Collaborative notes. Controlled-content meeting templates. And leveraging Microsoft Graph for Teams transcripts.

Microsoft Teams Updates

Some features will work across multiple cloud instances, including Microsoft 365 Government Community Cloud (GCC), GCC High (GCC-H) and Microsoft’s cloud for the United States Department of Defense (DoD).

While some of the features will work across a variety of platforms and cloud instances and become generally available in October, others will have a more limited reach.

Some of these upcoming Teams features are meant for the premium version of the app, which Microsoft released earlier this year.

Teams Premium costs $7 a person a month, with other packages available for businesses and personal Teams use.

A free version of Teams is still available with group calling for up to 60 minutes and 100 participants and 5 gigabytes (GB) of cloud storage, according to Microsoft.

Other updates included on this list include:

*Unique links for external presenters

*Text notifications for appointments

*Changes for watermarked meetings

Here’s a look at some of the most important Teams updates that start to roll out in October.
