Thank you for your patience. You might already be aware that we made REST-based Exchange Online PowerShell v3 module generally available in September 2022 (read more here: Exchange Online PowerShell V3 Module General Availability). We will now be retiring RPS protocol from the beginning of June 2023. Instead, we recommend the utilization of the v3 module, which is where we will continue to invest our development resources. [When this will happen:] We'll be gradually rolling this out to customers in early June 2023, and the roll out will be completed by late July (previously late June). |

Stopping normalization on number that starts with plus sign (+) Normalization in Microsoft Teams was not designed to do normalization when the phone number starts with plus sign (+) as documented, but we've never enforced this in the Teams desktop or Web client. We are planning to enforce this in the future but for now we recommend avoiding this pattern. We are making this change to align with our Calling Service, other Teams services, Azure Communication Services SDKs, and other Microsoft services. Numbers that start with a plus sign (+) will not pass through any normalization rules. Translated numbers that do not start with a plus sign (+), will pass through normalization rules more than once. Please see Create and manage dial plans for more information. |

Now, the Topics app is available as a first party "Microsoft-built" app. This means the app is available in the app store for your tenant already, no upload or script-downloading required. Users in your tenant can either easily 'add' the app, like other Microsoft-built or Viva apps, or the Teams admins can select to have the Topics app pre-installed for users. |
