Microsoft Teams: The Discover Feed will only be shown to users with more than five channels MC1066160 Published May 1, 2025

We will update how the Discover Feed appears in Microsoft Teams to ensure it’s helpful and relevant for every user. After this rollout, the feed will be shown to users who are part of more than five channels (including hidden channels). This change will help to ensure the Discover Feed includes meaningful updates and conversations and avoids showing an empty or low-activity feed. As always, we’re continuing to evolve the Teams experience based on user feedback and engagement.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, and Teams for the web.

General Availability (Worldwide): We began rolling out mid-April 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.

 

Microsoft Teams: Customize your keyboard shortcuts MC1066158 Published May 1, 2025

Users will have the capability to customize their keyboard shortcuts in Microsoft Teams. This feature update empowers users to modify existing shortcuts and assign a key combination of their preference. Through the keyboard shortcuts dialog, users can easily customize their shortcuts by selecting a shortcut, entering a new key combination, and saving the changes. This enhancement enables users to choose their preferred keys for frequently used shortcuts, thereby eliminating the necessity to remember the default key combinations. This feature is designed to enhance user efficiency and streamline workflow by providing a more personalized experience.

Live captions copying disabled for Teams meetings MC1065053 Published Apr 29, 2025

We’re rolling out a small update to help enhance meeting content protection in Microsoft Teams. To better support organizations with compliance and privacy needs, Live Captions will now be view-only during meetings. This means you can continue to follow along with captions in real time - but without the ability to copy text directly from the caption pane. This change helps prevent sensitive meeting content from being copied and shared unintentionally — especially now that captions can be scrolled to view the full meeting conversation. It adds an extra layer of content protection for organizations that need to manage information shared during live meetings.

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-June 2025 and expect to complete by late June 2025.

General Availability (GCCH, DoD): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025.

General Availability (Gallatin): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025.

Coming soon: Sensitivity labels for Microsoft Loop components in Microsoft Teams messages: Users will be able to set, apply, and view sensitivity labels to classify and protect content in Loop components shared in messages, based on its sensitivity level. These labels help organizations comply with data privacy and security regulations by managing and protecting sensitive data, restricting access to authorized personnel only. The sensitivity labels enforce policies such as encryption, access control, and content marking to ensure appropriate handling of sensitive information.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, Teams for the web, and Teams for iOS/Android.
