Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels: Sensitivity label grouping modernization coming this fall (?)

on
There is a change coming to Microsoft Purview Information Protection that simplifies sensitivity label architecture. The goal is to make label management easier, more scalable, and less rigid for organizations. The new model will only include standalone labels and sublabels. Parent labels will be replaced by label groups, which act as organizational containers. These groups cannot be applied to content and have no actions or scope, but they retain color and priority for visual organization. Hopefully, this change will make it much easier to move labels around and make other changes in production: for example, converting a standalone label into a sublabel or moving sublabels between groups without breaking dependencies.  From my experience, this update solves one of the biggest challenges in large environments: rigid label hierarchies.

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

on

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.
