Summary:
A new “What’s New” section in the Teams Admin Center will launch worldwide from mid-November to early December 2025. It provides admins with tenant-specific updates, new controls, resources, and Targeted Release visibility. The feature is on by default, requires no setup, and helps admins stay informed and act quickly.
Details:
[Introduction]
We're introducing a new "What's New" section in Microsoft Teams Admin Center-a centralized hub designed to help Teams admins stay informed about recent and upcoming feature updates. This in-context experience consolidates key changes, admin controls, and learning resources, making it easier for IT admins to act quickly and confidently.
With this new experience, admins can:
View updates relevant to their tenant, including Teams and Teams Admin Center changes.
Access new admin settings, policies, and Microsoft Learn resources.
Check visibility for Targeted Release preferences.
This means less time searching, more time acting-helping admins stay informed and ready for change.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout will begin in mid-November 2025 and is expected to complete by early December 2025.
