Ensuring Enhanced Noise Suppression and other
advanced features work as expected MC780744
Published Apr 18, 2024
This message is for your information and to
ensure the best high audio and video quality experience during Microsoft Teams
calls and meetings.
What you can do to prepare:
Please make sure you allow access to the
following URL https://aiinfrastructure.static.microsoft/
to all users, as per ID 184 in Microsoft 365 URLs and IP address ranges.
This is especially important for the Noise
Suppression feature that is a default experience for all users.
Changes to Administrator Permissions Required
to Create and Manage Teams Resource Accounts MC780743
Published Apr 18, 2024
This notice is regarding changes coming to the
Teams administrator permissions that are used to create Teams Phone Resource
Accounts for: Auto Attendants, Call Queues and certified Teams Call Center
applications. This change could affect users with “Teams Administrator”, “Teams
Communications Administrator” or the “Teams Telephony Administrator” role.
Currently, the underlying Team service’s
permission is used to create Resource Accounts in M365. After this change, the
ability to create Resource Accounts will leverage the Microsoft 365 admin
role’s permission to create user accounts instead of the underlying service’s
permission.
The “Teams Administrator”, “Teams
Communications Administrator” and “Teams Telephony Administrator” roles will
not have user creation permissions so this change may result in disruption in
your organization’s ability to create these Resource Accounts.
Organizations that utilize those Teams roles
will require Administrators with user creation permission such as Microsoft 365
Global Admin or User Admin to create and manage these Resource Accounts.
We will begin rolling out in mid-July 2024 and
expect to complete by late September of 2024.
Microsoft Teams apps: Updated Live Share SDK to support chat/channel tabs
and Collaborative Stageview MC779846
Published Apr 18, 2024
Coming soon: Microsoft Teams apps that use Teams
Live Share—a software developer kit for developers to build apps with
real-time collaborative features like co-watching, co-creating, and co-editing
app content—will soon support tabs pinned to chat and channels and Collaborative
Stageview. Before the rollout, the APIs for tabs in chat and channels were
only available for apps used during meetings and calls. After the rollout,
developers will be able to update apps using the existing Live Share RSC
permissions for their meeting extensions to use these APIs for more than
meetings.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365
Roadmap ID 389141.
General
Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out mid-May 2024 and expect
to complete by late May 2024.

chats with external users MC779844

with external users from outside your organization, fostering improved
collaboration, interactivity, and productivity. This rollout applies to Teams
for web, Teams for desktop, and Teams Mobile (Android and iOS).
