Loop in Channels: Collaborative Loop components that you love from Teams chats are coming to channels! Users can create, share, and edit components to collaborate synchronously and asynchronously on ideas without leaving the context of their conversation. You can now copy and paste Loop components between channels, chats, Outlook emails, and other supported Microsoft 365 apps. No matter where people are collaborating the Loop, the component will always show the latest updates.

You can create a new Loop component in a Post or Reply by composing a message and clicking "Collaborate with Loop". Loop components created in Teams channels are stored in the channel's SharePoint site allowing people in the channel to access the component and making the component easy to find later. If a component is created and sent within the channel, you can access it in the Files tab. If a component is pasted and sent within the channel, you can access it from within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem (ex. OneDrive, Office.com, etc).

Scope of Release:

  • Loop in Channel will be available in all channel types - standard, private, shared. Users external to an organization will not be able to view or edit the Loop component.
  • We are supporting viewing a Loop in Channels in iOS and iPadOS, but not Android at this time - users will see a link and be able to open in Web. You are able to create Loop components in Channels from Desktop or Web, but not mobile.

Collaborate more easily by creating teams and channels simpler and faster - a simple by default, power when needed experience!

We are making the team create experience simpler by default, but still giving users the advanced options of creating a team from a template or group and choosing the privacy/ sensitivity of the team if they want. To help users create channels within these teams, we are putting "create channel" option at the top. They will be able to host the channel into a default team or a team they select.

Users can now create the right collab space by choosing between team or channel. Overall, users can now set up the right teams or channels from the + button, without having to go to different places or follow multiple steps.

Many of our customers have requested this capability in the past to programmatically create communities instead of creation via Engage UI. We invite you to try this beta endpoint and provide us with feedback.

Some things to note about the API:

It is Microsoft 365 Groups unified.

It supports app-delegated (user auth) and app-only access.

It is limited to networks in Native mode only – legacy and external Yammer networks will not be able to use this API for community creation.

Community creation for an existing Microsoft 365 group is out of scope.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 178311

The Community creation API is now available as MS Graph beta endpoint.
