Microsoft Teams Meeting Controls: July 2026 M365 Champions Community call
Hello Champions! Here’s a recap and top Q+A from our July M365 Champions monthly call of 2026. We kicked off the call annoucing a new Champion Stories program to showcase real-world Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption success stories from the Champions community. Organizations that have successfully introduced or scaled Copilot are invited to share their journey, lessons learned, and best practices. Selected stories will be professionally filmed and published to help other Champions learn from peer experiences. Submit your story at aka.ms/ChampionStory. This month's main topic featured the redesigned Microsoft Teams meeting controls with Michelle Maislen, Principal Product Manager and Ryan Miller, UX Researcher from the Microsoft Teams product group. She explained that the redesign was driven by customer feedback around cluttered meeting controls, accidental clicks, and difficulty finding key features. The new experience introduces a cleaner, more organized toolbar with mic, camera, and share controls prioritized, separates the Share and Leave buttons to prevent accidental exits, moves advanced features into a structured “More” menu, and allows users to customize their meeting controls through drag-and-drop pinning. She acknowledged that changes such as moving Raise Hand under Reactions may be polarizing, but emphasized that users can personalize the toolbar to fit their workflow. Michelle also detailed the phased rollout plan, with users receiving opportunities to opt in before automatic migration, and shared that the redesign will extend across meetings, webinars, and town halls. Throughout the discussion and Q&A, she reinforced that the goal is to create a simpler, more intuitive, and highly customizable Teams meeting experience while preserving access to all existing meeting functionality.

Answer: Microsoft expects the redesigned meeting controls to roll out worldwide in September 2026, following preview validation and user feedback. 2. How does the 20-day rollout experience work? Answer: Users will receive several opportunities to opt in to the new experience. After approximately 20 days, they will be automatically migrated. 3. Can users switch back to the old meeting controls? Answer: Yes. A temporary toggle allows users to switch back to the old experience, although Microsoft plans to remove this option in the future. 4. Why was Raise Hand moved under Reactions? Answer: Research showed users frequently clicked the wrong button when Raise Hand and Reactions were adjacent. Moving Raise Hand under Reactions reduces accidental clicks. 5. Can users move Raise Hand back to the main toolbar? Answer: Yes. Users can drag and pin Raise Hand to the main toolbar if they prefer it there. 6. Can users customize the meeting toolbar? Answer: Yes. Most controls can be pinned, unpinned, and rearranged using drag-and-drop customization. 7. Which controls cannot be moved? Answer: Microphone, Camera, Share, and Leave remain fixed to ensure a consistent core meeting experience. 8. Will toolbar customizations persist between meetings? Answer: Yes. Customizations persist across meetings on the same device. 9. Will toolbar settings sync across multiple devices? Answer: Not initially. Microsoft indicated multi-device synchronization is planned for a future update. 10. Can users pin specific reactions (such as Thumbs Up) to the toolbar? Answer: Not in the initial release. The team acknowledged the request and is considering expanded reaction customization. 11. Will Microsoft add more meeting reactions? Answer: Yes. The Teams team confirmed they're exploring expanded reaction sets and potentially custom organizational reactions. 12. Does the redesign apply to Webinars and Town Halls? Answer: Yes. The redesigned controls will be available across Teams meetings, webinars, and town halls. 13. Is the redesign available in both Teams Desktop and Teams Web? Answer: Yes. The redesigned controls are supported in the Desktop and Web clients. 14. Will Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments be supported? Answer: Yes. Microsoft confirmed support for VDI deployments. 15. Why redesign the meeting controls at all? Answer: The redesign addresses common pain points including: Toolbar clutter Difficulty locating controls Accidental clicks Confusion between Reactions and Raise Hand Accidentally clicking Leave instead of Share 16. Where did features like Notes, Rooms, Apps, Facilitator, and Captions go? Answer: These capabilities were not removed. They have been reorganized under the new More menu to create a cleaner primary toolbar. 17. What adoption and readiness resources are available? Answer: Microsoft published: An IT Pro Change Management Guide An End User Visual Guide Adoption content on adoption.microsoft.com These resources are designed to help organizations prepare users for the transition. 18. Is Microsoft addressing AI-related meeting security concerns? Answer: Yes. The Teams team is actively working on better visibility and notifications for: AI note-taking bots External recording tools Third-party meeting assistants 19. Can meeting actions and decisions automatically flow into other Agents or workflows? Answer: The question was raised by attendees, and Microsoft acknowledged the scenario as valuable feedback. No roadmap or confirmed functionality was announced. 20. Will Education (EDU), GCC, and other government environments receive the redesign?

