Upgrading Teams webinar users to new version MC762511 Published Mar 30, 2024

In February 2023, Microsoft Teams introduced a new robust way to create Webinars for all its users. The new webinar experience now allows for more powerful and controlled registration, additional email capabilities, smooth external presenter capabilities, access control, and so much more! Customers have shown great appreciation for the improvements we've made in the new webinar experience. Given that most of our Teams webinars users are now on this next version of webinars, we have decided to replace our existing feature of ‘Adding registrations to meetings” (for regular Teams meetings) with the new Webinar Experience.

We will be removing the “add registrations to meeting” feature from new meeting dialog box by June 30th, 2024. Users that want to use this feature will be directed to the new webinar ‘create’ experience.

Teams Admins will not be able to assign the “-AllowMeetingRegistration” to any new users.

Teams users that already have this policy will not be able to create any new ‘meetings with registration’ post June 30th, 2024.

If Direct Media Connection is on, we will try not to include a relay or media processor between the participants in meetings and calls. (Infrequently, if end points are not compatible with setting up a direct connection, we use a relay or media processor.)

Microsoft Viva Learning: Disable LinkedIn Learning premium content MC740508 Published Mar 15, 2024

We are rolling out a feature for admins to turn off LinkedIn Learning premium content in Microsoft Viva Learning for all users in their tenant. (LinkedIn Learning premium content is on by default in Viva Learning for all tenants.)

Viva Learning | New language settings for admins and users MC740505 Published Mar 15, 2024

Viva Learning is rolling out new language settings so Learning admins and users can personalize Viva Learning with their preferred language.

Available languages setting in the Viva Learning admin page

Knowledge admins / Learning admins can now define a specific set of languages that they support for learning in their tenant in the Available languages setting in Language preferences tab in the Viva Learning admin page. Please refer to Language preferences in Viva Learning | Microsoft Learn for guidelines on choosing supported languages and to learn about the impacted features. We advise minimizing changes to the Available languages setting for an optimal user learning experience.

User Language option in Settings Menu in Viva Learning

Users will be able to personalize Viva Learning by choosing their preferred language in the Viva Learning app settings. User Language settings will show the language options chosen by admins in the Available languages setting in the Viva Learning admin tab. User language settings will persist across all Viva Learning experiences: changes to user language in the Viva Learning Teams app will reflect in Viva Learning for the web and vice versa.
