Microsoft Teams now integrates with the Microsoft Defender Tenant Allow/Block List, enabling admins to centrally manage blocked external domains across Microsoft 365 services.
Teams Premium now includes a new Prevent screen capture feature. The feature blocks screenshots and recordings on Windows, Mac, and Android, limits video capture on iOS, and forces unsupported platforms into audio-only mode.
Microsoft is rolling out three new security features to Teams chats and channel conversations: Weaponizable File Protection, Malicious URL Protection, and the ability to report messages as not a security concern.
Microsoft is rolling out the ability to add multiple SharePoint Agents in Teams group chats, channel conversations, and meeting chats. Responses require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license or a PAYG setup.
Microsoft is rolling out remote log collection for Teams desktop clients on Windows and Mac. Teams admins can now securely collect diagnostic logs without user action, helping streamline troubleshooting.
Microsoft is rolling out an update to how Live Captions and Real-Time Text (RTT) work in Teams for Windows and Mac. To better protect privacy, when transcription is turned off, captions and RTT will now only show the last five minutes of conversation instead of the entire meeting history.
SharePoint Agents are now available in the Teams App Store. Users can access up to 25 recently used agents, add them to chats or channels, and work with SharePoint content directly in Teams.
Teams is introducing Audio Recap in Meetings, a new feature that adds a dedicated “Audio recap” tab in the Teams Meet app for Windows and Mobile. The update extends the existing Copilot audio capabilities by providing quick access to meeting summaries directly within your meetings.
SharePoint Agents can now be added to Microsoft Teams Standard Channels. Users can @mention agents in conversations and receive responses.
Microsoft is updating the Copilot setting in Teams meetings. Until now, Copilot started with transcription turned on by default. With the new setting, Copilot will start without transcription, and organizers must enable transcription manually if they need it for post-meeting insights.
Microsoft Teams is replacing the old Meeting options with a new Organizer Controls icon in the meeting toolbar, giving organizers and co-organizers quicker access to meeting settings and Teams Premium features.
Microsoft is retiring the web-based Share to Teams experience in Outlook. Starting late September 2025, the feature will only work with the Teams desktop app installed. Users without the client will no longer see the standalone web dialog and will be prompted to install Teams instead.
Teams for Windows and Mac is getting an enhanced meeting search experience. Users can now filter by meeting name or participant and take direct actions from search results, such as joining, RSVPing, reviewing recaps, or opening meeting chats, making it faster to discover and follow up on meetings.
The legacy Saved app in Teams Mobile will be retired and replaced with a new, integrated Saved experience. Users can now re-save previously saved messages to make them available in the new experience.
Teams now lets users set UI language, date and time formats independently on Windows and Mac.
Microsoft will remove the legacy Teams calendar, making the new experience the only option with no ability to opt out.
Microsoft is reintroducing a feature that allows users to save Teams messages for easy access later. This capability, previously available in Teams Classic, was removed when New Teams launched.
Teams Virtual Events use SharePoint Embedded containers to store published video recordings. Microsoft has a built-in cleanup logic for these containers. In this post, I explain how the cleanup process works, how to identify these containers, and how Teams admins can disable video publishing if needed.
Some Teams private channels fail to sync permissions with their associated SharePoint sites, leaving members (internal and guest users) without access to the Files tab. Microsoft has acknowledged this as an uncommunicated bug.
A new feature in Teams allows users to join meetings more easily. When a meeting is live, a banner will appear, letting users join directly.
