Introducing a refreshed design, task chat, and more in Microsoft Planner
We’re excited to announce that a modernized user interface and new features are now rolling out to basic plans in both Planner in Teams and Planner for the web. The updated design offers enhanced navigation, responsive layouts, a new goals view for setting objectives and priorities, and task chat—one of your most requested features—to enable real-time collaboration and @ mentioning team members. This release aims to make planning easier for everyday users while preparing for future AI-powered capabilities. Our goal is to streamline planning by making it more intelligent and connected, so teams can concentrate on achieving results rather than managing tasks. What's new in Planner A refreshed design: With this rollout, users will be able to manage their plans in a cleaner, more modern interface that brings a more consistent planning experience across work. Planner’s new look was designed to feel simpler, allowing users to find what they need. It reduces visual clutter, improves layout and spacing, and creates a more focused workspace. Task chat with @ mentions: A new task chat is coming to basic plans, bringing real-time, threaded conversations directly into tasks, including @ mentions, rich formatting, emojis, and notifications to help keep decisions tied to the specific task at hand. Plan members who are @ mentioned in a task will receive a notification in their Teams Activity feed and via email and can select the notification which takes them directly to the task card for additional context. Note that previously, users received notifications for every task comment, but as a result of customer feedback, we now only send notifications to mentioned users. The ability to @ mention team members directly in a task has been a top request, and we’re excited to roll this out in a familiar, chat-based experience. Please note, premium plans will continue to utilize the existing task conversation experience. This will converge into the new experience at a later point in time. Goals view: Basic plans will now include a dedicated Goals view, allowing teams to set clear, well-defined objectives to help prioritize work. By connecting tasks to shared goals, teams achieve greater alignment, gain clarity on priorities, and track progress and outcomes—driving the plan forward together. Access to Goals view in basic plans requires either a Planner premium license or a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Notes on availability Please note that not all users will see the new Planner interface at the same time. This refreshed interface, along with Task chat and Goals view, begins rolling out to basic plans today and will continue to roll out over the coming weeks. This is only the beginning This redesign lays the groundwork for many more improvements coming to Planner in the next few weeks and months, including: Project Manager agent in basic plans – to help with task execution and the creation of status reports. Custom templates. Planner in Outlook. Stay tuned for announcements regarding these updates and more aligned to our long-term vision for integrated work management. Feature availability, naming, and timelines are subject to change. Please refer to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap for the latest status. Addressing your feedback We heard your feedback about inconsistencies between basic and premium plans. This refresh starts closing those gaps, so features appear consistently across plans based on your license. For example, users with a Planner premium license will now see Goals in basic plans, and users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license will soon have access to Project Manager Agent in basic plans as well. Tell us what you think about the new Planner interface, Task chat, and Goals view by selecting More (circled question mark icon) in the top right corner of the app, then selecting Feedback from the dropdown menu. We also encourage you to share any feature requests by adding your ideas to the Planner Feedback Portal. Your feedback helps inform our feature updates, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Custom App (Static Tab) with SharePoint URL stays blank on first load in Teams Desktop Client
Hello Teams Developer Community, We have deployed a custom Teams app (v1.25) that uses a Static Tab to display our company's SharePoint intranet portal. The contentUrl and websiteUrl point to our SharePoint site. [The Issue] When a user clicks the app for the very first time in the Teams Desktop Client (New Teams), the screen remains completely blank (white loading screen). However, if the user clicks away to another app (like Chat or Teams) and then clicks back to our custom app, the SharePoint page loads perfectly. [Observations] This issue does NOT happen on Teams Web Client (browser). It loads instantly there. Clearing the Teams Desktop cache does not solve the problem. It seems to be related to WebView2 authentication/SSO redirect loops inside the iframe. I tried adding "showLoadingIndicator": true in Developer Portal, but the schema automatically strips it out upon saving. [Question] Is there a specific parameter we need to append to the SharePoint URL, or specific domains we must add to "validDomains", to prevent this initial blank screen caused by auth delays in the Desktop Client? Any guidance on handling this WebView2 rendering delay would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Adaptive Cards in Teams channel messages: fixed narrow width — request for width control
