Regaining Control Over Unmanaged GenAI Apps: New Microsoft Purview Enhancements in Edge

on
Many organizations are growing increasingly concerned about the widespread use of unsanctioned Generative AI (GenAI) tools. These apps, often accessed through unmanaged browsers, pose significant risks to data security and compliance. To help with this, Microsoft is now updating some features in  Microsoft Purview that will enhance policy enforcement for unmanaged cloud apps accessed via the Edge browser.  What’s Changing? Previously, enforcing Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Collection policies required manual creation of Edge configuration policies. These policies were often complex and needed to be scoped correctly to block unsupported browsers or apply protections. With this update, Microsoft automates much of that process: Collection Policies now apply directly within Edge without needing a separate blocking configuration. DLP Policies automatically generate Edge configuration policies that align with the scope of the DLP rules. DLP policies can operate in two mode...

Include audio from the mobile device, Chat bubbles and Telemetry in Microsoft Teams (and more..)

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.
