"People Administrator" does this mean they are breaking out an admin role for humans vs. service principals and AI? That would be a cool idea.
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. More context, fewer follow-ups. โ€ข Microsoft Intune: Unattended Remote Help โ€“ Remote Sign-In (MC1124018) Admins can now initiate unattended remote access to devices โ€” no end-user action needed. Ideal for critical escalations or overnight remediation. โ€ข Microsoft Copilot: View and Reference Email Attachments in Chat (MC1123983) Youโ€™ll be able to query and reference previously sent or received attachments right from Copilot Chat. Huge productivity boost for daily workflows. Thatโ€™s just a snapshot, DeltaPulse tracked 215 updates last week alone. ๐Ÿ“ฉ Want the full rundown in your inbox every week? https://lnkd.in/gSY-nfJT Microsoft 365: change is constant, surprises are optional. #Microsoft #Microsoft365 #DeltaPulse #Copilot #MicrosoftTeams #Intune #MicrosoftEntra #PowerPlatform #SharePoint #Windows365 #Purview. #MSP
