Teams user/device usage report and Graph API data source change MC437554 · Published Sep 23, 2022

As communicated in our earlier message center post (MC343434 March '22), we made updates to Teams related usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center (and corresponding graph APIs) to be more accurate and upgraded. Considering the underlying data source was revamped, it also introduced differences in the usage data reported by Microsoft 365 admin center vs usage data in Teams admin center.

As promised earlier, to bring in consistency across different reporting surfaces, we are updating the Teams admin center usage reports and end user analytics in Teams with same underlying data source as Microsoft 365 Admin Center Teams usage reports.

We apologies for the actual rollout delay than what was planned earlier.

The changes to Microsoft 365 admin center usage reports are already available to all customers as preview.

We’ll be rolling out this change in late September through early October progressively for public and all government cloud customers.

Once this rollout is complete, these refresh changes will be called GA (general availability).
