The ‘Investigation priority score’ feature in Microsoft Defender is retiring from mid-September to late October 2024. SOC administrators and analysts will need to use ‘Entra risk score’ instead and are advised to consult provided Microsoft Entra ID Protection resources for preparation.
Microsoft Teams now supports embedding town hall events in sites managed by users. This feature includes engagement tools like Q&A and captions within the embed player. Organizers can get the unique embed code from the town hall scheduling template to add to SharePoint or Microsoft 365 sites. Rollout starts early October 2024, with full availability by late November 2024. The feature is detailed in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 401120. Organizers should prepare to implement the code upon release.

Project for the web and Roadmap features are rolling out to Project GGCH customers.
The new policy gives IT admins enhanced flexibility with distinct settings for voice and face enrollment. This adjustment provides greater control over managing these features, allowing organizations to tailor to their needs. Voice and face enrollment will be enabled by default, enabling voice isolation and speaker recognition in meeting rooms and enhancing intelligent meeting recaps and Copilot for meetings.
Currently, when we determine whether a user is entitled to submit feedback, we only look at the feedback policy for their primary (global) account. Going forward, we are going to make the feedback policy check more restrictive which is more secure. We’ll be looking at feedback policies for all users’ accounts and basing their eligibility off the most restrictive policy value found. For example, if any of the users’ accounts have Feedback disabled by a policy, we won’t show the Feedback button in the Help tab of the ribbon for any of their accounts. #newoutlookforwindows
We are shipping an items delete confirmation that will trigger when the user is about to delete shared items. This UI format will also replace the existing mass delete experience. These confirmations will occur when files are deleted from File Explorer when the user is running OneDrive and not paused.
This feature brings a new way for users to create posts, communities etc. through a centralized creation button in Viva Engage. Currently, Engage users need to go to different locations in the application for different creation types – a post, community, etc. Starting in October 2024, a Viva Engage user will be able to create the different types of content already enabled for them, using a centralized creation button. This new feature eases the process of creation and helps users quickly discover the various creation options they are licensed to use.
Updates to the office Cloud Policy Service setting “Turn off sharing recommendation” will disable the ability for users to share folders with individual users. Currently, the policy blocked users’ ability to update default and anonymous permission levels for shared folders. This functionality will remain and will not be changed. The current policy and how it works with calendar sharing will not be impacted by this change and will remain as implemented. #newoutlookforwindows
We are adding support for sort by flag status, flag due date and flag start date.
