| MC1059673 | Microsoft Teams: Expanded and enhanced peripheral auto-association support for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) spaces | Docking stations and webcams will now begin to appear in the Pro Management portal inventory device page, crowdsourced from the Teams desktop app. These peripherals can then be manually or automatically associated to BYOD rooms or bookable desks to automate and improve BYOD/Desk UX and provide admin insights into room UX quality. BYOD auto association will begin to receive signals and auto-associate these new peripherals to BYOD rooms. This process automatically builds a full view of your inventory for you, including what peripherals are currently located in which BYOD rooms. As a result, BYOD and Bookable Desks end user experiences will automatically activate for any user who plugs in a peripheral associated to a BYOD room or desk. These user experiences are designed to adapt the Teams desktop client to solve common user issues in rooms and desks, and includes but is not limited to the following features: (Rooms) Auto-select Room AV peripherals so that users don't accidentally use their laptop speaker and mic in a meeting room. (Rooms) Shared display mode to protect confidential information and present clean output without meeting controls or presenter's notes to the room display. (Rooms) Speaker Attribution so transcript (and Microsoft 365 Copilot) know who is speaking in your meeting. (Rooms) Disable voice isolation so others in the room can be heard. (Rooms) Room Node in participant roster. (Desks) Auto-book a desk upon peripheral plug in. |

| MC1081568 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Automatically set work location by connecting to a Wi-Fi network | Currently, users have to manually set their work location in Teams. After this feature rolls out, Teams can automatically update users' work location when their laptop connects to their organization's Wi-Fi network or peripherals. The feature can leverage the mapping between your building names and your Wi-Fi networks to set the work location of your users to the right building. It can also leverage mappings to specific peripherals, such as monitors. Teams uses the same policy to enable or disable automatic updates of work location for Wi-Fi and peripherals. Learn more: New-CsTeamsWorkLocationDetectionPolicy (MicrosoftTeamsPowerShell) | Microsoft Learn Teams will not update the location of your users if they connect after their working hours (that they can configure in the Microsoft Outlook Calendar). Also, their work location will be cleared at the end of their working hours. |
This feature allows you to map Wi-Fi networks and devices to buildings, which allows your users to have their work location automatically configured when they connect. This is a major improvement over the current experience which relies on end-users to manually set their work location.

Admins should anticipate that it takes time for all unlicensed accounts to complete the enforcement process. The initial enforcement rollout will be complete by October 29, 2025. Timeline for accounts unlicensed before July 28, 2025 September 26, 2025: By this date, all unlicensed accounts transition to read-only mode. Admins are advised to check after this date. Checking earlier can result in an incomplete status snapshot. October 29, 2025: By this date, all unlicensed accounts are archived. Admins are advised to check after this date. Checking earlier can result in an incomplete status snapshot. Timeline for accounts unlicensed after July 28, 2025 For accounts unlicensed after July 28, 2025, the account will be put into read-only mode on the 60th unlicensed day, and will be archived or moved to the recycle bin on the 93rd unlicensed day. Example: Unlicensed Date: October 1, 2025 Day 60: Nov 30, 2025. The account is placed in read-only mode. Day 93: January 2, 2026: The account is archived. If the user is still active in Entra ID but the admin hasn't enabled billing, then this is also the date on which the account will begin the deprovisioning process. Admins are encouraged to monitor account statuses based on these timelines to ensure compliance and take any necessary actions. [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). |
Updated June 6, 2025: Enforcement actions on unlicensed OneDrive accounts are ongoing. Please continue to monitor your Unlicensed OneDrive Account report, as all accounts listed will be subject to enforcement if no action is taken. To support more informed decision-making, we've introduced new and more granular reasons for why an account may appear unlicensed but and has not been deleted. This added detail should help you take the appropriate actions for each case and will be available in your Unlicensed OneDrive Accounts report no later than June 24th. In some cases, admin action is required to delete the accounts. The timeline for enforcement remains unchanged from our last update. Enforcement began on January 27, 2025. The rollout has slowed to ensure a safe roll-out with sufficient time for admins to adjust. Admins should anticipate that it takes time for all unlicensed accounts to complete the enforcement process. The initial enforcement rollout will be complete by October 29, 2025.

In addition, you are now able to identify usage of the API via the Purview audit logs in the admin center As a tenant admin, navigate to the Microsoft Purview Portal available within the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Open Audit to search for activities.

The request will be queued, and results will be available once processed. Click on the results and review each of the items. Use the UserAgent and ApplicationDisplayName to help identify the caller.

| MC836942 | (Updated) Microsoft OneDrive: Update for unlicensed accounts | To prepare for this change, admins can view a list of all the unlicensed OneDrive accounts in their tenant by going to the SharePoint admin center and navigating to Reports > OneDrive accounts (this page will be rolled out to admins between July 26, 2024 and August 16, 2024). This page will provide the number of unlicensed accounts and why the accounts are unlicensed. You may have unlicensed accounts in your tenant for four reasons: Retention period - Account is no longer licensed but is still active because a retention period setting is keeping the account from being deleted. Retention policy - Account is no longer licensed but is still active because a retention policy in Purview is keeping the account from being deleted. Active user with no license - Account is active but is not licensed. This can happen if the license is removed but the user is not removed from Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). Duplicate accounts - Account is a duplicate because a licensed user has multiple OneDrive accounts associated with them. Duplicate accounts (also known as non-primary accounts) may arise if a user has geographic move, if a user leaves and then rejoins an organization, or from other factors. After you have taken inventory of your unlicensed accounts, we recommend that you take the following action before January 27, 2025. Delete unlicensed accounts that you no longer wish to retain. Set up billing for accounts that you wish to retain. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation. *At this time, these changes do not apply to customers in Education tenants. An Education tenant is any tenant with more than 50% education licenses. Any tenant with fewer than 50% education licenses is considered commercial. However, for any education tenant, unlicensed OneDrive accounts consume pooled storage and can pose security and compliance risks. IT admins can view the unlicensed accounts on the OneDrive accounts page to identify unlicensed accounts and take action.
