Virtual Appointment as a new Teams Meeting Template MC488588 · Published Dec 20, 2022

A new Teams Meeting Template, Virtual Appointment, will be added as a new template type accessible from the 'New meeting' dropdown menu in the Teams Calendar. This is a free experience that brings enhanced business-to-consumer meeting features into the lightweight and familiar Teams scheduling experience. When meeting with someone from outside of your organization, the Virtual Appointment meeting can be used to ensure the person you are meeting with has a seamless experience with the meeting from start to finish - all without having to learn new tools or leave the standard scheduling flow.

Users can use the Virtual Appointment template instead of a standard Teams meeting for meetings with external users. They can select the meeting type, fill out the tailored scheduling form, including external guests and meeting details, and then send the meeting. The external guests invited will receive a customized meeting invitation that includes key appointment details and a quick-join button, which allows users to join the meeting from anywhere - without downloading Teams - and enter a pre-appointment waiting room before the meeting begins. This provides a familiar experience to internal users and makes external user join a seamless experience.

Updated December 15, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Users will now get a more comprehensive view into whether calls were transferred or forwarded in Microsoft Teams' call history.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 98455

General Availability: We will begin rollout in mid-October (previously late September) and expect rollout to be completed by late October (previously mid-October).

Government Clouds: Rollout will begin in late October and is expected to be completed by mid-January 2023 (previously early December).

 

Fixing timestamp format in Teams meeting Transcripts files MC485792 · Published Dec 15, 2022

We will be rolling out a fix to update the timestamp format in .docx and .vtt Teams meeting transcript files to follow the WebVTT timestamp standard. More specifically, the current timestamp, for example, 0:0:0.0 --> 0:0:1.890, will be updated to 00:00:0.0 --> 00:00:1.890 after this fix gets rolled out.

Note: If your organization does not have a dependency on the timestamp of .docx or .vtt transcript files you can safely disregard this message.

We will begin rolling this out in mid-January and expect to complete by the end of January.

 

Microsoft Teams: Mention Everyone in chat MC485628 · Published Dec 15, 2022

Similar to how users mention individuals in chat, users will now have the option for “Everyone” within their options for mentions. After typing @, users will see the same people results they see today, but a new option, “Everyone” will be available. By selecting Everyone and sending the message, a notification will be sent to all users in the group chat based on their selected notification settings. Users can adjust how they are notified within their Teams notification settings.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 101573

We will begin rolling out in late January and expect to complete rollout to desktop, iOS and Android in late February 2023.

 

General availability - Receive all chats messages in all scopes MC485096 · Published Dec 14, 2022

The resource-specific consent (RSC) permissions model for receiving all message, originally developed for Microsoft Teams Graph APIs, is being extended to bot scenarios. This feature was available for the channel scope and now is being extended to chat scope.  With RSC, conversation owners can consent for a bot to receive all user messages in standard channels and chats without being @mentioned.

This change is related to Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 100883

Available now

 

(Updated) Graph API for Teams Meetings Transcripts MC400569 · Published Jul 14, 2022 · Last updated Dec 13, 2022

Updated December 13, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

New org-wide application permissions and RSC application permissions have been introduced to make sure that apps can access meeting transcripts for a specific meeting. Resource specific consent (RSC) permissions, specifically enables admins to authorize users to provide consent to apps, so they get specific access to a Teams meeting’s transcripts to which it is installed to, rather than providing them access across the entire tenant.

This message is specifically associated with post-meeting transcripts access for apps - Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 95788 that allows authorized apps to access Teams Meetings transcripts once the meeting is over.

This API will be published to beta in end of July 2022 and to GA in late February (previously mid-January 2023)

 

(Updated) Export feature in Teams Admin Center MC337332 · Published Feb 28, 2022 · Last updated Dec 12, 2022

Updated December 12, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Teams admin center is adding support for downloading the data from the list pages like teams list page, members list page, channels list page and users list page. The downloaded data will be in the form of a CSV file. Admins can click on the “Export” icon placed on the table headers in these pages to generate the data and download the CSV from the downloads section in the header of the Teams admin center.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 85704

We will begin rolling this out in early March and expect to complete the rollout by late January (previously late November).

Updated December 09, 2022: Due to an issue with admin controls in TAC that we are actively working on fixing, please refer to the PowerShell documentation to control the setting for enabling or disabling delete chat capability. Link: Set-CsTeamsMessagingPolicy

Users will be able to delete 1:1 chats, group chats, and meeting chats if they are a participant in Microsoft Teams. This permanently deletes the chat only for the user, other people in the chat and conversation history are not impacted.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 90723

We will begin rolling out in early December and expect to complete rollout by mid-December.

 

Microsoft Teams: Meeting Toolbar Usability Improvements MC482567 · Published Dec 10, 2022

(Updated) Disable chat write access for anonymous or unauthenticated users MC392295 · Published Jun 14, 2022 · Last updated Dec 8, 2022

Updated December 8, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Financial institutions consider chat messages as a form of data exfiltration, so it's imperative for IT admins to gain flexibility and control over chat access for anonymous or unauthenticated users. The latter may be expected to join Teams meetings, but they should be restricted from seeing and accessing any type of electronic communication on chat. This feature provides additional security by only disabling chat write access for non-federated users and unauthenticated users who join Teams meetings through a link, so it must be used in conjunction with disabled meeting chat policy applied to financial advisors to remain compliant.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 91142

Standard: early June through mid-July 2022

GCC: late July through mid-August 2022

GCC High: late August through late November 2022 (previously early September 2022)

Add people to a group chat from compose box via @ mention MC481196 · Published Dec 6, 2022

Teams Chat is for fast-paced communication, and we want to ensure nothing gets in the way. Pull in via @mention provides a short cut to the add-dialog saving you time from realizing the person isn’t already in the chat and navigating (2-clicks) to the add-dialog manually.  Users can now add someone to a group chat directly from the compose box via @ mention.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 96212.

(Updated) PowerPoint Live in Teams: Magnify Slide MC452198 · Published Oct 28, 2022 · Last updated Dec 5, 2022

December 5, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

When a deck is presented via PowerPoint Live in a Microsoft Teams meeting, all meeting attendees can use the Magnify Slide feature to privately zoom into the presentation while maintaining full fidelity of the slide content. When a meeting attendee magnifies a slide, it doesn’t change how the presenter or the other meeting attendees view the slides. The “Sync to presenter” button will also appear, which allows the meeting attendee to resume following the presenter. When the meeting presenter uses the Magnify Slide feature, the zoomed in presentation content is displayed to all meeting attendees to see and follow along. The initial roll out of Magnify slide in PowerPoint Live will only be available for Microsoft Teams Desktop.

There are multiple ways to use this feature in a Teams Meeting using PPT Live:

  • Use the +/- buttons in the (…) menu
  • Use Plus or Minus keys or Shift + Plus or Shift + Minus key on the keyboard (Ensure keyboard focus is on the PowerPoint Live slideshow area)
  • Pinch or stretch on the track pad while hovering over the slide
  • Pinch or stretch on the slide using a touch screen enabled device
  • Use Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll while hovering over the slide

Viva Connections Toolbox displaying store apps MC482569 · Published Dec 10, 2022

In the current Viva Connections environment: for users to acquire more Cards to their Dashboard, they need use the “Add an app” under Settings and Dashboard Edit Page, but it does not include Viva Connections Apps provided by Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).
