Friend of Microsoft Teams,</p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Find below
a list of public posts and updates on Microsoft Teams (and Microsoft 365) that
have been published in Week 9 of 2024, February 26 – March 3.</span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Feel free to share with your partners,
customers, colleagues, and peers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Announcement!<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I will try something new in this edition of the
newsletter. I will only be listing the message center posts that are <b>new</b>.
For Teams & Viva this last week we have 42 <b>updated</b> posts but only 5 <b>new</b>
ones. I am worried that the news will get lost in all the updates. For a searchable
record of all message center posts you can check my blog at <a href="https://kressmark.blogspot.com/">https://kressmark.blogspot.com</a> (for
the ones of you that does not have access to a Message Center of your own) and
I know there are several other public sites providing this “service” as well. <br />
<br />
Good change, or bad change according to you? Please let me know by replying to
this mail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For the

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Starting end of February 2024, most All Company
communities in Microsoft Viva Engage tenants and networks in Native Mode
networks will be automatically migrated to the modern All Company experience.
This means that All Company communities will have all the new Viva Engage
community experiences and features. It’s worth noting that this change will
only affect a few Viva Engage networks. Most networks already have the modern
All Company experience. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This adds new features to All Company such as
community customizations, cover photos, and custom naming. Find out more

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We would like to inform you of an upcoming
change that affects how a subset of users post and reply to conversations via
email. The ability to create a new post or reply to an existing post directly
using email will be retired from Viva Engage starting on March 31st, 2024.
Interactive emails in Outlook provide the richest way to stay engaged in Viva
Engage conversations, polls, questions, and praise, without leaving the Outlook
inbox.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Historically, users could create new posts in a
Viva Engage community by sending an email to a specific email address for that
community. Additionally, users can reply to an existing post via an email sent
to that conversation. These flows will stop working. Users must instead utilize
one of the options listed below for their scenario. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If users attempt to post in a community or
reply to an existing community post via email after the feature is disabled,
they will receive an email notification explaining that the feature is no longer
available. All other email related Engage features will remain unaffected.
Community posts will still generate email notifications, and users will still
be able to reply and react to posts using the Viva Engage Web, Mobile, Teams,
and Outlook interactive email experiences. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Retirement will begin in late March 2024 and is
<b>expected to complete by late May 2024</b>. We will not be providing
extensions for continued use of these retired features.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

analytics in Microsoft Viva Engage! By the end of March, users will notice a
new look for analytics on their posts. Conversation analytics will refresh
faster with real-time updates, the expanded set of reactions will show in the
reactions breakdown, and users will be able to filter activity across various
time periods (7 days–12 months). These updates will be available to all
customers with a Microsoft 365 license. Additional capabilities like sentiment
analysis and more detailed engagement breakdowns will be available only to
customers with a Viva Suite or Viva Employee Communications and Communities
license.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Non-Native and Hybrid Yammer Networks will be
upgraded to Native Mode to allow users, groups, and content to be compatible
with and mapped to their counterparts in Azure Active Directory and Microsoft
365. Native Mode also provides other benefits, such as the ability to host Live
Events in every Yammer community and simplify file administration through
SharePoint. Most critically, Native Mode supports eDiscovery through the
Microsoft Purview compliance portal, allowing your organization to collaborate
safely and securely within your Yammer network. 90% of Yammer networks are in
Native Mode today, including our top 10 largest networks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">We will <b>begin migrating networks on December
01, 2022, and continue the upgrades through late December 2024</b> (previously
January). The process will begin with smaller networks. If you prefer to
control the timing of your upgrade, you may initiate the process on your own at
any time by visiting the Microsoft 365 Native Mode page within the Network
Admin pages of Yammer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

