| MC800837 | (Updated) Microsoft Purview compliance portal: Blanket custom retention policies which apply to all Audit recordTypes | Additional enhancements for developers in this this rollout: When a meeting begins, the app side panel is opened automatically for the user who shared the content to the meeting. Exposes shared content information for the app to get the list of content shared, display the content, and have it readily available in the side panel. Notifies the meeting participants through an experience in the meeting chat that a user has shared content in the meeting. App developers can embed the Share to Teams control on their external webapp: Using the Share to Teams control, users can select a chat, channel, or meeting to share their content to. Users can also choose to present the content onto in a Teams meeting with the Present Now feature. |
This change now allows security admins in your organization to apply a default retention policy to all of the Audit recordTypes. Previously, an admin had to manually select every single recordType in the dropdown menu of a custom retention policy. Moreover, it did not automatically include any new recordTypes added to the Audit log at a future time. With this change, an admin can simply select All under the recordTypes field to apply the custom retention policy to all existing and future recordTypes. |

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.

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. 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. |

Updated July 23, 2024: We understand and appreciate the feedback that customers have shared with us regarding the timeline provided for the migration from Office 365 connectors. We have decided to extend the retirement timeline through December 2025 to provide ample time to migrate to another solution such as Power Automate, an app within Microsoft Teams, or Microsoft Graph. Please see below for more information about the extension: All existing connectors within all clouds will continue to work until December 2025, however using connectors beyond December 31, 2024 will require additional action. Connector owners will be required to update the respective URL to post by December 31st, 2024. At least 90 days prior to the December 31, 2024 deadline, we will send further guidance about making this URL update. If the URL is not updated by December 31, 2024 the connector will stop working. This is due to further service hardening updates being implemented for Office 365 connectors in alignment with Microsoft’s Secure Future Initiative Starting August 15th, 2024, all new creations should be created using the Workflows app in Microsoft Teams We will be retiring the Microsoft Office 365 connectors feature in Microsoft Teams starting August 15, 2024, and ending October 1, 2024.
