The Microsoft 365 Admin Center will be updated to allow managers to perform a streamlined Teams app management across Teams, Outlook, and Microsoft 365 App.
According to the latest entry in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, starting in May 2024, administrators who manage apps that work on Outlook, and the Microsoft 365 App will be able to perform unified management across all these 3 platforms.
Until now, all of the changes made to these apps using the Integrated Apps section (which should provide a unified management experience) would only impact certain apps. With this change, however, all the changes made to these apps in the 365 Admin Center, will affect all of them at once.
Here’s what the entry says:
Administrators using the Microsoft 365 admin center and Teams admin center who manage Teams apps that work on Outlook and the Microsoft 365 App will be able to apply their changes across all three clients (Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365 App). Before this update, changes made through the Integrated Apps section in the Microsoft 365 admin center would only affect these apps on Outlook and the Microsoft 365 App; similarly, changes made in the Teams admin center would exclusively affect Teams. With this change, management of these apps will be unified across Teams, Outlook and Microsoft 365 App.

The changes will impact admins everywhere. Curiously enough, the Microsoft 365 admin center was plagued with some strange issues that affected users on a global scale: some of its parts were displayed in Croatian when accessed from certain browsers.
With this being said, the 365 Admin Center will also be updated to support organizational messages, allowing managers to edit and schedule organizational messages on Windows 11.
Microsoft is adding them in the Reports section of the 365 admin center, and managers and admins will have a variety of capabilities and features that will allow them to create new messages, review delivery reports, and so on.
