New policy settings available for Microsoft Feedback Portal

We are introducing a new policy for admins to be able to manage user access to the Feedback portal (announced in MC289676). The Feedback portal allows your users to submit community feedback and interact with (upvote, comment) feedback submitted by other users. It also allows for users to track and follow-up on feedback they submit to Microsoft.

The feedback we collect from your users is available for you to review in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Keeping the feedback experiences enabled will let you see what your users are saying about the products they are using.

Announcing Public Preview of Idle Session Timeout for Microsoft 365 Web Apps

Today’s release of Idle session timeout will allow IT admins to configure a tenant-wide timeout policy to automatically sign out users after a period of inactivity on Microsoft 365 web apps. This will help protect sensitive company data from unauthorized access while providing peace of mind for end users while working on unmanaged and/or shared devices. This feature is an improvement over, and will eventually replace, current app-specific idle timeout settings in Outlook Web App (OWA) and SharePoint Online (SPO).

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 55183.

Reminder: IE11 desktop application retires in 3 months on June 15, 2022 – Set up IE mode today (non-LTSC, non-Server)

As previously announced (MC306663 – Dec), the future of Internet Explorer on Windows is in Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer mode (IE mode) provides legacy browser support within Microsoft Edge. Because of this, the IE11 desktop application will be retired on June 15, 2022, on certain versions of Windows 10. This means that the IE11 desktop application will no longer be supported and afterwards will redirect to Microsoft Edge if a user tries to access it.

With 3 months left before retirement, we highly recommend you begin testing your sites in IE mode, followed by disabling the IE11 application completely via policy to ensure readiness.
