In the Microsoft Teams Shifts app, we are upgrading the user experience for frontline managers who create schedules by importing an Excel file. Frontline managers will be able to track progress on their current imports and have a limited view of their import history.
In Teams settings, users have the option to select their preferred skin tone. This preference will be applied to all emojis and reactions in chats, channels, and desktop/web meetings, allowing users to express themselves more authentically in conversations.
Microsoft Teams Phone Mobile will now support group calls and meeting nudges when a call is answered on a native dialer.

This new Microsoft Teams feature for Town Hall empowers organizers, presenters, and even external presenters to engage in private discussions before, during, and after their virtual events. This functionality facilitates real-time collaboration, whether prepping pre-event, coordinating seamlessly during presentations, or debriefing post-event, this feature is your ultimate tool for driving impactful and successful virtual events.
On the Town Hall Scheduling form, the event organizer must define their presenters and external presenters for this exclusive group chat to be created. After the event is created, the organizer can access this chat before/after the event from the Town Hall Scheduling form, the Teams Calendar, or the event’s Details page. Presenters (and external presenters from guests and federated tenants) can access this chat before/after the event from the Teams Calendar or the event’s Details page. This chat will appear in their chat pane. During the event, organizers, presenters, and external presenters (including anonymous presenters) can access this chat from within the in-meeting chat by selecting the tab for Organizers and Presenters.
Note: This message is relevant to organizations that haven’t yet fully transitioned to New Teams on Windows PCs. If every Teams user in your organization is already using New Teams, no further action is required.
New Teams removes support for ADAL (Active Directory Authentication Library), a legacy SDK used in rare cases by Teams Classic. This change is part of our broader effort to improve performance and security.
Users will be able to easily access Copilot on the Teams mobile app.
Organizers who schedule meetings where attendees are presenters by default will now have a secured Microsoft Teams meetings experience. We are introducing a PowerShell, so admins can control the presenter role permissions in untrusted environments, such as EDU, where students assigned as presenters can remove other students from the meeting.
Key changes that apply to personal and work or school accounts excluding Microsoft Teams Rooms:
We’re thrilled to announce the addition of a new RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) role in Microsoft Teams Admin Center: the Teams Telephony Admin. This role has been specifically designed to manage telephony-related functions within the Teams Admin Center.
When this will happen:
For organizations with a Teams Room Pro license, admins will be able to configure and require a meeting ID and passcode to join a meeting from a Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, to ensure higher levels of security and privacy. This means that, if the IT admin has configured the room to use this feature, the room user is required to enter the meeting ID and passcode when tapping the Join button from the Teams Room calendar.
