Teams user/device usage report and Graph API data source change

As communicated in our earlier message center post (MC343434 March ’22), we made updates to Teams related usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center (and corresponding graph APIs) to be more accurate and upgraded. Considering the underlying data source was revamped, it also introduced differences in the usage data reported by Microsoft 365 admin center vs usage data in Teams admin center. 

As promised earlier, to bring in consistency across different reporting surfaces, we are updating the Teams admin center usage reports and end user analytics in Teams with same underlying data source as Microsoft 365 Admin Center Teams usage reports.

Plan for Change: Ending support for Windows 8.1

As mentioned in MC403922, Windows 8.1 reaches end of extended support in January 2023, the majority of Intune customers have already updated their Windows devices so, we will be ending support for devices running Windows 8.1 on October 21, 2022. Additionally, the sideloading key scenario for line-of-business apps will stop being supported since it is only applicable to Windows 8.1 devices. 

Microsoft strongly recommends that you move to a supported version of Windows 10 or Windows 11, to avoid a scenario where you need service or support that is no longer available.
