Microsoft Purview is expanding access to wider cloud security activity events for Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint. As part of the changes, standard users of Purview Audit will begin to generate four new Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint events that were previously generated only for Audit Premium licensed users: MailItemsAccessed, Send, SearchQueryInitiatedExchange, and SearchQueryInitiatedSharepoint. The following logs will differ based on the user’s license and additional metadata will be added to Exchange logs when the user is assigned an Audit Premium license: SensitivityLabel for MailItemsAccessed.

We’re pleased to announce the upcoming Multi-Tenant Organization (MTO) capabilities in Microsoft Teams. Admins can activate these features by configuring an MTO group in the Microsoft 365 admin center, while users utilize the new Teams desktop client.
Aimed at organizations managing employees across multiple tenants within the same cloud boundary, these features provide a seamless collaboration experience within MTO groups, enabling access to resources across tenants. The capabilities cover search, chat, calling, meetings, and content sharing, eliminating silos and facilitating collaboration across tenant boundaries.
Users joining Teams meetings will now see the hosting organization’s privacy url instead of Microsoft Privacy url.

We have made some changes to system generated emails from SharePoint workflows and alerts display names.
To align system generated emails with best practices, SharePoint Online workflow and alert emails will be displayed as “SharePoint Online”. There is no change to the underlying sending email address, no-reply@sharepointonline.com.
Outlook for web will migrate to a new appID. The existing Microsoft-owned appID used by OWA is changing in preparation for OWA’s authentication platform migration to a SPA auth model using MSAL.

Similar to other channels in a team, now you will be able to hide general channels as well!
As a team member, when you become a part of a team, you see general channel always shown in your teams and channels list. Sometimes, even though the channel is not used, you still have it sticking in your teams and channels list. Introducing the capability for you to hide general channel, like any other channel in the team. Note, if general is the last channel in the team, then the team will get hidden as well.