recurring lists and several top requests</b> <a href="https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home?ref=MessageCenter/:/messages/MC716664">MC716664</a>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTlHLC1WdFU">task publishing experience</a>
allows frontline organizations to distribute tasks across employees spread
across geographically dispersed locations and then monitor how that work is
going. Task publishing is available in Microsoft Teams as part of the Tasks by
Planner and To Do app, which will soon be renamed to Planner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We're releasing several new task publishing
features based on top customer requests and feedback: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo5;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Recurring task lists. You'll be able to set recurrence on a draft
task list, which will allow you to choose the cadence (such as every month
on the 15th of the month). You can then publish the list and task
publishing will automatically send future tasks. We know this will be a
time saver for distributing repeat tasks across frontline locations.
Common applications are weekly/monthly site inspections and compliance
walks or daily opening and closing tasks.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo5;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Training and policy task lists. You'll be able to create a task
list for each member of a recipient team. When you publish the list and
choose the recipient teams, a copy of the tasks in the list will be
created for and assigned to each member of the recipient teams. This is a
great option for training tasks or tasks where employees must acknowledge
a new policy.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo5;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Form completion requirement. You'll be able to add a form
completion requirement to a task, which allows you to create a Microsoft
Forms survey that must be completed by a member of each recipient team
before that team can complete the task. You can use any Forms question
types, including a question that requires a file upload for employees to
show their work. You'll be able to centrally review the form submissions
across the locations.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo5;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Approval completion requirement. Similarly, you'll be able to add
an approval completion requirement to a task, which means that the task
cannot be approved until an approval of the completed work is requested
and granted. The approval can be requested directly from the task details
by the user completing the task. <o:p></o:p></span></li>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">These features will be enabled as part of the

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Users think about which tasks they need to
complete, such as creating a survey, inside Microsoft Teams. Soon, app
suggestions will be organized by tasks that the apps support as opposed to
conventional categories (productivity, project management). As a result, the
new categorization will reduce the amount of time users need to spend learning
about these apps – helping them to work more effectively. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Scheduling, setting up, and managing an event
is not a simple task. Which is why we allow co-organizer to be added to the
event so they can work alongside or on behalf of the organizer. So far
co-organizers were able to set up event theming, manage registration, meeting options,
view reports and more but were not able to edit event details like title,
date/time, description, event group; nor publish or cancel event. Now they can!
Co-organizer can edit event details, publish, and cancel the event like the
organizer can. So once the co-organizer is added they will have full parity of
experience as organizer and control/manage/edit event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

communicate with each other even when their phones are locked. We integrated
Walkie Talkie in Teams with audio accessories partners to make this experience
possible with the dedicated push-to-talk (PTT) button on headsets, which
instantly brings up walkie talkie for clear and secure voice communication. In
addition to select specialized headsets, we are excited to announce that Walkie
Talkie in Teams will now work with any generic wired (USB-C and 3.5mm) headsets

permission policy and have no custom app permission policies. The app status
from the permission policy and tenant settings will be migrated to preserve the
admin intent. The migration will not affect the end users and their ability to
use the apps. Admins may see the Manage apps page in a read-only mode for a
short time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Phase 2</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> (more details coming soon as a follow up MC
post) affects the tenants that use both global and custom app permission
policies. This phase will let the admin choose to migrate to app centric
management by following a migration process that will change the existing app
permission policies to app assignments in the new app centric model. The admins
will have the choice to modify the apps that are assigned using the custom
permission policies to be accessible to groups, if they want.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">"Turn off copying or forwarding of meeting
chat" is a new meeting option that gives the meeting organizer the option

participants to reduce the risk of data leak. Once this restriction is enabled,
meeting chat participants will not be able to copy chat messages using menu
options or keyboard shortcuts, or forward or share messages to Outlook. There
is also a new Meeting Policy setting in Teams admin center for admin to control
whether users can see or use this feature in the Meeting Options page. Admins
can also set the default value for this meeting option in Meeting Templates
that they create. This meeting capability can also be configured within a

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">For Microsoft Entra and Microsoft Teams, we are
introducing two new resource-specific consent settings (RSC) for teams and
chats to enhance secure app adoption. These settings will affect Chat RSC and
Team RSC for apps in Microsoft Teams. This update also empowers Teams-level
admins to independently manage these settings. Existing Group owner consent
settings and API and the existing Chat RSC API will be retired with this
update. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Content camera support will be available on the
new Teams app experience for Windows and MacOS. Content camera enables remote
attendees to get a clear view of physical objects like whiteboards, printed
documents, books, and more that are in a meeting room. Content camera
intelligently detects, crops and frames the in-room object and shares its
content with remote meeting participants. Even when a presenter moves in front
of it, for example the whiteboard, remote participants will be able to see the
content right through them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">In Microsoft Teams, configuring meeting options
for events like webinars and townhalls required users to be taken to a web page
after the event had been created. In order to optimize the user experience, we
will now allow users to configure meeting options within the Teams app before
event creation. This will provide users with more flexibility.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Currently with town hall, you are unable to
duplicate an event and create a new event based off an existing one. This can
be time consuming if organizers would like to schedule multiple events that are
similar to one another. To simplify event creation Microsoft Teams is introducing
the ability to create a new town hall by duplicating the information for an
existing scheduled one. Information includes a town hall's details, presenters,
theming, and more. The organizer can also choose to edit and update the
information as needed for their new town hall. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

