As part of the Viva Engage (Yammer) transition to the Viva Topics platform, Viva Engage posts (conversations, questions, polls, announcements, storyline posts) will be considered as Viva Topic resources. As a result, topic names will be applied to posts and will grant limited access to the topic for all users with access to the post.
The Insights Report is available in the Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. The report summarizes issues, remediation steps taken, time savings, and proactively alerts IT to
issues before they become a problem for users. Previously available only via a managed service, now all Teams Rooms Pro customers can take advantage of this report.
Viva Topics provides a central knowledge base for manually created topics and definitions inside apps like Viva Engage. These topics don’t use Viva Topics’ AI, topic cards, or pages, but can be selected to classify conversations and posts in Viva Engage.
With this release, we are providing a way for Viva Engage admins to edit, create, and delete these “simple” topics without Viva licensing as a way to make knowledge management more accessible to more users. Please visit the ‘Manage topics’ page via the URL below:
When default labeling of files is enabled in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows, a default sensitivity label is applied to any unlabeled document when it is saved. To improve user confidence that default labeling is functioning, the sensitivity bar will now indicate that a label will be applied on next save when the user opens a new or previously unlabeled file.
When this will happen:
Videos uploaded to SharePoint Online, Yammer, and Office.com will have transcriptions automatically generated shortly after upload. This feature will not be available for A1 and trial tenancies.

Microsoft Teams admins will soon be able to capture and redirect requests for external collaboration in shared channels. This update of Microsoft Teams will be rolling out on Teams admin center, Microsoft Teams Desktop and Web, and will provide a way for organizations to capture and redirect requests for external collaboration when users attempt to add an external member to a shared channel where B2B direct connect cross-tenant trust has not been mutually configured between the two organizations.
We will be enabling Dynamic Emergency calling support for Teams Web. This will allow users to manually add an address on the web client before dialing the 911 call. Since this is critical functionality, we will be releasing this functionality as soon as possible.
When this will happen:
OneDrive People View: Easily get to files shared by people with the new People view in OneDrive Web
Sometimes it can be hard to remember the name of a file or exactly when it was shared, but you know who shared it with you. Because of this, we’ve created an entirely new way to get back to your shared files both internal and external – organized by the people you work with! This view presents the people you have recently collaborated with, along with all the files that have been shared with you by each person.
Coming soon to public preview, Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance will release enhancements to the investigation and remediation workflows which will help designated investigators facilitate quicker and better-informed actions on policy matches. Enhancements will be available to designated Communication Compliance investigators with the appropriate role-based access control permissions, and include bulk policy exports, interactive how-to demos, and additional context around policy settings and keywords/conditions flagged in a policy.

Even though they were just released, custom list templates are getting another boost! As part of our efforts to evolve Microsoft Lists and enable more users to take advantage of automations, admin users now have the option to create and deploy custom list templates that include pre-created Power Automate flows. When end users create a list from the deployed custom list template, they will also have the option to install any pre-created flows that are attached to that list template. You can use this feature to create a list + automation template that can be adopted by many teams across your organization.
