Roadmap, security and documentation changes captured for Microsoft Teams.
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Teams administrators can use meeting policies to control who can start recording and transcription, helping organizations apply consistent meeting settings. Administrators can restrict these permissions to organizers and co-organizers or extend them to presenters. They can also determine whether meeting organizers can modify these settings or whether they are enforced by policy.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Calling representative and Supervisor leads can view real-time call queue metrics directly from the Queues app on Mobile, giving them greater visibility into current queue activity and performance while on the go. Users can quickly understand the state of their queues, monitor key operational metrics, and make more informed decisions about their availability and queue participation without needing to switch to desktop.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft TeamsMicrosoft Copilot (Microsoft 365)
<p>Chat naturally with Facilitator without tagging it each time.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>You can now view up to two shared screens side by side during meetings, reducing interruptions from screen hand-offs. Participants can switch between side-by-side and expanded views, identify presenters for each screen, and benefit from layouts optimized for single or dual displays. Available with Teams Rooms Pro.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Agents and supervisors can use Copilot in the Queues app on Mobile to quickly understand and follow up on customer conversations. From shared call history, users can ask questions about a past call and use Copilot to surface relevant information and insights from the conversation, helping them get up to speed and take the next step without having to review the entire call</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Calling reps and Supervisor leads can view shared call history for their call queues in the Queues app on Mobile, helping them track call activity, review call details, and coordinate customer follow-ups while on the go.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>When it's time to present what your team decided, you can ask Facilitator to create a PowerPoint presentation from what was said, chats, and shared files in the meeting. It turns the conversation into the slides, whether that's a project update, a proposal, or a readout for leadership. Facilitator can already draft documents in Word, so now your team can also go straight from discussion to a deck.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Calling reps and supervisor leads can access intelligent call recap for call queue calls directly from the Queues app on Mobile. After a call, users can quickly catch up on the conversation with AI-generated notes, key discussion points, and recommended follow-up tasks, helping reduce the time spent reviewing calls and making it easier to move customer conversations forward while on the go.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>For call queue calls that are automatically recorded by the organization, Teams on Mobile will clearly indicate that recording and transcription have started automatically and cannot be stopped. This gives users clearer and more accurate information about the recording state of their call and provides a consistent experience across desktop and mobile.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Users can create and manage their call group directly from Teams on Mobile. They can add or remove members, configure how the group should ring, and choose to forward or simultaneously ring incoming calls to their call group. This makes it easier for users to manage how their calls are handled without needing to switch to the desktop experience.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Stay up-to-date with what's happening in your other accounts and organizations with the 'Activity in Other Accounts and Orgs' panel. Preview and open chats, channels, and other activity in other accounts and orgs from your main Teams window, without switching tenants.</p>

<p>Users can quickly decline an incoming Teams call and send a predefined message to the caller at the same time. From the incoming call screen, users can select a message such as letting the caller know they're unavailable or will call back, providing helpful context without having to answer the call or separately open a chat.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Associate channels with a tag so members are automatically added to those channels when they join the tag. This helps teams keep channel membership in sync with evolving groups, reduces manual management, and ensures members have access to the conversations and content most relevant to their role.</p>
In developmentMicrosoft Teams
<p>Microsoft Teams will support explicit consent for participants connected through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) in one-to-one calls. When explicit consent is required, PSTN participants will hear an audio prompt when recording or transcription is started. They can use their phone keypad to consent or decline. Participants who decline can remain in the call but stay muted. This capability extends the existing Teams calling policy for explicit consent to one-to-one PSTN calls.</p>

We are improving how users request access to apps and agents blocked by admins in Teams by introducing a clear, guided, and end-to-end request experience.

In addition to enhancements in Teams, we've also improved the admin experience in Teams Admin Center, to simplify the process for admins to review requests and take action. Additionally, we're introducing a new capability to increase admin awareness of new requests, ensuring that user requests don't get stalled.
