Teams Rooms app update tool is no longer recommended for new Autopilot deployments

This was a quiet, documentation-led day with one actionable Teams Rooms change. The Autopilot guidance says the Teams Rooms app has included automatic updates since April 2024, so the app update tool is no longer recommended for new deployments. A separate known-issues entry records possible Large Gallery unavailability on specified Teams Rooms for Android versions, while release notes document a low-bitrate video fix. Teams Phone updates only reorder language entries in reference and setup material.