Microsoft Teams is often seen as a meeting tool, but its real power lies in how it connects Microsoft 365 services like SharePoint, OneDrive, and the Power Platform into a single workspace. When a Team is created, a Microsoft 365 Group and a SharePoint site are automatically provisioned, forming the foundation for file storage, permissions, and collaboration For nonprofits managing distributed staff, volunteers, and external partners, Teams can function as a central hub for collaboration, operations, and program delivery. 1. Organizing Work with Channels Teams' channels provide a flexible way to structure work across the organization. Nonprofits can create channels for: Volunteer groups Event teams Shifts or cohorts Within each channel, teams can: Store and share files (via SharePoint) Manage tasks using Planner Automate updates with Power Automate Key consideration: Standard channels are visible to all team members Private and shared channels allow restricted access Standard, private, or shared channels in Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Support How to set this up In Teams: Join or create a team → Create team Choose: Standard team Add channels such as: General Training Events Resources Assign volunteer leads as Owners ✅ Note: The Teams Admin Center is primarily used for governance and policy management—not day-to-day team creation. ✅ Channels can be standard (open to all members) or private/shared for restricted access, depending on your needs.

Introduction: If you collaborate with multiple companies, clients, or nonprofits, you’ve likely been invited to more than one Microsoft Teams organization (aka “tenant”). While Teams is a powerful tool for collaboration, switching between orgs isn’t always intuitive—and can slow you down if you’re not set up properly. In this blog, I’ll walk you through how to manage and switch between multiple organizations in Microsoft Teams smoothly—on both desktop and mobile. What Is an "Organization" in Teams? Each Microsoft 365 account is tied to a single organization (or tenant). When you're added to another org’s Teams environment, you're technically a guest there. Teams allows you to toggle between these orgs, but the interface isn’t always user-friendly, and you can easily miss notifications or messages if you're not careful. How to Switch Organizations on Teams Desktop App Open Microsoft Teams (desktop or web). In the top-right corner, click on your profile picture. Under your name, you’ll see a list of all the organizations you’re a member of. Click the name of the org you want to switch to. Teams will reload in that environment. Note: Each time you switch, Teams refreshes—so it can take a few seconds. switched organization shown below Switching Orgs on the Teams Mobile App Tap your profile picture in the top-left corner. Under your name, tap the dropdown arrow to view other organizations. Select the org you want to access. Note: On mobile, switching is usually faster than on desktop, and it’s a good backup when you cannot access your computer. Other Tips for Managing Multiple Orgs ✅ Use the Web App in Parallel Open teams.microsoft.com in a browser for one org while using the desktop app for another. This is especially helpful if you're constantly jumping back and forth. 🔔 Don't Miss Notifications Teams doesn’t show notifications from orgs you’re not actively in. Use the Activity Feed in each org to catch up when you switch. On mobile, you can enable notifications for all orgs (Settings > Notifications > Accounts). 💼 Keep Track of Which Org You're In Customize your Teams theme for each org to help visually differentiate them. Add org initials or emojis in team names (if you’re an admin) to make switching less confusing. 🧹 Leave Orgs You No Longer Use If you’re no longer collaborating with a tenant, go to myaccount.microsoft.com/organizations and remove your access. 🧠 Bonus: Using Multiple Desktops or Profiles If you’re more advanced, consider: Creating browser profiles (Chrome/Edge) for each org. Running Teams in multiple desktop user accounts or Microsoft Edge side-by-side mode. Wrapping Up Switching orgs in Teams is a necessary evil for consultants, volunteers, and cross-org collaborators. With the right habits—like using browser tabs, enabling notifications, and customizing views—you can stay productive without missing a beat.Honoring Women Innovators: How Marisa Redd Is Expanding Childcare Access Through Technology

