summary for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams is transitioning from the older "Skype key" to the more secure "IC3 key" for Android devices, enhancing security by blocking legacy authorization and ensuring only the new keys are used.
Direct effects for Operations**
Token Authorization Change
Switching from Skype tokens to IC3 tokens without preparation may lead to authentication failures for users, resulting in inability to access Teams services.
