Microsoft Edge currently opens external links using the “Last Used” profile by default. While for enterprise users, the Primary Work Profile (signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID for enrolling the device) is normally the best profile for opening external links. With this feature, for Windows, Edge will check if it the Primary Work Profile exists and make it the default profile for opening external links if available. For Mac and Linux, if only one work profile signed in with a Microsoft Entra ID account is found, it’s treated as the Primary Work Profile. Admins can config the policy “EdgeOpenExternalLinksWithPrimaryWorkProfileEnabled” to turn this feature off.
We’re updating the default global calling policy for new tenants to allow users to transcribe or record calls. Previously, these settings were turned off by default in the host global policy. With this update, recording and transcription will be enabled by default in the global calling policy for new tenants and existing tenants who have not modified the host global policy. This change will not impact existing custom policies or modified global policies. After this rollout, recording and transcription services will be more accessible to users, allowing them to turn on and use recording and transcription as needed during Teams calls. Neither recording nor transcription will be automatically enabled in Teams calls. This update is designed to broaden access to AI-powered features like Calls Recap and Calling Copilot, enhancing the overall calling experience. It also brings calling policy defaults in line with Teams meetings policies, where recording and transcription are already enabled by default.
On Outlook mobile we are improving the “Contacts” experience by showing additional profile information for your contacts, where applicable. Secondly, this improvement hides identical duplicate contacts.

The Microsoft 365 Copilot Interaction Export API allows third-party apps to export Copilot user interaction data for security and compliance processing.

M365 Commercial customers can use Edge polices (WebContentFilteringBlockedCategories) to block non-secure LLMs in Edge and block other browsers to redirect users to a more secure alternative like Copilot Chat.
