Items from the MessageCenter in Microsoft 365
(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Shorter meeting URLsCategory:Microsoft TeamsNummer:MC772556Status:stayInformed | Updated December 2, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. We are reducing the length of Microsoft Teams meeting URLs for easier sharing. This rollout applies to all Microsoft Teams platforms (Teams for iOS, Android, Mac, Teams devices, desktop, and web). This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 381953. [When this will happen:] Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 (previously mid-January) and expect to complete by late February 2025 (previously late January). General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-February 2025 (previously mid-February) and expect to complete by late February 2025 (previously late March). General Availability (GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early April 2025 (previously early December) and expect to complete by late April 2025 (previously mid-January). [How this will affect your organization:] Longer URLs for meetings scheduled before the rollout will continue to work. The new URL syntax is: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/<meeting_id>?p=<HashedPasscode> [What you need to do to prepare:] You may want to check if you have any integrations that use parameters from URL. After the rollout, the URL will only contain the meeting ID. Parameters such as tenant ID, organizer ID, conversation ID and message ID will not be in the URL. This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate. |
(Updated) Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365: New Scheduled prompts featureCategory:Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365)Nummer:MC816217Status:stayInformed | Updated November 27, 2024: We have the timeline below. Please note that customers who are interested in joining the preview must opt-in. To join the preview, customers should file a support ticket requesting to join the Scheduled prompts preview. Thank you for your feedback. Coming soon for Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365: A new Scheduled prompts feature that allows users to automate Copilot prompts to run at set times and frequencies in Copilot in Microsoft Teams, Office.com/chat, and Microsoft Outlook for the web and Desktop. A Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 license and a Standard Microsoft Power Automate license are required to use this feature. To be eligible, customers must also have the Optional Connected Experience (OCE) admin toggle enabled, and configure their DLP policies to allow the Copilot for Microsoft 365 connector in their default PowerPlatform environment. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 401124. [When this will happen:] Public Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-December 2024 (previously mid-November) and expect to complete by late December 2024 (previously late November). [How this will affect your organization:] Before this rollout: Users are unable to schedule Copilot for Microsoft 365 prompts to run at a specific time and frequency. After the rollout: Users can find the Scheduled prompts feature by hovering over a prompt they have submitted to Copilot or by clicking on the Schedule prompts button in the Copilot response footer (references images below). After configuring their Scheduled prompt, when a user selects the Save and activate button to confirm the scheduled prompt, a user’s prompt information will be sent to the Power Automate and Power Platform system, and the Power Automate terms of service and privacy policy apply: Schedule prompt entry points
Schedule prompt Creation dialog
[What you need to do to prepare:] Managing the Scheduled prompts feature as an admin: To continue having the Scheduled prompts feature available in your organization, no action is required after completing the opt-in process. The feature is automatically included as part of the Optional Connected Experiences admin setting, which is on by default. Admins can access the Optional connected experiences setting at config.office.com If you prefer not to have this feature available to your organization, you can file a customer support ticket requesting to exit the preview program or disable the optional connected experiences setting at config.office.com. For more information: Admin controls for optional connected experiences. If you turn off the Optional connected experiences setting, this action will prevent anyone in your organization from seeing the Scheduled prompts feature in Copilot. If you choose to make these optional connected experiences available to your users, your users will also have the option to turn them by going to the privacy settings dialog box. To prevent exposing organizational data, you should also create a data policy in the Power Platform admin center. Creating a data policy in the center allows administrators to control access to these connectors in various ways to help reduce risk in your organization. Learn more here: Data policies – Power Platform | Microsoft Learn If you disable this feature after someone in your organization has already used the feature:

