MC383876 (Updated) Collaborative Annotations on Presenter Shared Screen During screenshare, meeting attendees with Presenter roles will see the Annotation button in meeting controls at the top-center of their screen.

To turn on Collaborative Annotation while you're sharing your screen in a meeting, select the pen icon to Start annotation in meeting controls at the top-center of your screen, as shown below:

Note: You must be a Presenter role in a meeting to turn on Collaborative Annotation.

The red outline around the screenshare will turn blue, indicating Collaborative Annotation mode is on. All participants will see the Microsoft Whiteboard toolset at the top of the shared screen, as shown below. Everyone in the meeting can begin annotating right away in real-time.

Collaborative Cursors show the name of every attendee as they annotate and are turned on by default. Collaborative Cursors can be turned off by anyone attending the meeting from the Settings menu in the Collaborative Annotation toolbar.

To control who can annotate, the main Presenter can select Only I can annotate and unselect Everyone can annotate from the Settings menu in the Collaborative Annotation toolbar, as shown below:

To begin annotating, select one of the tools in the Whiteboard toolset, such as text, Sticky notes, Reaction tags, or digital ink, and begin typing or drawing on the screen.

To end the annotation session for everyone, select Stop annotation in meeting controls at the top-center area of your screen.

Collaborative Annotation is only available for full-screen sharing, not individual window sharing at this time.

Web and mobile users cannot start Collaborative Annotation while sharing content. However, if a desktop user shares the screen and starts Collaborative Annotation mode, web and mobile users are able to participate in annotating as well.

Exporting annotations is not supported at this time, but you can take screenshots during the meeting to save annotated content for later if necessary.

Meeting rooms using Android-based devices are not supported.

MC392295 (Updated) Disable chat write access for anonymous or unauthenticated users Financial institutions consider chat messages as a form of data exfiltration, so it's imperative for IT admins to gain flexibility and control over chat access for anonymous or unauthenticated users. The latter may be expected to join Teams meetings, but they should be restricted from seeing and accessing any type of electronic communication on chat. This feature provides additional security by only disabling chat write access for non-federated users and unauthenticated users who join Teams meetings through a link, so it must be used in conjunction with disabled meeting chat policy applied to financial advisors to remain compliant.

MC405984 (Updated) Site Limits for SharePoint Lists, Libraries, and Subsites Updated September 19, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

SharePoint recommends a maximum of 2,000 lists and libraries per site, and 2,000 subsites per site. These have been long standing limits for SharePoint but have not been formally enforced.

There have been cases where some sites exceeded these limits, resulting in poor site performance and low-quality viewing experience. One of the most impacted areas is the API performance that degrades significantly when users access data on the sites that exceed their recommended limits. The API calls may time out or get throttled, blocking the users from opening the site or resulting in unexpected failures. In some extreme cases, the issue can impact functionalities beyond these sites.

To ensure site performance and help customers have the best possible experience, Microsoft will implement a safeguard to prevent customers from exceeding these limits.

[When will this happen:]

The enforcement of the limits will start in early February (previously early November) and will be completely enforced by late April (previously late December).

Updated October 11, 2022: We are providing updates to provide you with additional information. Thank you for your patience.

We would like to provide clarification on the enforcement of maximum count of lists and libraries per site. As described in the SharePoint limits - Service Descriptions, the service limit is 2,000 lists and libraries combined per site collection (including the main site and any subsites). Beginning February 2023, we will enforce the limit of 2,000 lists and libraries independently at the main (root) site and the subsite level. For instance, a site collection can have 2,000 subsites (including the main site) and each subsite (including the main site) could have 2,000 lists and libraries (including the hidden and default out of the box libraries).

These limits may get further re-aligned based on the service description in the future, but the timeline is TBD. In the meantime, we still recommend customers to follow the limits defined in the service description to achieve the best performance and service reliability.

To ensure site performance and help customers have the best possible experience, Microsoft will implement a safeguard to prevent customers from exceeding these limits.

[When will this happen:]

The change will only impact the creation of new lists, libraries or subsites outside the approved limits starting in February 2023 (previously early November) and will be completely enforced by late April (previously late December).

MC441534 Basic Authentication – Monthly Usage Report - September 2022 We're making some changes to improve the security of your tenant. We announced in 2019 that we would be retiring Basic Authentication for legacy protocols, and in September 2021, we confirmed that we would begin to disable Basic Authentication for in-use protocols beginning October 2022.

We previously communicated this change via Message Center: MC191153 (Sept. ‘19), MC204828 (Feb. ‘20), MC208814 (April ‘20), MC237741 (Feb. ‘21) and MC286990 (Sep. ’21).

You can always read the latest information about our plans to turn off Basic Authentication here.

Based on our telemetry, there may be some users in your tenant currently using Basic Authentication and we expect these users to be affected when these changes take place.

In the month of September, we detected the following usage:

Exchange ActiveSync: 89

POP: 0

IMAP: 0

Outlook Windows: 0

Outlook for Mac/Exchange Web Services: 0

Exchange Remote PowerShell: 0

Please note these numbers only reflect the count of unique users who have successfully authenticated to these services in the specified month, they do not reflect successful access to mailboxes or data (for example, a user may authenticate using IMAP, but may be denied access to the mailbox due to configuration or policy).

If you want to block users or apps being able to authenticate at all using legacy protocols, we recommend using Authentication Polices.

To investigate this usage further, we recommend you use Azure AD Sign-in Reports which can provide detailed user, IP and client details for these authentications.
