Microsoft Teams: New tenant federation setting to block all subdomains of domains in blocklist MC770792 Published Apr 5, 2024

In Microsoft Teams, we have introduced a new Tenant Federation setting to block all subdomains of domains in the federation Block list. If your organization is using a Block list to protect your users from malicious or other domains, you should enable this new setting to also protect users from all related subdomains without manually adding all subdomains to the Block list. For example, if you have contoso.com on your Block list and enable this setting, the subdomains spam.contoso.com and marketing.contoso.com will also be blocked.

General Availability (Worldwide): We began rolling out mid-March 2024 and completed in early April 2024.

 

Microsoft Teams: Presenter window enhancements while screensharing MC767481 Published Apr 3, 2024

In Microsoft Teams, we are delivering new enhancements to the presenter window that is shown while screensharing.

The presenter window now shows up to four meeting participants (both video and audio), active speakers, raised hands and reactions, and a preview of shared content.

Meeting notifications are surfaced to the central area of the screen for easier awareness and consistent windowing behavior.

These enhancements improve awareness and visibility of what's going on in your meeting and make it easier to engage with other attendees while screensharing.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 383653

Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-May 2024 and expect to complete by late May 2024.
