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.

More video streams in Chrome and Edge and Lower all Raised hands coming to Teams

Here is a quick post to mention two new features I think is worth mentioning. 

The Microsoft Teams experience for users who are limited to browsers will soon be improved by introducing a 2x2 gallery view for users of Edge or Chrome. The feature should be available by mid-June according to a post in the admin center.

The tools to improve the experience of meetings is improving yet again, as a new feature to lower all raised hands is being introduced to organizers. The feature should be rolling out quite soon.
