Hi Laura_995.

Good day to you!

I hope you are doing well. Thanks for reaching out to our Microsoft Community Forum. We will be happy to help you.

Regarding your question, the official article doesn't explicitly mention the detailed device types. Generally, "Other devices" includes devices that do not fall into the main categories like desktops, mobile phones, or tablets. This can encompass a variety of devices such as smart TVs and other internet-connected devices that access SharePoint but are not as commonly used as the primary categories.

In this case, if you would like to know the detailed device types, I recommend you contact your tenant admin (or IT team whose account has the Global admin role) to check the information of registered devices in the Microsoft Entra admin center (Identity> Devices) or through the audit log in the Microsoft Purview Porta (Solution> Audit> Search).

Appreciate your understanding and patience. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.

Hope you have a nice day. 😊

Sincerely,

George| Microsoft Community Moderator
