Users will now be able to share content from a standalone Teams webapp (from the browser) to Teams chats, channels and meetings (before and during the meeting).
In our efforts to bridge the gaps between general and other channels, introducing the ability to rename the general channel in your team. General channel in a team can be renamed by the team owner, or member (if they have permissions), to show up in the teams and channels list in alphabetical order.
Introducing a new meeting option that gives meeting organizers the flexibility to manage which attendees have access to meeting artifacts such as transcript, recording, AI-generated recap, and Copilot. Meeting organizers can select from three options: (1) People with existing access, (2) Organizers and Co-organizers, or (3) Specific People.
With this feature, Engage admins can remove specific users’ posts from the Engage home feed, storylines feed, and all email digests. Selected users are not notified about this change.
Engage admins may find this feature helps to moderate the visibility of content in the network. Mute user for network is part of a suite of moderation features in Engage, including view-only mode, close conversations, and more.
Administrators can upload and set images as custom themes in the Teams admin center for Teams devices, allowing images that reflect their organization’s branding. The feature will first launch for Teams Rooms on Android devices and then gradually release for other device types.
We’ve released updates to the following update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps:
Microsoft Syntex is introducing a new prebuilt model for identifying and optionally extracting sensitive information from SharePoint document libraries, with a rollout beginning in late May 2024 and completing by late June 2024. Users should be informed about this update.
Microsoft Purview | Data Loss Prevention will soon allow separate configuration of policy tips and user email notifications for SharePoint and OneDrive, aligning with Microsoft Exchange behavior. Admins can enable either or both features, or neither. Rollout begins mid-May 2024 for Public Preview and mid-June 2024 for General Availability. Configuration can be done via PowerShell or DLP settings post-rollout.
Microsoft Purview’s Data Lifecycle Management will soon integrate with Adaptive protection, automatically preserving items deleted by high-risk users. Public preview starts in May 2024. Organizations should enable Adaptive protection to use this feature, which applies a 120-day retention label without manual management.
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new draggable Presenter Toolbar for screensharing, offering presenters more control and customization. It will roll out in stages from early June to late July 2024, with no preparatory action required for organizations. Presenters can reposition the toolbar and it will collapse when not in use.
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.
