Microsoft Teams: Embed support for Teams town hall MC889534 Published Sep 13, 2024

As a part of Team’s ongoing effort to enable our customers to create, manage, and run large scale events, end users can now embed Teams town hall in sites they manage. This capability allows town hall attendees to watch the event instance within a particular website.

Embed for town hall introduces embeddable support for town hall engagement features on release. Attendees will have the same engagement feature access within the embed player as they do in client such as Q&A, Captions, Reactions and more.

To implement embed for town hall, organizers can access their town hall events unique embed code from the town hall scheduling template upon publish. Organizers can then take that code and inject it to their SharePoint or Microsoft 365 site as desired. On event start, attendees will be able to view and engage with the embed stream on the published site.

Microsoft Teams apps and Microsoft Copilot extensions: New security and certification information MC889528 Published Sep 13, 2024

By consolidating information from multiple sources in one place, this feature will provide admins responsible for the Microsoft Teams app and Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 extension deployment with comprehensive security and certification information for faster assessment of compliance with tenant security standards. The information will include outcomes from specific Microsoft 365 certification tests and evidence, as available, submitted by ISVs during Microsoft's audit of their app or Copilot extension. Also, for non-certified apps, admins will receive details on data handling, security, and compliance as self-attested by the ISV.

(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Block a user for your organization MC888879 Published Sep 12, 2024

Updated September 13, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

The availability of the delete API (removeallaccessforuser API) does not stop a malicious user from resending a Microsoft Teams message to the same victim. To help prevent that, a block user feature will allow the admin to block the malicious user from reaching out again. To make this possible, we will use a similar feature as the allow/block list in federation identity credentials to block the malicious user from the entire organization.

Microsoft Teams: Microsoft Mesh app on PC supports guest access for events MC888047 Published Sep 11, 2024

You can now collaborate better by having Microsoft Mesh event attendees join on a PC as a guest user. Event organizers can invite guest users outside their organization, providing an opportunity for broader collaboration and networking in Mesh events. Guests can sign in to the Mesh app to join events, participate in discussions, and experience the same interactive features as internal users, all while maintaining secure access control.

Guest users' creation follows the existing process for tenant guest user creation (outside of Mesh). For this release, guest users will require a Mesh license, just like regular tenant attendees, to collaborate within Mesh.

Guest access for the Mesh app on Meta Quest and support for anonymous participants will be supported in a future update.
