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.

Have you tried out the new scenes for Teams Togethermode?

Features keep coming out for Teams in high speed these days. Just the other day my company Teams client was able to change the scenery for "together mode". If you turn on your together mode, you should be able to click a "change" button in the bottom left corner of the meeting window. 

For now you can select between a couple of presets provided by Microsoft. Please note the following important notes:

  • Some backgrounds have participant limitations (but the number of active participants are listed in the image)
  • When you change the background, everyone who uses the together mode will see the same image
  • Presenters may change the images, attendees may not.
