MC How Affect changes

MC ID MC Title Old Value New Value MC Action required by
MC1139493 (Updated) Microsoft Teams Copilot without transcription becomes default for meetings - conversation history now persists Copilot without transcription becomes default:

Applies to new tenants and new users.

Existing users without a set policy will inherit the host configuration and receive this new default.

Custom policies will remain unchanged.

In Teams meeting policy, the default property value for "Copilot" will change from EnabledWithTranscript to Enabled. This affects how Copilot behaves in newly scheduled meetings unless overridden by custom policy.

Starting Copilot during a meeting will no longer automatically start transcription.

Transcription must be manually enabled in Meeting Options or during the meeting if users want post-meeting insights or access to Copilot conversation history.

Conversation history now persists during meetings:

Users can switch between meeting features (chat, participant list) without losing Copilot insights.

This change applies to all users using Copilot without transcription.

What you can do to prepare

Review your organization's Teams meeting policies for dependencies on transcription defaults.

Update internal documentation and training to reflect the new default behavior and conversation history persistence.

Communicate to users how to manually enable transcription when needed, especially if they want to retain Copilot insights after the meeting.

MC1148539 (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Malicious URL Protection for Teams Chat and Channels When a malicious link is detected, Teams will automatically display a warning to both the sender and recipient. This helps reduce the risk of phishing attacks.

Targeted Release: Link protection is applied only when all participants in the conversation have the feature enabled.

General Availability: Link protection is enforced if at least one participant in the conversation has the feature enabled.

Targeted release vs. General Availability behavior:

Targeted release: Link protection is applied only when all organizations in the conversation have the feature enabled. This feature is off by default and requires admin activation.

General Availability: Link protection is applied if at least one participant has the feature enabled. This feature is on by default. Admin settings saved during Targeted Release will remain unchanged.

What you can do to prepare

During Public Preview, administrators must manually enable the feature:

Go to the Teams Admin Center

Navigate to Messaging Settings

Enable the setting: Scan messages for unsafe URLs

This setting is also available via Set-CsTeamsMessagingConfiguration PowerShell cmdlet -UrlReputationCheck parameter.

No action is required once the feature reaches General Availability, as it will be turned on by default.

Learn more: Malicious URL Protection in Microsoft Teams

Compliance considerations

Compliance AreaExplanation

Does the change introduce or significantly modify AI/ML or agent capabilities that interact with or provide access to customer data?URL scanning uses reputation-based detection algorithms to identify malicious links. This involves scanning user messages and performing reputation lookups against Microsoft Defender for Office's managed collection.

Does the change include an admin control that can be scoped using Entra ID group membership?Admins can enable or disable the feature via Teams Admin Center or PowerShell. However, scoping via Entra ID group membership is not supported.

Reminder:

General Availability begins November 3 and will take 2-3 weeks to complete. At GA, "Scan messages for unsafe URLs" will default to ON as previously mentioned, and link protection will apply if any participant in a conversation has it enabled.

To use a different setting, go to Teams admin center → Messaging settings → Scan messages for unsafe URLs, select your preference, and click Save before GA.

Note: Simply viewing the page without saving will not override the default, but settings already saved during Targeted Release will persist.

[Introduction]

We're introducing Multi-Geo In-Region Routing (IRR) for Exchange Online, a new capability that helps organizations meet regional data residency requirements by allowing inbound email routing to be aligned with user locations. With IRR, admins can configure accepted domains to route messages directly to a designated geo-region, ensuring that email data is processed and stored entirely within the recipient's region-even if it differs from the tenant's primary location. This helps organizations meet compliance requirements without compromising email delivery performance.
