Microsoft Teams admin center: Activity log for Teams Phone device management

Originally posted by Microsoft Nov 27, 2024 Uncategorized 0 Comments

We’re excited to announce the rollout of a new feature in the Teams admin center: Activity log for Teams Phone device management. This feature empowers Teams administrators to actively monitor and track device operations, providing greater control over remote operations on Teams devices.

Currently, the Activity log supports only the remote management of contacts on Teams Phones; however, we’re working to expand this feature to other device types and additional operation categories.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 420326.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out this feature in mid-January 2025 and expect to complete by mid-March 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

Admins can access the new Activity log by navigating to the Teams admin center > Teams Devices > Phones > Activity log

Because only remote management of contacts for Teams Phones is currently supported, admins will be able to track operations such as Add contacts or Delete contacts and details like created time, impacted users, operation status, and more. By selecting an operation name, admins can view status updates at a granular level for each device involved in that operation.

The Activity log will be available by default.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. If you have questions or need further assistance regarding this feature, please reach out to our support team.

Before rollout, we will update this post with revised documentation.
