This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap IDÂ 482199
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): Microsoft will begin rolling out early April 2025 (previously late March) and expect to complete by early April 2025 (early late March).
How this will affect your organization:
In Reports -> Usage -> Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat in the Microsoft 365 admin center, the following metrics may be impacted:
- All up active users, average daily active users may increase
- Last activity date (UTC) per user may change
What you need to do to prepare:
If you use Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat usage report in the Microsoft 365 admin center as the basis for your own custom report (i.e. by exporting information and incorporating it into a Power BI report), consider revising historical information in that report to account for potential increases to usage of active users, average daily active users, and last activity date update in user level table.

3. Microsoft Teams: Control when shared content is visible to attendees in "Manage what attendees see"
The "Manage what attendees see" feature in Microsoft Teams helps organizers deliver polished events more easily by simplifying the attendee view and keeping the focus on participants who have been brought on screen. We’re introducing a new enhancement that gives organizers and presenters even more control over when shared content becomes visible to attendees.
Currently, when a presenter shares content, it is automatically displayed for attendees. With this update, shared content will first appear in the Manage screen’s left panel alongside other presenters. An organizer or presenter must manually bring it on screen, providing greater control over the attendee experience and preventing unintended interruptions.
Once shared content is brought on screen, the presenter sharing it will now see their content displayed instead of a text message indicating they are sharing.
Additionally, organizers and presenters joining from mobile will only see participants or content that has been brought on screen. Previously, users would see all organizers and presenters on their mobile devices.

Limitations:
- Users joining through older Teams versions will continue to see the existing behavior, where shared content is automatically brought on screen.
- PowerPoint Live will automatically be brought on screen and will not appear in the Manage screen panel.

4. Microsoft Teams: In channels, the "Shared" tab (formerly the "Files" tab) will have new capabilities
Coming soon for Microsoft Teams: In channels, Microsoft will rename the Files tab as the Shared tab to enable users to view content shared in posts and content in the document library in one place. Note: The Shared tab in chats will not be affected by this change.
This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop and Teams for Mac desktop.

All existing functionality in the Files tab will be available in the In library view of the Shared tab in channels. The In posts view in the Shared tab will display all files and links shared in channel posts:

Users can use the order the files by date using the Recent view and then filter by Files or Links. Before this rollout, this functionality was only available in chats:

2. New Microsoft Outlook and Outlook for the web: New setting to enable two-click view for encrypted emails
New Outlook for Windows desktop and Outlook for the web will soon support a two-click view for encrypted emails, which requires user confirmation before allowing access to encrypted emails. As an admin, you can enable the two-click feature for your users.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap IDÂ 483883.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): Microsoft will begin rolling out early April 2025 and expect to complete by late April 2025.
General Availability (GCC): Microsoft will begin rolling out early May 2025 and expect to complete by late May 2025.
How this will affect your organization:
With this two-click feature enabled, users will be required to select View message for every encrypted email, and then the email will render. This feature ensures that users deliberately access encrypted email content, reducing the risk of accidental exposure, especially in unsecured environments like public spaces or during screen sharing:

Admins can find the TwoClickMailPreviewEnabled setting in the Microsoft Azure directory. This setting is a Boolean type with default = 0, which means the experience is disabled by default. To enable the feature for all users in your tenant, set value = 1.
Alternatively, you can access and set the value for this setting using the Microsoft PowerShell cmdlet -Set-OrganizationConfiguration in the Microsoft Exchange Online PowerShell. Learn more: Exchange Online PowerShell | Microsoft Learn
By default, the two-click setting is off.
What you need to do to prepare:
No action is required from admins unless you want to enable this feature.
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation if you plan to enable this feature.
