New Feature in Microsoft Teams: Forwarding Messages to and from Channels

on
An upcoming Microsoft Teams feature will allow users to forward posts and reply messages to and from channels, enhancing collaboration by reducing limitations on the type of content that can be forwarded.  Change for users: Currently, users cannot forward messages to and from channels. With this new feature, users can select the three-dot More actions menu on any channel post or reply message and choose Forward. In the Forward this message dialog box, users can select any destination chat or channel, with channels now included in the people picker. Admin Impact: This feature will be enabled by default. Admins can control message forwarding for individual teams or at the tenant level using sensitivity labels control data important to the organization. If a sensitivity label is applied, message forwarding will be disabled, blocking users from sharing content outside the channel. The feature will according to the Roadmap ID 469508 be rolling out in January or February 2025.

More software

I have been on the lookout for a good (and free) software to secure my HD on my laptops. My employer have been using a tool for this, but we did not have licenses for the Vista OS.

But dispair not! There is an opensource alternative even here. And if I might say so, a rather good alternative. I've been using truecrypt for a while now (www.truecrypt.org), and is quite satisfied with it's functionalaty. I use the whole-disk encryption, but not any of the hidden PT or hidden OS features. 

As with all encryption software, I do notice a slight reduction in preformance of the laptop. The reduction in preformance is most noticeable during boot up and start up. Once up and running, I hardly notice any performance issues at all.

I can also reccomend to use this software to encrypt removable media such as USB drives.
