General availability – Receive all chats messages in all scopes

The resource-specific consent (RSC) permissions model for receiving all message, originally developed for Microsoft Teams Graph APIs, is being extended to bot scenarios. This feature was available for the channel scope and now is being extended to chat scope.  With RSC, conversation owners can consent for a bot to receive all user messages in standard channels and chats without being @mentioned.

This change is related to Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 100883

Microsoft Teams: Automatic lowering of a user’s Raised Hand after speaking

To reduce the number of stale raised hands in meetings, we will now suggest users to lower their raised hand after we detect they spoke in the meeting.

This should ensure smoother meeting facilitation for organizers and presenters.

Add people to a group chat from compose box via @ mention

Teams Chat is for fast-paced communication, and we want to ensure nothing gets in the way. Pull in via @mention provides a short cut to the add-dialog saving you time from realizing the person isn’t already in the chat and navigating (2-clicks) to the add-dialog manually.  Users can now add someone to a group chat directly from the compose box via @ mention.
