New Microsoft Loop workspace policy coming: Require Existing Microsoft 365 Group for New Loop workspaces
Microsoft is improving the security of Loop workspaces by giving admins the capability to connect new workspaces into existing Microsoft 365 Groups. This change will allow end-users to choose existing groups for managing new workspaces, providing a structured environment for collaboration. While this integration supports governance, it may challenge scenarios like automatic aggregation of Teams meeting content into a Loop workspace or creating short-term project workspaces. I recommend reading the following post on how aggregating teams meeting into loop workspaces works.
If organizations have separate workflows for creating and govern Microsoft 365 groups, now would be the time to look into them and see if they need to be updated to include Loop Workspaces (or allowing to add workspaces)
This update is currently planned to be complete by the end of April 2025 but keep an eye on Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 422725 for changes.
