The Microsoft 365 roadmap website continually provides us with fresh updates, showcasing Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to enhance productivity and accessibility.
This June, Microsoft 365 will introduce a new wave of enhancements across Teams and Outlook, with a focus on AI integration, productivity boosts, user personalization, and admin controls.
What can you expect?
Copilot-powered productivity
- In Teams, Copilot will now summarize transferred calls and provide assistance in meetings and calls, as well as offer AI support in the admin portal.
- In Outlook, Copilot will rewrite selected email text, summarize attachments, prepare for meetings, and assist with role-based scenarios, such as sales.
- A Copilot Prompt Gallery will now display the number of likes on prompts, helping users quickly find the most useful ones across Microsoft 365 apps.
Better Teams experience
- You will get call waiting beeps, the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts, and a new calendar UI for education.
- Threads in channels, custom ringtones, and multiple emoji reactions to bring flexibility and make chats and calls more engaging.
- You will get background decoration, Town halls, and Copilot capabilities in GCC, DoD, and Education environments.
- Screen management for Town Halls and better call diagnostics for BYOD rooms to enhance hybrid meeting control.
Outlook gets a makeover
- The Editor (Spellcheck and Proofing) will soon be available in the standard and GCC environments.
- The Offline Calendar update will enable you to create, edit, and delete events offline.
- You can now customize mail notification sounds, drag and drop attachments between accounts, and access advanced calendar navigation.
- PST file support has been improved; you can now export mailboxes, reply, forward, and view profile cards for PST-stored contacts.
Smarter Security settings
- Outlook: You can select offline sync duration, improve contact interactions, and unsubscribe while reporting spam in a single click. To strengthen data protection, you now get label inheritance from email attachments, auto-expanding archives, and warnings for unverified senders.
- Teams: Admins gain new controls for Town Hall access, and organizations also receive the ability to block external users more effectively.
