Microsoft Teams: Geo filtering for Teams apps MC525662 · Published Mar 10, 2023

Microsoft Teams App Developers will soon be able to target applications to select geographies (countries/regions) via partner center. Developers, at times, build applications that are only relevant in a few countries or regions for operational reasons or for adhering to different compliance requirements across countries & regions. Once this change rolls out, Microsoft Teams app users will only be able to see apps that are applicable for their country or region.

License Management capabilities for Independent Software Vendors’ (ISV) SaaS Apps in Microsoft Teams MC525151 · Published Mar 9, 2023

To help streamline the license management experience, we are now offering ISVs the choice to enable Microsoft Teams License Management for their transactable SaaS offers at time of publishing, and for these offers, Teams customers will be able to manage their subscriptions and assign licenses directly in Teams.

Microsoft Teams License Management for ISV SaaS offers will be accessible in two ways –

In Teams Client App Store, via the Manage Apps section, the user can view their app subscription and view/assign and unassign licenses.

In Teams Admin Center, via the “Manage Apps” section, Admins can view their Apps and view/assign and unassign licenses. They can also assign licenses from the Subscriptions list view.

With this feature, Teams Admins and users can view all their subscription License allocations in one place, to manage assignments. Assignments can be done for single or multiple users or a team, with a single click.

(Updated) Virtual Appointment as a new Teams Meeting Template MC488588 · Published Dec 20, 2022 · Last updated Mar 7, 2023

Updated March 7, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

A new Teams Meeting Template, Virtual Appointment, will be added as a new template type accessible from the 'New meeting' dropdown menu in the Teams Calendar. This is a free experience that brings enhanced business-to-consumer meeting features into the lightweight and familiar Teams scheduling experience. When meeting with someone from outside of your organization, the Virtual Appointment meeting can be used to ensure the person you are meeting with has a seamless experience with the meeting from start to finish - all without having to learn new tools or leave the standard scheduling flow.

Users can use the Virtual Appointment template instead of a standard Teams meeting for meetings with external users. They can select the meeting type, fill out the tailored scheduling form, including external guests and meeting details, and then send the meeting. The external guests invited will receive a customized meeting invitation that includes key appointment details and a quick-join button, which allows users to join the meeting from anywhere - without downloading Teams - and enter a pre-appointment waiting room before the meeting begins. This provides a familiar experience to internal users and makes external user join a seamless experience.

Trunk demoting logic based on SIP Options MC524209 · Published Mar 7, 2023

A new feature based on SIP Options is introduced for trunk health. When enabled in the gateway configuration (see Set-CsOnlinePSTNGateway cmdlet and SendSipOptions parameter), the routing logic for outbound calls demotes trunks that don't send SIP Options periodically (expected period is one SIP Option sent by the SBC per minute) to the Microsoft backend. These demoted trunks are put to the end of trunks list available for the outbound call and are tried last, which potentially decreases the call setup time.

 

Autosuggest location for Emergency location MC524208 · Published Mar 7, 2023

This feature would allow users to easily get location recommendations for emergency location. Confirming the location via the autosuggest will mark the location as an assist driving emergency call directly to PSAP. We will still allow manual location confirmations.
