Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 4, 2021 SharePoint Online 0 Comments

To improve the consistency of experience and improve performance, any file with multiple versions that is deleted from SharePoint or OneDrive which is preserved to the Preservation Hold Library (due to its applicable retention label, retention policies or eDiscovery holds) will now be retained as a single file containing its full version history, rather than each version being retained as individual files as has been the case until now.

Exchange online auto-expanding archive–Automatic archive of mailbox items in Purges,Versions and Discovery Holds folders

Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 4, 2021 Exchange Online 0 Comments

We are rolling out an update which will automatically move any mailbox items preserved in the “Purges”, “Versions”, and “Discovery Holds” folders in the primary mailbox to the archive mailbox daily. Customers will no longer be required to create separate policies for archiving email content in the “Recoverable Items” folders mentioned. Once this change finishes rolling out, the existing archiving policies created by customers for these folders will be ignored. This change does not impact the “Deletions” folder which is also part of the “Recoverable items” folder. 

When this will happen:

Microsoft Teams: Music Mode for Teams

Originally posted by Microsoft Oct 3, 2021 Microsoft Teams 0 Comments

In music mode, we support up to 32 kHz sampling
rate mono audio at 128 kbps, and optimize our internal audio processing
settings for reproducing music with high fidelity. Teams will automatically
adjust the audio bitrate based on the available bandwidth, going down to 48
kbps while still delivering good music quality. We also provide users the
option to turn off components such as echo cancellation, noise suppression, and
gain control if needed. To benefit from this improved fidelity, professional
microphones and headphones or high quality external loudspeakers are ideal (no
Bluetooth headsets). Built-in microphones and speakers on laptops such as the
Surface Book will also deliver good experience.
