(Updated) Deploy new Microsoft Teams with Microsoft 365 apps MC661241 · Published Jul 27, 2023

Updated August 17, 2023: The opt-out control is now available. Thank you for your patience.

Starting in September 2023, we will begin including new Microsoft Teams as part of the new and existing installations of Microsoft 365 apps for Windows depending on the schedule provided in this post. Currently, users can install the new Teams by using the Try the new Teams toggle switch in classic Teams or having administrators bulk deploy directly to the computers in their organization. Read MC533687 and MC617066 for details for earlier announcements for new Teams.

Administrators can exclude installing new Teams from their Microsoft 365 apps deployment if they don't wish to have new Teams included in the installation.

This announcement includes details about the upcoming changes for rolling out the new Teams desktop app with Microsoft 365 apps and details on managing opt-outs. This change is beginning currently for Microsoft 365 Apps for Windows.

We will begin by including the new Teams app as part of new and existing Microsoft 365 app installations on Windows depending on your office update channel and license Type. You will continue to have the classic Teams app included in the installation as well.

Administrators will be able to manage opt-out from this deployment if they do not wish to have new Teams included in the installation. More details in the section below.

 

(Updated) Microsoft EHR Connector: Auto updating public keys for EHR connector enabled virtual visits MC574383 · Published Jun 6, 2023 · Last updated Aug 17, 2023

Updated August 17, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

This feature update will allow Microsoft Teams EHR Connector to automatically supply Epic EHR systems with customer specific public keys for OAuth2 authentication during EHR Connector meeting launches. This differs from the pre-existing workflow where public keys were manually uploaded into Epic. By automating this process, the feature provides reliability and security improvements by allowing more frequent automated rotation of certificates by avoiding manual steps in the rotation process.

Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-June and expect to complete in late June. The preview period will be until late July.

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out late July (previously early July) and expect to complete by late August 2023 (previously early August).
