Microsoft Teams: Change Teams Meeting add-in to install in a new directory MC799210 Published Jun 6, 2024

To prevent the classic Microsoft Teams uninstallation from removing the Teams Meeting add-in (TMA) files deployed on a machine during installation, admins must install the Teams Meeting add-in into a different directory than the directory used for a classic Teams installation. If a user manually installs the Teams Meeting add-in with Microsoft Installer (MSI) and specifies the same installation directory used by classic Teams, the TMA files might be removed when classic Teams is uninstalled. Typically, it is only necessary to specify the installation directory for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) installations.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): Available now, starting with the release of new Teams on April 9, 2024.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 380671.

General Availability (Worldwide and GCC): We will begin rolling out early July 2024 and expect to complete by mid-July 2024.

General Availability (GCC High): We will begin rolling out mid-August and expect to complete by late August 2024.

Microsoft Viva: A new feature to manage users in Viva Engage (View-only mode) MC799633 Published Jun 7, 2024

Starting in July 2024, customers will see a new setting in the Viva Engage admin center to place individual users on view-only mode. View-only mode removes a user’s edit and create privileges across your Engage tenant.

Network, Engage, and Global admins can add or remove a user from view-only mode. The feature is in the Engage admin center under the Governance and Compliance tab. All admin activity related to adding and removing users from view-only mode in captured in Engage audit events within M365 audit logs.

In view-only mode, users cannot create or edit any content in Engage, including new communities, posts, comments and replies, and reactions. Once in view-only mode, the user will see an information banner in all Engage surfaces (web/browser, Teams and Outlook apps, mobile apps, SharePoint).

Users retain access to all available content in the network and receive notifications and digests. Content from the user remains visible to others in the network.

A user’s view-only status is not shared with anyone else in the network, aside from admins. The feature does not send any notifications to the user; customers own all internal communication around the use of the feature.

Admins can put any user in their network on view-only mode, including guest users. View-only mode applies per user per network. Access to SharePoint sites and files in Engage is not affected by view-only mode.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 395690.

General Availability: We will begin rolling out early July 2024 and expect to complete by late August 2024.
