New feature, Admin impact

Details:

Coming soon: We will introduce a new Microsoft Teams PowerShell setting in Tenant Federation Configuration to enable you to customize your federation posture. Tenant administrators will be able to define a list of external trial tenants to be whitelisted for federation, while maintaining the default block on overall federation with trial-only tenants.
[When this will happen:]
General Availability (Worldwide): The new setting is available now in Teams PowerShell. If populated, the allowed trial tenant domains list will start to take effect in mid-February 2025.
Note: This feature requires no immediate admin action, and there will be no impact if the list is not populated.
