(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Start a Teams Chat with Distribution Groups, Mail-Enabled Security Groups, and O365 Groups MC408435 · Published Aug 1, 2022 · Last updated Sep 30, 2022

Updated September 29, 2022: We have updated the content below with additional information. Thank you for your patience.

You will now be able to start a Teams Chat with Distribution Groups, Mail-enabled Security Groups, and O365 Groups. This feature will respect the limits on members in a group chat, currently set to 250 members.

Organizations rely on Distribution Lists (DLs) as a tool to create groups of users that mirror organizational knowledge and workflows. Bringing this awareness to target audiences for specific content will enhance the core Teams experience. Allowing our customers to leverage DLs can increase workflow efficiency and bridge the gap between legacy knowledge of organization structure and a new Teams structure.

As remote teams become more common and spread across multiple time zones, Teams is introducing the schedule send feature that allows users to schedule chat messages to be delivered in the future. With this feature, we can help build better work-life balance and support flexible schedules by scheduling chat messages so that they only deliver during our peer’s work hours. Users can schedule messages to be delivered both on desktop and mobile. Additionally, all scheduled messages can be edit and delete before they are delivered.

(Updated) Upgraded usage analytics for Teams administrators and users. MC437554 · Published Sep 23, 2022 · Last updated Sep 27, 2022

Updated September 27, 2022: We have updated this message to show as intended. Thank you for your patience.

As communicated in our earlier message center post (MC343434 March '22), we made updates to Teams related usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center (and corresponding graph APIs) to be more accurate and upgraded. Considering the underlying data source was revamped, it also introduced differences in the usage data reported by Microsoft 365 admin center vs usage data in Teams admin center.

As promised earlier, to bring in consistency across different reporting surfaces, we are updating the Teams admin center usage reports and end user analytics in Teams with same underlying data source as Microsoft 365 Admin Center Teams usage reports.

We apologies for the actual rollout delay than what was planned earlier.

The changes to Microsoft 365 admin center usage reports are already available to all customers as preview.

We’ll be rolling out this change in late September through early October progressively for public and all government cloud customers.

Once this rollout is complete, these refresh changes will be called GA (general availability).
