September has been an eventful month filled with exciting news and announcements. Before we dive into the new product features released this month, we want to address feedback we’ve heard from you regarding the performance of Microsoft Teams and share some of the investments we’re making to improve it.
Teams performance update
Organizations of all types and sizes depend on Teams to keep their users connected and productive throughout the work and school day. As we drive new capabilities to meet our customer’s evolving needs, we’re also working to ensure they have a high-performance experience that scales across their devices and levels of internet connectivity.
We’ve recently doubled down on Teams performance with improvements you can experience now and we'll continue to update you on future improvements as part of this monthly blog.
Offline support in desktop Limited network connectivity is a reality for many of our users around the world. In March, we launched the ability to run the desktop client on Windows and macOS in environments with limited bandwidth or without a network connection. This was accomplished through caching of data and code, and we also adopted a local fetch approach over network requests which led to improved launch times of the desktop client. Now we’re working on allowing users to author messages even when offline and have them automatically sent when network connectivity is reestablished.
Improved desktop launch time As users start their meetings, classes, and days in Teams, it’s essential they can get things running quickly. We’re rolling out multiple updates to improve the launch time of our desktop clients on Windows and macOS. This includes deferring non-essential operations until after launch, optimized code delivery flows and service side optimizations like migrating services infrastructure to Azure Front Door. In our testing these investments resulted in a 30% reduction in application launch time.
Video rendering optimizations in desktop With more users working and learning from home, video is a critical way to connect with others. However, video rich features can also raise the average workload of device CPUs and GPUs. To address this, we’re adjusting how much compute power is used during video calls and meetings by reducing animations, blending layers, and simplifying the overall experience. We are also making changes to video rendering, the UI overlays composite on top of the video, and hardware drivers. These improvements are rolling out now to our desktop clients on Windows and macOS with more updates coming soon.
Battery life optimizations in iOS Staying connected through Teams on a mobile device is essential for Firstline Workers and those away from their desktops throughout the day. To reduce the Teams app battery consumption in iOS, we ’ve moved a significant amount of background processing to our cloud services and reduced the frequency of syncing static information. In our testing this resulted in close to 40% improvement in background battery life consumption. You can experience these improvements today using the latest version of the Teams app for iOS.
Low bandwidth optimizations for Android Lastly, we’re optimizing the Teams app on Android for low bandwidth environments. This includes reducing message sync latencies while increasing messaging reliability by optimizing background conversation syncs and database access patterns. We also improved the network quality detection logic that enables scenarios such as file uploads to intelligently balance between reliability and performance based on the available bandwidth. These enhancements are available in the latest version of the Teams app for Android.
What’s new in Microsoft Teams in September? Last week at Ignite, we announced many new features coming to soon to Microsoft Teams. Be sure to have a look at What’s New in Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Ignite 2020 for a recap of the news and read on to see features that have started rolling out in September.
What’s New: Meetings & Calling Large Gallery view - see up to 49 participants Large Gallery is providing a new way to view video up to 49 participants at once on a single screen (7x7). This feature rolled out to production with the new multi-window experience. In order to take advantage of this new view, users will need to turn on the new multi-window meeting experience.
Together mode Together mode uses AI segmentation technology in meetings to digitally place participants in a shared background, making it feel like you’re sitting in the same room with everyone else. Last week at Ignite, we announced new Together mode scenes are coming later this calendar year.
New Teams meeting pre-join experience We’ve improved the pre-join meeting experience for Teams meetings including easier discovery of audio, video, and device configurations before joining a meeting.
Reverse Number Lookup Enhancements In October 2019, we released Reverse Number Lookup to make it easier to identify the caller. Now with these latest enhancements, the caller name will also show up in your activity feed, call history, and voicemail.
Safe Transfer Safe Transfer allows you to transfer a call between Teams and Skype for Business with confidence. If the recipient doesn’t answer the call, it will ring back to you so don’t lose the call. You must be a Teams user to transfer a call and the recipient must be either a Teams or Skype for Business user in the same tenant or in a federated tenant.
New Teams meeting and calling offers This month we announced three promotional offers to help you experience the best of what Microsoft Teams can offer in meetings and calling. For eligible customers, these include free Audio Conferencing, a 35% discount on Advanced Communications, and FastTrack support to help you move from Skype for Business to Teams in a cost-effective manner. Learn more about these offers.

