New Meeting Option and Meeting Policy “Turn off copying or forwarding of meeting chat”

“Turn off copying or forwarding of meeting chat” is a new meeting option that gives the meeting organizer the option to disable copying and sharing features on meeting chat messages for participants to reduce the risk of data leak. Once this restriction is enabled, meeting chat participants will not be able to copy chat messages using menu options or keyboard shortcuts, or forward or share messages to Outlook. There is also a new Meeting Policy setting in Teams admin center for admin to control whether users can see or use this feature in the Meeting Options page. Admins can also set the default value for this meeting option in Meeting Templates that they create. This meeting capability can also be configured within a sensitivity label policy: Configure Teams meetings with protection for highly sensitive data.

Microsoft Teams: Discover Feed in Channels

We are bringing users a personalized channel feed from people and topics users care about. Instead of going through each channel listed to catch up on what’s happening in the org, users can come to Discover Feed in Teams to catch up quickly on relevant channel conversations.  

Users can see why a specific channel post is being shown in their feed and they can also customize their feed preferences by selecting “Do not show post from X person/channel”.  Users can also give direct feedback if a post seen on the feed is useful to them or not.

Microsoft Teams: Promote channel creation

Today, our experience focusses on letting users create team at the top level, with channel creation as a per team level option. Looking at the user behavior here, users end up creating more teams, where it could have been channels within teams, leading to team proliferation and difficulty in managing teams. To address this, we are looking to promote channel creation.

For users to collaborate effectively, they need to set-up the right collaboration space. Channels being the main hub of collaboration, we made it easier for users to create channels. With the channel creation option elevated to the top, users can now create the appropriate collab space by picking between team or channel. They will be able to host the channel into a team of their choosing.
