Microsoft 365 just dropped another 200+ changes last week. If youโ€™re not tracking them, youโ€™re reacting to them. Hereโ€™s what dropped between August 10โ€“16: โ€ข 60 new Message Center posts โ€ข 48 updated posts โ€ข 23 new roadmap items โ€ข 84 updated roadmap items Here are 6 featured updates that IT admins and MSPs should not miss: โ€ข Microsoft Teams: Malicious URL Protection in Chat and Channels (MC1123983) Teams will now block or warn about malicious links in Teams chat and channel messages. A foundational security upgrade โ€” especially for frontline-heavy orgs. โ€ข Microsoft Copilot Studio: Larger File Uploads for Agent Training (MC1124025) File size support increases to 512MB for uploads. A big win for anyone training Copilot agents with contracts, specs, or compliance docs. โ€ข Microsoft Teams Rooms (Android): Cloud IntelliFrame is Here (MC1123986) AI-powered participant framing comes to Android-based Teams Rooms. Itโ€™s set as the default for smarter, cleaner hybrid meetings. โ€ข Microsoft Copilot: Analyze Email Attachments via Chat (MC1123984) Copilot Chat now understands Word, Excel, and other attachments alongside the email body.
