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.

Powerpoint presenter view now available in Teams Public Preview

on

 

Powerpoint presenter view is now available in the public preview of Teams. This feature will let you control a presentation, much in the same way you control a regular presentation. 

Among some awaited functionality are the thumbnails for easy access, and the notes section where you can read the notes for each slide.

If you pass control to another presenter they will also get the same experience. 

The presenter view is the default view when sharing a powerpoint directly from the sharing action in a meeting.

If you want to participate in the public preview to get early access to features like this, your IT admin need to set an update policy that turns on Show preview features. This is how to do it
