Microsoft Teams events: A new unified experience makes it easier to discover, create, and manage events
Today’s organizational challenges and growing complexity can make it difficult to create meaningful connections with audiences, whether engaging employees or reaching a dispersed customer base. Having the right tools to navigate the demands of large-scale communication for digital and hybrid events is critical to achieving business objectives. We are excited to introduce the new Teams events experience designed to simplify how events are discovered, created, and managed. Now in public preview, Teams events represents the next step in delivering professional, high-quality events, featuring flexible customization options to empower event organizers and better engage the audiences that matter most. Unified event creation flow At the heart of this Teams events update is greater choice and control for organizers. The Meet app becomes the dedicated home for events in Teams, featuring a new event creation flow that gives organizers more flexibility and control when setting up their events. Organizers can customize experiences such as audience interaction (attendee camera feeds, raise hands, polls, etc.), registration control, and event scale. The new event creation experience no longer constrains individual features to a particular event type, replaced by a dynamic scheduling flow that gives organizers increased flexibility to tailor the event experience to specific audiences and goals. Centralized event discovery and tracking Busy schedules make it impractical, and sometimes impossible, for people to be aware of important events an organization hosts. The new Discover tab in the Meet app helps organizers promote events and drive interest by making them easier for audiences to find and access. The Discover tab is where organizers and attendees can find and track events, without relying solely on calendar invitations. Users can view events they’re registered for, find and register for new events, and catch up on recordings of past events. The Discover tab gives organizers, registrants, and attendees a single place to stay connected to their events. Simplified event management Managing events in Teams is easier than ever with the new Manage tab. No more searching through calendars or hidden menus to update presenter bios, adjust sharing functions, or track registrations. Teams events brings everything into one place for streamlined management. Event pages are created automatically when an event is saved, and serve as the central location for settings, customization, and branding. After an event concludes, Teams events makes it easy to send attendees follow-up emails and recording notifications. Event organizers also have a single place to access registration data and recap tools designed for insights and continued engagement. New capabilities give event organizers more control and flexibility In addition to the new unified experience, Teams events is adding capabilities to streamline setup and drive attendance: New delegate and shared mailbox support enables authorized users to schedule and manage events on behalf of the principal organizer. This helps teams collaborate more naturally when coordinating large or recurring events. Dedicated event details pages make it easy for organizers to view all elements related to the event, including built-in Q&A, and the ability to save customizations as templates for future use. Support for custom domains for event emails improves deliverability and helps invitations and reminders avoid spam filters, while offering additional event branding. Enhanced co-organizer editing and management controls make it easier to share responsibilities throughout the event lifecycle, ensuring a consistent management experience even as teams grow and roles evolve. Expanded access to events with new licensing Starting April 1 st , 2026, Teams events capabilities such as town hall and webinar, including advanced features, are available to all users licensed for Teams Enterprise and no longer require Teams Premium. This expanded access to Teams events enables more people in your organization to create high-quality, professional events. Along with these licensing changes, we also announced Attendee Capacity Pack licenses would be available to scale digital and hybrid events up to 100,000. For more information, please read our recent licensing announcement. Teams live events retirement Teams events will continue to be the experience where we invest in bringing new features and capabilities to support high-quality, professional digital and hybrid events at scale. With this launch, we will be retiring Teams live events fully on June 30, 2026. Users with events already scheduled through February 28, 2027, will be able to carry out these instances as planned through that date to avoid disruption. For more information, please refer to our recent retirement announcement. Create events that connect It’s never been more important to make meaningful connections with the audiences that matter to your organization, and your ability to deliver highly engaging events can play a critical role. The new Teams events experience streamlines your events, from discovering what’s happening across your organization, to creating tailored formats, to managing professional engagements at scale, all in one place. This new chapter brings greater simplicity, flexibility, and power to every event organizer, manager, presenter, and attendee. With expanded access through licensing updates, Teams events provide the foundation to deliver memorable, high-quality experiences, and enables even more people across your organization to confidently bring their events to life.Licensing updates extend access to advanced capabilities in Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Places
