Updated September 22, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction]AI‑powered meeting assistant bots—such as transcription and summarization services—are increasingly used to enhance productivity in online meetings. While these tools can be valuable, some bots may access meetings without the knowledge or consent of the meeting organizer or the hosting tenant, which can create data security, privacy, and compliance risks.To help organizations protect meeting content and increase visibility into automated participants, Microsoft Teams is introducing a new capability that detects external meeting assistant bots as they attempt to join meetings. This update gives organizers greater awareness and control and provides administrators with clear controls to manage how detected bots are handled in meetings hosted across the organization.This message is associated

Updated September 22, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction]We’re adding new building‑level insights to the recommended actions page in the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. This update helps IT admins identify buildings with high Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR) utilization that still have bring-your-own-device (BYOD) rooms in them, creating an inconsistent user experience from room to room. These insights support more consistent meeting experiences across buildings and help organizations optimize room‑technology investments.

Updated September 22, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] To improve reliability for large-scale live events, Microsoft Teams town halls will soon support a backup Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) stream. RTMP is a standard live‑streaming protocol used by event organizers to send live video and audio to a streaming service, such as Microsoft Teams. This enhancement helps ensure uninterrupted broadcasts by automatically failing over to a secondary RTMP stream if the primary stream experiences an interruption. This change increases resiliency for high-visibility events without adding complexity for organizers.This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, and Teams for the web. It is associated with Roadmap ID 554932. [When this will happen:] General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): Rollout begins late April 2026 and c

These sections allow users to organize their chat and channels list by grouping muted conversations and meeting chats into dedicated sections that users can turn on or off. The new Meeting chats section will replace the Meeting chats filter, that was previously available at the top of the chat and channel list.
