Data Lifecycle Management: Separate Copilot retention policies from Teams chats

In a previous post I mentioned how Microsoft is adding the capability to use Purview Data Loss Prevention on Copilot to block certain information from surfacing for the user. Now, Microsoft is adding Copilot to it's retention policy controls, and starting mid-February, public preview tenants can start exploringthis new feature. Admins will be able to create separate retention policies for Microsoft Teams chats and Microsoft 365 Copilot interactions, and allows for a more tailored data management. The feature will of course require that the targeted users have Microsoft 365 Copilot license.  According to the message center, the public preview will be during February, and we can hope for a general release sometime in March. The feature will be available by default, but policies will have to be set up.

Forms polls are coming to Teams meetings

Microsoft 365 Roadmap item 68837 announcing polls in Teams meetings is bringing one more feature from Skype for Business meetings into Teams. A simple (or more advanced) poll when the presenter would like to ask questions and get feedback from the audience.

The feature should be rolling out soon and be completed by med December, according by the Roadmap Item. There is more information about it in a techcommunity post on news from Ignite earlier this year.


Ps: Did you know Teams meetings (in preview mode) supports a full screen mode now? All according to this techcommunity post. It was rolled out in October.
