Summary:
Microsoft Teams admin center is introducing a unified settings and policies management experience, consolidating them in one place for easier administration. Rollout begins in June 2024, with options to opt-in or opt-out until mandatory adoption by the end of September 2024. No changes to existing settings and policies are required.

Details:
