Microsoft Teams Takes Center Stage at the 2026 Microsoft 365 Community Conference
Microsoft Teams is where people, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and agents come together to collaborate, communicate, and get work done—before, during, and after every interaction. Contributing to and benefiting from Work IQ, Copilot in Teams understands the context, relationships, and signals behind real work, bringing meetings, calling, chat, and collaboration into a single, connected experience across Microsoft 365. At the 2026 Microsoft 365 Community Conference, Teams will be front and center with a broad set of sessions that reflect how teamwork is evolving. From everyday collaboration and meetings to frontline communications, external collaboration, and Copilot‑powered workflows, Teams is designed to help organizations move work forward with clarity and confidence.

Why is my create file from OneDrive for Business node isn't working?
I have a power automate cloud flow that, in some point, gets a word .docx from my sharepoint site, then it creates the same document in onedrive so that I can convert it to PDF then returns it to sharepoint. This idea came from the necessity of converting a .docx to .pdf without the need of premium conectors. I have 2 scenarios: 1° Scenario: Flow: I get the data from the word that I need > I create the same file on OneDrive > I convert the file to .pdf > then I create the file on Sharepoint. Problem: When I run my flow, it gets a 404 error: "message": "File Not Found\r\nclientRequestId: y-f695-48b1-9556-xc\r\nserviceRequestId: x-e051-b000-efc3-y" Error image: 2° Scenario: Flow: The same as the above, the only thing I did after research, is that the node that I get content from file from my sharepoint site also returns the "$content-type", so I specified that for the create file from OneDrive I'll only want the "$content" attribute. In resume, it creates the file in onedrive but I can't open it, it appears to be corrupted, at first I thought my sharepoint file was also broken, but then I could open it with no errors as on OneDrive. Problem: When I run my flow, it gets the error that it can't convert that kind of file (as I wrote above, the file creates corrupted), the main problem is understanding why it gets corrupted, it even returs the content-type that I'm not passing anymore. Error image: Message: "message": "Error from microservice: {\"status\":406,\"message\":\"Não há suporte para a conversão desse arquivo para PDF. (cannotOpenFile / Error from Office Service. Url=https://wordcs.officeapps.live.com/document/export/pdf HttpCode=BadRequest)\",\"source\":\"api.connectorp.svc.ms\"}\r\nclientRequestId: y-13f3-4e1a-a77a-x\r\nserviceRequestId: y-a09f-b000-f272-x" NB: This flow actually worked for more than 1 year with no problems like that, the last time it ran without errors was last week (6-7 days from today).Sign with a personal touch with eSignature for Microsoft 365
We’ve heard your feedback: you want more personal and natural signing experiences with eSignature for Microsoft 365. Now you can draw your signature directly on PDF files using a stylus, touch, or mouse. No more printing, signing, and scanning; no more settling for typed signatures. Whether you’re approving an official company policy or signing a sales contract, you can now add your familiar distinctive touch with your drawn signature. How it works Using the drawn signature feature is straightforward and feels much like signing a piece of paper. When you receive a signing request from eSignature for Microsoft 365: Open the PDF as usual. When you start to sign, you’ll notice a new “Draw” tab on the signature panel. In the “Draw” tab, write your signature in the drawing field with a stylus, touch, or mouse. You can pick different pen colors to customize your signature look. Made a mistake? Simply hit the “Clear” button to erase your current drawing and try again. You have unlimited tries until you’re happy with your signature. When you’re done drawing, click Done. Your signature will be placed into the PDF. Fill in any remaining signature fields and select ‘Submit’ to complete the signing process. The result is a secure PDF that includes your drawn signature. If multiple people need to sign, each signer can choose their own method – type or draw – when it’s their turn. Good to know: If you have more than one signature field assigned to you in a PDF, filling out the first one will automatically allow you to reuse that signature for the remaining fields, so you don’t have to draw it repeatedly. How to get started We’re excited for you to try drawn signatures and experience a more personal, authentic way of signing documents in Microsoft 365. Starting this week, the drawn signatures capability will be available worldwide on the Microsoft 365 public cloud (excluding Indonesia), with rollout expected to be completed by mid-May. It’ll be enabled by default for all customers using eSignature for Microsoft 365. There is no need for admins to act. When the feature reaches your tenant, users will automatically see the new “Draw” option when signing PDFs. If you’re an admin or interested user, make sure eSignature is enabled in your tenant. It’s found under Pay-as-you-go services in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. You can also learn more about eSignature configuration and usage. Now, through June 2026, you can try out a limited amount of eSignature by sending up to five requests per month at no cost if you have pay-as-you-go billing enabled.Partner Blog | Introducing Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite
