Microsoft Teams for Web is now available for Firefox, Safari, and Linux users. It supports the latest three versions of Firefox and the latest two versions of Safari. Users can switch back to classic Teams for Web until mid-May 2024. No admin action is required before the rollout.
Microsoft Teams is introducing a tenant-wide policy to control permissions for downloading meeting transcripts, with IT admins able to exempt certain security group members. The rollout begins mid-May 2024 for Targeted Release and extends to General Availability in various stages through August 2024. Default transcript permissions will also be updated post-rollout.
Administrators using the Microsoft 365 admin center and Teams admin center who manage Teams apps that work on Outlook and the Microsoft 365 App will be able to apply their changes across all three clients (Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365 App). Before this update, changes made through the Integrated Apps section in the Microsoft 365 admin center would only affect these apps on Outlook and the Microsoft 365 App; similarly, changes made in the Teams admin center would exclusively affect Teams. With this change, management of these apps will be unified across Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365 App.
Disable the ability for attendees to share the webinar event page to social networking sites for public events post-registration.
The message informs about ensuring optimal audio and video quality during Microsoft Teams calls by allowing access to a specific URL as part of the preparation for the Noise Suppression feature.
The Calls app in Teams will soon have AI-generated notes and action items from your calls, so you can pay attention to your conversations and save time coordinating next steps. Intelligent call recap will work for both VoIP and PSTN calls, and summaries will be generated from calls for which transcription was enabled.
The updated Live Share SDK for Microsoft Teams apps now supports chat/channel tabs and Collaborative Stageview. General availability begins mid-May 2024, affecting Teams for Desktop, Web, and Mac but not iOS or Android. Apps with Live Share RSC permissions can update to use new features. Preparation involves disabling unwanted apps and updating documentation.
Microsoft Teams will support apps in group chats with external users starting mid-May 2024. The rollout includes Teams for web, desktop, and mobile. Group chat hosts can add apps, but external users can’t manage them. Existing access policies will apply, and organizations can opt out if desired.
Meeting organizers will have options in the meeting settings on who can admit attendees from the lobby into the meeting.
