Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature: Speaker View. This option can be selected from the view switcher within meetings, allowing users to effortlessly track the current active speaker. Speaker View is particularly effective in scenarios with a limited number of key speakers and a large audience, such as town halls, trainings, or lectures – especially from the student’s perspective.

The Viva Engage admin experience currently available within the Teams application will soon be available within the Yammer web surface (being renamed to Viva Engage) for Microsoft Viva customers.
This web Viva Engage admin center is accessible from web.yammer.com and provides an additional entry point for admins (especially users who don’t have access to Teams due to licensing constraints) to setup, configure and manage the various features for their organization.
When using Microsoft 365 Apps on the web for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, files that have a sensitivity label will also apply those labels to PDFs created in those apps. Documents that also have encryption cannot be converted to PDF without first removing protection.

OneNote is making an important change to how it treats embedded files that have dangerous extensions. Previously, OneNote would show users a warning dialog when users tried to open an embedded file with a dangerous extension; users could open the file by choosing OK in the dialog.
With this update, OneNote will show users a dialog that will let them know that their administrator has blocked them from opening the embedded file that has a dangerous extension, to also align with the same extensions that Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint currently block. For a list of extensions, please visit Blocked attachments in Outlook.