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, app version 4.6.20.0 now available The latest app for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, version 4.6.20.0, is now available through the Windows Store. Features enabled through this update include:
Live captions: Meeting participants joining from a Teams Room can now view live captions turned in a Teams meeting. In-room participants can also turn live captions on or off from the center of room console. Captions will appear at the bottom of the meeting experience shown on the front of room display.
3x3 gallery view: Meeting participants can now view up to nine participants in the meeting gallery view, shown on the front of room display.
Direct Guest Join with Zoom Rooms (Preview): Teams Rooms and Zoom Room devices can now connect to each other’s meeting services via embedded web technologies. This will reduce the friction you experience when trying to join calls from external partners or clients who may not be using the same meeting service.
Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android, app version 1.0.94.2020062501 now available The latest app for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android, version 1.0.94.2020062501, is now available through the Teams Admin Center. Features enabled through this update include:
Pin video: Now you can pin the video stream of a meeting participant from the Teams Rooms device, keeping the pinned user's video visible in the gallery. This “pinned view” is only applied to the gallery view in the meeting room and not to other meeting participant's views.
Support for structured meeting role and roster controls: Allows meeting organizers to assign meeting roles (presenter and attendee) from the Teams Rooms experience, enabling participants to take specific actions associated with those roles (e.g. mute participants, present content, etc.)
What’s New: Chat & Collaboration Reflect messaging extension Managers, leaders or teachers now have an easy way to check in with how their team or students are feeling -- either in general, or about a specific topic like work-life balance, the status of a project, current events, or a change within the organization. IT administrators can install the Reflect extension from GitHub and make it available to their users in the message extension menu.
Microsoft Lists in Teams We recently announced the general availability of the Lists app in Teams for all our commercial and Government Community Cloud (GCC) customers. Microsoft Lists help track information and organize work. Lists are simple, smart, and flexible, and help teams stay on top of what matters most. And now you can create a list directly in Teams as a channel tab.
Microsoft Whiteboard updates Microsoft Whiteboard is integrated within every Teams meeting, enabling meeting participants to join in with touch—or their mouse—and contribute with digital ink. We recently added the ability to add sticky notes and text to a canvas, making it easier to contribute if you’re using a device without a digital pen, and added the ability to move and re-order objects on the canvas through a simple drag and drop gesture. Learn more here.
What’s New: Teams for Education “Only Me” Admin Policy for all Organizer Meeting Options IT Admins can apply a policy that defaults “Only Me” to allow only educators (or the meeting organizer) to enter the meeting and keep students in the lobby until the educator admits them. This helps maintain student safety and contains student to student interaction in class to the right time when the educator is present. Learn more about this and other recommended Teams for Education policies here.
What’s New: Firstline Workers Walkie Talkie Android Walkie Talkie is a push-to-talk experience that enables instant and secure voice communication over the cloud, turning your personal- or company-owned Android smartphones and tablets into a walkie-talkie. It reduces the number of devices you need to have while providing clear communication free of radio interference, static and no distance limitations in range. Learn more.
Integration between Teams and RealWear Through an integration between Teams and RealWear head-mounted devices, you, as a field worker can remain 100% hands-free using a voice-controlled user interface while maintaining situational awareness in loud and hazardous environments. Learn more here.
Shifts Connector in Power Automate With the new Power Automate Shifts connector you can automate processes within the Shifts application. As a manager you can be more efficient and save time with schedule management and by auto-approving shifts all at once. With these new templates, team members can view all Shifts in the calendar of choice (such as Outlook), and can be empowered to create Shifts templates of their own to meet the needs of your business. These features can be enabled in the Power Platform directory. Learn more here.
What’s New: Government These features currently available to Microsoft’s commercial customers in multi-tenant cloud environments are now rolling out to our customers in US Government Community Cloud (GCC), US Government Community Cloud High (GCC-High), and/or United States Department of Defense (DoD).
New experience for launching instant channel meetings for GCC Meet Now buttons in Teams channels have a new home. You will soon find them in the Channel header where you can easily find and launch the meeting.
Custom Apps and Sideloading in GCC Sideloading and custom (line-of-business) apps are now available in GCC. GCC tenant administrators can decide whether to upload a custom app to their tenant environment and publish it to their tenant app catalog. To learn more, read our technical documentation here.
What’s New: Power Platform and custom development Microsoft Graph API for change notifications The Microsoft Graph API for change notifications allows developers to build apps that messages in near-real time, without polling, to enable scenarios such as data loss prevention (DLP), enterprise information archiving, and bots that listen to messages that they aren't @mentioned on. This helps both customers and ISVs to enable DLP scenario implementations to remain secure and compliant. Learn more at our detailed developer blog post here.
Teams membership Microsoft Graph APIs Team Membership APIs allow your app to list, add, change, and remove Team members and their roles. Learn more about how to utilize this API here.
Private Channels Microsoft Graph APIs With the Private Channels Microsoft Graph APIs we enable apps to create and manage private channels. Developers will be able to add, update, remove, members of a private channel and be able to create a private channel on behalf of a user.
What’s New: Management, security, and compliance New meeting lobby configuration setting available for PowerShell and Teams Admin Center A new lobby type option is coming to PowerShell and Teams Admin Center that allows tenant administrators to assign a user-level policy to send everybody but the Teams meeting organizer into the meeting lobby. Once assigned, all meeting attendees--including those from within the same organization--will be sent to the meeting lobby to be admitted by the organizer.
Screen share from chat policy governance Screen share from chat allows you to immediately start sharing your screen in a one-to-one or group chat. This entry point was previously governed by the AllowPrivateCalling policy. If this policy was disabled, users weren’t able to screen share from chat. This will now be governed by the ScreenSharingMode policy.
Advanced eDiscovery: Supporting modern attachments from SharePoint Online Advanced eDiscovery can now automatically collect documents from a storage location, such as SharePoint or OneDrive, to pull the content into an eDiscovery case. The attachments are collected, reviewed, and exported along with the Teams conversations so IT or relevant stakeholders don’t need to manually find and collect the documents one by one.
Microsoft Information Protection: Data loss prevention for Microsoft Teams Data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities in Microsoft 365 government clouds will be extended to include Microsoft Teams chat and channel messages, including private channel messages. If your organization has DLP, you can now define policies that prevent people from sharing sensitive information in a Microsoft Teams channel or chat session.
I am using Teams with high school students in a busy hyflex (some online and in person students). I have created a link to a meeting that I want to keep consistent for the term. (i.e. no reoccurring meetings in the calendar) Is there a way for only me to start a meeting without using the lobby feature? I don't want them to be able to start the meeting without me yet don't not want to have to admit them one by one through the lobby as it is disruptive to the lesson with students coming in and out? Looking through current Meeting Options. It seems it is either use the lobby or allow them to be able to start the call before me?
Microsoft_Teams_team thank you for continuing the tradition of totally ignoring questions about the Mac client, as exemplified in UserVoice where Mac audio was expected by Q2, then Q3, and still hasn't happened, nor has any update.
Bartolomo We expected customizable Praise badges to have been generally available by now but it's looking like mid-October. We'll check in next week and keep you updated. Thanks for the call out!
Updates are fine. But please address the old pending issue of "Microsoft Whiteboard" compatibility on Microsoft teams. It is quite frustrating that the Whiteboard can never be shared during an ongoing meeting. Really depressing it is.
Is there a way to check if the Video rendering optimizations in desktop is live for our Tenant? We're having a lot of users that have their CPU's (and fans) going through the roof when on meetings.
I'm confused, the blog says that customizable Praise badges became available in September however in the roadmap that feature is still under development. I sure don't have it on my tenant yet.
What also came in with this update is a bug concerning mic gain adjustments and external mics like Yeti Nano. Mic gain is reduced to 0, which makes external mics useless. Hope this will be fixed soon ...
Please stop Teams asking every time a call is ended!!! Extremely irritating!