UPDATE: These changes will go into effect on April 1, 2026 for customers with users on any license that includes access to the calendar in Outlook and Teams (including Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium; Outlook 365 E1, E3, and E5; Exchange Online; various Teams licenses; additional Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses). Access to the Places management portal remains available for all Places customers. At Microsoft, we empower organizations to achieve more through intelligent communication, inclusive collaboration, and connected workplace experiences. Our customers are looking for scaled, widespread access to powerful tools that enable workforces to interact and communicate with more intelligence and precision. To facilitate that, we’re announcing Teams licensing updates that make it easier for customers to unlock their full communication and collaboration potential. These licensing changes simplify access to capabilities spanning across Microsoft Places and Teams events, so you can deliver experiences that enhance virtual and in-person collaboration. Read on to learn about the changes ahead and new ways to empower your organization. Access enhanced workplace coordination capabilities Places enables an AI-powered workplace experience by connecting employees to colleagues, spaces, and services in the office. We are expanding access to end-user functionality in Places by making it available in all licenses that include access to the calendar in Outlook and Teams (including Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium; Outlook 365 E1, E3, and E5; Exchange Online; various Teams licenses; additional Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses). Functionality included in this change: Places Finder: Make more informed decisions about bookings with enriched context like images, floorplans, custom attributes, and available technology in the spaces around you. This change enables organizations to upgrade at scale from Room Finder to the full Places Finder experience by onboarding spaces to the Places Directory. Places Explorer: Enable map-based space reservations and explore details about all workplaces, including the people, spaces, and experiences in each location. Access to Places Explorer is through the Places app inside Microsoft Outlook and Teams. These changes will go into effect on April 1, 2026 for customers with users on any license that includes access to the calendar in Outlook and Teams (including Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium; Outlook 365 E1, E3, and E5; Exchange Online; various Teams licenses; additional Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses). Manage shared spaces more efficiently Across our AI-powered workplace solutions, we’re continually looking for ways to streamline how organizations manage their inventory of shared desks, spaces, and assets. The newly renamed Teams Shared Space license (formerly Teams Shared Devices license) will be the way that organizations manage this inventory of assets, adding the ability to manage up to four desks with a single license (in addition to the previous ability to manage either a common area phone, a Teams panel, shared space like a room, or a hotdesking device included in the Teams Shared Device license). IT admins will be able to assign licenses to bookable shared spaces individually and control which workspaces are available for employees to use with this new functionality. This license will provide space management capabilities, including: Desk booking: Employees can reserve desks in advance before arriving at a location. Space management: Admins can manage advance reservation policies for desks and set auto-release policies for rooms with a shared spaces license. Space Analytics: Inventory and utilization reports are available for licensed shared spaces (desks). This license will be available on April 1, 2026. For customers with legacy Teams Shared Device licenses, admins will not be required to take any action to transition to this license (but will have to assign additional spaces like desks with an additional no-cost license to take advantage of the new increased allotment of four spaces per license). Communicate and connect at scale Managing communication to thousands or tens of thousands of attendees can be a daunting process for anyone. Built directly on the Teams platform, Teams town hall and webinar enable events at scale with improved capabilities, reliability, and capacity. To empower more organizations to plan and execute high-quality events, we are bringing all town hall and webinar features that were previously only available with a Teams Premium license to Teams Enterprise, including: Streaming chat: Chat for town hall events reduces any message sending lag, enabling smoother communication between attendees and organizers. Reactions interactivity: Enjoy the same reactions from Teams meetings in town hall and webinar, allowing the audience to express themselves and react to presented content. Real-time event insights: Hosts of town hall and webinar instances can get feedback on the performance and reliability of their broadcasts, helping to ensure a smoother experience for attendees. Meeting theme and email customization: Use organizational branding to customize the event-related artifacts that are delivered to attendees. Enterprise Content Delivery Network (eCDN): eCDN helps to manage the bandwidth load of streaming events to large audiences, providing stability and reliability. Immersive events in Teams: Host immersive experiences in custom 3D environments where attendees join as avatars to interact and collaborate. All users with a Teams Enterprise license will soon be able to host Teams events for up to 3,000 attendees, including the ability to use advanced Teams town hall and webinar features. To fully enable events at scale, customers will be able to purchase attendee pack licenses that increase the cap on the total number of attendees up to 100,000 with the same suite of robust features. Attendee pack licenses will come in a range of sizes to provide added flexibility, and will be available to assign through the Teams Admin Center (TAC) after transacting. Summary of licensing changes These changes reflect our commitment to helping organizations confidently embrace the future of work with greater impact across their communication and collaboration. The full slate of changes will go into effect on April 1, 2026: End-user workplace coordination features from Microsoft Places available for licenses that include access to the calendar in Outlook and Teams (including Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium; Outlook 365 E1, E3, and E5; Exchange Online; various Teams licenses; additional Microsoft 365 and Office 365 licenses) Introduction of the renamed Teams Shared Space license with additional capabilities for space management and analytics for admins Advanced Teams events features available for all Teams Enterprise users. For organizations without new Attendee Capacity Pack licenses, the maximum attendee capacity for a Teams event instance is 3,000 concurrent attendees with engagement capabilities like reactions, raise hands, polls, and Q&A. For Teams events that require full attendee interactivity, including the ability for attendees to join with their cameras on and use their microphones (similar to the former webinar experience), the product supports up to 1,000 concurrent attendees to ensure a consistently optimized and well‑controlled experience. Attendee Capacity Pack add-on licenses for Teams events start from 5,000, and go up to 100,000 attendees Independent of these changes, we are committed to continuing to provide a robust set of experiences for organizations that have invested in Teams Premium. Teams Premium will still be the only way for customers to experience advanced communication features in Teams meetings, meeting protection, Advanced Collaboration Tools for admins, Intelligent recap, Queues app for Teams Phone, and enhanced capabilities for Bookings and virtual appointments.

New enhancements in Private Channels in Microsoft Teams unlock their full potential
Private channels have long empowered focused collaboration among a subset of a team’s members. Whether you're managing sensitive projects, driving confidential initiatives, or simply need a space for more targeted discussions, private channels offer the control and privacy your team needs. Now, private channels are evolving to meet the needs of modern teams. In response to customer feedback, we are introducing enhanced flexibility, greater scalability, and streamlined compliance management. Read on to learn about these key enhancements and how to prepare. Why Private Channels Matter Private channels offer a dedicated space for conversations that benefit from added structure, persistence, and control. They’re especially valuable when navigating sensitive topics like budgets, HR discussions, managing project-specific workstreams, or collaborating with clients and vendors who require limited access .While chat are ideal for quick exchanges, private channels help keep discussions organized, make shared files easier to find, and help ensure conversations remain accessible over time, all while giving you more control over who can access. What’s Changing—and Why It Matters To support growing usage and help simplify compliance, private channels will now use a group mailbox (like shared channels) instead of storing messages in individual user mailboxes. This change unlocks several key benefits: 🚀 Expanded Limits Feature Current New Max private channels per team 30 1000 Max members per private channel 250 5000 Meeting scheduling ❌ ✅ Supported Simplified Compliance At a user level Group Helping to Simplify Compliance By aligning private channels with group-based storage, compliance policies (e.g., retention, legal hold, DLP, eDiscovery) can be applied at the team (Microsoft 365 group) level, helping to