Hi Teams Platform team, We post structured status reports as Adaptive Cards into a Teams channel. The card consistently renders at a fixed width of 448 px on a 1080p display at 100% scaling with a maximized Teams desktop client — well below the available channel message stream width. Wide multi-column tables get truncated or wrapped, which significantly hurts readability. What we've tried No card-level `width` property exists in the Adaptive Cards schema. `msteams.width: "Full"` is documented to apply only to Stageview / task module / tab — silently ignored in channel messages (tested). Same payload via three delivery paths — Incoming Webhook, Logic App "Post adaptive card in chat or channel", and Microsoft Graph `POST /teams/{id}/channels/{id}/messages` — all render at the same narrow fixed width. The constraint is in the Teams channel-message renderer, not in any delivery layer. Minimal repro payload (7-column results table; all field names and values replaced with generic placeholders): { "type": "message", "attachments": [ { "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "content": { "$schema": "https://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "type": "AdaptiveCard", "version": "1.5", "msteams": { "width": "Full" }, "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Pipeline Report — run-001", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Medium" }, { "type": "Table", "gridStyle": "accent", "firstRowAsHeaders": true, "columns": [ { "width": 2 }, { "width": 1 }, { "width": 2 }, { "width": 1 }, { "width": 2 }, { "width": 1 }, { "width": 1 } ], "rows": [ { "type": "TableRow", "cells": [ { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-1", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-2", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-3", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Δ Col-3", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Col-4", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Δ Col-4", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Status", "weight": "Bolder", "size": "Small" }] } ] }, { "type": "TableRow", "cells": [ { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "item-a", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "mode-x", "size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "0.000/0.000","size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "+0.00%", "size": "Small", "color": "Good" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "0.000/0.000","size": "Small" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "-0.00%", "size": "Small", "color": "Attention" }] }, { "type": "TableCell", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "text": "✅ Pass", "size": "Small" }] } ] } ] } ] } } ] } `msteams.width: "Full"` is present but has no visible effect in the channel message context. Feature request Either of: Honor `msteams.width: "Full"` in channel-message context (not just Stageview/task module/tab), OR Add a card-level property (e.g. `msteams.channelWidth: "Full" | "Default"`) explicitly scoped to channel messages. Is this a known limitation with an existing tracking item, or should we also file it on the M365 Feedback Portal for upvotes? Thanks!Oracle Eloqua integration for Teams webinars
Would like to see Microsoft add or support an integration with Oracle Eloqua for Teams Webinars, as our Marketing team needs this integration in order to fully migrate to Microsoft Teams for our customer facing events. They continue to use an antiquated (competitor) platform because it does have the Eloqua integration.What's New in Microsoft Teams | April 2026
Our team just wrapped up the M365 Community Conference in Orlando, FL, and it was an incredible way to close out April! Our teams were energized by connecting with, listening to, and sharing what’s new with many of you: the builders, innovators and icons of intelligent work. Thank you to everyone who attended, and we can’t wait to see even more of you at next year’s conference! As for this month’s Teams updates, we remain focused on bringing you features that can make collaboration more intelligent, secure, and seamless—whether you’re working with AI, managing calls, or enabling hybrid teams at scale. Across meetings, calling, and the workplace, you’ll find improvements designed to remove friction, from smarter call handling with Copilot call delegation, to Interpreter agent enhancements that support proper attribution for sign-language users in meetings, and updated room booking and live transcription in meetings in Teams Rooms. In another new update, Targeted messages for agents now enables your agents and bots to send targeted, private, temporary updates to specific users in chats, channels, and meetings, without interrupting everyone else. We’re also delivering meaningful security and compliance enhancements, including sensitivity