September has been an eventful month filled with exciting news and announcements. Before we dive into the new product features released this month, we want to address feedback we’ve heard from you regarding the performance of Microsoft Teams and share some of the investments we’re making to improve it.
\n
Teams performance update
\n
Organizations of all types and sizes depend on Teams to keep their users connected and productive throughout the work and school day. As we drive new capabilities to meet our customer’s evolving needs, we’re also working to ensure they have a high-performance experience that scales across their devices and levels of internet connectivity.
\n
We’ve recently doubled down on Teams performance with improvements you can experience now and we'll continue to update you on future improvements as part of this monthly blog.
\n
Offline support in desktop Limited network connectivity is a reality for many of our users around the world. In March, we launched the ability to run the desktop client on Windows and macOS in environments with limited bandwidth or without a network connection. This was accomplished through caching of data and code, and we also adopted a local fetch approach over network requests which led to improved launch times of the desktop client. Now we’re working on allowing users to author messages even when offline and have them automatically sent when network connectivity is reestablished.
\n
Improved desktop launch time As users start their meetings, classes, and days in Teams, it’s essential they can get things running quickly. We’re rolling out multiple updates to improve the launch time of our desktop clients on Windows and macOS. This includes deferring non-essential operations until after launch, optimized code delivery flows and service side optimizations like migrating services infrastructure to Azure Front Door. In our testing these investments resulted in a 30% reduction in application launch time.
\n
Video rendering optimizations in desktop With more users working and learning from home, video is a critical way to connect with others. However, video rich features can also raise the average workload of device CPUs and GPUs. To address this, we’re adjusting how much compute power is used during video calls and meetings by reducing animations, blending layers, and simplifying the overall experience. We are also making changes to video rendering, the UI overlays composite on top of the video, and hardware drivers. These improvements are rolling out now to our desktop clients on Windows and macOS with more updates coming soon.
\n
Battery life optimizations in iOS Staying connected through Teams on a mobile device is essential for Firstline Workers and those away from their desktops throughout the day. To reduce the Teams app battery consumption in iOS, we ’ve moved a significant amount of background processing to our cloud services and reduced the frequency of syncing static information. In our testing this resulted in close to 40% improvement in background battery life consumption. You can experience these improvements today using the latest version of the Teams app for iOS.
\n
Low bandwidth optimizations for Android Lastly, we’re optimizing the Teams app on Android for low bandwidth environments. This includes reducing message sync latencies while increasing messaging reliability by optimizing background conversation syncs and database access patterns. We also improved the network quality detection logic that enables scenarios such as file uploads to intelligently balance between reliability and performance based on the available bandwidth. These enhancements are available in the latest version of the Teams app for Android.
\n
\n
What’s new in Microsoft Teams in September? Last week at Ignite, we announced many new features coming to soon to Microsoft Teams. Be sure to have a look at What’s New in Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Ignite 2020 for a recap of the news and read on to see features that have started rolling out in September.
\n

