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.

Move from SFBOnline to MicrosoftTeams powershell module

on

Microsoft recently announced the new MicrosoftTeams PowerShell module now include both SFBO and Teams commands, and is is no longer necessary to load both modules when operating with both SFBO and Teams features in the cloud.

This change can also be the reason why install-module MicrosoftTeams fails. I would recommend to un-install the old modules to avoid conflicts. This can be done through the computer's add/remove programs in the control panel. Alternatively use the -allowclobber switch.

Here is how to upgrade or install the new module.
