(Updated) General Availability of Direct Routing Phone Number Inventory MC985472 Published Jan 22, 2025

Updated January 23, 2025: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.

We are excited to announce the public release of Direct Routing (DR) Inventory for all Microsoft Teams Phone customers. This feature allows you to manage both assigned and unassigned DR phone numbers within Microsoft Teams Phone Number management. It simplifies managing and assigning DR phone numbers via Teams PowerShell cmdlet. The feature is also current in preview in Teams Admin Center and will be released to all customers in mid-February 2025.

This new feature introduces a change in behavior for unassigned Direct Routing phone numbers in Teams Phone Number management. When unassigned, a Direct Routing phone number will no longer be removed from the Teams telephone number management storage. If for any reason you do not wish to keep the Direct Routing phone numbers in Microsoft's Teams telephone number management storage, please use New-CsOnlineTelephoneNumberReleaseOrder to release the unassigned Direct Routing phone numbers.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We have already rolled out the feature and available for use via Teams PowerShell cmdlets.

 

Microsoft Teams: Enhanced compliance and security in voicemail messages MC987329 Published Jan 24, 2025

We are pleased to inform you that we will roll out two improvements to enhance compliance and security for voicemail messages in Microsoft Exchange.

This change is related to three products: Microsoft Teams calls, Microsoft Outlook/Exchange, and Microsoft Skype for Business calls. Results will be visible in Outlook/Exchange email messages.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We began rolling out early December 2024 and expect to complete by late January 2025.

General Availability (GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early January 2025 and expect to complete by mid-February 2025.


Microsoft Teams: Additional work information in people search results MC985484 Published Jan 22, 2025

Multi-tenant organization (MTO) users will be able to see additional work information in people search results. With this feature, MTO users will be able to see the company name and department name of a user in people search results, helping users to make sure they are communicating with the right people.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early February 2025 and expect to complete by late February 2025.

 

Microsoft Teams: More predictable recording experience with Who keeps recording MC985482 Published Jan 22, 2025

We will be adding a new in-product message to display the recording owner's information. This feature is especially important to our users when the person who starts the recording is different from the recording owner, participants will be able to reach out to the correct recording owner as needed.

General availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early March 2025 and expect to complete by late March 2025.
