Announcing Microsoft Teams Premium MC445406 · Published Oct 12, 2022

Today, we are excited to announce Microsoft Teams Premium. Built on the familiar, all-in-one collaboration experience of Microsoft Teams, this new offering makes every meeting from 1:1s to large meetings, to virtual appointments to webinars more personalized, intelligent, and secure. Unlike the disconnected experience and costs of multiple point products or add-ons, with Teams Premium you get advanced meeting solutions you need for just one low price.

As part of the Teams Premium announcement, these existing features will move to Teams Premium when it becomes available in February.

  • Live Translated captions
  • Custom Together mode scenes
  • Timeline markers in Teams meetings recordings (join/leave meetings)
  • Virtual Appointments:
    • SMS notifications
    • Organizational analytics in Admin Center
    • Scheduled queue view

These features will continue to be usable in Teams until Teams Premium becomes generally available in February.  We will share more details prior to Teams Premium public preview in December. Learn more about Teams Premium here: Introducing Microsoft Teams Premium, the better way to meet.

 

(Updated) Disable chat write access for anonymous or unauthenticated users MC392295 · Published Jun 14, 2022 · Last updated Oct 12, 2022

Updated October 12, 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.
