Microsoft Viva Connections: New News feature in Microsoft Teams MC1020218 Published Feb 28, 2025

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 472018.

This message applies to Viva Connections in Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for iOS/Android, and Teams for the web, with this exception: This rollout will also include a Microsoft 365 Copilot-powered summary experience initially available only in Teams for Windows desktop. Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed users will have an additional option to generate a Copilot summary of the top 10 (or fewer) items in a user's News feed. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this summarization feature in the news feed.

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early March 2025 and expect to complete by mid-March 2025.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out late March 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.

Due to the nature of rollout technology across various platforms, some users may see the new experience sooner than others or in one platform first before the others.

 

Microsoft Teams: Record video clips in channels MC1020203 Published Feb 28, 2025

Coming soon: Users will be able to record video clips in Microsoft Teams channels, just like users can in Teams chat.

Users can record themselves, their screen, or audio-only clips and send them in a channel as a new post or a reply. Recording in channels respects the same Video messages policy as recording in chat. As an admin, if you have already enabled or disabled this policy for recording in chat, we will respect it for recording in channels too.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): Available now, since early 2025.

General Availability (GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early March 2025 and expect to complete by mid-March 2025.

For Teams Room customers who are moving to the Intune Company Portal version 5.0.6152 or above through firmware updates or app-only updates have to ensure that Device Administrator (DA) privilege is enabled in their Microsoft Intune Portal.

This has been called out as a known issue: Known issues with Teams Rooms on Android

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in mid-March 2025 and expect to complete by late March 2025.

 

Microsoft Skype interoperability with Microsoft Teams will retire MC1019985 Published Feb 28, 2025

Microsoft Teams: Facilitator agent takes notes in meetings and chats MC1017117 Published Feb 26, 2025

Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: The Facilitator agent can take notes during your Teams meetings and chats. The Facilitator synthesizes key information from the conversations, so users can catch up quickly. In meetings, the Facilitator allows everyone to co-author real-time notes and collaborate seamlessly. In chat, the Facilitator creates and maintains an up-to-date summary of important information as the conversation happens, including key decisions, actions items, and open questions to resolve.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 478611.

We introduced the Targeted Release preview of this feature in MC937709 (Updated) Facilitator in Teams Meetings and Chats (published and updated November 2024).

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, Teams for the web, and Teams for iOS/Android.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.

Microsoft Teams: Client health dashboards in Teams admin center MC1015900 Published Feb 25, 2025

IT Administrators can now monitor the health of Microsoft Teams desktop clients for Windows and Mac through the new ‘Teams client health’ page in the Teams admin center.
