| MC1019312 | (Updated) Microsoft Teams: Meeting Participants Can Request Collaborative Annotation Sessions | After the rollout, meeting participants who are not sharing their screens will have the ability to request an annotation session. This request will be sent to the presenter sharing their screen, who can choose to accept or deny it. Meeting Organizer Settings (Meeting Options) A new "Who can start annotations?" option appears under the Participation section in Meeting Options.

For meetings created before rollout, the setting will be Active Sharer to match the current behavior where only the active sharer can start annotations. Organizers and co-organizers must manually update existing meetings if they want to enable the new behavior for those meetings.
Participant Annotation Request Flow Confirm the request in the dialog box. Once approved, annotations start request will be sent to active sharer Request sent notification confirms the request is pending and the presenter needs to approve it. Presenter Approval Experience |

| MC929022 | (Updated) Microsoft Loop – Require Existing Microsoft 365 Group for New Loop workspaces | Once Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422725 is available, end-users will have the ability to choose existing Microsoft 365 Groups for managing new Loop workspaces. This means that new Loop workspaces can optionally be connected to and managed by an existing Microsoft 365 Group, similar to how SharePoint Team sites are managed. Additionally, Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422725 covers the capability to ensure that new Loop workspaces are connected to and managed by an existing Microsoft 365 Group, similar to SharePoint Team sites (it will not be an option for users to skip selecting an existing Microsoft 365 group if this policy is configured). While this setting may align with existing governance processes, it's important for admins to note that scenarios like automatic aggregation of Teams meeting content into a Loop workspace, or the creation of small, short-term project workspaces, will be more challenging for end-users unless they can skillfully select an existing M365 group during creation. Please consider this tradeoff in your adoption strategy. If your organization has governance tools for SharePoint Communication sites that work effectively in a reactive manner (i.e., governance is applied after the site is created), Microsoft recommends extending this process to include Loop workspaces rather than using this policy. |

Thank you for your patience. [Introduction:] As part of the Microsoft Secure Future Initiative (SFI) and in alignment with the "Secure by Default" principle, we're retiring the legacy IDCRL (Identity Client Run Time Library) authentication protocol in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. This change helps strengthen your organization's security posture by enforcing modern authentication standards-OpenID Connect and OAuth-which reduce exposure to outdated and vulnerable authentication methods. [When this will happen:] Starting February 16, 2026: Legacy client authentication will be blocked by default. Organizations may temporarily re-enable it using PowerShell until April 30, 2026. Starting May 1, 2026: Legacy client authentication will be permanently blocked and cannot be re-enabled. |

| MC1189000 | (Updated) Updated UI for Copilot Chat entry point in Word, Excel and PowerPoint apps | [Introduction] We're updating the Copilot Chat experience in Microsoft 365 apps by moving the entry point button out of the ribbon and into the document canvas. This change makes Copilot Chat easier to discover and use, and introduces curated, contextual prompt suggestions relevant to the current document or selection. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout begins early December 2025 and is expected to complete by late March 2026. Word, Excel, PowerPoint (Web, Desktop, Mobile): rollout will start for a % of Small Business and Enterprise users without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license who have pinning enabled. These users will see the entry point for Copilot move out of the ribbon, represented by the icon pictured below. We will continue the rollout progressively for users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license in the new year. |
Updated May 11, 2026: We have updated the timeline and content. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] We're updating the Copilot experience in Microsoft 365 apps with simplified entry points for easier discovery and connection to Copilot in the context of working inside of Word, Excel, PowerPoint. In addition to the simplified UI outlined below, users will also see curated suggestions designed to help them get started with Copilot to edit their documents. We're reducing the number of entry points to Copilot in Word, Excel and PowerPoint so Copilot feels consistent, predictable and integrated with in-app workflows. The new UI includes: A Copilot Dynamic Action Button (DAB) at the bottom-right corner of the screen replacing the static button in the ribbon. This is an always-available, in-app Copilot primary entry point. The button allows a user to "dock" or move it to the side when they want to focus on the content. A user can right-click the Copilot button and select Dock or drag the icon to dock to the right of the content (or left of content for right-to-left locales). To re-engage with Copilot, a user simply clicks the smaller icon or drag it back to the canvas. A contextual entry point on the canvas appears when a user selects text or takes action on canvas with Copilot. Suggested User Actions (SUAs) show on hover from the Copilot Dynamic Action Button to offer contextual prompts that help a user know how to engage with Copilot. Keyboard and screen reader access: The ability for to work with Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps when using a keyboard and screen readers has also been simplified. For users who have been using Alt + H, F, X to open the Copilot pane in Word, Excel and PowerPoint, they can now press F6 to give focus to the Copilot button and then use the up arrow to move between suggested prompts. Over time, Copilot keyboard shortcuts are being unified across Microsoft 365 apps and platforms, bringing consistency and supporting keyboard-first users and anyone using a screen reader. The updated shortcuts listed below are already available in Outlook and Word (Windows and Mac), with other apps coming soon.
