| MC432475 | (Updated) Quick Access Teams and Sharepoint Document Libraries in win32 backstage | Updated January 19, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. We apologize for the delayed communication. Thank you for your patience. Currently, users experience some frustration when using Office products because of all different routes that they must use to access all their content. The Quick Access feature will allow users to access shared libraries from both their SharePoint and Teams locations. When the user opens files from shared libraries, these libraries will show up in the form of a list which will encourage users to save and open files to these libraries with ease. This helps deliver a more consistent, coherent storage location experience across M365 apps. This new backstage experience won’t show up in Teams, SharePoint, or OneDrive but does include storage locations from OneDrive and Teams (sites/channels) which are stored on SharePoint. [When this will happen:] Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out late January 2024 (previously late October) and expect to complete by late February 2024 (previously late November). Standard Release: We will begin rolling out mid-March 2024 (previously late December) and expect to complete by mid-April 2024 (previously late January). |

| MC718760 | (Updated) Retirement of Post by Email and Reply by Email in Viva Engage (Yammer) | Updated April 3, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. We would like to inform you of an upcoming change that affects how a subset of users post and reply to conversations via email. The ability to create a new post or reply to an existing post directly using email will be retired from Viva Engage. Interactive emails in Outlook provide the richest way to stay engaged in Viva Engage conversations, polls, questions, and praise, without leaving the Outlook inbox. Historically, users could create new posts in a Viva Engage community by sending an email to a specific email address for that community. Additionally, users can reply to an existing post via an email sent to that conversation. These flows will stop working. Users must instead utilize one of the options listed below for their scenario. |

| MC719659 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Access work, school, and personal accounts in a single desktop app | Updated March 5, 2024: We have updated the content to show as intended. We apologize for any confusion. Starting in April 2024 and rolling out gradually, the Microsoft Teams desktop app on Windows and Mac will let you use any type of Teams account (work, school, or personal). As in classic Teams, admins can control their users’ sign-in capabilities with group policies. Users will be able to add and access their additional accounts in the upper right corner of Teams by selecting their profile picture. Teams personal account users can connect and collaborate with the people and groups in their life through Communities in Teams by adding a personal Microsoft account (MSA). (How to create an MSA). With this capability, we are also introducing changes to how you join meetings. Teams will allow users to view or change the identity that they want to use for meetings, right on the meeting pre-join screen. These changes follow all meeting privacy and security policies. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 383006. [When this will happen:] Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early April 2024 and expect to complete by mid-April 2024. Worldwide: We will begin rolling out mid-April 2024, and expect to complete by late June 2024. Users of Teams Free (Teams for personal use) will begin to see this update earlier than Teams (work or school) users. |
Updated April 25, 2024: We are addressing the feedback of the users about the account picker presence on pre-join screen in case user has one account and joining a meeting within a tenant. As a result, we will not show account picker in such cases. However this change will take place only during Worldwide release. Targeted release users with one account will see account picker in case they have just one account and joining a meeting within the tenant. Please consider it as a known issue/limitation which will be fixed with general release.

| MC726122 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: View, download, and delete Microsoft OneDrive transcript files | Updated March 29, 2024: We have updated the entire message to provide additional information. Please review the message and thank you for your feedback. We are beginning the process to standardize all transcript storage to OneDrive for Business, starting with the storage of transcripts for meetings that only have transcription enabled. Previously, meetings with only transcription enabled saved the transcript file to the meeting organizer’s Exchange Online, while meetings with both recording and transcription enabled saved two transcript copies—one that is coupled with the recording saved to OneDrive for Business and another transcript copy saved to the meeting organizer’s Exchange Online. Now with this feature, meetings that have only transcription enabled will also save two copies (one in OneDrive for Business and one in Exchange Online), but all meeting transcript entry points in Teams app will point to the OneDrive for Business copy only, no entry points for meeting transcripts will source from the Exchange Online copy. At a later date to be announced, meeting transcripts will stop saving in Exchange Online altogether and all transcript storage will be standardized on OneDrive for Business only. The rollout of this feature also improves both the experience of meeting organizers to manually delete the transcript, as well as the ability for IT administrators to apply retention policies to the transcripts from meetings that only had transcription enabled. A summary of the deletion experience for meeting transcripts is captured in the following table: UserType of transcript deletionPrevious experienceNew Experience with this feature rollout Meeting organizer/co-organizer Manually from Teams appOnly deleted Exchange Online transcript fileDeletes both copies of the transcript file from OneDrive for Business and Exchange Online Meeting organizer/co-organizerManually from StreamOnly deletes the transcript file stored in OneDrive for BusinessOnly deletes the transcript file stored in OneDrive for Business IT AdministratorRetention policies in Teams Admin CenterOnly available for copies saved in OneDrive for Business, so only applicable to meetings with recording turned on.Now the retention policy is also applicable to meetings with only transcription enabled and to the transcript file saved in OneDrive for Business.
