This update prevents echo in Teams meetings when multiple users join from the same room. Teams will detect nearby devices and mute the audio of the later joiner

“Currently in Microsoft Teams, when multiple users are in a Teams meeting in the same room, a feedback loop is created, causing an echo. With this update, if multiple users are participating with laptops from the same location, Teams will notify the user that another Teams device has been detected nearby and is already included with audio in the current meeting. Teams will automatically mute the microphone and speakers of the person that joined when a user joins with audio on.”

Available to everyone in Public Preview channel.