label inheritance for meeting recordings and Loop notes, improved admin visibility into external collaboration risks, and new user‑reported security signals in the Teams admin center. These updates help organizations protect information end to end, without slowing down teamwork. Together, these updates reflect our continued focus on helping teams collaborate more effectively, confidently, and securely—every day. Read on for all the latest updates! Feature categories: (All features listed are generally available unless otherwise noted) Chat and Collaboration Meetings Teams Phone Workplace Fundamentals and Security Platform Frontline Workers Certified for Teams Devices Chat and Collaboration Targeted messages for agents on Teams Send private, targeted messages from agents or bots to a specific person in a channel, group chat, or meeting—without distracting everyone else. Agents can share timely prompts, reminders, or next steps only with the people who need them, keeping conversations focused and clutter-free. As situations change, agents can update or remove these messages so guidance stays relevant and accurate. To enable targeted messaging for agents visit this page: Targeted Messages - Teams | Microsoft Learn Simplified Teams app bar The Teams app bar has been simplified to help you focus on what matters. App labels are hidden by default to reduce visual noise, the overflow menu is less cluttered, and you can now choose to show or hide the app bar to create more space for your work. New controls for quick views in the Teams chat list Positioned at the top of the chat and channels list in Teams, quick view controls provide fast access to mentions, followed threads, and more. You can choose when and how quick views are displayed – and can collapse the section at any time. Experts & verified answers in communities Help community members quickly identify trusted responses with Community Experts and verified answers. In the Engage app for Android and the Engage app in Teams for iOS and Android, members can request expert status, which admins can review and assign. Approved experts are highlighted with a special label next to their names and, along with admins, can endorse accurate and credible responses. Once marked, these responses receive a “verified” label, making it easy for viewers to recognize correct answers and rely on trusted expertise across community conversations. Microsoft Viva: Engage community membership management in Teams for iOS & Android Manage your communities on the go. Community admins can now add or remove members directly from the Teams mobile app on iOS and Android. Keep your Viva Engage communities up to date—anytime, anywhere. Meetings Consecutive interpretation in Interpreter agent Consecutive interpretation is a new mode in Microsoft Teams Interpreter that helps participants collaborate more naturally in meetings with two spoken languages. With consecutive interpretation, the translation begins after each speaker finishes speaking. This creates a turn-based flow that more closely reflects how people naturally communicate in multilingual conversations. In addition, consecutive interpretation brings Interpreter onto the meeting stage for everyone to see and hear, making it easier to follow, participate, and stay aligned. With this update, Interpreter now supports two modes: real-time simultaneous interpretation, launched last year, and the new consecutive interpretation mode designed for back-and-forth conversations—now available in public preview. Accurate transcript attribution for meetings with sign language interpreters Transcripts now attribute contributions to the original participant using sign language, not the interpreter. This ensures ideas and decisions are correctly credited to the person who shared them, including in Copilot chat and meeting recap. Spoken language detection is now automatic Spoken language detection is now fully automatic. Teams will automatically detect each speaker’s spoken language and update it in real time as the conversation evolves. Manual spoken language selection will no longer be available. This applies to both live captions and transcripts when Interpreter is enabled or when multilingual speech recognition is turned on in meeting options, helping deliver more accurate language recognition and a more consistent multilingual meeting experience. Teams meeting Notes, powered by Loop Teams meeting Notes, powered by Loop, are now available for instant meetings that started via ‘Meet now’ from the calendar. Notes are Loop components in Teams meetings and chats that allow end users to co-create and collaborate on their meeting agenda, notes, and action items that can be co-authored and edited by everyone. Since Notes are Loop components, they stay in sync across all the places they have been shared. Once added, meeting notes can also be shared and edited in the Loop app in your web browser. Resize the top video gallery in Teams meetings to see more people when content is being shared. Now you can resize the video gallery at the top of your meeting window when content is being shared, making it easy to see more participants alongside the presentation. Simply drag the divider between the shared