Microsoft Teams is introducing updates to app sharing in meetings, with a Public Developer Preview in mid-April 2024 and General Availability in mid-May 2024. New features include one-click sharing for non-collaborative apps and the ability for developers to enable sharing of specific app parts. No user education is required for the rollout.
In Microsoft Teams, presenters can enable annotations during screen sharing, allowing all participants to collaborate live. Meeting content with annotations can be saved as a Microsoft Whiteboard, accessible for continued collaboration post-meeting. Rollout begins late May 2024, with no admin action required.

Microsoft Teams meeting recordings will now be saved to the organizer’s OneDrive by default, with rollout dates varying from mid-May to late August 2024, depending on the service availability.

Microsoft Teams is shortening meeting URLs for easier sharing across all platforms. The rollout starts in early May 2024 and will be completed by early July 2024. Existing URLs will still work; new URLs will have a simplified syntax. Organizations should check integrations that use URL parameters and update documentation. No admin action is required.
Microsoft Teams is enhancing the annotations feature to allow interaction with apps and websites during screen-sharing sessions without ending the annotation. Rollout begins early May 2024, with completion by late May. No admin action needed; users should be informed of the update.
With the bookable desks feature in Teams, users can reserve desks upon arrival by plugging in to shared desks. IT admins can discover bookable desks in shared spaces in the Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro Management portal and collect utilization data from these desks for proactive management and planning.