This feature rolled out to production with the new multi-window experience. In order to take advantage of this new view, users will need to turn on the new multi-window meeting experience.
\n
\n
\n
Together mode Together mode uses AI segmentation technology in meetings to digitally place participants in a shared background, making it feel like you’re sitting in the same room with everyone else. Last week at Ignite, we announced new Together mode scenes are coming later this calendar year.
\n
\n
\n
New Teams meeting pre-join experience We’ve improved the pre-join meeting experience for Teams meetings including easier discovery of audio, video, and device configurations before joining a meeting.
\n
Reverse Number Lookup Enhancements In October 2019, we released Reverse Number Lookup to make it easier to identify the caller. Now with these latest enhancements, the caller name will also show up in your activity feed, call history, and voicemail.
\n
Safe Transfer Safe Transfer allows you to transfer a call between Teams and Skype for Business with confidence. If the recipient doesn’t answer the call, it will ring back to you so don’t lose the call. You must be a Teams user to transfer a call and the recipient must be either a Teams or Skype for Business user in the same tenant or in a federated tenant.
\n
New Teams meeting and calling offers This month we announced three promotional offers to help you experience the best of what Microsoft Teams can offer in meetings and calling.

And now you can create a list directly in Teams as a channel tab.
\n
\n
\n
Microsoft Whiteboard updates Microsoft Whiteboard is integrated within every Teams meeting, enabling meeting participants to join in with touch—or their mouse—and contribute with digital ink. We recently added the ability to add sticky notes and text to a canvas, making it easier to contribute if you’re using a device without a digital pen, and added the ability to move and re-order objects on the canvas through a simple drag and drop gesture. Learn more here.
\n
\n
What’s New: Teams for Education “Only Me” Admin Policy for all Organizer Meeting Options IT Admins can apply a policy that defaults “Only Me” to allow only educators (or the meeting organizer) to enter the meeting and keep students in the lobby until the educator admits them. This helps maintain student safety and contains student to student interaction in class to the right time when the educator is present. Learn more about this and other recommended Teams for Education policies here.
What’s New: Firstline Workers Walkie Talkie Android Walkie Talkie is a push-to-talk experience that enables instant and secure voice communication over the cloud, turning your personal- or company-owned Android smartphones and tablets into a walkie-talkie.

