| MC556772 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: A new default home screen and enhanced custom background feature for Teams Rooms on Windows | New default home screen The refreshed home screen with modern UI/UX updates for Teams Rooms on Windows was released as ‘opt-in’ in 4.16 app version to allow IT Admins to prepare for changes (M365 Public Roadmap #117952). In June with the 4.17 app release, the modernized home screen becomes the default experience. Please see this documentation for important checks and changes. Note that the calendar on the new Teams Rooms UI is aligning with how Teams desktop, web, and mobile communicate with Exchange – all of which do not support purely on-premises Exchange deployments. Only on-premises Exchange servers with Hybrid Configuration and AutoDiscover v2 published externally is supported in the 4.17 app and later versions. For a complete list of requirements, see Microsoft Teams and on-premises mailboxes and How Exchange and Microsoft Teams interact. If you don’t meet all the requirements listed in the links above: once the 4.17 app version rolls out and your Teams Rooms calendar stops working, you will need to roll back to the legacy UI using the Enhanced custom background (Teams Rooms Pro SKU only) On Teams Rooms with the new home screen experience and Teams Rooms Pro license: IT admins will have the option to specify up to 3 background images and identify which image is applied on the main room display, extended room display, and room console, using the following XML settings: Please carefully review the following input requirements for this feature to work as expected: Images must be in PNG, JPG, JPEG, and BMP format To avoid cropping of background images, use the following image dimensions (based on 1080p display standards) for each screen aspect ratio respectively: 16:9 – 1920 x 1080 px (minimum image dimension required for room displays) 21:9 – 2560 x 1080 px 3:2 – 1920 x 1280 px 16:10 – 1280 x 800 px (minimum image dimension required for room consoles) If a 4K image with a 3840 x 2160 px dimension is applied to a 4K display, the full image will be shown. However, if the dimensions of the image and the display do not match, the image scales to fill the frame while preserving the image aspect ratio (without letterboxing) and/or the image is cropped from the center. For example: If a 1080p image (1920 x 1080 px) with 16:9 aspect ratio is applied on a 21:9 display, the image scales to fill the frame without distorting the image, and is cropped from the center If a 4K image (3840 x 2160 px) is applied on a 1080p display, the image is cropped from the center Note that once these new custom background XML settings are applied, the legacy custom theme settings will be disregarded.

| MC533652 | (Updated) Avatars for Microsoft Teams | Updated May 8, 2023: While in Public Preview, Avatars for Microsoft Teams was supported for all SKUs. However, at General Availability, Avatars for Microsoft Teams will only be supported for the following SKUs: Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3, Microsoft 365 Enterprise E5, Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Microsoft 365 Business Premium or Teams Premium. Avatars for Microsoft Teams gives you that much-needed camera break, while still allowing you to collaborate effectively. You can add a new layer of choice to your meetings and represent yourself the way you want with customizable avatars and reactions. Represent yourself the way you want with customizable avatars and reactions. Save up to three avatars for different meeting types, such as casual, professional, and day to day. Note that Avatars for Microsoft Teams is designed for users 18+. [When this will happen:] |
Updated June 26, 2023: We are expanding the licensing for avatars for Teams to be available to additional Teams commercial customers, so more users have the flexibility on how they represent themselves in meetings. Avatars for Teams will be available for Teams Essentials, Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, Microsoft 365 E3/E5, and Office 365 E1/E3/E5. A day of hybrid meetings can be exhausting, and we believe more users having access to avatars for Teams will give you that much-needed camera break, while still allowing you to collaborate effectively. Note: If you are using any other SKU, you will not be able to use Avatars in meetings, even if you have previously installed the Avatars app. To avoid confusion and potential errors, we recommend that Teams admins block the Avatars app for users who are not in the supported SKUs. You can do this by following the instructions here: Set up avatars for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn. If you do not have a supported SKU for Avatars, you will still be able to see the Avatar feeds of other users who do have supported SKUs, but you will not be able to create your own Avatar or use it in a meeting.

| MC554156 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Two-way lobby chat | Updated June 20, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. The Virtual Appointments app provides a central hub for all your virtual appointments needs in Microsoft Teams. The app enables a seamless end-to-end experience for business-to-customer engagements. Queue view in Virtual Appointments app is a premium advanced virtual appointment feature that allows businesses to Empower employees to manage and service scheduled and on-demand virtual appointments in one location with advanced capabilities to track wait times, live status of a meeting, and more. Scheduling administrators and staff conducting virtual appointments can monitor incoming requests and process them appropriately. Two-way lobby chat in queue view will provide a seamless client experience with an interactive waiting room that allows facilitators to send waiting room messages to customers prior to the meeting. For example, a client in the waiting room can receive messages from the facilitator or other staff schedulers such as, “Last appointment is running long. Be with you in 5 mins.” The client can respond directly in chat so they can stay connected and ask any questions as needed. Two-way lobby chat is currently supported only for meetings joined from a mobile browser. Desktop browser is currently not supported. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 122395 |

In today's landscape, organizations and users utilize various authentication methods with varying levels of security. Unfortunately, users often select less secure MFA methods, even when more secure options are available. This may be due to convenience, lack of awareness, or technical limitations. To encourage the use of the strongest available method, we are introducing system-preferred authentication for MFA. This system prompts users to sign in with the most secure method they've registered and the one that's enabled by admin policy. This transition from choosing a default method to always using the most secure method will promote better security practices. If users can't use the prompted method, they can choose an alternative MFA method. [When this will happen:] We will begin rolling out in late June and expect to complete by late July. |
