Starting September 1, 2024, Microsoft will retire the Feed for Viva Connections web part and Video news link. By November 5, 2024, support will end, and users are advised to use alternative solutions. Site editors should prepare for these changes and inform users accordingly.
Outlook’s new update replaces the quick compose pop-up with inline appointment creation on the calendar. Rollout starts in September 2024 for Targeted Release and October 2024 for General Availability, completing by November 2024. No admin action needed, but users should be informed.
Microsoft Purview | Insider Risk Management will soon support bulk upload for priority user groups. The Public Preview is set for mid-August 2024, with General Availability in early February 2025. This update allows admins to upload multiple UPNs via CSV, simplifying user group management. No admin action is required for the rollout.
We heard feedback from you, our customers, and are adding support for choosing fonts while you compose in Outlook for iOS and Android. There is also improved support for fonts in the reading pane.
Updates for Android-based Microsoft Teams devices will be more flexible, allowing for stand-alone app updates. Rollouts start in August 2024 and will enable updates via the Teams admin center for individual components like Microsoft Intune and Authenticator, with automatic updates for certain apps. No action is required from administrators to prepare.
A new Microsoft OneDrive feature allows bulk export of admin reports on device status, including various user and sync details. It’s linked to Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 88870 and will be available between December 2024 and January 2025. Organizations should enable OneDrive sync reports for data availability.
The new Outlook for Windows allows users to open attachments in their preferred desktop apps by double-clicking, streamlining the workflow. This update, linked with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 401123, will roll out between late August and mid-October 2024. No admin action is required for this automatic update.
Microsoft Teams is rolling out a feature for meeting organizers to enable attendee voting on questions and archiving questions from the Q&A feed. This is part of Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 398445 and will be available worldwide by late September 2024. Organizers should be notified to prepare for these updates.
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.
