Now in Public Preview & Targeted release: Teams Discover Feed
For all features, refer: What's new in Microsoft Teams Public Preview & Targeted Release - Microsoft Support Description The Teams Discover Feed is a personalized, relevance-based feed of Teams channel content available in a scrollable view for undirected channel content, intended to solve information discovery and awareness issues for Teams users. Discover Feed brings customized content that helps you catch up on people or topics or channels you are interested in, in your team or the broader organization. Discover Feed surfaces channel posts of interest to the user based on the people they work with or the topics they might be interested in, which they would have otherwise missed out on. It is any content which users are not explicitly notified through mentions, replies, tags etc. or they don’t need to triage on an urgent basis but based on topics of interest or people in the network that the content covers, it is still interesting/informative and adds value to the user. Some additional features the feed provides to give users control– Users can see why the post is relevant to them, along with the feedback mechanism to share with the product -if the post was useful to them or not. Users can control the content they view on the feed from the ellipsis or three dot menu ( …), users can even choose to stop seeing posts from the specific person or channel.

Microsoft has announced that Teams now supports the Microsoft 365 targeted release mechanism, meaning that new Teams features should appear more consistently. The Teams preview program continues, but targeted release takes precedence. In other news, the Teams chat client in Windows 11 is being replaced by the Teams Free client. This probably won’t make much different, but it’s good to know. https://office365itpros.com/2023/06/16/targeted-release-teams/
