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.

Schedule a meeting with Copilot in Outlook

on

Here is a feature I didn't realize was already out there, but scheduling meetings with Copilot in the new Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web is released. This feature, part of the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 372895, is designed to help you quickly and easily schedule meetings or events directly from an email thread.

Schedule with Copilot allows users to create a meeting invitation by simply clicking a button in the Outlook toolbar. It automatically includes participants from the email conversation, drafts a meeting title, agenda, and a summary of the conversation so far, and attaches the original email thread for reference. This feature ensures that all relevant information is included in your meeting invitations, saving you time and reducing the chance of missing important details.

The feature was turned on by default.
