PowerPoint will add the AI-powered Designer editor by December 2025, enabling in-app image editing with features like generative erase, move, text editing, background removal, and auto-enhance. It will be enabled by default for all Microsoft 365 users, with usage limits based on subscription type.
Microsoft Agent 365, launching November 18, 2025, in the Frontier program, provides IT control for agents with security, productivity, and management tools integrated into Microsoft 365 admin center, Defender, Entra, and Purview. It offers agent inventory, access control, behavior monitoring, interoperability, and threat protection.
Viva Engage communities will default to viewing conversations by recent posts instead of recent activity starting January 2026. The new view is on by default, includes unread indicators in all feeds, and preserves user preferences across communities. No action or compliance changes are needed.
The Microsoft 365 Admin Center will feature a redesigned Copilot landing page with success metrics, actionable insights, a Security pivot for Purview, and a Usage pivot. Rollout starts mid-November 2025 for targeted release and late January 2026 for general availability, requiring no extra setup.
We’ve released updates to the following update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps:
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 will introduce an Agentic AI grading system by late November 2025, using large language models to analyze phishing submissions faster with natural language explanations. This feature is enabled by default, requires no admin action, and integrates AI with existing models and human review for accuracy.
Update: Release of this feature has been updated.
Microsoft Edge for Business will support Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat to summarize and provide context from browser tabs, Microsoft 365 documents, and YouTube videos starting mid-November 2025. The feature is off by default, respects DLP and policy settings, and requires Entra ID sign-in and appropriate licensing.
Microsoft Teams will soon detect and warn users of tenant-owned domain impersonation in external chats, displaying high-risk alerts when suspicious. This feature, enabled by default for organizations allowing external access, launches December 2025 across all platforms with no admin controls or required actions.
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.
