Our team just wrapped up the M365 Community Conference in Orlando, FL, and it was an incredible way to close out April! Our teams were energized by connecting with, listening to, and sharing whatâs new with many of you: the builders, innovators and icons of intelligent work. Thank you to everyone who attended, and we canât wait to see even more of you at next yearâs conference!
As for this monthâs Teams updates, we remain focused on bringing you features that can make collaboration more intelligent, secure, and seamlessâwhether youâre working with AI, managing calls, or enabling hybrid teams at scale.
Across meetings, calling, and the workplace, youâll find improvements designed to remove friction, from smarter call handling with Copilot call delegation, to Interpreter agent enhancements that support proper attribution for sign-language users in meetings, and updated room booking and live transcription in meetings in Teams Rooms.
In another new update, Targeted messages for agents now enables your agents and bots to send targeted, private, temporary updates to specific users in chats, channels, and meetings, without interrupting everyone else.
Weâre also delivering meaningful security and compliance enhancements, including sensitivity label inheritance for meeting recordings and Loop notes, improved admin visibility into external collaboration risks, and new userâreported security signals in the Teams admin center. These updates help organizations protect information end to end, without slowing down teamwork.
Together, these updates reflect our continued focus on helping teams collaborate more effectively, confidently, and securelyâevery day. Read on for all the latest updates!

Chat and Collaboration
Targeted messages for agents on Teams
Send private, targeted messages from agents or bots to a specific person in a channel, group chat, or meetingâwithout distracting everyone else. Agents can share timely prompts, reminders, or next steps only with the people who need them, keeping conversations focused and clutter-free. As situations change, agents can update or remove these messages so guidance stays relevant and accurate. To enable targeted messaging for agents visit this page: Targeted Messages - Teams | Microsoft Learn
Simplified Teams app bar
The Teams app bar has been simplified to help you focus on what matters. App labels are hidden by default to reduce visual noise, the overflow menu is less cluttered, and you can now choose to show or hide the app bar to create more space for your work.
New controls for quick views in the Teams chat list
Positioned at the top of the chat and channels list in Teams, quick view controls provide fast access to mentions, followed threads, and more. You can choose when and how quick views are displayed â and can collapse the section at any time.
Experts & verified answers in communities
Help community members quickly identify trusted responses with Community Experts and verified answers. In the Engage app for Android and the Engage app in Teams for iOS and Android, members can request expert status, which admins can review and assign. Approved experts are highlighted with a special label next to their names and, along with admins, can endorse accurate and credible responses. Once marked, these responses receive a âverifiedâ label, making it easy for viewers to recognize correct answers and rely on trusted expertise across community conversations.
Microsoft Viva: Engage community membership management in Teams for iOS & Android
Manage your communities on the go. Community admins can now add or remove members directly from the Teams mobile app on iOS and Android. Keep your Viva Engage communities up to dateâanytime, anywhere.
Meetings
Consecutive interpretation in Interpreter agent
Consecutive interpretation is a new mode in Microsoft Teams Interpreter that helps participants collaborate more naturally in meetings with two spoken languages.
With consecutive interpretation, the translation begins after each speaker finishes speaking. This creates a turn-based flow that more closely reflects how people naturally communicate in multilingual conversations. In addition, consecutive interpretation brings Interpreter onto the meeting stage for everyone to see and hear, making it easier to follow, participate, and stay aligned. With this update, Interpreter now supports two modes: real-time simultaneous interpretation, launched last year, and the new consecutive interpretation mode designed for back-and-forth conversationsânow available in public preview.
Accurate transcript attribution for meetings with sign language interpreters
Transcripts now attribute contributions to the original participant using sign language, not the interpreter. This ensures ideas and decisions are correctly credited to the person who shared them, including in Copilot chat and meeting recap.
Spoken language detection is now automatic
Spoken language detection is now fully automatic. Teams will automatically detect each speakerâs spoken language and update it in real time as the conversation evolves. Manual spoken language selection will no longer be available. This applies to both live captions and transcripts when Interpreter is enabled or when multilingual speech recognition is turned on in meeting options, helping deliver more accurate language recognition and a more consistent multilingual meeting experience.
Teams meeting Notes, powered by Loop
Teams meeting Notes, powered by Loop, are now available for instant meetings that started via âMeet nowâ from the calendar. Notes are Loop components in Teams meetings and chats that allow end users to co-create and collaborate on their meeting agenda, notes, and action items that can be co-authored and edited by everyone. Since Notes are Loop components, they stay in sync across all the places they have been shared. Once added, meeting notes can also be shared and edited in the Loop app in your web browser.
Resize the top video gallery in Teams meetings to see more people when content is being shared.
Now you can resize the video gallery at the top of your meeting window when content is being shared, making it easy to see more participants alongside the presentation. Simply drag the divider between the shared content and the video gallery to adjust how much space each takes up. Whether you're in a small team sync or a large all-hands meeting, this gives you the flexibility to keep more faces visible while staying focused on what's being presented, helping everyone feel seen and engaged. Available on Windows desktop and Mac.
Teams Phone
Copilot call delegation - Frontier
Incoming calls donât wait for a break in your day. Whether youâre leading a meeting or juggling back-to-back commitments, every new call creates the same dilemma: answer and risk losing momentum, or ignore it and risk missing something important. Microsoft 365 Copilot can now help answer your incoming Teams calls and schedule follow-up appointments on your behalf. After turning on the experience in the Teams Calls settings, call delegation gathers context from callers that it shares with you to help you decide whether to pick up. It can also set up follow-up appointments via Microsoft Bookings so that you remember to meet with the callers that matter most. This experience is available to users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license through Frontier early access program. Learn more about call delegation and the Frontier program.
Teams Phone user multi-line
Many organizations need a way for a single person to represent multiple departments or regions in calling without juggling different Teams accounts, devices, or complicated routing workarounds. Teams Phone user multi-line now enables Teams administrators to configure and assign up to 10 phone numbers to an individual user through Teams admin center. Supported across desktop and Teams phone devices, user multi-line is ideal for individuals who handle multiple roles or who call contacts across different geographies. For example, a communications director supporting both press relations and analyst relations can take inbound calls for either function and place outbound calls using the appropriate number, all within a unified Teams experience. Or a customer success manager covering North America and Europe can use dedicated regional numbers so that customers reach the right line and interact with a familiar local caller ID, helping build greater trust.