is not a simple task. Which is why we allow co-organizer to be added to the
event so they can work alongside or on behalf of the organizer. So far
co-organizers were able to set up event theming, manage registration, meeting
options, view reports and more but were not able to edit event details like
title, date/time, description, event group; nor publish or cancel event. Now
they can! Co-organizer can edit event details, publish, and cancel the event
like the organizer can. So once the co-organizer is added they will have full
parity of experience as organizer and control/manage/edit event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Use any generic wired (USB-C and 3.5mm) headset
for instant team communication on Android.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Frontline workers often need to instantly
communicate with each other even when their phones are locked. We integrated
Walkie Talkie in Teams with audio accessories partners to make this experience
possible with the dedicated push-to-talk (PTT) button on headsets, which
instantly brings up walkie talkie for clear and secure voice communication. In
addition to select specialized headsets, we are excited to announce that Walkie
Talkie in Teams will now work with any generic wired (USB-C and 3.5mm) headsets
on Android devices. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">As long as the generic headset has a control to
play/pause media or to accept/decline calls, frontline workers can use that
control to start and stop transmissions on walkie talkie. Frontline
organizations will be able to easily start using walkie talkie with these
lower-cost generic headsets.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Currently with webinars, you are unable to
duplicate a webinar and create a new webinar based off an existing one. This
can be time consuming if organizers would like to schedule multiple events that
are similar to one another. To simplify event creation Microsoft Teams is
introducing the ability to create a new webinar by duplicating the information
for an existing scheduled one. Information includes a webinar's details,
presenters, theming, and more. The organizer can also choose to edit and update
the information as needed for their new webinar.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

existing unanswered call settings or sent to voicemail. This new capability
provides more flexibility for handling customer communications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Starting April 2024, Microsoft Teams will be
retiring the ability to load websites inside the new Teams client when using
the Website tab. These website links will open in a new browser tab instead.
This is to better align with emerging best practices in web security and
privacy while also improving the reliability of websites opened through this
feature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Microsoft had previously instituted temporary
capacity increases for Teams live events that were set to expire on December

to 50 simultaneous events, and increasing the Live Event duration from 4 hours
to 16 hours. To ensure administrators have adequate time to train their user
base, we are extending the timeline for these capacity limit increases for
Teams Live Events to <b>now expire on June 30, 2024.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Updated January 19, 2024: Customers in
Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet can safely disregard this message. We
apologize for the inconvenience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">We are transitioning the Stream experience in
the desktop client of Microsoft Teams from Stream (Classic) to Stream (on
SharePoint). Once transitioned the Stream app in Microsoft Teams will display
only Stream (on SharePoint) content--it will no longer display Stream (Classic)
content. The new Stream (on SharePoint) app in Teams will feature similar
content and features as found on the Stream start page.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">The Stream app is currently accessible across
multiple touchpoints on Teams, including the Stream app on Teams left rail,
Stream on Teams message extension, and the Stream Tab on Chats/Channels. You
can find the app by tapping the three dots on the Teams left rail and then
search for Stream. As a first step, Stream app on Teams left rail will be
updated to Stream (on Sharepoint). This updated version of Stream app will
allow users to access the Stream start page within Teams, and quickly find and
watch videos without switching apps. Users will have the option to pin the
Stream app on the side panel for more convenient access in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">In the coming months, we will also transition
the Stream app for Teams web and Teams mobile.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">With the launch of Collaborative Notes, we’re
also improving the shareable link type that is created by Collaborative Notes
to help make meetings more effective and secure. The new Collaborative Notes
file will now support a Specific people link which offers more controlled
access than People in your organization link. This change will automatically
align the Collaborative Notes file link type with customer's default setup.
Customers who previously had Collaborative Notes disabled due to lack of People
in your organization link support can now enable and use the feature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Note: The user will have access to notes if notes
were created after the user was nudged. If notes pre-existed, then the user
must request access.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

