Customers have expressed a significant pain point in managing and controlling the distribution of sensitive information in email. The lack of predicates to monitor the number of recipients or domains in outgoing emails poses a risk of data leaks and non-compliance with regulatory requirements. We are addressing this issue in Microsoft Purview | Data Loss Prevention by rolling out new predicates that will enable organizations to set precise policies that trigger alerts or actions when emails exceed a specified number of recipients or domains. This feature is essential for enhancing data security, ensuring compliance, and providing peace of mind to organizations concerned about unauthorized data dissemination.

We are pleased to announce that Microsoft Viva Insights will provide more granular admin controls in Microsoft 365 Copilot for Viva Insights features. As mentioned in MC1009917 (published February 2025), Viva Insights will be included in Microsoft 365 Copilot by April 2025, enabling qualifying customers to access Microsoft 365 Copilot analytics powered by Viva Insights. You can change the settings for advanced insights and personal insights at tenant level before April 2025.

What’s new

• New controls for global admins to manage access to Viva Insights advanced insights at the tenant level (requires a Viva Insights or Microsoft 365 Copilot license)
• Separate admin controls for the Microsoft 365 Copilot Dashboard (requires 10+ Viva Insights assigned licenses or 50+ assigned Copilot licenses), the personal insights web app experiences (requires a Microsoft 365 license), and updated end user controls for personal insights

This message applies to Viva Insights for Windows desktop, Viva Insights for the web, and Viva Insights for iOS/Android.

[When will this happen]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early March 2025 and expect to complete by mid-March 2025.

[How this will affect your organization]

1. New controls for admins to manage advanced insights for the entire tenant

After this rollout, the Microsoft 365 global admin can manage enablement of advanced insights for the entire tenant in the Microsoft 365 admin center using Microsoft PowerShell cmdlets and in Microsoft Admin center. This is a tenant-level policy, not a user-level policy or group-level policy. Advanced insights will be on by default. You can turn off advanced insights if needed. Learn more about how to create policies: Microsoft Viva – Feature access management | Microsoft Learn

Note: Users cannot access advanced insights until the global admin assigns the roles of Insights admin and Insights analyst, even though advanced insights will be on by default. If you turn off advanced insights, Insights analysts will not be able to access advanced insights. Learn more: Assign roles | Microsoft Learn

2. Separate admin controls for the Microsoft 365 Copilot Dashboard, the personal insights web app experience, and updated end user controls for the personal insights

The global admin can configure the Viva Insights web experience at the tenant or user level. Learn more: Configure personal insights defaults | Microsoft Learn. When the global admin sets defaults at the tenant level or user level, these settings govern how users initially access personal insights. Users can retain the admin’s default status or change it. User documentation: Opt out of Viva Insights – Microsoft Support

As part of this update, the Microsoft 365 Copilot Dashboard will have separate admin settings from personal insights controls. Learn more: Manage settings for the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard | Microsoft Learn.

Note: If your users currently have access to Copilot Dashboard, they will be able to continue to have access to it, regardless of the admin settings or user-level settings for personal insights.

[What you need to do to prepare]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout.

Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation.

We are updating the storage location for Whiteboards created from the Teams Channel Tab App. Previously, these whiteboards were saved on the initiator’s OneDrive, which caused access issues due to sharing settings, information barriers, or conditional access policies. To resolve these issues and align with the behavior of other M365 apps, whiteboards initiated from the Teams Channel Tab App will now be stored in the corresponding SharePoint site of the Teams Channel (also known as the channel site). This change ensures seamless access for all channel members while adhering to set policies.

[When this will happen:]

We will begin rolling out in early April 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.

[How this affects your organization:]

This update will allow whiteboard files to work seamlessly for all channel members, ensuring they continue to adhere to the set policies. All channel members who have access to these whiteboards will be able to discover them from their board picker. No action is required from tenant admins as this change is managed by the Microsoft Whiteboard product team.

[What you can do to prepare:]

No action is required from tenant admins.

