# azure-communication-rooms — Microsoft Communication Rooms Client Library for Python

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 122.7K/mo

## What it is and what it does

Azure Communication Rooms is a Python SDK for managing scheduled meetings within Azure Communication Services. It provides a client interface to create, retrieve, update, and delete rooms with configurable participant permissions and optional PSTN dial-out capability. Rooms have configurable validity windows (start and end times) and support role-based participant management (Attendee, Consumer, Presenter).

The package wraps Azure's REST API for room operations, handling authentication via connection strings and providing exception handling through azure-core. It depends on azure-core for HTTP communication, isodate for datetime handling, and typing-extensions for type hints. Typical workflows involve initializing a RoomsClient, creating a room with optional participants and validity dates, then managing participants or room properties over its lifetime.

Use it for:

- Create scheduled video meeting rooms with predefined participant lists and role-based access control.
- Build meeting management systems that update room validity windows or participant permissions after creation.
- Implement PSTN dial-out functionality for rooms to allow phone-based meeting access.
- Retrieve and list existing rooms to display meeting inventory or audit meeting configurations.
- Remove or update participants in active rooms to manage meeting access dynamically.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Manages Azure Communication Services rooms for scheduled meetings with participant access control and PSTN dial-out support.

Yes. This is a production-stable, actively maintained Azure SDK with low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and permissive licensing. Install it if you need to programmatically manage Azure Communication Services rooms from Python; skip it if you don't use Azure Communication Services or manage rooms only through the portal.

## Install

pip install azure-communication-rooms
uv add azure-communication-rooms
poetry add azure-communication-rooms

## Installing azure-communication-rooms

Before you install: Low friction installation with three lightweight runtime dependencies. Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-08-14 and latest release 2025-03-19. Supports current Python versions (3.8–3.12).

License in practice: MIT License permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions; you may use, modify, and distribute this package freely provided you include the license notice.

Quickstart:

pip install azure-communication-rooms

from azure.communication.rooms import RoomsClient

client = RoomsClient.from_connection_string(conn_str='<connection_str>')
room = client.create_room()

Requires an Azure subscription and a deployed Communication Services resource; Python 3.8 or later.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PSTN dial-out feature availability depends on specific Azure region or subscription tier.
- Default room validity window (180 days) and whether it can be customized beyond the API parameters shown.