content and the video gallery to adjust how much space each takes up. Whether you're in a small team sync or a large all-hands meeting, this gives you the flexibility to keep more faces visible while staying focused on what's being presented, helping everyone feel seen and engaged. Available on Windows desktop and Mac. Teams Phone Copilot call delegation - Frontier Incoming calls don’t wait for a break in your day. Whether you’re leading a meeting or juggling back-to-back commitments, every new call creates the same dilemma: answer and risk losing momentum, or ignore it and risk missing something important. Microsoft 365 Copilot can now help answer your incoming Teams calls and schedule follow-up appointments on your behalf. After turning on the experience in the Teams Calls settings, call delegation gathers context from callers that it shares with you to help you decide whether to pick up. It can also set up follow-up appointments via Microsoft Bookings so that you remember to meet with the callers that matter most. This experience is available to users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license through Frontier early access program. Learn more about call delegation and the Frontier program. Teams Phone user multi-line Many organizations need a way for a single person to represent multiple departments or regions in calling without juggling different Teams accounts, devices, or complicated routing workarounds. Teams Phone user multi-line now enables Teams administrators to configure and assign up to 10 phone numbers to an individual user through Teams admin center. Supported across desktop and Teams phone devices, user multi-line is ideal for individuals who handle multiple roles or who call contacts across different geographies. For example, a communications director supporting both press relations and analyst relations can take inbound calls for either function and place outbound calls using the appropriate number, all within a unified Teams experience. Or a customer success manager covering North America and Europe can use dedicated regional numbers so that customers reach the right line and interact with a familiar local caller ID, helping build greater trust. Learn more. Workplace - Rooms Ad-hoc room reservation from Teams Rooms on Android console With Teams Rooms on Android consoles, you can quickly book a meeting room for immediate use, helping to avoid scheduling conflicts and ensure uninterrupted spontaneous meetings. Available in Teams Rooms Pro-licensed rooms. Learn more. Live transcription in Teams Rooms on Android View and control live transcription during a meeting from a Teams Rooms on Android device. The real-time transcript includes speaker names and timestamp. You can adjust settings such as spoken language, translated language, and whether both original and translated transcripts are displayed side by side on the front of room display. This feature is available in Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more. Digital signage in Teams Rooms on Android As with Teams Rooms on Windows, IT Admins can now set up Teams Rooms on Android to show dynamic content on the front-of-room display when not in use. Configuration is available for tenant-wide and room-specific settings via the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. The feature supports select third-party digital signage partners like Appspace and XOGO, and is included with Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more. Fundamentals and Security Sensitivity label inheritance for meeting recordings and Loop meeting notes Meeting recordings and Loop meeting notes now automatically inherit your meeting’s sensitivity label. When admins enable label inheritance in the sensitivity label policy, any labeled meeting applies the same label to its MP4 recording and meeting notes, ensuring access controls and protections like data handling rules and encryption carry forward consistently. This also ensures that Copilot and agent responses based on transcripts and notes accurately reflect the meeting’s sensitivity, keeping confidential content protected end to end. External Domains Anomalies Report The External Domains Anomalies Report helps admins proactively identify unusual or risky interactions with external organizations in Microsoft Teams. By analyzing communication trends and detecting sudden spikes, new domains, or abnormal engagement patterns, it provides early visibility into potential data-sharing or security risks. As external collaboration continues to grow, this report offers admins actionable insights to protect their tenants while maintaining productive cross-organization collaboration. The report is available in the Teams Admin Center. It’s updated daily, and admins can select a time range to view (for example, the past 24 hours or past 7 days). User reported security signals in Teams admin center This update brings end‑user security reporting into Teams Admin Center. Admins can now view and download signals from messages users report as “a security concern” or “not a security concern” within TAC Protection reports, helping them identify trends and fine‑tune policies and responses. Microsoft Teams VDI Optimization for Omnissa on