Updates in Teams is an out-of-the-box app that enables people to create, submit, and review all their updates, check-ins, and reports in the flow of work. Whether those are recurring processes that happen on a regular basis, like a weekly update, store opening, or facility inspection, or in the moment updates that might be needed at any time, like a shift handoff, maintenance request, or incident report, Updates makes it easy for people to manage them all in one place. People can use the templates in the Updates app to get started and configure them for specific business or team needs.
When this will happen:
The Meeting Share Tray will no longer allow you to share the Freehand by InVision app to collaborate on a Freehand board during a meeting. Instead, users will be able to use the Freehand app for Teams Meetings, as described here: Freehand whiteboard app for Microsoft Teams – InVision Support.
Note: If your organization is not using Freehand by InVision you can safely disregard this message.
Suggested Replies will be enabled in group chats, allowing you to select a quick response when you are mentioned in a group chat or when you are having a 1:1 conversation within a group chat.
The modern meeting/calling experience will be available for Teams on the Web in Chrome and Edge browsers – including improved pre-join, dynamic view, and updated control bar.

Financial institutions consider chat messages as a form of data exfiltration, so it’s imperative for IT admins to gain flexibility and control over chat access for anonymous or unauthenticated users. The latter may be expected to join Teams meetings, but they should be restricted from seeing and accessing any type of electronic communication on chat. This feature provides additional security by only disabling chat write access for non-federated users and unauthenticated users who join Teams meetings through a link, so it must be used in conjunction with disabled meeting chat policy applied to financial advisors to remain compliant.

We ask that you pardon us for not having provided advance communication of this release. To log diagnostic data for Teams meetings, users must have the option in the Teams client turned on. Up until recently Teams media logging was turned off by default for all machines. With this update, Media logging is enabled by default on high-end machines. Media logs contain diagnostic data about audio, video, and screen sharing in Teams meetings. They are required for support cases that are linked to call-related issues. The list of CPUs with media logging enabled by default is in the public documentation.
When will this happen:
E-signature approvals will be available in the Approvals app in Teams. Users will be able to see a list of their e-sign requests for their chosen provider. They will be able to see the details and review the request. Request creators will be able to edit or cancel a request.

As a reminder, .Net 4.8 and WebView2 are required for the Teams Meeting Add-In in Outlook.
How this affects your organization:
I've been working with Microsoft Technologies over the last ten years, mainly focused on creating collaboration and productivity solutions that drive the adoption of Microsoft Modern Workplace.
