Updated September 30, 2026: We have updated the content timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Viva Engage will stop sending email notifications to users who do not have a valid mailbox or routable email destination. Previously, email notifications could still be attempted for these users, resulting in repeated delivery retries, increased load on email systems, and, in some cases, delays to important business communications. This change reduces unnecessary email traffic, improves delivery efficiency, and helps ensure important communications are delivered reliably and on time. Users with supported mailbox configurations, including cloud mailboxes, on-premises mailboxes, shared mailboxes, and other routable email destinations, will continue to receive Viva Engage email notifications as expected. Notifications delivered through supported channels such as Microsoft Teams rema

Microsoft Teams
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.

[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. Available with a Teams Rooms Pro or Shared Space license.
