Microsoft Teams now allows administrators to enable automatic recording and transcription for Teams call queues, ensuring calls answered by representatives are captured without requiring manual action from agents. Admins can configure the feature per queue through the Teams admin center or PowerShell, with granular controls over recording, transcription, and agent access to recordings. Recordings are stored in SharePoint and accessible through the Queues app call history, giving organizations a consistent, auditable record of customer interactions. The feature is currently rolling out for Commercial and GCC environments and requires a Teams Premium license for the Queues app.

Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels now apply directly to Microsoft Entra cloud security groups, closing a governance gap that left security groups outside the classification model you already use everywhere else. The same labels you publish in the Purview portal and configure for Microsoft 365 groups and sites now carry over automatically, with no separate label setup required. That means the access controls and classification tied to sensitive data extend to the security groups actually gating that access, not just the collaboration groups around it. It’s a small config change with an outsized governance payoff for any org running a mature labeling strategy. The feature is currently in development and expected to begin rolling out in August 2026.

Microsoft Purview DLP can now quarantine a sensitive file the instant a policy is triggered, moving it to a restricted, admin-controlled location and cutting off access for every user in real time. The file isn’t deleted — it’s preserved for review and investigation while the exposure is contained immediately, not after someone gets around to responding. This closes the gap between detection and enforcement that let sensitive data sit exposed while admins scrambled to react. For SharePoint and OneDrive, that means a leaked contract, credential list, or PII file gets locked down automatically instead of continuing to spread. The feature is currently rolling out for Microsoft Purview DLP customers.

Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention is adding the ability to block specific external domains or individual users from accessing sensitive files in SharePoint and OneDrive, giving admins precise control over who can reach protected content. When a DLP policy detects a file access attempt by a blocked external domain or user, access is denied before exposure occurs, moving enforcement from detection after the fact to prevention at the point of contact. For organizations managing sensitive content shared across organizational boundaries, this update closes a meaningful gap between labeling files as sensitive and actually controlling who can open them. The feature is currently rolling out.

Microsoft Purview is expanding Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to Intune Mobile Application Management-protected apps, evaluating clipboard actions against DLP policies before sharing is allowed on managed mobile devices. When a user attempts to copy sensitive content from a managed app, Purview DLP assesses the action in real time, blocking or restricting sharing based on configured policies before the data can move. For organizations where mobile workflows are an active part of daily operations, this update closes a meaningful gap where sensitive data could leave managed apps through simple copy-and-paste actions without any policy enforcement in place. The feature is currently in development and expected to begin rolling out in November 2026.

Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows is adding support for human interpreter listening mode, allowing room participants to select their preferred language and hear live interpreter audio directly through the room system. When meeting organizers enable language interpretation in Meeting options, in-room attendees can access the same interpretation experience previously available only to remote participants, bringing parity to multilingual meetings in physical spaces. The feature is currently rolling out for Commercial, GCC, GCC High, and DoD environments.

Microsoft Purview Endpoint Data Loss Prevention is expanding its classification capabilities to detect sensitivity labels on files stored inside archive formats such as ZIP files, improving detection accuracy and giving administrators finer control over how sensitive content within compressed containers is protected. Previously, files packed inside archives could bypass label-based enforcement at the endpoint — this update closes that gap by bringing archive contents under the same DLP policy coverage as uncompressed files. For organizations relying on sensitivity labels as a primary data protection mechanism, this update ensures that compression doesn’t become an unmonitored exfiltration pathway. The feature is currently in development and expected to begin rolling out in August 2026.

Microsoft Edge now supports signing in with a Google account in addition to the existing Microsoft account option, available from the profile menu and Edge sign-in screen on Windows and macOS. Admins can control availability of this feature using the NonMicrosoftAccountSignInEnabled policy, allowing organizations to decide whether non-Microsoft account sign-in is appropriate for their environment. For users who primarily work across Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, this update simplifies browser sign-in without requiring a separate Microsoft account. The feature is currently in development and expected to begin rolling out in July 2026.

Microsoft Teams now allows event organizers save their event configurations as reusable templates in the Events app, making it faster to set up future Teams events without rebuilding settings from scratch each time.

Microsoft Purview is introducing an AI-powered DLP Policy Optimizer that analyzes existing policies, rule structures, and activity signals to surface optimization opportunities that are difficult to detect manually. The optimizer identifies overlapping rules, redundant conditions, misconfigurations, and sources of excessive alert noise — presenting prioritized recommendations with supporting evidence and suggested actions. For compliance teams managing large or complex DLP environments, this update reduces the manual effort required to maintain effective policies while improving precision and reducing false positives. The feature is currently in development and expected to begin rolling out in July 2026.
