(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Proactive Monitoring of Meeting Quality Using Real-time Telemetry (Premium) MC669479 · Published Aug 21, 2023 · Last updated Sep 6, 2023

Updated September 6, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

The Real-Time Analytics feature in the Teams admin center allows 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. Currently, the troubleshooting process for admins is manual and requires continuous admin involvement. The admin or engineer must search for a user, access their call history, identify ongoing meetings or live events they are participating in, and then search for the specific information needed to troubleshoot issues. However, with the introduction of Proactive Monitoring Notifications for In-Progress meetings, admins can efficiently monitor multiple meetings simultaneously for important users in their organization. This functionality enables admins to monitor audio, video, and app-sharing experiences based on various parameters and receive alerts if there are any issues with a user's meeting experience.

This feature is part of the Teams premium add-on SKU. All admins will see the feature within the Teams admin center, but for users to be configured and enabled for monitoring notifications they are required to have a Teams Premium license assigned for this feature to work.

To provide a unified workflow experience within Microsoft Teams we will be merging the existing Workflows app with the Power Automate app. With this merger the Power Automate app will be changing its name to "Workflows".

Whether you have existing workflows in the Power Automate app or the Workflows app your workflows will persist in the new unified app. Users will still be able to configure new workflows through the various app entry points (tab, bot, message extension, message action, personal app).

We are updating Microsoft Default setting to Team Owners and Members for Teams Tag Management settings in Teams Admin Center.

If you have not made changes to Tag Management settings, Microsoft Default settings will apply for your tenant. Microsoft Default settings currently map to "Team Owners" value but this update will change it to "Team Owners and Members".

As Admin, please set tag management settings to reflect tenant-level preference. Select “Team Owners” to keep tag management limited to Team Owners, or select “Team owners and members” to allow all team members to create and edit tags.

In Teams client, users will still see the same options as they do today: "Team Owners" and "Team owners and members".