These features can be enabled in the Power Platform directory. Learn more here.
\n
\n
\n
\n
What’s New: Government These features currently available to Microsoft’s commercial customers in multi-tenant cloud environments are now rolling out to our customers in US Government Community Cloud (GCC), US Government Community Cloud High (GCC-High), and/or United States Department of Defense (DoD).
\n
New experience for launching instant channel meetings for GCC Meet Now buttons in Teams channels have a new home. You will soon find them in the Channel header where you can easily find and launch the meeting.
\n
Custom Apps and Sideloading in GCC Sideloading and custom (line-of-business) apps are now available in GCC. GCC tenant administrators can decide whether to upload a custom app to their tenant environment and publish it to their tenant app catalog. To learn more, read our technical documentation here.
\n
\n
What’s New: Power Platform and custom development Microsoft Graph API for change notifications The Microsoft Graph API for change notifications allows developers to build apps that messages in near-real time, without polling, to enable scenarios such as data loss prevention (DLP), enterprise information archiving, and bots that listen to messages that they aren't @mentioned on. This helps both customers and ISVs to enable DLP scenario implementations to remain secure and compliant. Learn more at our detailed developer blog post here.
\n
Teams membership Microsoft Graph APIs Team Membership APIs allow your app to list, add, change, and remove Team members and their roles. Learn more about how to utilize this API here.

Once assigned, all meeting attendees--including those from within the same organization--will be sent to the meeting lobby to be admitted by the organizer.
\n
Screen share from chat policy governance Screen share from chat allows you to immediately start sharing your screen in a one-to-one or group chat. This entry point was previously governed by the AllowPrivateCalling policy. If this policy was disabled, users weren’t able to screen share from chat. This will now be governed by the ScreenSharingMode policy.
\n
Advanced eDiscovery: Supporting modern attachments from SharePoint Online Advanced eDiscovery can now automatically collect documents from a storage location, such as SharePoint or OneDrive, to pull the content into an eDiscovery case. The attachments are collected, reviewed, and exported along with the Teams conversations so IT or relevant stakeholders don’t need to manually find and collect the documents one by one.
\n
Microsoft Information Protection: Data loss prevention for Microsoft Teams Data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities in Microsoft 365 government clouds will be extended to include Microsoft Teams chat and channel messages, including private channel messages. If your organization has DLP, you can now define policies that prevent people from sharing sensitive information in a Microsoft Teams channel or chat session.

Screen share from chat policy governance Screen share from chat allows you to immediately start sharing your screen in a one-to-one or group chat. This entry point was previously governed by the AllowPrivateCalling policy. If this policy was disabled, users weren’t able to screen share from chat. This will now be governed by the ScreenSharingMode policy.
\n
Advanced eDiscovery: Supporting modern attachments from SharePoint Online Advanced eDiscovery can now automatically collect documents from a storage location, such as SharePoint or OneDrive, to pull the content into an eDiscovery case. The attachments are collected, reviewed, and exported along with the Teams conversations so IT or relevant stakeholders don’t need to manually find and collect the documents one by one.
\n
Microsoft Information Protection: Data loss prevention for Microsoft Teams Data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities in Microsoft 365 government clouds will be extended to include Microsoft Teams chat and channel messages, including private channel messages. If your organization has DLP, you can now define policies that prevent people from sharing sensitive information in a Microsoft Teams channel or chat session.

1. Schedule new meeting and invite one persons more.
2. Join to that meeting as first one.
3. Check if you have recording available
4. Leave the meeting (still others has not joined)
5. Join to the meeting again
6. Check if you have recording available
The recording seems to be not available when joining the first time.

I am using Teams with high school students in a busy hyflex (some online and in person students). I have created a link to a meeting that I want to keep consistent for the term. (i.e. no reoccurring meetings in the calendar) Is there a way for only me to start a meeting without using the lobby feature? I don't want them to be able to start the meeting without me yet don't not want to have to admit them one by one through the lobby as it is disruptive to the lesson with students coming in and out? Looking through current Meeting Options. It seems it is either use the lobby or allow them to be able to start the call before me?
