What's New in Microsoft Teams | August - September 2026
A quick note before we get into it: What's New in Teams is shifting from a monthly to a quarterly rhythm. You'll hear from us next in December, March, and June, and each edition will round up everything announced and released over the full quarter. One post, one fuller view of what's new. Two investments shape where Teams is heading, and you'll see both in this quarter's releases: AI transforming teamwork with agents as part of the team, and a simpler, smarter, more secure foundation underneath it all. AI in Teams is showing up in the flow of your work. Teams Phone Agent brings that to your phone line, helping callers with common requests in more than 60 languages and routing them with context attached, so a missed call turns into a next step instead of a lost one. Context carries forward, too. Video recap turns a meeting you missed into a short, narrated highlight reel, so what a meeting decided outlasts the conversation itself. And protection for everyday collaboration is always top of mind. The new Security Detection Report brings detections such as impersonation and malicious URLs into one view in the Teams admin center, so admins see the whole picture in one place. Read on for all the latest updates!

Security Detection Report in Teams admin center A new Security Detection Report in the Teams admin center gives admins a unified view of messaging security detections across signals such as impersonation, malicious URLs, and weaponizable file types.

Single-character keyboard shortcuts for focused message actions (Windows) Single-character shortcuts let you quickly take common messaging actions such as edit, delete, reply, forward, pin, save, mark unread, quote reply, and react when a message has keyboard focus.

Coding where context lives and collaboration happens The best prompt may be the conversation your team has already had or is currently having. Until now, using a coding agent often meant paying context and coordination taxes. Developers had to leave the discussion, open another tool, and reconstruct the problem in a lengthy prompt: what happened, what the team decided, which constraints matter, and what needs to be built. With GitHub Copilot in Teams, teams can move directly from conversation to action. @mention GitHub Copilot when the team is ready to act, and it can use the conversation alongside repository context to understand the request, implement the change, and create a pull request for review. This makes working with a coding agent more collaborative and visible. Instead of one developer privately reconstructing the request, teammates can contribute context, correct assumptions, refine the approach in real time, and review the resulting work together. Let’s explore the new GitHub Copilot in Teams experience to see how it can streamline development tasks: If the player doesn’t load, open the video in a new window: Open video GitHub Copilot in Teams is available in Teams channels, group chats, meeting chats, and 1:1 chats. Once the GitHub app is installed and added to the conversation, @-mention GitHub Copilot to bring it into the discussion and start a task. During public preview, users can complete the following scenarios with GitHub Copilot in Teams: Build a feature based on requirements discussed in Teams Implement a fix for a bug Expand test coverage or improve documentation Create and update a pull request No copying the discussion into a CLI. No rewriting it in a desktop app. No asking one developer to translate a team decision into the perfect prompt. GitHub Copilot works where the context already lives, and because that context is shared, working with GitHub Copilot becomes a team activity. Built around the controls teams already use GitHub Copilot in Teams works within existing GitHub permissions and repository policies. Branch protections and required reviews continue to apply, and people remain responsible for deciding what gets merged, ensuring that humans stay in the loop at every step. Availability GitHub Copilot in Teams is now available in Public Preview. To try it, install the GitHub app for Microsoft Teams and check out our documentation to get started! Less context reconstruction. More progress from the conversations already happening.Turn meetings into momentum with Microsoft 365 Copilot
Most people don't need more meetings—they need meetings that lead to action. At their best, meetings drive decisions and keep work moving forward. But poorly managed meetings can actually slow progress. In fact, our Work Trend Index report found that inefficient meetings are the biggest productivity disruptor at work. Common challenges include staying on track, catching up after joining late, and leaving without clear next steps. Microsoft 365 Copilot helps teams get more out of every meeting—from spending less time preparing to having more productive discussions and staying aligned on follow-up. The impact can be significant. Microsoft commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study on Microsoft 365 Copilot in Teams. The study, New Technology: The Projected Total Economic Impact™ Of Microsoft Teams With Microsoft 365 Copilot, projects that companies could realize a potential ROI of 400% over three years. Here are some of the latest Microsoft 365 Copilot innovations designed to make meetings and collaboration more effective. Before the meeting: Plan and prepare faster Planning a meeting often means juggling calendars, drafting agendas, and gathering context before the conversation even begins. Copilot helps simplify every step. Scheduling is often the first hurdle. In Copilot Chat, you can simply ask Copilot to set up a meeting, and it handles the coordination—checking availability, suggesting times, and preparing the invite details. It also shows how each option fits into your Outlook calendar, making it easy to choose the best one. Copilot can also help manage scheduling conflicts proactively. Users can define which 1:1 meetings and personal events are flexible, and when conflicts arise, Copilot can automatically reschedule them and notify attendees of any changes. Every productive meeting starts with a clear objective. Copilot can create a personalized agenda based on meeting details, attendees, and relevant work. It can also recommend topics from your emails, chats, and recent meetings, giving you a strong starting point that you can easily review and refine before sending the invite. To help you arrive prepared, Copilot can proactively generate meeting insights directly in the invite. It surfaces relevant context, highlights important information, and suggests useful materials so you can contribute from the start. During the meeting: Turn discussions into action Great meetings stay focused, encourage participation, and lead to clear outcomes. Facilitator works alongside your team in real time to answer questions, track agenda progress, capture notes, and turn conversations into shared tasks and documents. For a more personal experience, Copilot gives you a private space to ask questions and get answers grounded in the meeting, your work, and the web. The best conversations happen when everyone can participate naturally. Interpreter provides real time speech-to-speech translation, helping teams communicate across languages without breaking the flow of conversation. Live translated captions make it easy for everyone to follow along. After the meeting: Keep work moving forward The real value of a meeting often comes from what happens next. Copilot helps ensure important decisions and action items don't get lost once the meeting ends. Meeting recap provides AI-generated notes, suggested action items, and personalized highlights, making it easy to catch up on what matters most. It also gives you new ways to revisit the conversation, including audio and video recaps and custom AI summary templates, so you can stay informed in the format that works best for you. After the meeting, Copilot remains available to help you follow up, explore ideas, and keep work moving forward. The Meeting Recaps app brings your intelligent recaps together in one convenient, pinned app in the Teams sidebar, making it easier to find and catch up across your meetings. Get more out of every meeting Microsoft 365 Copilot customers can start using Copilot in Outlook and Teams today to manage the mechanics of meetings before, during, and after—so they can spend more time moving work forward.