Clipchamp now offers an AI-powered video creation feature through Clipchamp Copilot for work. Simply type your prompt, and Clipchamp will generate a bespoke script, source high-quality stock footage, and assemble a video project complete with music, voiceover, text overlays, and transitions. This provides you with a first draft, which you can edit in the app. You can then export the video to mp4, which will be saved in OneDrive and count towards your OneDrive quota, ready for sharing. This feature is ideal for creating informational videos, video messaging, how-to guides, demos, and video presentations. Available on the Microsoft 365 Copilot plan.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 471441.

Video creator limitations

The video creation skill does not generate new video clips, animations, images, or audio. We use content in existing Microsoft 365 asset libraries to bring your video to life. Once the script is generated, we select the most appropriate audio and imagery available in our asset libraries to complement both the content and the style of your video. You can edit the video to update the script, replace the selected media, or extend the video with new content.

[When this will happen:]

• Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out in mid-April 2025 and expect to complete by late-April 2025.
• General Availability: We will begin rolling out in late-April 2025 and expect to complete by mid-May 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Controlling access to your videos: The video creation skill will generate a Clipchamp video project within the user’s OneDrive (inside a Videos/Clipchamp folder). For more information about Clipchamp, visit our An external link was removed to protect your privacy. or the An external link was removed to protect your privacy. on our support site.

Managing access to video creation: This feature is only available for users who have the Microsoft 365 Copilot plan and will not be an upsell offering to other customers. There are no admin controls provided specifically for this feature. The feature only appears when users open a new blank project in Clipchamp.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

Inform your team about the new feature and help us improve it by providing feedback. In addition to existing support and feedback mechanisms, users can provide quick feedback by clicking the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icon below their video. Clicking these icons will open the feedback dialog and allow users to enter comments and (optionally) include a screenshot or prompt information.

Coming soon: Eligible users will be prompted in the Message Bar below the toolbar in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows desktops to enroll in OneDrive Known Folder Move (KFM). Users will be able to select the folders to back up in Microsoft OneDrive.

[When this will happen:]

Public Preview: We will begin rolling out mid-March 2025 and expect to complete by early April 2025.

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early April 2025 and expect to complete by early May 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

If your organization still has users who are not enrolled in KFM, the message (“BACK UP THIS DOCUMENT: Share and work with others in this and other files using OneDrive”) will encourage them to do it while using familiar desktop apps. After users select the Open OneDrive button, they can select the folders they want to back up in OneDrive:

When users are enrolled in KFM, the files in their enrolled folder benefit from the advantages of cloud files:

• Copilot support: Files are Copilot-enabled, making it simple and intuitive to access and leverage Copilot.
• Easy collaboration: Cloud files enable sharing, commenting, and easy collaboration, with AutoSave ensuring changes are frequently and consistently saved.
• Access from anywhere: Cloud files can be accessed from Windows, Mac, the web, iOS, and Android with synchronized changes.
• Increased security and compliance: Enterprises can increase security and compliance, because all cloud files are subject to default classification, labeling, and protection (CLP) policies and auto-labeling.
• Backup: Protection from data loss due to device failure.
• Access to cloud-specific features like AutoSave and Version History

After enrolling, users can access their files in the known folders in File Explorer or OneDrive.

No action required. The feature will be enabled automatically for eligible users. If KFM is blocked in your organization, the message will not be displayed.

If an organization has blocked KFM, we will honor that and not display the message to the organization’s users.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration and notify users about the change, explaining the benefits of OneDrive and the sync process. Consider updating any relevant documentation.

We will soon introduce a new limit on dynamic distribution groups (DDGs) in Microsoft Exchange Online. Each organization will be limited to a maximum of 3,000 DDGs. After this limit is reached, admins will need to remove existing DDGs before creating new ones. Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin enforcing this limit in early April 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

If your organization has fewer than 3,000 DDGs, this change will not impact you. However, after your organization reaches this limit, you will not be able to create new DDGs until some existing DDGs are removed.

This change will be on by default and cannot be turned off by admins.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

The enforcement of the DDG limit will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your admins about this change and update any relevant documentation.

