| MC1052162 | Microsoft Teams: Now available - new policy setting for Speaker Attribution in BYOD scenarios - Enabled ON by default | Before this rollout, the CsTeamsMeetingPolicy has a parameter called RoomAttributeUserOverride that can be set to three values (OFF, Distinguish, and Attribute) to allow admins to manage speaker attribution for their users. After this rollout, the new setting SpeakerAttributionBYOD for csTeamsAIPolicy will control whether speaker attribution is enabled for meetings joined from BYOD scenarios. The new policy setting enables voice-based speaker attribution in shared meeting scenarios where users join using their personal devices Key benefits of this change include: Ensures all participants in the room are recognized and attributed in transcripts Enables users to get the most out of intelligent recap and Copilot insights Enhances meeting room experiences through intelligent audio and video capabilities Higher usage of speaker attribution by removing barriers for licensed users Improved value realization from Teams Premium and Copilot licenses Easier customizable configurations based on customer needs |
Previously, speaker attribution was managed using the RoomAttributeUserOverrideparameter in CsTeamsMeetingPolicy. Going forward, SpeakerAttributionBYOD in csTeamsAIPolicy will determine whether attribution is used when users join from BYOD scenarios. | N/A |

| MC1035709 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Control when shared content is visible to attendees in "Manage what attendees see" | The "Manage what attendees see" feature in Microsoft Teams helps organizers deliver polished events more easily by simplifying the attendee view and keeping the focus on participants who have been brought on screen. We're introducing a new enhancement that gives organizers and presenters even more control over when shared content becomes visible to attendees. Currently, when a presenter shares content, it is automatically displayed for attendees. With this update, shared content will first appear in the Manage screen's left panel alongside other presenters. An organizer or presenter must manually bring it on screen, providing greater control over the attendee experience and preventing unintended interruptions. Once shared content is brought on screen, the presenter sharing it will now see their content displayed instead of a text message indicating they are sharing. Additionally, organizers and presenters joining from mobile will only see participants or content that has been brought on screen. Previously, users would see all organizers and presenters on their mobile devices.

As of January 27, we started implementing the update for unlicensed OneDrive accounts. For accounts unlicensed before February 17, 2025: April 25, 2025: By this date, all unlicensed accounts will transition to read-only mode. Admins are advised to check after this date to avoid an incomplete status snapshot. May 16, 2025: By this date, all unlicensed accounts will be archived.

Example: Unlicensed Date: March 1, 2025 Day 60: April 30, 2025. The account is placed in read-only mode. Day 93: June 2, 2025. The account is either archived (if a retention policy is in place) or moved to the recycle bin (if no retention policy applies). OneDrive is making changes to storage policies of unlicensed Microsoft OneDrive accounts for business and enterprise customers. These changes do not apply to customers in Education tenants.* [When will this happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): We began rolling out late January 2025 and expect to complete by late October 2025 (previously late March). |
