Microsoft Teams: Simplified App Update Experience MC503298 · Published Jan 26, 2023

Microsoft Teams now maintains an index of all of the apps (and the corresponding versions) a user has consented to. Using this index, an app is automatically updated in real time everywhere it is installed for the user. After the user updates the app in any one context, the updated version is available in all other installed contexts, without any other user action.

Teams in-context Stores MC501986 · Published Jan 25, 2023

The in-context stores are found in menus throughout the Teams experience that let users discover and install apps that support the specific context the user is in. For example, when a user opens the Message extension (ME) in-context store they are shown a selection of apps that have the ME capability. Discovering apps in the in-context Store keeps users in their flows and avoids unnecessary context switching.

We have started rolling this out and will complete rolling out by late March 2023.

 

Microsoft Teams: Automatic lowering of a user's Raised Hand after speaking MC501981 · Published Jan 25, 2023

Updated January 24, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

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.

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.

(Updated) Schedule Send for Teams Chat MC427758 · Published Sep 8, 2022 · Last updated Jan 24, 2023

Updated January 24, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

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.

Meeting Category Trends and Details in the Viva Insights App in Teams and Meeting Category Insights Card in Digest Email MC434658 · Published Sep 19, 2022 · Last updated Jan 24, 2023

Updated January 24, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Categories in Outlook and Teams allow users to easily tag, label, and group calendar events. In the Viva Insights app in Teams, using meeting category insights in the Effective meetings tab, users can see a percentage breakdown of how they are distributing their time across their categories.

An upcoming update to this feature will allow users to:

See how their meeting time distribution has changed over the last 3 months, the last 4 weeks, and the next 4 weeks under meeting trends

View the list of meetings in each category, with details including meeting name, total time spent, duration of each instance, and cadence, under meeting details

We are also releasing a new card in the Digest email from Microsoft Viva that summarizes their meeting category insights. In this card, users will be able to see up to 3 categories in which they have spent the most time over the last 4 weeks. This card will show the percentage of time each category contributed to the user’s total meeting time in the last 4 weeks, as well as how that percentage has changed from the previous 4 weeks. The explore more button provides an easy way to navigate to meeting category insights in the Viva Insights app, where users can explore percentage breakdown, trends, and details.

These features will be available for users who have a Viva Insights subscription.

Microsoft Viva: Praise Highlights in Profile Card in Teams and Outlook MC500903 · Published Jan 24, 2023

Praise in Microsoft Teams is designed to appreciate the effort that goes into the wide-ranging, collaborative work that Teams users do. Users can send praise to their colleagues through the messaging extension pinned to the Teams messaging bar or through the Microsoft Viva Insights app in Teams. For both, admins can use the Microsoft Teams admin center to enable/disable Praise.

With updates coming soon, praises received will be highlighted on a user’s profile card in Teams and Outlook. There are settings available for users that prevent praise highlights from being visible on their profile card.
