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.Webinar Cancellation
Hi everyone! The webinar originally scheduled for April 14th on "Using distributed content to manage your multi-tenant SecOps" has unfortunately been cancelled for now. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to reschedule it in the future. Please find other available webinars at: http://aka.ms/securitycommunity All the best, The Microsoft Security Community Team
Teams Webinars: Org name vs brand name – how are people handling this?
Has anyone else hit this with Teams webinars? Microsoft recently changed how webinar emails are sent, and the sender name now seems to come from the tenant Organisation Name. You can change that in M365 admin, but that’s where the problem starts. In a lot of companies, the organisation name is a legal/billing entity, not the public-facing brand. Example: Legal / tenant name: FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. Brand: FedEx Teams webinar emails now go out showing the legal entity, which isn’t great for external, customer-facing events. Changing the org name just to fix webinar emails can have knock-on effects for billing, contracts, and governance. As far as I can see: No way to set a brand-specific sender name No per-webinar or per-mailbox sender identity Org name is global and used across multiple services The only real workaround seems to be not using Teams-generated emails at all, and sending custom emails via Power Automate / Graph / a marketing platform, while still using Teams for the actual event. Curious how others are dealing with this: Are you just living with it? Changing the org name with legal sign-off? Or bypassing Teams emails completely? Feels like a gap for larger, multi-brand orgs.Webinar Rescheduled: AI-Powered Entity Analysis in Sentinel's MCP Server

Participant (people) pop out window for Team's Events (meeting, webinar, townhall).
It would be so helpful if you can change Team events (meeting, webinar, townhall) to allow the participant list to pop out and away from the main window. There is no way to see who's entering the event & move certain people into a breakout room. Unless you use the notifications that appears as a pop up in the top middle of the window for people joining the room, but that can cause a huge problem if they are joining the room unmuted. When doing an event that allows people to join late, and they may not know or haven't learned how to mute or turn off their camera, it can be very disrupting. It would be greatly appreciated if we could move the participant list around, so we have easy access to both the breakout room tab as well as the main room participation list. This way you would be able to see if co-organizers are in the breakout room since they don't appear on the breakout room list and you would be able to allow attendees to join and make sure you have the capability to mute them. (It would also be appreciated if you could add turn off camera since you already have the ability to mute people).Monthly news - May 2025

These campaigns use malicious hyperlinks and attachments to deliver credential phishing and malware including RaccoonO365, AHKBot, Latrodectus, BruteRatel C4 (BRc4), and Remcos. Exploitation of CLFS zero-day leads to ransomware activity Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) and Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) have discovered post-compromise exploitation of a newly discovered zero-day vulnerability in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) against a small number of targets. Microsoft released security updates to address the vulnerability, tracked as CVE 2025-29824, on April 8, 2025. Stopping attacks against on-premises Exchange Server and SharePoint Server with AMSI Exchange Server and SharePoint Server are business-critical assets and considered crown-jewels for many organizations, making them attractive targets for attacks. Threat actors misuse Node.js to deliver malware and other malicious payloads Since October 2024, Microsoft Defender Experts has observed and helped multiple customers address campaigns leveraging Node.js to deliver malware and other payloads that ultimately lead to information theft and data exfiltration. Understanding the threat landscape for Kubernetes and containerized assets The dynamic nature of containers can make it challenging for security teams to detect runtime anomalies or pinpoint the source of a security incident, presenting an opportunity for attackers to stay undetected. Microsoft Threat Intelligence has observed threat actors taking advantage of unsecured workload identities to gain access to resources, including containerized environments.