(Updated) Microsoft Places app ON by defaultCategory:Microsoft 365 appsNummer:MC922620Status:planForChange | Updated December 2, 2024: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience. We’re making it easier for users to access the Microsoft Places app. This app is accessible on the web, or as an app inside Teams, Outlook and the Microsoft 365 app. The Microsoft Places app helps users coordinate their in-office days with colleagues. When work location is shared from OWA or the new Outlook Calendar, users will see others’ work locations and can decide the best days to be in the office for in-person collaboration. Users with Teams Premium will have access to additional features in the Microsoft Places app:
[When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early December 2024 and complete by mid-December 2024. [How this will affect your organization:] With this change, the Places app will be accessible by default for all users by navigating to this URL, but you need to take action to make it easier to discover inside Teams, Outlook and the Microsoft 365 app. To improve the user experience, admins can set up policies to pin the Places app for your users. [What you need to do to prepare:] If you were part of the Microsoft Places Preview and followed the onboarding instruction, access to the Places app is likely restricted to users in the ‘PlacesUsers’ Security Group. You need to take action to broaden access to other users in your tenant, as described here. If you were not part of the Preview and want to restrict access to the Places app, you can do so today by using PowerShell: Set-PlacesSettings – EnablePlacesWebApp Parameter. Access restriction will apply to the app on the web and inside Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365 app. Additional References If you want to keep the Places app OFF for the entire tenant, you can do so using PowerShell: #Connect to Microsoft Places: Connect-MicrosoftPlaces # Update the settings for access to buildings in the location settings: Set-PlacesSettings -EnableBuildings Default:false # Update the settings for access on the controllable core experience: Set-PlacesSettings -EnablePlacesWebApp Default:false

(Updated) Ensuring Security and Compliance: Keep your Microsoft Teams desktop clients up to dateCategory:Microsoft TeamsNummer:MC931401Status:planForChange | Updated December 3, 2024: We’re delaying further rollouts of warning banners and blocking pages in December and intend to resume in mid-January. We’ll have a more detailed update later. In today’s security climate, our work across the company and greater industry to keep this critical ecosystem secure is more important than ever. And while we also ship bug fixes and other new features via continuous innovation, in the end security is job one. Keeping Microsoft Teams up to date is critical to ensure your devices are secure and compliant. By default, and as designed, Teams updates automatically which successfully updates most clients in the world without additional overhead for customers. Microsoft Teams is governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy which requires that the Teams desktop client be kept up to date. This is not a new policy, for instance in MC298823 (November 2021), a version that is far out of date will become incompatible with the service until it’s updated. As documented, when a client falls out of date, the user will see:
As an example, if the Teams app is hypothetically on a version released on January 1 and the next update is fully available on January 15, an in-app alert would be shown on February 14th (30 days after the January 15th update). For reference, link to the Teams app’s version’s release dates. Also, The Microsoft Teams desktop client usage report gives you an overview of the Teams desktop clients in use within your organization. Classic Teams is not in scope for this post; see MC783985 for Classic Teams Timelines regarding end of support and end of availability. [When this will happen:] The existing policy enforcement will be visible beginning November 12th, 2024. [How this will affect your organization:] New Teams – Windows & Mac Versions desktop clients (not running in a VDI environment)
New Teams app running in a VDI environment – Windows desktop clients will follow the same policies as non-VDI environments, with enforcement starting on dates below
Note: The enforcement policies on preview rings may start mid-November. The 30d out of date in app messaging and 90d out of date blocking dates still apply (for versions released to that ring) [What you can do to prepare:] To avoid disruption to end-users, the admins with users on Teams versions older than the currently released versions, should update their users to the most recent version. Admins should make sure Teams is automatically updating to stay current and within the compatibility window. Common configurations to validate include:

Coming soon for the Shifts app in Microsoft Teams, we will expand the functionality of the time clock export report by adding additional fields from Shifts. This enhancement provides you with a more comprehensive and detailed view of your scheduling data, making it easier to analyze and manage workforce activities. This message applies to Teams for web, Windows, and Mac desktops. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422812. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-January 2025 (previously early December) and expect to complete by late January 2025 (previously mid-December). [How this will affect your organization:] To take advantage of the expanded functionality of the time clock export report, familiarize yourself with the new fields added from Shifts. Review your current reporting processes and update any relevant documentation or training materials to incorporate these changes. This change will be on by default. [What you need to do to prepare:] This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change.

Reminder: Upcoming changes to email service notification recipientsCategory:Dynamics 365 AppsNummer:MC947723Status:planForChange | Message Center is the primary channel to receive updates about your Microsoft services. Occasionally, we will send email service notifications regarding upcoming changes that require customer action, planned maintenance, or other important announcements.

Important note: This change does not affect message center email notifications. What actions do I need to take? Please ensure users who are intended to receive the email service notifications have one of the required roles assigned by January 17, 2025, to avoid any disruption in service communications. To assign a service admin role to a user, follow refer to the following articles: Additionally, review the other ways of receiving email from Message Center, or the Service health dashboard, to ensure visibility of the primary communication channels. |
