With the recent 1000 person meeting deployment, we are providing Admin additional support to troubleshoot meetings. We have added the following capabilities in Teams Admin Center:
Creators can now build custom Together Mode scenes using our newly built Scene Studio – a web application in the new Microsoft Teams Developer Center – to bring new and exciting Together mode scenes to users.
Creators can use these custom scenes for their own meetings, use a link to share with other users, or publish them more broadly to the organization or public Microsoft Teams store. Sharing a scene through a link allows creators to share their custom scenes with other users without having to publish to the app store.
Note: if your organization does not use Mac OS you can safely disregard this message.
With this update, your users will be able to choose their preferred means of Teams notifications delivery, either via the Teams built-in notification system or via Mac
The new version of Network planner in the Teams Admin Center will use the latest bandwidth requirements of Teams clients to help you better estimate the bandwidth needs for your organization.

We recently rolled out the Multi-Window Producer experience (announced in MC248212, April 2021) to all users. Since the Multi-Window Producer experience for Live Events currently does not have the Call Health Panel, we are providing an opportunity for you to opt your users out of the Multi-Window Producer experience and continue using the single view experience until the Call Health Panel is available for the Multi-Window Producer Experience.

This new external group chat feature enables your users to initiate and participate in group Teams chats with users from outside your organization, AAD identity required. Expanding on the existing ability for Teams users to find, participate in 1:1 chat, call and set up meetings with external users, external group chat in Teams supports up to 250 participants across multiple organizations in a single chat. This is rolling out on Teams desktop, web and mobile.
General availability of Together Mode and removal of the Preview label.
When this will happen
Apps will now be available for use in external meetings and chats. Users from the host organization (the user who creates a meeting or group chat) can install, update and delete apps. External users (belonging to other organizations) invited to the meeting or chat will be able to interact with only the apps host users install.
The Me Menu updates were originally announced in MC228368 (Dec ’20). To ensure the feature was ready, the rollout was delayed and we are now ready to proceed.
Access to Settings, Zoom Controls, Keyboard Shortcuts, About, and Check for Updates is moving from the Me Menu to a new menu in the title bar. The Me Menu will be focused on account management, where users can switch to another account or tenant through the first level of the Me Menu. The following links will be moved out of the Me Menu into a new menu in the title bar:
The Teams mobile app now allows you to access files even when you are offline or in bad network conditions. Simply select the files you need access to, and Teams will keep a downloaded version to use in your mobile app. This is rolling out on the Teams Android App.
