Ensuring Enhanced Noise Suppression and other advanced features work as expected MC780744 Published Apr 18, 2024

This message is for your information and to ensure the best high audio and video quality experience during Microsoft Teams calls and meetings.

What you can do to prepare:

Please make sure you allow access to the following URL https://aiinfrastructure.static.microsoft/ to all users, as per ID 184 in Microsoft 365 URLs and IP address ranges.

This is especially important for the Noise Suppression feature that is a default experience for all users.

 

Changes to Administrator Permissions Required to Create and Manage Teams Resource Accounts MC780743 Published Apr 18, 2024

This notice is regarding changes coming to the Teams administrator permissions that are used to create Teams Phone Resource Accounts for: Auto Attendants, Call Queues and certified Teams Call Center applications. This change could affect users with “Teams Administrator”, “Teams Communications Administrator” or the “Teams Telephony Administrator” role.

Currently, the underlying Team service’s permission is used to create Resource Accounts in M365. After this change, the ability to create Resource Accounts will leverage the Microsoft 365 admin role’s permission to create user accounts instead of the underlying service’s permission.

The “Teams Administrator”, “Teams Communications Administrator” and “Teams Telephony Administrator” roles will not have user creation permissions so this change may result in disruption in your organization’s ability to create these Resource Accounts.

Organizations that utilize those Teams roles will require Administrators with user creation permission such as Microsoft 365 Global Admin or User Admin to create and manage these Resource Accounts.

We will begin rolling out in mid-July 2024 and expect to complete by late September of 2024. 


Microsoft Teams apps: Updated Live Share SDK to support chat/channel tabs and Collaborative Stageview MC779846 Published Apr 18, 2024

Coming soon: Microsoft Teams apps that use Teams Live Share—a software developer kit for developers to build apps with real-time collaborative features like co-watching, co-creating, and co-editing app content—will soon support tabs pinned to chat and channels and Collaborative Stageview. Before the rollout, the APIs for tabs in chat and channels were only available for apps used during meetings and calls. After the rollout, developers will be able to update apps using the existing Live Share RSC permissions for their meeting extensions to use these APIs for more than meetings.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 389141.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-May 2024 and expect to complete by late May 2024.

Microsoft Teams: Apps now supported in group chats with external users MC779844 Published Apr 18, 2024

Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: We’re delighted to announce the upcoming release of support for apps in group chats with external users from outside your organization, fostering improved collaboration, interactivity, and productivity. This rollout applies to Teams for web, Teams for desktop, and Teams Mobile (Android and iOS).

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 391640.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-May 2024 and expect to complete by late May 2024.
