Teams – new message center posts:
Microsoft Teams: In channels, the
"Shared" tab (formerly the "Files" tab) will have new
capabilities MC1025217
Published Mar 7, 2025
Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: In channels,
we will rename the Files tab as the Shared tab to enable users to view content
shared in posts and content in the document library in one place. Note: The
Shared tab in chats will not be affected by this change.
This message applies to Teams for Windows
desktop and Teams for Mac desktop.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365
Roadmap ID 470597.
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out
mid-April 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.
General
Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-May 2025 and expect
to complete by mid-June 2025.
Transitioning from user's OneDrive to
SharePoint for Whiteboards created in Teams Channels MC1024395
Published Mar 5, 2025
We are updating the storage location for
Whiteboards created from the Teams Channel Tab App. Previously, these
whiteboards were saved on the initiator's OneDrive, which caused access issues
due to sharing settings, information barriers, or conditional access policies.
To resolve these issues and align with the behavior of other M365 apps,
whiteboards initiated from the Teams Channel Tab App will now be stored in the
corresponding SharePoint site of the Teams Channel (also known as the channel
site). This change ensures seamless access for all channel members while
adhering to set policies.
We will begin rolling out in early April 2025
and expect to complete by late April 2025.
Microsoft Teams: Updated Microsoft Viva
Engage Communities app for Teams Mobile MC1023485
Published Mar 5, 2025
After this rollout, users will have a new
Microsoft Viva Engage experience in Microsoft Teams for iOS/Android. Creating,
commenting, and reacting to conversations will be easier than before the
rollout.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365
Roadmap ID 475969.
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out
early March 2025 and expect to complete by mid-March 2025.
General Availability: We will begin rolling out
late March 2025 and expect to complete by early April 2025.
Microsoft Teams: Updated retention policy
for meeting attendance reports MC1022529
Published Mar 4, 2025
Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: As part of our
updates to the attendance report service for Teams meetings, we will implement
a one-year retention policy for meeting attendance reports. After this rollout,
all meeting attendance reports will be stored for one year after meeting end
date to align with the Microsoft privacy policy. Before this rollout, meeting
attendance reports did not have a retention policy.
This message applies to Teams on Windows
desktop, Teams on Mac desktop, Teams on the web, and Teams for iOS/Android.
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High,
DoD): Available now.
Attendance reports for events created before
