Microsoft Teams: New Layouts Available in the View Only Experience MC538746 · Published 8 Apr 2023

Currently, the layouts available for attendees who join using the view-only experience (which is available to attendees who join after the meeting capacity has been reached) in Microsoft Teams are limited to a single screen that only shows the content shared or a single video showing the active speaker if no content is shared. This same layout limitation exists when you utilize the Custom Streaming app or the Workplace Live app in Teams to broadcast your meeting.

With this change, we will be updating the layouts that an attendee in the view-only experience would see and the layouts that are produced by the Customer Streaming app or the Workplace Live app. We will be supporting the following new layouts:

  • Up to 9 videos on stage at one time in a 3x3 fashion (with no content being shared)
  • Side-by-side layout when the content is shared (up to 7 videos will be shown at a time with content)

We will begin rolling out in late April and expect to complete rollout by early May.

 

Collaborative Meeting Notes MC538385 · Published 6 Apr 2023

Teams across Microsoft are coming together to provide tools that help make meetings more effective. More specifically, we’re improving how you track what you want to discuss (Agenda), what you discussed/decided (Notes) and what you need to follow up on (Follow-up Tasks). These capabilities are now integrated into the end-to-end meeting experience in Teams, Loop, Planner, To Do, Office.com and OneDrive for Business.

Teams Rooms: Windows 11 support for Teams Rooms on Windows devices MC537412 · Published 5 Apr 2023

Teams Rooms on Windows devices that are eligible for Windows 11 upgrade will receive the Windows 11 22H2 release in May 2023. This will be offered and installed on their devices with 4.16 dot release (a newer release than 4.16.40.0 currently available). Devices that are not eligible due to an incompatible processor will continue to use Windows 10 per Windows hardware support policy. These devices will be offered Windows 10 22H2 release.

Devices that cannot upgrade to Windows 11 will continue to be supported until the end of Windows 10 End of servicing for General Availability Channel or hardware support from OEM, whichever comes first. Windows 10 releases information at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/release-information. Please note, not all Windows releases are supported for Teams Rooms, to find supported version, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/rooms/rooms-lifecycle-support#windows-10-release-support.

In addition, Teams Rooms on Windows OEMs will shift their manufacturing to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise as Windows 10 IoT Enterprise end of license sales is fast approaching (10/14/2023). OEMs with existing Windows 10 licenses inventory (or to support recovery media for existing Windows 10 based devices) may continue to provide Windows 10 based images for some time that should automatically update to Windows 11 post setup. All OEMs are expected to move to Windows 11 IoT Enterprise based images in future. Customers should ensure all new hardware purchases check for Windows 11 compatibility to future proof their device investment.

Changes in Normalization MC536885 · Published 4 Apr 2023

Stopping normalization on number that starts with plus sign (+)

Normalization in Microsoft Teams was not designed to do normalization when the phone number starts with plus sign (+) as documented, but we've never enforced this in the Teams desktop or Web client. We are planning to enforce this in the future but for now we recommend avoiding this pattern.

We are making this change to align with our Calling Service, other Teams services, Azure Communication Services SDKs, and other Microsoft services. Numbers that start with a plus sign (+) will not pass through any normalization rules.

Translated numbers that do not start with a plus sign (+), will pass through normalization rules more than once. Please see :https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/create-and-manage-dial-plans for more information

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out mid-July and expect to complete by late August.

 

Chat RSC in Microsoft Teams MC536877 · Published 4 Apr 2023

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out late April and expect to complete by late May.

(Updated) Take Action on Meeting Category Insights in the Viva Insights app in Teams and on the web MC516906 · Published 17 Feb 2023 · Last updated 6 Apr 2023

Updated April 6, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Categories in Outlook and Teams allow users to easily tag and label calendar events. Users can get insights on the time they spend per meeting category in the Viva Insights app in Teams. Using meeting category insights, they can see how their meeting time is distributed (percentage breakdown), how that has changed (meeting trends), and details about each of their meetings contributing to their categories (meeting details). An upcoming update to this feature will allow users to take actions on these meetings to align their time spent in meetings with their goals. These actions include viewing/editing meeting invites, cancelling, declining, and categorizing/recategorizing.