This post is a follow‑up to my earlier guide, “How to Enable Transcription in Microsoft Teams: A Quick Guide to Smarter Meetings.” If you’ve already learned how to turn transcription on, this next step will help you get even more value from it. Transcription in Microsoft Teams isn’t just a convenience—it’s a powerful productivity engine hiding in plain sight. If you’ve already mastered how to enable transcription (or read my earlier guide), you’re ready for the next step: turning those transcripts into actionable insights, better collaboration, and smarter workflows. Whether you’re a project manager, educator, team lead, or someone who simply wants cleaner follow‑ups, this guide will help you unlock the full potential of Teams transcription. Why Transcription Matters More Than Ever Meetings move fast. Decisions get made, tasks get assigned, and ideas fly across the screen. Even with the best note‑taking habits, it’s easy to miss something. Transcription solves that by giving you: Searchable meeting history Accurate recall of decisions and action items Accessibility for participants who prefer or require text A single source of truth for follow‑ups But the real magic happens when you start using transcripts strategically. 1. Turn Transcripts Into Actionable Follow‑Ups A transcript isn’t just a record—it’s a roadmap. Here’s how to make it work for you: Use Search to Find What Matters Instead of rewatching an hour‑long recording, search the transcript for keywords like: “deadline” “next steps” “assign” “decision” This instantly surfaces the moments that matter. Extract Action Items Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot users get AI‑generated action items automatically. But even without premium features, you can: Skim the transcript for verbs (“send,” “review,” “update”) Copy/paste tasks into Planner, To Do, or your project management tool Share a summary with your team to confirm alignment 2. Use Speaker Attribution to Improve Collaboration Teams transcription identifies who said what—unless you choose to anonymize your name. This is incredibly useful for: Tracking ownership of ideas Following up with the right person Clarifying who committed to which task Reviewing feedback from specific stakeholders If your team works cross‑functionally, this feature alone can save hours of back‑and‑forth. 3. Combine Transcripts with Meeting Recordings for Full Context Transcripts are great for scanning, but recordings add tone, nuance, and visual cues. Use them together when: Reviewing complex discussions Revisiting demos or walkthroughs Clarifying tone in sensitive conversations Training new team members Pro tip: Jump directly to a transcript line and Teams will play the recording from that exact moment. 4. Leverage Multi‑Language Support If your team is global, transcription becomes even more valuable. Teams supports multiple spoken languages, and you can confirm the language at the start of transcription. This helps: Multilingual teams collaborate more effectively Non‑native speakers review content at their own pace Organizations maintain accurate documentation across regions 5. Manage Privacy and Compliance Like a Pro Transcription is powerful—but it also comes with responsibility. Here’s how to stay compliant: Know Where Transcripts Are Stored Saved to the meeting organizer’s OneDrive for Business Governed by your organization’s retention and compliance policies Control Who Can Download Admins can restrict transcript downloads to: Organizers only Organizers + co‑organizers Everyone in the meeting Use Anonymization When Needed If you want to participate without your name appearing in captions or transcripts, toggle on “Hide my name in captions and transcripts” in Teams settings (if allowed by your admin). Final Thoughts: Let Your Meetings Work for You Transcription in Microsoft Teams is more than a convenience—it’s a strategic advantage. By going beyond simply turning it on and learning how to use the transcript effectively, you transform your meetings into a powerful source of clarity, accountability, and insight. Every conversation becomes searchable. Every decision becomes traceable. Every meeting becomes more valuable. If you’re ready to take your Teams experience to the next level, start treating transcription as a core part of your workflow—not an optional add‑on.