Windows Microsoft Teams has long supported Omnissa in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments; this feature advances that support by bringing Omnissa deployments onto Microsoft’s modern Teams VDI optimization architecture. With this update, organizations running Teams on Omnissa can take advantage of the new optimization to deliver improved performance, greater feature parity with the native desktop client, and a more reliable experience for meetings, audio, video, and screen sharing—while continuing to benefit from the centralized management, security, and scalability of VDI. Trigger workflows from messages on Teams mobile (Android and iOS) Users can now trigger Microsoft Teams workflows directly from a message on Teams mobile for Android and iOS, enabling common automation scenarios - such as approvals, notifications, or follow‑up actions - without switching devices or leaving the conversation. This update extends workflow message actions to mobile, improves UI reliability, and helps close parity gaps between desktop and mobile experiences for Teams workflows. Prevent screen capture for iOS Prevent screen capture is now available on the Microsoft Teams iOS app. When enabled, this setting helps protect your meeting by preventing the meeting window from being captured in screenshots. This capability builds on the Prevent screen capture experience already available on Desktop Windows and Android mobile app, helping organizations apply more consistent protections across supported Teams clients when discussing confidential topics. Mac desktop, virtual desktop, and older clients aren't supported. People on these platforms will not be able to turn on their own video, share their screen, or see other's videos or shared screens. Platform Python support in the Microsoft Teams SDK Teams SDK is now available in Python. With the Teams SDK, developers have a production‑ready foundation for building intelligent collaboration‑centric experiences directly within Microsoft Teams. And now, Python developers can take full advantage of that platform, using the same SDK surface that powers modern Teams apps and agents. You can learn more about the Python release of the Teams SDK in the Getting Started | Teams SDK documentation.

Planner task comments no longer send email notifications – critical regression
This change removed a previously existing core functionality without providing an adequate replacement. With the new Planner experience, task comments no longer trigger automatic email notifications to assigned users. This breaks a critical communication mechanism that many teams relied on for reliable task coordination. As a result, assigned users are no longer consistently informed about updates, introducing a high risk of missed information and operational issues in day-to-day work. There is currently no supported or enforceable alternative to ensure users are notified. Previous behavior: Task comments triggered automatic email notifications Assigned users were reliably informed Communication was traceable and consistent Current behavior: No automatic email notifications No configuration to restore this @mentions required (manual, error-prone, not enforceable) Microsoft Support has confirmed that this is by design and cannot be reverted. From an enterprise perspective, this is not just a design change, but a regression of critical functionality without an equivalent replacement. Request: Please restore automatic email notifications for task discussions or provide a reliable, enforceable alternative for notifying assigned users. Question to the community: How are you handling this change in real-world scenarios? Switching tools? Enforcing @mentions? Moving communication out of Planner? Would appreciate hearing how others are dealing with this.
Set work location via API (Graph?)
Hey community! The new work hours and location feature is rolling out for Outlook and Teams: https://blog.admindroid.com/work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-for-efficient-collaboration/ Does anyone know who to read and write this information (especially the location) via API / Microsoft Graph? This is a nice feature and we would like to set this programmatically. Thank you very much! Best regards, Jens
Anything inside Teams for people management you use and can recommend?
We currently have to use one tool for goals, another for feedback, a spreadsheet for review tracking, Teams for 1:1s, and then some shared doc for engagement notes. Leadership asked me if theres anything that does all of this inside Teams so they dont have to keep jumping around. We're a mid-size company (around 200 people) fully on Microsoft 365. Anyone found a good all-in-one solution that actually works inside Teams?small white window that opens during sharing in a meeting
Hi, I've Teams vers. 26120.3106.4722.3411. For some time when I access to a meeting and sharing the screen, a window or a presentation, a small white windows appears at the bottom right and I cannot close it. To close this window and to prevent it from opening again I need to disconnect to Teams also for 2-3 times. Well, how could I solve a such issue permanently? Thanks This is the window image that I can capture:
