At Ignite Microsoft showcased and talked about two new admin controls for Copilot and Agents. These controls drew a significant amount of attention for their potential to simplify management and strengthen governance across Copilot experiences and AI agents. These capabilities are now emerging in preview, offering administrators early access to improved insights, expanded control surfaces, and more secure operational foundations. Copilot Overview Page Refresh in Microsoft 365 Admin Center First off is the redesigned landing page for Copilot in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center (MAC), giving admins an at-a-glance view of the Copilot journey across Chat, Agents, and M365 Copilot.

A lot has happened, and more is coming to Microsoft Teams clients. Here are some of the new features for Microsoft Teams, already out in public preview (or coming soon).

Chat bubbles: Chat bubbles presents the ongoing chat on top of the video in an ongoing meeting. There is no longer need to keep the chat pane open in order to keep track of the ongoing dialogue. 
This feature can be controlled by the end-user bu selecting "Don't show chat bubbles" in the meeting menu. Make sure users know how to control this.

Include Audio when sharing from iOS and Android: Sharing audio when presenting from the desktop application has bee available for some time. Mobile devices will soon have the same capability. And this makes it even easier than before for mobile workers to participate and be active presenters from their devices.

Call health: With call health, users may immediately identify if their network or device is causing issues with the call in progress. The metrics will update every 15 seconds, and provide the user with information about roundtrip delay, packet loss and other important information.

Auto-recording of meetings: Another great feature coming to meetings, is the capability to auto-record. This is configured pr meeting and is controlled by the end user. The recording will start once the first user logs into the meeting. Make sure users are trained on this feature, and it can be a good idea to let the participants know the meeting is automatically recorded.

Large gallery pagination: The large gallery currently supports up to 49 simultaneous streams. This is being increased to 98 by enabling pagination. Users can swap between the two pages of video.
