MC661241 (Updated) Deploy new Microsoft Teams with Microsoft 365 apps Depending on which update channel you're using and our deployment schedule below, the new Teams application will start installing with Microsoft 365 apps. The following shows the schedule.

The planned rollout for deploying new Teams with Microsoft 365 apps and showing the toggle will be:

Business plans (for example, Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, and Teams Essentials (AAD), etc.): September 2023.

Enterprise plans (for example, E3, E5, F3, etc.): reference this article.

[How to opt-out from this change:]

Note: The control to opt-out is available now. We will update this Message center post to notify you once it is available.

To prevent the automatic installation of the new Teams app, sign into the Microsoft 365 apps admin center (https://config.office.com) with an admin account. Then, go to Customization > Device Configuration > Modern Apps Settings. Select Microsoft Teams (work or school) and then clear the Enable automatic installation of new Microsoft Teams check box. However, we would recommend leaving the setting as is for the best Teams experience.

More details can be found in our technical documentation.

MC470137 (Updated) Email notifications for "Issues in your environment that require action" Updated July 13, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

In December 2021, a new section was added to the service health page in the Microsoft 365 admin center, featuring "Issues in your environment that require action." These types of issues are not caused by Microsoft services being unhealthy, but by something specific to your organization that require an admin to take action.

To ensure that these notifications successfully reach you, an email will now be sent automatically each time a new issue is posted.

If you do not want to receive these email notifications, you can adjust your email preferences by clicking the "Customize" button on the service health page.

MC513601 (Updated) Stream live events replacement service This is an important message for customers who use Stream (Classic) or Yammer to create and host Stream live events. Microsoft will retire the Stream live events service on September 15, 2023. Microsoft Teams live events, with encoder support, will become your new platform to host and run live events.

For several years Microsoft has offered two venues for hosting live events -- Stream and Teams. While both services allow you to create live events, each had a slightly different set of capabilities and limitations. Our goal is to provide you with a single, simple, robust solution for hosting live events.

Teams live events with encoder support is the replacement service to Stream live events. Teams live events is now rolling out the general availability of encoder support (see Roadmap ID 84960), which will allow you to create, host and produce live events with the same functionality that you get with Stream. Teams live events will support 10,000 simultaneous event attendees and Real-Time Messaging Protocol input (RTMP-In). RTMP-in lets you create highly polished events that feature combined live streams, screen overlays, on-screen data and more.

Users will also get two other benefits from using Teams live events:

The option to allow public anonymous attendees to attend Teams encoder live events.

Enhanced playback of recorded events with the option to add closed captions, transcripts, chapters, and comments.

If you use Yammer to create and host live events you will be able to continue using Stream Live Events in Yammer until September 15, 2023. Additionally, you’ll soon be able to select Teams within Yammer to run your event.

[When this will happen:]

Teams live events with encoder support began its general availability roll out on February 1, 2023, and we expect the rollout to complete by February 15, 2023.

The Stream live events service will be retired on September 15, 2023.

Updated August 24, 2023: To ensure organizations have time to make necessary changes we are updating the timing of this change from September 15, 2023, to January 30, 2024.

Transcription (RTMP transcript only) and recording are available for both public and in-tenant encoder events. With in-tenant encoder events, the organizer will have ability to edit the video recording and upload it to SharePoint so that attendees who missed the event can view it.

MC542827 (Updated) Visio Organizational Trial offering Updated July 18, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Beginning in May, we are enhancing our trial offering for Visio (MC306669, December 2021) by allowing users to sign up for a trial license, or request for a paid license with their AAD account. This update gives admins oversight and control over self-service trials and license requests. It also removes the need for users to input payment information when initiating a Visio trial.

Previously, self-service trials required a user to input payment information, requiring admins to take additional steps to manage billing and licensing. With this new enhancement, users will be able to start a trial without payment information or submit a request for a license directly in-product. Once a request is submitted by a user, admins will see a notification on the Microsoft 365 admin center’s home page.

To access the license request page in the admin center, go to the Billing > Licenses page, then select the Requests tab. Multiple requests can be approved/rejected at once.

[When this will happen:]

These capabilities will be rolled out starting late July 2023 (previously mid-July) and expected to complete by mid-August 2023 (previously early August).

In Nov ‘22, Power BI (PBI) launched the preview of integration with Microsoft Graph, with the goal to increase discovery of PBI reports, dashboards and apps across several surfaces like Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Bing @ Work.

This setting allows users in your org to see certain Power BI metadata (such as content titles and types, or open and sharing history) in Microsoft 365 services like search results and recommended content lists. Metadata from Power BI datasets are not displayed.

For example, a report that was shared with you in Teams or Outlook, will now appear in Microsoft 365 Home, SharePoint or Bing @ Work. You can also search for Power BI items in Microsoft 365 Home.

This setting applies only if your Power BI and Microsoft 365 tenants are in the same geographical region.