when using Office products because of all different routes that they must use

access shared libraries from both their SharePoint and Teams locations. When
the user opens files from shared libraries, these libraries will show up in the
form of a list which will encourage users to save and open files to these
libraries with ease. This helps deliver a more consistent, coherent storage
location experience across M365 apps. This new backstage experience won’t show
up in Teams, SharePoint, or OneDrive but does include storage locations from
OneDrive and Teams (sites/channels) which are stored on SharePoint. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Starting in January 2024, Microsoft Viva Engage
customers will see a new setting to prevent users from moving conversations
into a community. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Community or Engage admins may want to limit
the movement of conversations between communities in the network. The new limit
move conversation feature helps with that goal. When applied, users cannot move
conversations into a community. All users can move conversations out of a
community. Regardless of setting status, admins retain the ability to move a
conversation anywhere in the network.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">The limit move conversation feature is a toggle
on a community’s Settings page. The toggle is available per community.
Community admins can use the toggle for communities they manage. Engage admins
can adjust the setting in any community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">This feature is only available in the community
settings in the Viva Engage web/desktop experience and in Outlook and Teams
apps. Mobile apps and the Classic Engage (Yammer) experiences will not see this
new setting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Networks will begin to see the limit move
conversation feature in community settings starting January 2024. <b>Full

ability to extend their Teams meeting via a pop-out view-only version of the
stage onto the TV screen in BYOD meeting rooms. This mode ensures the meeting
content is always extended to the front of the room for others to see. This
gives the host of the room the peace of mind their desktop is for their viewing
only, giving them the flexibility to multi-task or work privately on their host

due to lack of People in your organization link support can now enable and use

create team at the top level, with channel creation as a per team level option.
Looking at the user behavior here, users end up creating more teams, where it
could have been channels within teams, leading to team proliferation and
difficulty in managing teams. To address this, we are looking to promote
channel creation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">For users to collaborate effectively, they need
to set-up the right collaboration space. Channels being the main hub of
collaboration, we made it easier for users to create channels. With the channel
creation option elevated to the top, users can now create the appropriate
collab space by picking between team or channel. They will be able to host the
channel into a team of their choosing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Microsoft accounts (MSA) using the free version of Microsoft Teams to join and
participate in Teams for work (or school) meetings with their signed-in
personal account when joining meetings from within the Teams app. This feature
also lets these users stay connected with the other meeting participants
(retain access to the meeting chat) after the meeting has ended. These users
are no longer prompted to join only via a browser and later treated as meeting
guests (anonymous). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Microsoft had previously instituted temporary
capacity increases for Teams live events that were set to expire on December
31, 2023. This included increasing the Live Event capacity from 10,000
attendees to up to 20,000 attendees, increasing the concurrency limit from 15
to 50 simultaneous events, and increasing the Live Event duration from 4 hours
to 16 hours. To ensure administrators have adequate time to train their user
base, we are extending the timeline for these capacity limit increases for
Teams Live Events to now expire on June 30, 2024. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

firmware update will move devices from Android device administrator to Android
AOSP management.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We are excited to announce the launch of Viva
Engage community creation API beta endpoint on MS Graph: <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/overview?view=graph-rest-beta">Use
the Microsoft Graph API to work with Viva Engage (preview)</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Some things to note about the API:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It is Microsoft 365 Groups unified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It supports app-delegated (user auth) and
app-only access.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Community creation for an existing Microsoft
365 group is out of scope.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Live Events (Formerly Yammer live events)</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> <a href="https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home?ref=MessageCenter/:/messages/MC699713">MC699713</a>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This is an important message for customers who
use Stream to host live events in Viva Engage (formerly Yammer).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We're reminding you that Stream live events
will be retired on Jan 31, 2024. Microsoft Teams live events, with encoder
support is your new platform to host and run live events.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This message was originally sent on February 9,
2023, and then on August 30, 2023, in the Message Center post MC513603 titled
“Use Microsoft Teams to produce Yammer live events”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Teams live events with encoder support is the
replacement service to Stream live events. Teams live events allow you to
create, host and produce live events with the same functionality that you get
with Stream. It also supports Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) input, which
lets you create highly polished events that feature combined live streams,
screen overlays, on-screen data and more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">You will be able to use Stream live events in
Viva Engage until January 31, 2024, and after that live events must be produced
using Teams live events. In January 2023, the Stream options to produce live
events will be removed from Viva Engage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Just like with Stream live events, there are
two ways in which you can use Teams live events to produce events in Viva
Engage:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Microsoft Teams QuickStart: Use the Microsoft
Teams desktop client to produce your event, generally used in producing simple
events.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Microsoft Teams external app or device: Use
this to produce large-scale events, such an executive town hall, where a single
stream from a media mixer is broadcast to an audience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Once the live event is completed, the video, if
recorded, is stored in the SharePoint library of the community where the event
was produced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Stream live events options <b>will be
removed from your tenant on January 31, 2024.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Viva Engage Community Managers will only be
able to create live events only using the new Teams options. The Stream live
events options will be removed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

