In the last 24 hours Microsoft announced a series of product updates spanning Teams, Entra, Copilot, Power Platform, Windows 11 and several operational notices. The announcements focus on new functionality, security enhancements and the transition of legacy features toward newer services.

Microsoft Teams – new features and security

Teams receives a range of enhancements, including the general availability of the GitHub app, granular conditional‑access controls for meetings, and new AI meeting policies. A new activity panel lets users preview chats from other accounts, while pinch‑to‑zoom improves shared‑screen readability. Defender XDR adds call‑activity hunting, centralized channel notifications simplify alert management, RTMP‑In port changes boost streaming reliability, and the Call Quality Dashboard gets a refreshed interface with dark mode. Additionally, Workflows gain a List Form trigger for automating actions based on SharePoint list responses.

Microsoft Entra passkeys – GA rollout

Microsoft Entra passkeys become generally available on Windows devices, offering passwordless, phishing‑resistant sign‑in without requiring admin allow‑listing. The same platform will also roll out passkey profiles and automatic migration for existing FIDO2 tenants, enabling unified management of corporate, personal and shared devices.

Copilot Studio – evaluation and grading enhancements

Copilot Studio introduces several new capabilities: an Evaluation Viewer role for reviewing results, agent‑status evaluation warnings, a custom graders library with ready‑to‑use Microsoft graders, and the ability to generate custom graders. Evaluation for automation flows extends structured quality checks to flow scenarios, while flexible queries in Viva Insights Analytics Workbench allow deeper analysis of Copilot usage. Users can also access existing Pages via the "/" menu in Copilot chat.

Power Platform & Power BI – notifications and file handling

Power Apps will discontinue record‑level copresence in model‑driven apps, removing real‑time presence cards. Power BI updates its subscription notifications to improve deliverability and sender reputation, changing email formatting and adding Copilot summaries. SharePoint actions that return file thumbnails will now provide an image instead of a URL, affecting existing flows that rely on the previous format.

Windows 11 – UI and app integration updates

Windows 11’s taskbar Search now surfaces Android apps installed on a paired phone, enabling quick launch from the desktop. The WinUI framework receives essential components—data tables, charts and pen inking—addressing developer requests and reducing reliance on web alternatives. The 26H2 feature update is a small enablement package for recent builds, but PCs still on older versions require a full 6.5 GB update.

Operational notices – end‑of‑life, compliance and performance tools

DoctorDO offers a troubleshooting solution for Delivery Optimization issues. Project Online Essentials reaches end‑of‑life on 1 October 2026, prompting migration to supported licenses. Cuba will remain on daylight‑saving time beyond the scheduled change. An updated Scan Cab is available for environments with Visual Studio and Excel 2016. Microsoft also released FY27 Q1 results, reporting 470 million paid seats across its cloud services.

Microsoft Viva – reduced email reply notifications

Viva Engage will limit email reply notifications to direct replies, @mentions and new posts, cutting down on broader conversation alerts and reducing inbox noise for users.
