Enable second video stream with "Teams Content Camera on Desktop" MC532608 · Published 24 Mar 2023

Users will be able to enable a second video stream to support both their Personal Video and Teams Content Camera on Desktop feature.

New Indicator “EA” on Profile Picture for Microsoft Teams Public Preview users MC532194 · Published 23 Mar 2023

Microsoft Teams Public Preview provides early access to pre-release features for product quality, internal planning, adoption & training readiness before they roll out to the rest of their company. There are no program requirements or commitments. This is an opt-in channel controlled via IT admin policy.

Up until today, users who were enrolled in Public Preview had a “P” next to their profile picture, however, that will change to “EA” indicating users have Early Access to Teams features.

This feature is now available for Preview.

 

(Updated) Autosuggest location for Emergency location MC524208 · Published 7 Mar 2023 · Last updated 23 Mar 2023

Updated March 22, 2023: The rollout of this feature is in progress.

This feature would allow users to easily get location recommendations for emergency location. Confirming the location via the autosuggest will mark the location as an assist driving emergency call directly to PSAP. We will still allow manual location confirmations.

General Availability: We will begin rolling out early March and expect to complete by mid-March.

 

(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Force Public Preview Setting MC509574 · Published 31 Jan 2023 · Last updated 23 Mar 2023

Updated March 22, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Teams Public Preview provides early access to pre-release features for product quality, internal planning, adoption & training readiness before they roll out to the rest of their company.

Public preview is enabled on a per-user basis, and the option to turn on Public Preview is controlled via Teams admin policy as described here: Microsoft Teams Public Preview

Today, when admins enable this policy for an end user, that user needs to opt-in via Teams app to get into Public Preview. We are adding a new value named ‘Forced’ for this policy that will allow IT admins to move users to Public Preview without having users to opt-in to Public Preview via Teams app.

We will begin rolling out early March and expect to complete by the late March (previously mid-March).

 

Task publishing: Teams activity feed items for all team members/owners when an urgent task is published to their team MC531736 · Published 22 Mar 2023

What's changing: In response to numerous customer requests, we're improving visibility when an urgent task is published to a Microsoft Teams Team. After this feature is rolled out, when an organization uses the task publishing feature to publish a task with a priority set to Urgent, each member or owner of the team that receives this task will receive a Teams activity feed informing them that an urgent task was published to their team. This will ensure greater visibility for the time-sensitive urgent tasks, such as product recalls that need to be acted upon at multiple locations as soon as possible. This will not affect when a user creates an urgent task in the Planner app for their own team. This change in notification activity is specific to the special task publishing functionality which must be enabled by an admin.

What is task publishing: The task publishing feature is designed for frontline organizations that need work to be completed across distinct locations (such as stores, clinics, factories, branches). Task publishing allows business leaders to centrally define a set of tasks to be completed and distribute a copy of those tasks to tens, hundreds, or thousands of teams across your organization. Frontline organizations can also monitor the status of the work during execution. Visit the task publishing documentation to see a video overview of the feature. You can also view the instructions to set up task publishing for more information.

(Updated) Teams update: Expanded view of the profile card in Teams MC494734 · Published 5 Jan 2023 · Last updated 21 Mar 2023

Updated March 21, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Beginning in March, users in your organization will be able to use expanded views of the profile card in Teams. The expanded view is already available in Outlook and includes more information, like an overview of the profile, contact information, organizational chart, and LinkedIn tab.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 109526.

Microsoft Teams: Change Call Queue and Auto Attendant Greetings and Announcements by Authorized Users MC527929 · Published 15 Mar 2023 · Last updated 21 Mar 2023

Updated March 21, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Changing business conditions often require adjustments to call queue/auto attendant greetings and announcements. However, it can be difficult to identify the right Teams admin to make these changes, and addressing high request volumes can be time-consuming for the responsible admins. With the introduction of user managed CQ/AA greetings for Teams Phone, authorized users (as identified by Teams tenant admins) can change greetings and announcements for their respective call queues and auto attendant directly from the user’s Teams settings, in the “Calls” settings. To implement this capability, tenant admins must select permissible greetings/announcement changes for a voice policy, and then authorize specific users in the Teams Admin Center.

Preview: We will begin rolling out in mid-April (previously late March) and expect to complete rollout by early May (previously early April).

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out in mid-May (previously mid-April) and expect to complete rollout by early June (previously late April).