Workplace - Rooms

Live transcription in Teams Rooms on Android

You can adjust settings such as spoken language, translated language, and whether both original and translated transcripts are displayed side by side on the front of room display. This feature is available in Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more.
Digital signage in Teams Rooms on Android
As with Teams Rooms on Windows, IT Admins can now set up Teams Rooms on Android to show dynamic content on the front-of-room display when not in use. Configuration is available for tenant-wide and room-specific settings via the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal. The feature supports select third-party digital signage partners like Appspace and XOGO, and is included with Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more.
Fundamentals and Security
Sensitivity label inheritance for meeting recordings and Loop meeting notes
Meeting recordings and Loop meeting notes now automatically inherit your meetingâs sensitivity label. When admins enable label inheritance in the sensitivity label policy, any labeled meeting applies the same label to its MP4 recording and meeting notes, ensuring access controls and protections like data handling rules and encryption carry forward consistently. This also ensures that Copilot and agent responses based on transcripts and notes accurately reflect the meetingâs sensitivity, keeping confidential content protected end to end.
External Domains Anomalies Report
The External Domains Anomalies Report helps admins proactively identify unusual or risky interactions with external organizations in Microsoft Teams. By analyzing communication trends and detecting sudden spikes, new domains, or abnormal engagement patterns, it provides early visibility into potential data-sharing or security risks. As external collaboration continues to grow, this report offers admins actionable insights to protect their tenants while maintaining productive cross-organization collaboration. The report is available in the Teams Admin Center. Itâs updated daily, and admins can select a time range to view (for example, the past 24 hours or past 7 days).
User reported security signals in Teams admin center
This update brings endâuser security reporting into Teams Admin Center. Admins can now view and download signals from messages users report as âa security concernâ or ânot a security concernâ within TAC Protection reports, helping them identify trends and fineâtune policies and responses.
Microsoft Teams VDI Optimization for Omnissa on Windows
Microsoft Teams has long supported Omnissa in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments; this feature advances that support by bringing Omnissa deployments onto Microsoftâs modern Teams VDI optimization architecture. With this update, organizations running Teams on Omnissa can take advantage of the new optimization to deliver improved performance, greater feature parity with the native desktop client, and a more reliable experience for meetings, audio, video, and screen sharingâwhile continuing to benefit from the centralized management, security, and scalability of VDI.
Trigger workflows from messages on Teams mobile (Android and iOS)
Users can now trigger Microsoft Teams workflows directly from a message on Teams mobile for Android and iOS, enabling common automation scenarios - such as approvals, notifications, or followâup actions - without switching devices or leaving the conversation. This update extends workflow message actions to mobile, improves UI reliability, and helps close parity gaps between desktop and mobile experiences for Teams workflows.
Prevent screen capture for iOS
Prevent screen capture is now available on the Microsoft Teams iOS app. When enabled, this setting helps protect your meeting by preventing the meeting window from being captured in screenshots. This capability builds on the Prevent screen capture experience already available on Desktop Windows and Android mobile app, helping organizations apply more consistent protections across supported Teams clients when discussing confidential topics. Mac desktop, virtual desktop, and older clients aren't supported. People on these platforms will not be able to turn on their own video, share their screen, or see other's videos or shared screens.
Platform
Python support in the Microsoft Teams SDK
Teams SDK is now available in Python. With the Teams SDK, developers have a productionâready foundation for building intelligent collaborationâcentric experiences directly within Microsoft Teams. And now, Python developers can take full advantage of that platform, using the same SDK surface that powers modern Teams apps and agents. You can learn more about the Python release of the Teams SDK in the Getting Started | Teams SDK documentation.
