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.

Microsoft Ignite The Tour Amsterdam has been cancelled

on
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who have been paying attention to the media lately. MITT Zurich was cancelled last week, and Amsterdam was cancelled today. Putting public health and safety first, Microsoft has done the only sensible thing and cancelled this event. No word on Madrid later this month, or the other events coming up soon. If you have registered for any of the remaining events, you will be notified through your registered address, or you can keep an eye on the @ms_ignite twitter account for updates.
