Details:

Administrators using the Microsoft 365 admin center and Teams admin center who manage agents and apps that work across Teams, Outlook and the Microsoft 365 copilot will be able to apply their changes consistently across all these surfaces. Before this update, changes made through the Integrated Apps section in the Microsoft 365 admin center would only affect these apps on Outlook and the Microsoft 365 copilot; similarly, changes made in the Teams admin center would exclusively affect Teams. With this change, app and agent availability will be unified across Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365 copilot.

Imagine you have a remote control that can only change the channels on your living room TV, but not the one in your bedroom. If you wanted to watch the same show in both rooms, you'd have to go to each TV and manually change the channel. This was the situation with managing apps and agents across Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 copilot. Previously, if you made changes in the Microsoft 365 admin center, they would only apply to Outlook and the copilot, while changes in the Teams admin center would only affect Teams.

Now, think of this update as getting a universal remote control that works for all your TVs. With this new feature, administrators can make changes in one place, and those changes will automatically apply across Teams, Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 copilot. This means you don't have to go to each "TV" (or platform) separately to ensure everything is set up the way you want. It's a more streamlined and efficient way to manage your apps and agents, ensuring consistency and saving time.

This unified approach simplifies the process, much like having a single remote control simplifies managing multiple TVs. It's about making things easier and more consistent across the board, so you can focus on more important tasks without worrying about whether everything is in sync.
