Microsoft Teams support now available for Surface Hub
Yes, we have the Microsoft Teams app available for all Surface Hubs running with Windows 10 Team Edition 1703.15063.1292. To make sure you're there, check you have KB4343889 installed on your Surface Hubs.
The instructions Daniel Hudson mentioned will work for this version, by either using MDM or the pre-configured PPKG files.
Make sure you choose the functionality mode that works best for you :-)

I've been looking forward to do this for so long, as it really is a major dependency for us to move forward with the whole journey from SfB to Teams within our company. Unfortunately after deploying the app and the config it seems the app tile is available but it will just basically load whiteboard 2016 and a big black bar where the MS teams UX should be. It says on the top of the section that is Microsoft Teams, but the rest is solid black.
I had chosen mode 1, to still currently planned SfB meetings from the device? Should the Hub user account have a Ms Teams license associated with it, or just its current skype for business plan 2 license? Or Any other changes that have to be made on the user account that is being for the Hub?

Hi Ron,
You must have a Microsoft Teams license assigned to the user to be able to connect Surface Hub Teams client.
Otherwise, as you mentioned, you'll get a black stripe where the Teams UX should be.
Without the license:
With the license:
- Hello Yoav, thank you for this. With SfB you had a plan1 and plan2 license, and with SfB for the Hub a SfB license plan 2 license was required. My assumption is at the moment while I still have the Hub not set for solely teams it now requires both an SfB license plan 2 license and a teams license? If I switch to teams only, will it function with just a teams license? and can I for example use a business essentials license for it as it has teams but not SfB plan2 and exchange 2.

Hi Ron,
The Microsoft Teams licensing will cover the Skype for Business connectivity features as well.
