Adding new, more granular permissions for Viva Glint administration. These areas include Advanced Configuration, Nudges, General Settings, and Viva Integrations. Updating the name of the highest privileged role in Viva Glint to “Viva Glint Service Admin”, and for increased security, restricting the ability to assign new Viva Glint Service Admins to the MAC only.
We’ve released updates to the following update channels for Microsoft 365 Apps:
Support for the SSRS Report Viewer SharePoint Webpart ends April 13, 2026. It will remain functional but unsupported. Organizations should transition to embedding SSRS reports in SharePoint using URL parameters. No admin action is required, and no compliance issues are identified.
Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps will update the Microsoft 365 connector configuration page in January 2026, adding clearer layouts and new default values for new connectors to reduce misconfigurations. Existing connectors remain unchanged. Admins should review current settings to ensure required Entra permissions are enabled.
Microsoft is retiring endpoint-sensitive data alerting in the Microsoft Defender portal by March 23, 2026. Organizations must switch to Microsoft Purview DLP for alerting, enforcement, and investigation of sensitive data activities on endpoints. Existing Defender alert policies will stop generating alerts after this date.
Teams Premium will allow organizations to replace standard meeting reactions with custom branded visuals via customization policies. Admins upload assets and assign themes, while users select themes when scheduling meetings. Rollout begins late January 2026, enhancing on-brand meeting experiences without new compliance concerns.
Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint will support enterprise image libraries via Adobe Experience Manager starting February 2026. Admins can connect AEM libraries for branded slide creation, enhancing brand consistency. Setup requires deploying the AEM Copilot connector and ensuring rich image metadata; no opt-in is needed.
Microsoft Teams will add a per-user setting allowing users to choose if pressing Enter sends a message (default) or starts a new line (with Ctrl/Cmd + Enter to send). Shift + Enter always inserts a new line. This applies to Desktop and Web, rolling out February–March 2026, with no admin action needed.
Microsoft Viva Glint introduces granular permissions for Advanced Configuration, Nudges, General Settings, and Integrations. The top role is renamed “Viva Glint Service Admin,” assignable only via Microsoft Admin Center by M365 Global or Viva Glint Tenant Admins. Rollout starts and completes in February 2026.
