We provide recommendations for apps that are popular in a user’s tenant. In large tenants, these recommendations are not as helpful, because they are not personalized for each user. After this rollout, the key updates to the Teams Store in the left of Teams will be:
Admins can configure the collection of apps in Teams admin center > Teams apps > Setup policies > App setup policies > Global > Installed apps:
The user view of Added by your org in the Teams Store:

This feature streamlines navigation, ensuring your important folders are always in easy reach. Before this rollout, users can add a Favorites section that scrolls down when users navigate down the list.

| Windows Autopatch: Groups device deregistration enhancementsCategory:Windows AutopatchNummer:MC926192Status:planForChange | On January 8, 2025, we are introducing an enhancement in Autopatch groups device management to improve the synchronization reliability between devices in Microsoft Entra groups assigned to Autopatch groups and the devices targeted via Autopatch groups. This update will ensure that any changes made by admins in Entra groups assigned to Autopatch groups are accurately reflected in Windows Autopatch-registered devices. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): We will roll out on January 8, 2025. [How this will affect your organization:] With this feature update, if a device that was previously added to an Autopatch group is using an Entra group (via Assigned groups or Dynamic distribution method) is removed from the Entra group, then the device will be removed and de-registered from the Autopatch service. Consequently, the removed device will no longer have any service-created policies applied to it and will not appear in the Autopatch devices reports.
Similarly, new devices added to the Entra groups assigned to an Autopatch group will be added to the Autopatch devices report and will have policies applied to them as required. Admins can review the added devices in the Windows Autopatch devices report. Note: Please expect 3 hours latency for the changes to be reflected in the service and reports. This feature update will be available by default. [What you need to do to prepare:] If you have removed any devices from an Autopatch group, they will be fully de-registered from the service. If you wish to continue using Autopatch for these devices, please ensure they are correctly added to Autopatch groups via the Entra groups. Please note that once synchronization is enabled with this improvement, the changes cannot be reverted. This will not affect your ability to add devices to the service; you can always add more devices to an Autopatch group as needed. If you have any questions or concerns or need assistance, file a service request by visiting the Microsoft Intune admin center. |
| Microsoft Syntex pay-as-you-go service: Simple document processing prebuilt modelCategory:SharePoint OnlineNummer:MC926194Status:stayInformed | Coming soon to Microsoft Syntex pay-as-you-go service is a new prebuilt model that uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and AI to detect the primary language of the file, key-value pairs, tables, selection marks, and barcodes. As with other models, it can be configured to extract this information to specified library columns. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 413430. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-November 2024 and expect to complete by late November 2024. [How this will affect your organization:] Users will be able to easily configure and apply a model to detect import elements of information in the document, including the primary language of the file text and barcodes. This is another prebuilt model, in addition to contracts, receipts, and invoices, and is available via the same service. If the prebuilt service is on, this new model will also appear in the menu.
Once enabled, users will be able to create, configure, and apply this model in the same manner as other prebuilt models. In addition to extracting detected elements, this model can also detect the primary language of the file. This information can be extracted to a Detected language column when the model is applied to a library, which can then be used for other content processing, like document translation. [What you need to do to prepare:] After the feature has rolled out, you can manage its availability to your users in the Microsoft 365 admin center. This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout.

| Entra ID: Expansion of WhatsApp as an MFA one-time passcode delivery channelCategory:Microsoft EntraNummer:MC926195Status:planForChange | In late 2023, Microsoft Entra started leveraging WhatsApp as an alternate channel to deliver multifactor authentication (MFA) one-time passcodes (OTPs) to users in India and Indonesia. We saw improved deliverability, completion rates, and satisfaction when leveraging the channel in both countries. The channel was temporarily disabled in India in early 2024. Starting early December 2024, we will be re-enabling the channel in India and expanding its use to additional countries. [When this will happen:] Starting December 2024, users in India and other countries may start receiving MFA text messages via WhatsApp. Only users that are enabled to receive MFA text messages as an authentication method and already have WhatsApp on their phone will get this experience. If a user with WhatsApp on their device is unreachable or doesn’t have internet connectivity, they will quickly fall back to the regular SMS channel. In addition, users receiving OTPs via WhatsApp for the first time will be notified of the change in behavior via SMS text message. The sender agent in WhatsApp where users will see the OTPs will be branded as Microsoft with a verified checkmark. [How this will affect your organization:] If you’re a Microsoft Entra workforce customer and currently leverage the text-message authentication method, we recommend you notify your helpdesk about this upcoming change. Additionally, if you don’t want your users to receive MFA text messages through WhatsApp, you may disable text messages as an authentication method in your organization. Please note that we highly encourage organizations move to using more modern, secure methods like Microsoft Authenticator and passkeys in favor of telecom and messaging app methods. This feature update is available by default.
For more information, see Phone authentication methods in Entra ID. [What you need to do to prepare:] This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate. |

This will ensure coherence in how users discover, install, manage and use different types of agents in Copilot. Plugins will now have their own focused chat experience and will also be referenced as “agents” ahead. This update applies to the Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences for Desktop and Web across the Microsoft 365 app (Office) and Teams. This will be followed by Copilot in Word, Copilot in PowerPoint, Copilot in Microsoft Teams Meeting and Copilot on Teams mobile ahead. Web content toggle that defines user’s preference on Copilot accessing the web for responses is moving to the “…” menu at the top of the screen as referenced below. The same control will now also be accessible in web mode.
[When will this happen:] We’ll begin rolling out these updates in late November 2024 and expect them to be completed by January 2025. [How will this affect your organization:] Users will find all their installed agents (including plugins) in the same location (right side pane within Copilot) for a focused chat experience with agents and plugins. Web content control will move to the “…” menu at the top of the screen but continue to work the same way. You can manage your agent settings for Copilot using Integrated Apps. Find more details on Declarative agents for Microsoft 365 Copilot overview. [What should you do to prepare for this change:] This post is to inform admins that we’re making the discovery and management of agents simpler and coherent for end-users by unifying experiences for different types of Copilot agents in the product.