to 50 simultaneous events, and increasing the Live Event duration from 4 hours
to 16 hours. To ensure administrators have adequate time to train their user

create team at the top level, with channel creation as a per team level option.
Looking at the user behavior here, users end up creating more teams, where it
could have been channels within teams, leading to team proliferation and difficulty
in managing teams. To address this, we are looking to promote channel creation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is not a simple task. Which is why we allow co-organizer to be added to the
event so they can work alongside or on behalf of the organizer. So far
co-organizers were able to set up event theming, manage registration, meeting
options, view reports and more but were not able to edit event details like
title, date/time, description, event group; nor publish or cancel event. Now
they can! Co-organizer can edit event details, publish, and cancel the event
like the organizer can. So once the co-organizer is added they will have full
parity of experience as organizer and control/manage/edit event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the desktop client of Microsoft Teams from Stream (Classic) to Stream (on
SharePoint). Once transitioned the Stream app in Microsoft Teams will display
only Stream (on SharePoint) content--it will no longer display Stream (Classic)
content. The new Stream (on SharePoint) app in Teams will feature similar
content and features as found on the Stream start page.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Stream app is currently accessible across
multiple touchpoints on Teams, including the Stream app on Teams left rail,
Stream on Teams message extension, and the Stream Tab on Chats/Channels. You
can find the app by tapping the three dots on the Teams left rail and then
search for Stream. As a first step, Stream app on Teams left rail will be
updated to Stream (on Sharepoint). This updated version of Stream app will
allow users to access the Stream start page within Teams, and quickly find and
watch videos without switching apps. Users will have the option to pin the
Stream app on the side panel for more convenient access in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In the coming months, we will also transition

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Viva Engage reactions help users participate in
conversations. Reactions remain one of the most-used engagement features across
customer networks. We’re offering a wider set of reactions in the product, like
other M365 apps, to help everyone express themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The new set adds 24 new icons to the existing
six for a total of 30 reactions in Viva Engage. The current six reactions
(like, love, laugh, celebrate, thank, sad) will see new additions, including
icons to show laughter, support, checkmark confirmation, excitement, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All expanded reactions support the user’s
chosen skin tone for added inclusivity and remain compliant with accessibility
standards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All modern clients, including the browser,
mobile, Outlook, SharePoint (incl. Embed), and Teams Engage experiences will be
updated to use the new reaction set. Classic Engage (Yammer) experiences will
not see the updated icon set, however the new icons are mapped to the old icons
to ensure reaction counts remain the same.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Conversation analytics will show the updated

share links to goals as rich adaptive cards, including progress and status in

clicking away from the message in Microsoft Outlook.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Update December 1, 2023: The Microsoft Teams
change will now be completed by mid-December instead of late November as
previously communicated. Additionally, an issue was discovered with managing
this change using GPO and Intune, with a fix planned for early December. To
manage this change prior to the fix deploying, please use the <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/admincenter/overview-cloud-policy">Cloud
Policy service for Microsoft 365</a> (formerly the Office Cloud Policy
Service).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">The Microsoft Teams desktop app for Windows
will open web links from Teams chats in Microsoft Edge to enable a new web and
chat side-by-side experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">By opening web links in Edge, users will be
able to see those links side-by-side with their Teams chats—web links will open
as new browser tabs and the Teams chats will open next to them in the Edge
sidebar. This new, single-view Teams experience in Edge is designed to minimize
switching between windows and to help users stay in the flow of work while
referencing web links. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

in channel meetings, Teams across Microsoft are coming together to provide
tools that help make meetings more effective. More specifically, we’re
improving how you track what you want to discuss (Agenda), what you
discussed/decided (Notes) and what you need to follow up on (Follow-up Tasks)
in channel meetings. These capabilities are now integrated into the end-to-end
meeting experience in Teams, Loop, Planner, To Do, and OneDrive Commercial.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">With "Voice isolation", you can enjoy
clear and uninterrupted calls or meetings, no matter where you are. This
feature uses AI to filter out all background noise, including other people's
voices. By leveraging your voice profile, this advance noise suppression
capability ensures only the user’s voice is transmitted. Whether you are in a
busy office, a noisy cafe, or a crowded airport, you can communicate with
confidence and clarity. "Voice isolation" is powered by our advanced
deep learning, speech services, and audio processing technology, and it shows
our dedication to solving user problems with AI and enhancing audio quality and
experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We are excited to announce the upcoming
availability of Viva Home, a single web destination for your employees to
access all the Viva apps they are licensed for. With Viva Home, employees can
gain quick access to all Viva apps and learn how to incorporate them into their
everyday work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Labeled as “Viva”, this new page will be
discoverable in the Apps experience at microsoft365.com/apps, as well as in the
Microsoft 365 App Launcher. The new experience provides a centralized location
for Microsoft 365 users to access all their Viva apps such as Connections,
Engage, Insights, Learning, Goals and more on the web. The content displayed on
the page will respect the end-user’s license and service plan assignment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Compared to Viva Connections, Viva Home is the
home for the suite on the web with the goal to provide education,
discoverability, and navigation to various Viva modules. It cannot be
customized. Viva Connections is the company-branded employee experience
destination where employees can access daily tasks, workflows, company news and
resources. Viva Connections is customizable to incorporate company branding,
custom workflows and more.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

in channel meetings, Teams across Microsoft are coming together to provide
tools that help make meetings more effective. More specifically, we’re
improving how you track what you want to discuss (Agenda), what you
discussed/decided (Notes) and what you need to follow up on (Follow-up Tasks)
in channel meetings. These capabilities are now integrated into the end-to-end

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Currently, users experience some frustration
when using Office products because of all different routes that they must use
to access all their content. The Quick Access feature will allow users to
access shared libraries from both their SharePoint and Teams locations. When
the user opens files from shared libraries, these libraries will show up in the
form of a list which will encourage users to save and open files to these
libraries with ease. This helps deliver a more consistent, coherent storage
location experience across M365 apps. This new backstage experience won’t show
up in Teams, SharePoint, or OneDrive but does include storage locations from
OneDrive and Teams (sites/channels) which are stored on SharePoint. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">App centric management introduces new admin
settings to control who in the tenant can install Teams apps. First, admins can
set a default value for new apps that are published to the Teams app store.
Second, admins can manage apps for users, groups, or everyone in the
organization. This feature replaces the existing app permission policies and
provides admins with the ability to manage access to the app individually. The
app permission policies for existing customers are migrated to maintain
existing app availability in the tenant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">This feature will <b>gradually roll out across
three major phases.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><b><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Phase 1</span></b><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;"> (from late November 2023 to early February
2024) affects the tenants that use only the Global app permission policy and
have no custom app permission policies. The app status from the permission
policy and tenant settings will be migrated to preserve the admin intent. The
migration will not affect the end users and their ability to use the apps.
Admins may see the Manage apps page in a read-only mode for a short time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><b><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Phase 2</span></b><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;"> (more details coming soon as a follow up MC
post) affects the tenants that use both global and custom app permission
policies. This phase will let the admin choose to migrate to app centric
management by following a migration process that will change the existing app
permission policies to app assignments in the new app centric model. The admins
will have the choice to modify the apps that are assigned using the custom
permission policies to be accessible to groups, if they want.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><b><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Phase 3</span></b><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;"> (more details coming soon as a follow up MC
post) applies to the tenants that skipped the migration in phase 1 or 2. These
tenants will be migrated automatically in this phase.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Search Analytics reports in the Search & Intelligence Admin Center have
been updated with improved user analytics! We have expanded coverage to almost
all search applications, including Outlook, Teams, and Windows Search! Other
improvements provide deeper insights and filtering capabilities for search
adoption across search applications and user segments like geography,
department, and occupation. The goal is to give you a good insight into
adoption of search and to identify adoption gaps for specific search
applications, geographies, or departments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Scheduling, setting up, and managing an event
is not a simple task. Which is why we allow co-organizer to be added to the
event so they can work alongside or on behalf of the organizer. So far
co-organizers were able to set up event theming, manage registration, meeting
options, view reports and more but were not able to edit event details like
title, date/time, description, event group; nor publish or cancel event. Now
they can! Co-organizer can edit event details, publish, and cancel the event
like the organizer can. So once the co-organizer is added they will have full
parity of experience as organizer and control/manage/edit event. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Updated November 7, 2023: We have updated the
rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Non-Native and Hybrid Yammer Networks will be
upgraded to Native Mode to allow users, groups, and content to be compatible
with and mapped to their counterparts in Azure Active Directory and Microsoft
365. Native Mode also provides other benefits, such as the ability to host Live
Events in every Yammer community and simplify file administration through
SharePoint. Most critically, Native Mode supports eDiscovery through the
Microsoft Purview compliance portal, allowing your organization to collaborate
safely and securely within your Yammer network. 90% of Yammer networks are in
Native Mode today, including our top 10 largest networks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We will begin migrating networks on December
01, 2022 and <b>continue the upgrades through January 2024</b> (previously
October). The process will begin with smaller networks. If you prefer to
control the timing of your upgrade, you may initiate the process on your own at
any time by visiting the Microsoft 365 Native Mode page within the Network
Admin pages of Yammer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="en-SE" style="mso-ansi-language: #0C00;">Cloud IntelliFrame is a new experience that