We recommend reviewing the usage of Dynamic Distribution Groups (DDGs) in your organization and removing any DDGs that are no longer needed. You can use the Dynamic distribution groups report in the Exchange admin center (EAC) to see the number of DDGs in your organization and insights into their usage. To access this report, go to the EAC > Reports > Mail flow > Dynamic distribution group report. Learn more: Dynamic Distribution Groups report in the new EAC in Exchange Online | Microsoft Learn

If your organization does not support Android devices, you can safely ignore this message.

As part of our overall security hardening efforts, we will migrate Microsoft Entra ID device registration to be hardware-bound. Since the device identity will be hardware-bound, we will retire the ability for users to enable a feature called Enable Browser Access (EBA) in the Microsoft Authenticator app and the Microsoft Company Portal app for Android. After this retirement, browser access will automatically be enabled as part of device registration.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): This change will start to roll out in July 2025. We will update this message with a more specific timeline closer to July 2025.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

No action or preparation is required from admins or users regarding this change. The change will occur automatically.

The Enable Browser Access feature will retire from the Company Portal and Authenticator apps for Android:

This change was first announced in What’s new in Microsoft Entra – September 2024 | Microsoft Community Hub (September 2024).

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.

Coming soon for Microsoft PowerPoint: Users will be able to create presentations with Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint with your organization’s brand images in two ways:

• With an organizational asset library (OAL) in Microsoft SharePoint
• With a Templafy library (a third-party solution)

NOTE: You can choose either option, both options, or neither option. The current image default option in PowerPoint is Microsoft 365 images. If you take no action, your users will continue to have access to these Microsoft 365 images.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 475055 and Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 475064.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.

This message applies to PowerPoint for Windows desktop, PowerPoint for Mac desktop, and PowerPoint for the web.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late March 2025 and expect to complete by early April 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Connecting your OAL to Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint:

After this rollout: As an admin, after you connect your OAL, hosted on SharePoint, to Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Copilot, your users will be able to create presentations with your organization’s images. Users will have a toggle to use branded images from your OAL and/or Microsoft 365 images.

To use your OAL with Microsoft 365 Copilot, you will need to:

1. Create an organization assets library for your company’s brand assets
2. Run a Microsoft PowerShell command to connect your image OAL to Copilot.
3. Make sure the images in your asset library have robust metadata (keywords, title, and alt-text) so they are searchable

Connecting Templafy to Microsoft 365 Copilot in PowerPoint:

After this rollout: As an admin, after you connect your asset library hosted by Templafy to Microsoft 365 and Microsoft 365 Copilot, your users will be able to create presentations with your organization’s images.

Users will have a toggle to use branded images from your organization’s library in Templafy and/or Microsoft 365 images.

To use your brand images with Microsoft 365 Copilot, you will need to:

1. Have a Templafy account for your company’s brand assets
2. Enable Microsoft Graph Connector to establish the Copilot connection in your company’s Templafy account setting. Learn more: How to enable Microsoft Graph Connector for Templafy Image Library – Templafy Help center
3. Make sure the images in your asset library have robust metadata (keywords, title, and alt-text) so they are searchable

To use brand images in PowerPoint, users can select the Copilot icon in the top left of any slide and choose Create a new presentation:

On the next screen, users enter a prompt to ask Copilot to build the slide outline. After Copilot responds, users can scroll down to Image settings: Only use images from my organization and turn on the toggle to access the images from the OAL or Templafy. The message next to the toggle says, “Images from your organization will be used when turned on. When off, images from both Microsoft 365 and your organization will be used”:

The new features will be available by default for admins to configure for their users. With this rollout, Copilot will first use images from your organization library before using Microsoft 365 images as backup. Users have the option to use only on-brand images by turning on the image settings. However, if you do not wish for Copilot to use any Microsoft 365 images when creating a presentation, send an email to [email protected]. NOTE: Disabling all Microsoft 365 images will severely impact the Copilot output for creating presentations. We recommend considering this option only if you have more than 1,000 images with robust metadata in your image library.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
