In parallel with the new Teams client supporting multi-tenant multi-account scenarios, Teams meeting add-in in Outlook will also start supporting the ability for users to switch between multiple tenants and accounts to schedule Teams meetings.
When this will happen:
Teams Cross Cloud Authenticated Meeting join (CCM) delivers the ability for a Teams user to join a meeting hosted in another cloud while signed into their account in their home tenant. This feature provides the meeting host the ability to validate the identities of meeting participants without granting those participants any access to the host tenant.

Teams Cross Cloud Guest Access (CCGA) extends existing Guest Access functionality allowing a user to participate in rich collaboration experiences in teams, channels, documents and Teams meetings between tenants across Microsoft clouds. Guests are able to participate in a full collaboration experience including audio/video, screen share, file share and both 1:1 and 1: many chats. These features are enabled through the Azure Active Directory B2B feature and the newly released Cross Tenant Access Settings. When combined tenants can enable trusts between tenants and between Microsoft clouds.

We’re rolling out the preview of the new Microsoft Teams desktop app for Mac to our users in the Public preview and Targeted release programs. Read MC533687 that we announced in March 2023 to learn about the benefits of new Teams for Windows.
The new app is built on a foundation of speed, performance, and flexibility, saving you time and helping your organization work together more efficiently. The new Teams app enables users that manage multiple work or school accounts to collaborate more effectively across organizational boundaries. You can seamlessly engage with users across multiple accounts and organizations without having to drop out of a call or meeting, ensuring no disruption to your workflow. With multi-tenant organization (MTO), users in organizations that manage employees across multiple tenants will have the ability to search for coworkers in another tenant, have single chat thread with other users, receive real-time notifications, join meetings, and calls in another tenant, and multitask from their home tenant.
To provide a unified workflow experience within Microsoft Teams we will be merging the existing Workflows app with the Power Automate app. With this merger the Power Automate app will be changing its name to “Workflows”.
There will be no change to user experience within the app. Users will still be able to manage all their flows within the app along with browsing workflow templates or creating a new flow from scratch. Whether you have existing workflows in the Power Automate app or the Workflows app your workflows will persist in the new unified app. Users will still be able to configure new workflows through the various app entry points (tab, bot, message extension, message action, personal app).
We are making some changes to Microsoft Teams Room on Windows (MTR-W) and Teams Displays that will impact Cortana voice assistance. Come end of September 2023, we will no longer support Cortana voice assistance, both push-to-talk capability and wakeword detection, on all MTR-W devices and Teams Displays, specifically Lenovo ThinkSmart View.
We know that this change may affect some of the ways you work on Teams devices, so we want to help you transition smoothly. We are excited to keep innovating and using AI to help you work smarter and faster. We are working towards new ways to use AI to save time and focus on what matters most to you.
Report an issue on Teams Android devices will be temporarily unavailable while we improve the feedback workflow and deliver new feedback mechanisms that will give IT admins control and even better functionality to support their organizations in a future app update.
When this will happen:
Teams calling allows users (delegators) to share lines with other users (delegates). Shared line appearance lets a user choose a delegate to answer or handle calls on their behalf.
We are launching a simplified experience for users who have set up call delegation which will be available on the Teams mobile app. Mobile users now have a Shared Line Appearance tab on the calls app. The new UI will allow delegates to easily view the different delegator lines they manage and their own delegates.

When this will happen:
Beginning rollout in late September, users in your organization will be able to initiate a self-service trial of Microsoft Teams Premium using their Azure Active Directory (AAD) credentials with no requirement to input payment information, while providing complete visibility and control to their Microsoft 365 admin. Self-servicing allows end users to start the 60-day trial and generate signals on utilization for IT to identify users that would benefit from a Teams Premium license. These trial licenses are separate from your existing Teams Premium licenses.
Note: These trial capabilities will be available worldwide. Trials are not available for Government customers.
