Microsoft Teams Release Notes

Migration tool for Teams

This feature enables customers to move content seamlessly from public and private channels in a third-party solution to Teams standard channels. A new first-party Migration tool on Microsoft Admin Center (MAC) will allow admins to connect to the third-party solution workspace, plan, and perform content migration to Teams.

New policy setting to require explicit consent for recording and transcription in Teams 1:1 calls

We're expanding the capability to require explicit consent for recording and transcription to include 1:1 calls in Microsoft Teams. A new setting in the Teams Calling policy allows enforcement of this requirement through the admins before recording or transcription can begin. When a user with the policy initiates recording, transcription, or both in a 1:1 call, the other participant is automatically muted, with their camera and content-sharing turned off. The participant will see a prompt asking whether they consent to be included in the recording and transcription.

Restart your town hall event

This feature enables Teams town hall producers to restart a live event while the event is active to address technical issues that might arise during the execution of an instance. Whether technical, network, or other issues, this feature enables those managing the event to quickly resolve problems for attendees. This feature is designed to prevent the need for scheduling entirely new events.

Teams admin center - Troubleshoot meetings and calls with automatic issue identification and recommendations

This feature enables administrators to troubleshoot Teams meetings and calls in Teams admin center with ease with a streamlined flow (that focuses on the meeting-quality issues) and detailed telemetry.

Interpreter in Microsoft Teams calls

Interpreter, now available in Teams meetings, is expanding to Teams calls. Interpreter enables real-time speech-to-speech interpretation in 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 the Interpreter simulate their personal voice.

Autocorrect in Teams compose

Users will now have commonly misspelled words automatically corrected in compose.

Teams admin center - VDI optimization monitoring in Best practice configurations dashboard

Administrators can monitor which locations and users across their organization are facing meeting-related quality issues due to unoptimized Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).
