(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Automatically end stale Teams meetings MC399073 · Published Jul 9, 2022 · Last updated Nov 24, 2022

Updated November 23, 2022: Based on learnings from our early rings, we have made the decision to make additional changes before we proceed with the rollout. We will deliver a new Message center post once we re-start the rollout. Thank you for your patience. 

Microsoft Teams is enabled with a new feature that will allow meetings to automatically end if they're identified as stale. If a user is the sole participant in a meeting 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting end time has passed, then a dialog will appear in the call prompting them to end the call or dismiss the notification. If no action is taken on the dialog within 3 minutes, the meeting will automatically end.

If there is more than 1 user on the call and/or the scheduled meeting end time has not passed yet, then the feature will not trigger.

If the user dismisses the notification, they will not see it again for the same meeting, and it will not be at risk to automatically end anymore.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 96710

We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed.

 

Introducing OneNote viewer in Teams mobile apps MC469578 · Published Nov 22, 2022

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 103097

Standard Release: We expect to begin rolling out the OneNote viewer starting early December 2022 and complete the rollout by late January 2023.

 

(Updated) Announcing Payments in Microsoft Teams MC445767 · Published Oct 13, 2022 · Last updated Nov 21, 2022

Updated November 21, 2022: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

(Updated) Graph API for Teams Meetings Transcripts MC400569 · Published Jul 14, 2022 · Last updated Nov 18, 2022

Updated November 18, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

New org-wide application permissions and RSC application permissions have been introduced to make sure that apps can access meeting transcripts for a specific meeting. Resource specific consent (RSC) permissions, specifically enables admins to authorize users to provide consent to apps, so they get specific access to a Teams meeting’s transcripts to which it is installed to, rather than providing them access across the entire tenant.

This message is specifically associated with post-meeting transcripts access for apps - Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 95788 that allows authorized apps to access Teams Meetings transcripts once the meeting is over.

When you are in gallery view, and there are more videos than what can be shown at once on the meeting stage (the maximum number can vary depending on your device configuration, internet bandwidth and whether content is being shared), navigation controls will appear to see additional videos of the attendees.

New Teams Policy setting to control access to "Suggest a Feature" menu MC467247 · Published Nov 15, 2022

We are adding a new parameter to the csTeamsFeedbackPolicy called EnableFeatureSuggestions which will allow Teams admins to hide/show the Help | Suggest a Feature menu.

The value stored in the M365 policy “Allow the use of additional optional connected experiences in Office” will be copied into a new Teams policy parameter in csTeamsFeedbackPolicy called EnableFeatureSuggestions. If this value in M365 was never set in the past, then the new policy parameter EnableFeatureSuggestions will be set to True.

After that, the value of EnableFeatureSuggestions will be used to show/hide the Help | Suggest a Feature menu.

When a deck is presented via PowerPoint Live in a Microsoft Teams meeting, all meeting attendees can use the Magnify Slide feature to privately zoom into the presentation while maintaining full fidelity of the slide content.

The initial roll out of Magnify slide in PowerPoint Live will only be available for Microsoft Teams Desktop.

There are multiple ways to use this feature in a Teams Meeting using PPT Live:

Updated November 9, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

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.

Targeted Release (if applicable): We will begin rolling out early October and expect to complete by late January 2023 (previously late October 2022).

Standard Release (if applicable): We will begin rolling out late January 2023 and expect to complete by late March 2023 (previously late January 2023).