reduce complexity and driving consistency across channel types. For example, one retention policy can be applied to the team’s group, instead of managing a separate policy for private channels. Organizations with compliance policies (retention, legal hold, DLP, eDiscovery, Optical Character recognition) for private channels must ensure those policies are also applied to the team’s group scope before migration begins. Existing policies for user mailboxes will continue to apply; post-migration, new private channel data will be governed by policies of the group mailbox. What Compliance Admins Need to Do To enable a smooth transition and help maintain compliance coverage, follow the below: Microsoft Purview Hold and eDiscovery Before Migration: In Microsoft Purview compliance portal, update hold policies to include the team’s Microsoft 365 group mailbox in addition to user mailboxes. After Migration: New data will reside in the group mailbox. For full eDiscovery, search both user and group mailboxes. Note: Private channel message history (edits/deletes) in user mailboxes under an existing hold will remain in their preserved user library folder until the hold expires. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Policies Before Migration: In Microsoft Purview compliance portal, update DLP policies to include team’s group. After Migration: Check that the DLP policies are scoped to the group mailbox for private channels. Microsoft Purview Retention Policies Before Migration: In Microsoft Purview compliance portal, go to solutions -> Data Lifecycle Management -> Retention policies Create Teams channel messages policy scoped to Teams having equivalent Retention type and duration similar to existing private channel retention policies. After Migration: Set retention policies for the parent team with all channels in the team in mind, including private channels. Microsoft policies for Optical Character Recognition Optical character recognition (OCR) is managed via Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy. Before migration, modify the corresponding DLP policy that needs be applied for OCR to private channels and change locations to all users and groups. What’s Next This update helps make private channels more scalable, manageable, and compliant. It’s a big step forward for organizations that rely on Teams for secure, structured collaboration. Migration is scheduled to begin in early October 2025 and is expected to be completed by the end of December 2025 for the worldwide cloud. During this period, private channel data will gradually move from user mailboxes to the team’s group mailbox. Private channels can be used throughout the migration. Special cloud migration will happen in early 2026. Migration can start or end at different times for each tenant during the rollout period. To track progress, a new PowerShell command will be available for tenants to check whether their migration has started or is completed. The command will be - Get-TenantPrivateChannelMigrationStatus -TenantId <tenantId> We’ll be updating public documentation soon and will share links here.From Threads to Workflows: Microsoft Teams Features That Boost Everyone’s Productivity
Organizations are looking to achieve more—and need tools that help them work faster, simpler, and smarter. Guided by customer feedback, Microsoft Teams continues to evolve. Earlier this year, we launched the new chat and channels experience: a unified, streamlined interface that brings simplicity by default, with powerful capabilities just a click away. We’re introducing the next wave of innovations in Teams, with features like threads, multiple emoji reactions, and emoji-triggered workflows. These updates help make collaboration more open and organized, bringing together people and, increasingly, AI agents. They also boost personal productivity by automating routine tasks and enabling you to adapt Teams to your work style. Threads in channels, something many users will be familiar with, are a key part of this evolution. It combines the simplicity of chat-like conversations with the structure, durability, and manageability of channels—helping you stay on top of the information that matters most without getting overwhelmed. Let’s take a look. Enhance group collaboration Efficient collaboration moves work forward—and seamless communication is key. Teams need to share knowledge, brainstorm ideas, and resolve challenges quickly. But in today’s fast-paced, always-on-work environment, the workday can feel like a blur. The Work Trend Index calls this the “infinite workday”—where the workday is stretched and attention is constantly under pressure. To help with this challenge, we’re introducing threads in channels—to make collaboration more efficient and focused. With threads, you can reply directly to specific messages, keeping related conversations grouped together without disrupting the main flow. This preserves context and order, making it easier to stay up to date, while allowing for in-depth discussions. You can follow the threads that matter most to you, and when an important update or decision is made, you can send it back to the main conversation, so everyone stays aligned without requiring them to sift through every reply. The Followed Threads view brings all your followed conversations into one interactive list. You can quickly access all your threads, triage and respond—without jumping between channels. And when you're done with a thread, unfollow it to stop receiving future updates. By default, you’ll only follow threads you’ve started, replied to, been mentioned in, or explicitly chosen to follow. ‘Follow’ helps you stay engaged with key conversations, without unnecessary interruptions. The new threads layout complements the existing post layout. While posts are ideal for announcements and broad updates, threads are a better fit with dynamic, scaled collaboration. When creating a new channel, select between threads or posts layout, and don’t worry, this can be changed later without loss of fidelity. By setting up dedicated channels for each project, you can keep stakeholders, files, and updates all in one place—making teamwork more connected, transparent, and efficient. Apps are supported in the threads layout. Bots can start new threads, read messages and respond within a thread, just like a teammate. Channel meetings and ‘meet now’ are supported too, with each meeting getting its own thread to keep content grouped together and easy to find. Threads in channels are now in public preview. Your work isn't limited to just a desktop, so we will bring threads in channels to all devices for seamless productivity, including desktop, mobile, iOS, and Android. Threads in channels is now in public preview. Threads help you keep context while reducing clutter, and emojis help build meaningful connection. In a hybrid workforce, being able to express yourself on Teams helps strengthen team culture. You can now react with multiple reactions per message, enhancing your ability to express a wide range of emotions effectively. For example, react with✅ and 🙏 to convey appreciation and alignment without extra replies. And with custom emojis, introduced last year, your team can reflect its unique identity, from inside jokes to branded visuals, making interactions more personal and fun. Multiple emojis per message is now in public preview. Boost personal productivity Staying productive and meeting deadlines is critical. With the right tools, you can spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time driving impact. These new features let you tailor Teams to your needs, helping you make meaningful progress where it counts. You can now trigger workflows with emojis by reacting to messages in a chat or channel—streamlining tasks, reducing manual follow-ups, and speeding up responses. For example, reacting with ❗️can escalate a support issue by creating a helpdesk ticket, while 👀 can forward a message to the right channel. This helps ensure urgent items are addressed quickly and without a manual follow-up. Use emojis to automate DevOps, incident response, team collaboration, and more with the Workflows app. This is now available in public preview. Slash commands in Teams are getting more powerful. With support for multi-step inputs, you can now complete more complex tasks—like searching for a GIF, or jumping directly to a channel using /goto—without ever leaving your chat. These enhancements help you move faster and stay in the flow. Slash commands enhancements are now in public preview. Customize your keyboard shortcuts in Teams to work the way that’s most intuitive to you. Whether you're used to shortcuts from other tools or have your own workflow preferences, you can now set commands that match your habits—helping you work efficiently. To set it, open Keyboard shortcuts from the top bar menu (•••), and enter your own custom commands. Customize your keyboard shortcut is available in public preview. What’s next These latest Teams updates help you spend less time managing work and more time making progress. By cutting distractions, streamlining communication, and automating tasks, we’re helping you reclaim focus in a world where the workday often feels infinite. Teams enables people and agents to work together through secure, collaborative AI — from Copilot integration to agents created with Teams AI library, Copilot Studio, SharePoint, and more. The new threads layout helps bring together the right mix of people and agents for every step of the project, while keeping discussions focused and organized. We recently announced Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent to Agent Communication (A2A) support which allows developers to build more comprehensive agents that can talk to one another. These updates are just the beginning of enhancing human and agent interaction in Teams and there’s much more to come. Ready to try it out? Visit Microsoft adoption to learn more, or head to the Teams app to start using these features in public preview today.Announcing Public Preview: New Microsoft Teams VDI Optimization for Omnissa

For IT admins and VDI architects, this means faster access to new Teams features, fewer image rebuilds, and more predictable quality for meetings. Key benefits include: New media engine Teams now uses the same native media engine in VDI that powers the modern Teams desktop client, enabling faster innovation and improved feature parity. Improved performance and stability Faster join times, fewer call drops, improved success rates for meetings and screen sharing, and better handling of modern codecs. Evergreen updates with reduced admin overhead The Horizon Client for Windows (version 8.17) bundles a new component called the Plugin (MsTeamsPluginOmnissa.dll) which oversees virtual channel establishment and subsequent media engine download. The media engine (a non-store MSIX package) is decoupled from the virtual desktop image and updated automatically by the Plugin, helping avoid version mismatches and reducing operational complexity for IT teams. When you upgrade Teams in your golden image or Teams auto-updates in Persistent VDI environments, the Plugin will make sure there is a matching media engine version on the user’s device, silently installing it. Plugins are designed to be backwards and forward compatible with media engine versions, reducing the need for constantly updating the Horizon Client. From legacy optimization to a future-ready architecture For many years, Teams in VDI relied on a WebRTC-based optimization model that depended heavily on components embedded in the Horizon Agent and Client infrastructure. While effective for its time, that approach introduced constraints around feature delivery, diagnostics, and long-term scalability. The new optimization architecture addresses many of the limitations of earlier optimization models. By modularizing and decoupling the media stack, Microsoft can now: Deliver new Teams features to VDI faster Reduce dependency on Horizon client update cycles Improve observability and reliability across environments This architectural shift is foundational to the long-term roadmap for Teams in virtualized environments. Availability and next steps Microsoft Teams optimization for Omnissa Horizon is now in public tech preview for supported Windows endpoint configurations. To get started: Read the main VDI article here Ensure your Omnissa Horizon client environment is updated to 8.17 or higher Microsoft Teams minimum version 26032.206.4355.6508 Users must be part of the Public Preview – check this article to understand the policy in Teams Admin Center Monitor adoption and quality using existing Teams admin center and CQD diagnostic tools For customers currently using legacy optimization, this release provides a clear path forward to a more modern, resilient, and feature rich Teams experience in VDI. Looking ahead This release is an important milestone, but it’s not the end of the journey. We plan to GA this soon, and continue to invest with: Ongoing feature parity improvements Performance and reliability enhancements Expanded platform support aligned with customer demand We look forward to partnering with Omnissa and our joint customers as we continue shaping the future of collaboration in virtualized environments.What’s New in Microsoft Teams | October 2024

Welcome to 2026! This first ’What’s new in Teams’ of the year is a “2-in-1” edition. We’re not only introducing the usual monthly range of new features and capabilities designed to enhance your Teams experience, we’re also shining a spotlight on the Teams features that will be showcased at the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 conference in Barcelona, Spain. ISE brings together technology leaders, partners, and customers from around the world, making it the perfect venue to demonstrate how Teams continues to evolve as the AI-powered platform for communication, collaboration, and workplaces. This year, we’ll be highlighting several new Teams capabilities designed to improve meeting experiences, simplify communications, and make it easier for organizations to connect and engage at scale. Dive in to get a peek at what we’ll be sharing in Barcelona, and what you can start trying out right away! Teams at ISE Microsoft Teams Rooms Interpreter agent support in Teams Rooms on Windows The Interpreter agent acts as a translator in scheduled meetings in Teams Rooms on Windows, allowing participants to listen to the meeting in their chosen language with real-time translation so speaking different languages isn’t a barrier to effective understanding and collaboration. Available with Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more. Teams Rooms utilization by size and capacity in the Pro Management shared space insights report The Pro Management portal's shared space insights page now offers enhanced analytics for Teams rooms utilization. Two new data tiles analyze usage based on factors like room size, capacity, and people count. Usage data can also be filtered by reservations, occupancy, or a combination of both. With these insights, IT teams can make informed decisions about their rooms. Learn more. Express voice enrollment [Available in April] Express voice enrollment makes registering your voice in Teams fast and easy. Your profile enables features like voice isolation, speaker recognition, identification in a meeting room and transcripts, and enhanced meeting recaps and insights from Microsoft 365 Copilot. If you haven't enrolled, you’ll get an in-product prompt to opt-in and enroll your voice profile simply by speaking in a meeting. Admins can enable or disable this feature for their organization. Camera view switching in multi-camera Teams Rooms on Windows When in a meeting with another Teams Rooms on Windows that has multiple cameras, you can switch camera views in that room via the participant panel on the console, or video tile on a touch board, to optimize your views. Learn more. Two-way Direct Guest Join (DGJ) between Google Meet and Teams Rooms Organizations now have expanded meeting interoperability with two-way Direct Guest Join (DGJ) between Google Meet and Teams meetings. Teams Rooms on Windows devices can join Google Meet meetings and Google Meet devices can join Teams meetings. Users can join with one click through the calendar or by meeting ID. Learn more. Microsoft Teams Phone enhancements Interpreter in Teams Phone Interpreter, currently available in Teams meetings, is now expanding to Teams Phone to support calls made between Teams users—VoIP calls. Interpreter enables real-time speech-to-speech interpretation in up to nine languages, allowing participants to speak and listen in their preferred language. Interpreter helps eliminate language barriers and fosters seamless collaboration across global teams. For a more inclusive experience, users can also opt to have Interpreter simulate their personal voice. Today, Interpreter works for VoIP calls only. Queues app shared history of calls and voicemails [Public preview] Coordinating customer call follow‑ups is easier when service teams have visibility into calls that happen outside shifts or while representatives are unavailable. Now available in Public Preview, the Queues app shared history enables teams to access a unified view of all missed, incoming, outgoing calls, and voicemails within a call queue. By consolidating call activity into a shared history, it improves transparency and fosters better collaboration among team members handling customer interactions. This feature reduces duplication of effort and ensures that no customer call is overlooked. Admins can configure access to shared history for all queue members or restrict it to authorized users. Teams events The new Teams events experience brings discovery, creation, and management into a single, centralized workflow. Organizers can configure events through a flexible creation flow that supports a wide range of interaction, registration, and branding options without being constrained by event type. A new discovery experience makes it easier for users to find, track, and revisit events they are registered for or eligible to attend, while redesigned management capabilities provide a consistent place to update details, review registrations, access reporting, and coordinate across organizers and delegates. Available in public preview, the new Teams events experience helps unlock more control and flexibility for digital and hybrid events by simplifying creation and management for organizers and improving visibility and access for attendees. Learn more about Teams events. Communities in Teams Now rolling out to public preview, Communities in Teams appear alongside chats and channels, offering an integrated experience for browsing feeds, posting updates, and participating in discussions. Employees can find and manage their existing Viva Engage communities directly in Teams, with support for announcements, Q&A, long‑form posts, and discovering community-specific events that enable scalable organization‑wide communication and learning. Agents in communities are also available in public preview for communities in Teams. The agent helps turn community conversations into shared organizational knowledge by drafting suggested responses to unanswered questions using existing discussions and specified SharePoint sites. Community admins can review and publish these responses, helping employees get accurate answers faster while making that knowledge visible to the entire community. Learn more about communities in Teams. January new releases Feature categories: (All features listed are generally available unless otherwise noted) Chat and collaboration Teams Phone Workplace: Teams Rooms Fundamentals and Security Frontline Worker Solutions Certified for Teams Devices Chat and Collaboration Teams channels Shared tab The Files tab in channels has been renamed the Shared tab. In addition to showing current files, the Shared tab also displays previously shared files and links that were shared in channel posts. You can use the Recent view to sort by date, then filter by Files or Links, and use the “In messages” view to find links that appear in conversations. Message preview for channels, mentions, and reactions notifications Microsoft Teams is enhancing notifications by adding message previews for more types of notifications, including channels, mentions, and reactions. By surfacing message previews, users can quickly assess the importance of a notification without switching context and more efficiently prioritize responses. Autocorrect in Teams compose Autocorrect in Teams helps fix common spelling mistakes when typing in the compose box, so your messages stay clear and professional without extra effort. No need to backtrack to correct errors, Teams keeps your conversations flowing smoothly. Pin Teams window on top Teams now enables you to "Pin window on top", ensuring it will remain visible above other windows. This reduces meeting and collaboration friction by enabling you to multitask across apps without losing real-time visual