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.

Webinar features coming to Microsoft Teams, and what you need to know as an admin

on

There have been a couple of posts regarding the webinar feature coming to Microsoft Teams in the Admin center. The Registration feature is the first feature to land, and it will be default on for all. However there are certain things an admin should know about the feature, and how to control it.

Although the feature is on by default for all, the registration page will only be available for internal users of the same tenant. If a user should need to inviter users from outside the organization, a admin have to delegate a policy allowing this action.

The feature can be controlled with the new- or set-csteamsmeetingpolicy as described here. Use the AllowMeetingRegistration or/and WhoCanRegister parameter as documented.
