Starting June 2026, Microsoft will no longer send email notifications when Teams meeting recordings are about to expire or have been deleted.
Defender for Office 365 URL click alerts are expanding to Microsoft Teams. When users click malicious links in Teams messages, alerts now appear in the Defender portal for faster detection and investigation.
The SharePoint list agent is generally available. The agent creates lists from plain language or existing content in Teams, Outlook, and Word, but its scope is limited to list creation.

Teams Mobile now lets users choose which browser opens non-Office and non-PDF links. The system default browser or Edge Mobile.
Microsoft is retiring the Skills Agent and People Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot as of March 2026, and recommends two other Frontier agents instead. I wouldn’t count on those agents for a long-term availability.

Microsoft now offers a high-usage PAYG report to help identify users who are approaching the cost of a Microsoft 365 Copilot Business license, making license assignment worth considering.

Microsoft Teams on the web now consolidates speaker, microphone, and camera controls into a single device settings panel, making it easier for users to configure their audio and video before or during meetings.
Organizations should update Secure Boot certificates ahead of the June 2026 expiration deadline. In this post, I share my personal experience deploying these certificates via Intune, encountering a licensing error, working around it with a registry key, resolving a BIOS-related failure, and verifying the final result with PowerShell.
Microsoft Teams is getting a new setting that lets users control what happens when they press Enter while writing a message, helping prevent accidental sends and making the compose experience more predictable.
