Set your work location for the day so your team can learn about your availability for in-office and remote collaboration. Click on a user’s avatar or profile photo anywhere in Teams and get an overview of their online status, the next available calendar slot in Outlook, work hours, local time, and work location (remote or office).

Admins can manage the end-to-end lifecycle of their Surface Hubs as Teams devices from Teams admin center, available in GCC High.

Debug log files are automatically produced by the Microsoft Teams client, which can aid in monitoring and troubleshooting Teams. Also known as “Web logs”, Debug logs have historically been constrained by a limited memory buffer. If not collected by the user immediately after an issue occurs, the “signature” of the issue may not be present in the Debug logs, making it more difficult to resolve recent and future issues.
This is being addressed with Continuous Web Logs (CWL). With CWL enabled, once the in-memory buffer reaches the limit, log lines will be saved to a file on user’s machine extending the log capturing window up to one business day for an average user, providing a significantly larger window for troubleshooting.

We are excited to introduce a new and improved experience to search within chats and channels.

Microsoft Teams admins will soon be able to search for and identify monetized Teams apps are eligible to contribute towards an organization’s Microsoft Azure consumption commitment (MACC) as well as view remaining unspent MACC for their organization.

These changes provide parity with the Azure Portal in terms of ability to search and identify Teams apps with transactable SaaS offers that are eligible to contribute towards an organization’s Azure consumption commitment.

Microsoft Teams IT Admins will soon be able to block anonymous users from accessing the chat in internally hosted meetings by disabling their read access on top of the existing disabled write access. This release of Microsoft Teams updated meeting chat setting will be rolling out across Microsoft Teams Desktop, Mobile and Web and will provide an additional way for tenants to manage external users’ chat access in meetings hosted by internal users.
