Microsoft Teams: Only meeting organizers, co-organizers, and transcript initiator can change spoken language setting
We’re changing the default permissions for who can set the spoken language for a meeting. Now, when transcription is enabled (whether by itself or when recording or Copilot are enabled) only the meeting organizer, co-organizer, and person who initiated the transcript can change the spoken language for the meeting. This is to ensure accurate transcription of everyone’s speech during the meeting since the spoken language setting and the spoken language used during discussion must match for transcript accuracy. If transcription is not enabled, all meeting participants will be able to change the meeting spoken language.Feature ID: 471426

By setting Accepted Domains to specific geo-regions and then adding users to that Accepted Domain that are located in the same geo-region as the Accepted Domain is set to route mail to, IRR ensures that emails are fully processed and stored in the user's region. This keeps data within the user’s Preferred Data Location (PDL), enhancing data sovereignty and compliance.Feature ID: 410245

We're excited to announce an upcoming feature to enhance our Microsoft 365 offerings with a new, innovative auto-claim policy for Microsoft Loop and Microsoft Clipchamp. These two applications can be configured as a policy, allowing users with active base offerings like Microsoft 365 E3/E5 Original SKUs to automatically claim a Microsoft 365 Extra Features E3/E5 license when needed. As they engage with Microsoft Loop and Microsoft Clipchamp, a license from your tenant's pre-provisioned Microsoft 365 Extra Features E3/E5 SKU will be seamlessly assigned to them. This new feature is designed to simplify admin tasks and requirements.Feature ID: 375274
