| MC1134737 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Private channels increased limits and transition to group compliance | Updated December 8, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. In response to customer feedback, we are introducing enhanced flexibility, greater scalability, and streamlined compliance management for private channels in Microsoft Teams. Note: It is important for compliance managers to review and take appropriate action before migration starts for these changes to private channels. [What's changing?] Private channels will transition use a channel mailbox instead of individual user mailboxes. Organizations with compliance policies (retention, legal hold, data loss prevention, or eDiscovery) for private channels must review these policies and must apply policies to the Microsoft 365 group for the channel's team before migration begins to ensure continuity of the policy for a private channel. Existing policies will continue to apply to user mailboxes; post-migration, new data will be governed by policies on the group. Note that policies applied to the team's group can apply to all channels in the team. After the transition to updated private channels in your organization, private channels will be updated as follows. Private channels are no longer limited to 30 per team. Instead, private channels can be added up to the limit of 1000 total channels per team. Private channels can now have up to 5000 members, instead of 250. Meetings can now be scheduled in private channels. Compliance policies for private channels are part of the team's group policies instead of the individual user level. The migration of private channels to the updated capabilities will begin in early October 2025 and continue through January 2026 (previously December 2025). During this period, private channels will continue to operate normally. Admins and compliance managers should complete any required policy changes by October 2025 (previosly September), before the migration begins. Changes to private channel limits and meeting scheduling will follow in February 2026. Migration can start or end at different times for each tenant during the rollout period. To track progress, a new PowerShell command will be available for tenants to check whether their migration has started or is completed. This post will be updated soon with details on the PowerShell command. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out private channel migration early October 2025 (previously late September) and expect to complete by late January 2026 (previously mid-December 2025). Updated channel limits and meeting scheduling will begin rollout in early February 2026 and we expect to complete by end of February 2026. [Action required by compliance managers and admins] Purview eDiscovery and Legal Hold With this change, private channel data will move from user mailboxes to the group mailbox, aligning with how shared channels data is stored. Previously, legal holds were applied to user mailboxes since private channel data resided in each member's mailbox. Post-migration, the latest version of private channel message data from each user's mailbox is moved to the private channel's group mailbox. Message edits and deleted messages will not be copied into the group mailbox. Note: For users on hold, copies of message edits and deleted messages will remain in the user's preserved library folder until the hold expires, while the latest version of private channel message data from each user's mailbox is copied to the private channel's group mailbox. Before migration If a legal hold exists for a private channel, admins must also apply the policy to the team's group, in addition to the policy already applied to users' mailboxes, in order for a hold to apply to new data generated and stored in the private channel's mailbox. Note that policies applied to the team's group can apply to all channels in the team. Screenshot 1: Setting up a new hold in Microsoft Purview compliance portal.

| MC1189656 | (Updated) Upcoming Change to Teams Desktop Client on Windows | Updated December 17, 2025: We understand that implementing the current guidance involves considerable effort for administrators, and we are actively working to reduce this impact. We are exploring ways to make policy changes as seamless as possible, in close partnership with the Windows team. Given this ongoing work, we recommend pausing any testing or configuration updates related to this feature. Updated instructions and revised guidance will be shared as part of the formal communication planned for January 2026. Thank you for the valuable feedback we've received. We are currently reassessing the rollout timelines to ensure alignment with your needs and operational requirements. You can expect a formal update from us by mid to late January 2026. [Introduction] We're improving the performance and startup time of calling features in the Microsoft Teams Desktop Client for Windows. To achieve this, we're introducing a new child process named ms-teams_modulehost.exe that will handle the calling stack separately from the main application process (ms-teams.exe). This change optimizes resource usage and enhances meeting experiences. [When this will happen:] Updated rollout timing will be announced in January 2026 Note: Timelines may shift due to year-end feature flag rollout freeze. |
Updated January 15, 2026: We are canceling a proposed change related to renaming the existing Calling and Meetings executable. No action is required from administrators. This change did not introduce a new binary. It involved renaming the existing executable used for Calling and Meetings as a workaround for a Windows compatibility issue. What Happened? To reduce administrative effort, we partnered with the Windows team to deliver the fix for a Windows compatibility issue. With the Windows fix now fully rolled out in Windows 24H2 and 25H2, the executable name change is no longer required and has been rolled back. Was this a security, reliability, or compliance issue? This was not a security or compliance issue. It was a platform compatibility issue in Windows. No customer data, identity, or tenant configuration was at risk. Was my tenant impacted? Only organizations participating in our Technology Adoption Program (TAP) were affected. Specifically, the change applied only to the TAP Admin earlyadopter subset (Ring 1.5). If your organization does not participate in the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program, you were not impacted in any way. The change has been fully rolled back for TAP participants, with no lasting configuration or behavioral changes on client machines. No administrator action is required. What if we haven't deployed recent Windows updates yet? We understand that many enterprises deploy Windows cumulative updates on managed timelines. There is no risk or degradation if the referenced Windows KBs are not installed. New features that depend on these Windows updates will explicitly check for the presence of the required KBs and will only enable when they are available. If the KBs are not installed, those features simply remain disabled-no functionality breaks and no admin action is required. Windows updates that include the fix The Windows compatibility fix is included in Windows updates for versions 24H2 and 25H2, delivered through KB5068861. What to expect next?