faces and eliminating distractions. You can see the expressions and gestures of
the people in the room more easily, which will help improve collaboration in
hybrid meetings. It creates equity in hybrid meetings as everyone can be seen
and heard.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Real-Time Analytics feature in the Teams
admin center (TAC) allows IT admins to view their users' meetings and identify
issues related to audio, video, content sharing, and network connectivity. As
an admin, you can use this information to investigate and address any problems
with the meeting experience while the meeting is ongoing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In the current public preview, Real-time
telemetry is only stored for users when administrators explicitly subscribe (go
to user's meeting history and click on specific meeting) to it during ongoing
meetings. This prevents admins from troubleshooting the issue if the meeting is
already over and telemetry is not captured explicitly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">However, with this new update, Real-time
telemetry will be captured and stored by default for all users with Teams
premium licenses, even if admins do not explicitly subscribe to it in the Teams
admin center.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We are announcing the upcoming launch of the
"Ratings and Reviews" feature for apps on Microsoft Teams. This new
addition will empower users to view feedback from customers for apps from
Microsoft and other third-party app publishers. Users can also provide feedback
on apps they've installed, and by default these reviews will be marked as
anonymous. Not only this, but app publishers will also have the capability to
respond to these reviews via the Partner Center, thereby enabling a new mode of
communication between partners and end users. Furthermore, this experience is
powered by Microsoft AppSource's Ratings Service, hence ensuring the
availability of reviews on the AppSource website as well as the Teams client
experience. This feature is part of our continuous effort to enhance user
experience and transparency within the Teams environment. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Soon you’ll be able to further customize the
Connections experience by applying the themes available in SharePoint to
reflect organizational brand colors across desktop, tablet, and mobile.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If you can edit the Connections experience, you
have two ways to use this new feature:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Current process: Editors can change the color
theme by using the 'Change the look' panel under site settings for their home
site. The same color theme will also apply to their Viva Connections experience
on Teams desktop, tablet, and mobile.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">New process: Editors can go to the top right
corner of the Connections desktop app and open the overflow menu. There, they
will find a new option called 'Change the look'. This option lets them choose a
color theme that will impact both the Connections theme and the home site
theme.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Note: This feature will be released along with
or after the tenant has received the refreshed landing experience for Viva

<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">After 13th November 2023, Viva Engage (Yammer)
will no longer support the creation of private messages through email. It will
still be possible for users to post messages to communities through email.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Today, users can create private messages by
emailing user alias+network <a href="mailto:name@yammer.com">name@yammer.com</a>.
This flow will soon stop working. Users must instead go to the Engage app or
browser experience to create private messages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">If users attempt to create a private message by
sending an email after the feature is disabled, they'll receive an email
notification explaining that email creation of private messages is no longer
available. Private messages continue to generate email notifications; users
will still be able to reply and react to private messages in Outlook.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsolistparagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All networks will find that the email to
