If you take no action, users enabled for Teams or Skype in your tenant will be set to have all of their meetings created as online meetings.
This only applies if a user is enabled for Teams or Skype. In a future update, we will add support for 3rd party online meeting add-ins, but we do not yet have a timeline for that update.
This will apply to meetings with at least one attendee other than the organizer, and meetings with a duration less than 24 hours.

Blocking the downloads of meeting recordings is now available in advance of the mandatory move to ODSP on August 16th.
Non-channel meeting recordings; has been rolled out and turned on by default for all recordings. (https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=searchterms=70543 Roadmap ID; 70543)

MC256841 (Updated) Updates to U.S. Social Security Number sensitive information type definition for improved accuracy To improve the accuracy of the U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) sensitive information type, we are making the following changes to its definition;
1. Three discreet confidence levels (High, Medium, and Low) depending on the level of accuracy. The three levels indicate the likelihood of a true positive considering the following;
When the SSN was issued. SSNs issued pre-2011 had relatively strong definition due to additional checks.
Whether the SSN are formatted (ddd dd dddd or ddd-dd-dddd) or unformatted (ddddddddd).
Whether a keyword is found in proximity to the SSN.
2. An additional pattern which does not require mandatory keywords in proximity to reduce false negatives. The current definition requires keywords like SSN or Social Security Number in proximity to the actual number, which can sometimes lead to valid numbers not being detected (i.e. in an Excel spreadsheet where the supporting keyword is present only in the header row).
3. Added intelligence to detect high volume SSNs in tabular data, like an Excel spreadsheet where keyword is present only in the header of the table. Use High confidence or Medium confidence in your policy for this. Please note that this requires at least one instance to be detected with a keyword in proximity.
See details of current definition vs. new definition below.
[When this will happen]
Rollout will begin in early June and is expected to be complete by early July 2021
Updated July 19, 2021; We have made the decision to make additional changes before we proceed with the rollout. To ensure that the your policies continue to behave as they do today without impacting the accuracy, we are delaying this release until we work on the necessary changes. We will send out another communication with the next updates. Thank you for your patience.

We are rolling out a new Teams policy that will allow users to automatically be in the Public Preview channel of Teams if they are in Current Channel Preview for the Office 365 Client.

IT admins can modify this policy for end users such that if Office is getting updates from Current Channel (Preview), Teams will receive updates via Public Preview.

This feature will be ON by default for all tenants with users in the Teams Current Channel.

MC267584 (Updated) Microsoft Exchange Online - Configuration Change for online meetings by default If you want all the meetings in your organization to be online by default, there is nothing you need to do. You might want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
If you don't want all the meetings in your organization to be online by default, you will need to disable this feature using PowerShell and set the OnlineMeetingsByDefaultEnabled parameter to $false. If you want your organization to have online meetings by default except for a few individual users, you can also disable this feature per mailbox using the Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration cmdlet.
Please click Additional Information for a link to the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet.
If you want all the meetings in your organization to be online by default, there is nothing you need to do. You might want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
If you don't want all the meetings in your organization to be online by default, you will need to disable this feature using PowerShell. If you check your current organization settings, you?ll notice that PowerShell returns the organization?s effective setting value. The current default ? if the organization has never explicitly configured this setting ? is $false. Thus, if you run the cmdlet today, you will see $false unless you had explicitly changed the value to $true.
This update will change the default value to $true. So, if you have explicitly configured this to $false in the past, that value is locked in and will continue to be $false even after this update. If you have never explicitly configured this setting, you will see $false currently and that will change to $true with this update. However, if you explicitly set the value to $false before this update, it will remain as $false even after the update. To summarize, this change only changes the default value for organizations that have never explicitly changed this setting. If you have already configured this setting in the past, its value will not change with this update.
You can also disable this feature per mailbox using the Set-MailboxCalendarConfiguration cmdlet, which has similar default value logic. Please click Additional Information for a link to the Set-OrganizationConfig cmdlet.

MC264092 (Updated) Teams Follows Office Preview This policy can be managed via the Teams Admin Center ; Teams ; Update Policies. You can also use PowerShell to update this setting (CsTeamsUpdateManagementPolicy).

This follow Office preview setting is enabled by default for all users in your tenant. If you wish to disable this setting, please go to the Teams Admin Center to do so (or use PowerShell).
If you already have users who you have allowed to opt-in/opt-out of Public Preview and wish to maintain that setting in its current form, you will need to go to the Teams Admin Center to switch from the new default, ?FollowOfficePreview? to ?Enabled? (or use PowerShell).

This policy can be managed via the Teams Admin Center ; Teams ; Update Policies. (Note; If the setting was not available to you in Teams Admin Center before, it is available now)
You can also use PowerShell to update this setting (CsTeamsUpdateManagementPolicy).
Here is an example cmdlet to set the Teams global policy to follow the Office preview via PowerShell;
Set-CsTeamsUpdateManagementPolicy -Identity Global -AllowPublicPreview FollowOfficePreview

The policy is set to ?FollowOfficePreview? by default for all users in your tenant. If you wish to disable this setting, please go to the Teams Admin Center to do so (or use PowerShell).