cues, shared content, or critical discussions. Teams Phone Explicit consent for 1:1 call transcription and recording We’re extending Microsoft Teams’ existing explicit‑consent experience in meetings to now include 1:1 calls made between Teams users—VoIP calls. With a new Teams calling policy, admins can require participants to provide consent before a 1:1 call is recorded or transcribed. When a user starts recording or transcription, the other participant is automatically muted, with video and content sharing disabled, until they provide consent. This is especially valuable in regulated scenarios—such as a financial advisor capturing call notes—where organizations must obtain clear approval before initiating a recording. Today, explicit consent works for 1:1 VoIP calls only. Teams Phone Mobile is now generally available with T-Mobile USA Teams Phone Mobile enables end-users to make and receive calls using a single sim-enabled number across their mobile phone and all their Teams endpoints. T-Mobile customers in the United States can now enjoy seamless mobile and Teams integration with this unified calling experience. Learn more about how IT admins can configure Teams Phone Mobile in Teams admin center and view the expanding set of mobile operators supporting Teams Phone Mobile. Phone devices: Delayed simultaneous ring on Teams Phone devices Delayed Simultaneous Ring is now supported on Teams Phone devices. This capability addresses challenges for groups with shared call responsibilities and helps reduce distractions by prioritizing the intended recipient. If the call is not answered by the primary receiver first within a set time, the duration of which is customizable, then the call will start ringing other designated phones. It’s a smarter way to streamline call handling and ensure the intended person has the first opportunity to respond. Phone devices: Configure line keys from Teams admin center We’re expanding the flexibility of line keys in Teams Phone devices with new admin configuration capabilities. Line keys let users set up customized one‑touch dialing—for speed dial, shared lines, collaborative call delegation, and call transfers—helping them quickly reach important contacts and work more efficiently. With this update, IT admins can now centrally configure line keys in the Teams admin center (TAC) for both personal devices and common area phones (CAP). This makes it easier to standardize setups, accelerate deployments, and ensure users have the right shortcuts at their fingertips. Phone devices: Enhancements for Copilot summary for transferred calls Copilot summary for transferred calls provides an AI‑generated summary of the transcribed or recorded call so that receiving person saves time gathering information on the earlier discussion. With this latest update, the transfer targets clearer context through the display of a concise call topic in the incoming call notification, giving them faster visibility into why the caller is being transferred. This helps users feel more confident before answering. For example, a bank branch worker can quickly see that a transfer relates to an account verification or a loan application. Workplace: Teams Rooms Enhanced production experience for Town hall in Teams Rooms on Android The enhanced ‘Manage what attendees see’ feature gives Town hall hosts greater control over what attendees experience. Organizers, co-organizers, and presenters joining from a Teams Room on Android with a Pro license can view a polished event while managing which participants appear on or off screen. Organizers licensed for Teams Premium can adjust layout, background, and name tag changes through the Teams Desktop. Learn more. Front-of-room view control for Town Hall in Teams Rooms on Android When a Teams Rooms on Android is invited as a meeting presenter, the front-of-room display defaults to the attendee view.

Available in Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more. Start and stop recording and transcription on Teams Rooms on Android During a Teams meeting, you can start, stop, and restart recording and transcription from a Team Rooms on Android device. Spoken language for the meeting can also be changed. Available in Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more. Fundamentals and Security Report a suspicious message on Teams for Android You can now provide security feedback directly from the Teams Android app - whether you're flagging a message as a security concern or confirming that a message Microsoft flagged is actually safe. This enhanced reporting flow helps your organization strengthen protection against phishing and other unwanted messages by capturing clearer, more actionable signals from real user behavior. In both cases, your feedback goes to your organization and, if admins choose, can also be shared with Microsoft’s detection systems to improve accuracy, reduce false positives, and better identify harmful content. Screen & Window Sharing on Mac via Mac OS Native Picker Mac users can now share their screen or specific windows using the standard native picker experience. By opting in through settings, users can enjoy a fully integrated sharing flow that leverages Mac OS's default interface - ensuring a familiar, secure and streamlined experience.
