Changes span Teams, Outlook, Microsoft 365 Apps, Entra, Edge, Copilot, and core admin and licensing areas. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we track these releases so our clients do not have to. Below is our roundup of the changes most likely to affect your organisation, and what we would suggest keeping an eye on. Microsoft Teams Updates Multiple phone lines on Teams mobile: Users will be able to manage several assigned phone numbers directly within the Teams mobile app, useful for anyone covering multiple roles or regions. Rolling out mid to late June 2026. Guest invitation emails sent from the inviter’s address: Guest invites will come from the inviter’s own email address rather than a no-reply address, making replies easier. Rolling out late June to late July 2026. Shared and delegate mailbox scheduling for events: Executive assistants and delegates will be able to organise events on behalf of leaders using shared or delegated mailboxes, so invitations come from a recognised organisational address. Rolling out early to late July 2026. Link Teams meetings to existing Planner plans: Meetings can now be linked to an existing Planner plan instead of automatically spinning up a new one, keeping related tasks in one place. Rolling out late July to late August 2026. Automatic recording and transcription for Call Queues: Calls handled by call queue representatives can be recorded and transcribed automatically, supporting quality assurance and training. Requires a Teams Premium licence. Rolling out early to mid-August 2026. Microsoft Outlook Grouped notifications: Outlook will automatically group email notifications that arrive within a few seconds of each other into a single alert, cutting down on notification fatigue. Rolling out late June to late July 2026. Microsoft 365 Apps OneDrive Shortcuts folder: Users will be able to save new shortcuts to a dedicated Shortcuts folder instead of the OneDrive root, reducing clutter. Rolling out mid to late July 2026. OneDrive moves to the cloud.microsoft domain: OneDrive URLs are transitioning to the cloud.microsoft domain. Existing links will continue to work, with both domains running side by side indefinitely. Rolling out from early July 2026 through to late June 2027. Pay-as-you-go SharePoint storage: A new consumption-based billing option lets organisations pay only for the additional SharePoint storage they actually use, rather than pre-purchasing extra capacity. Rolling out September to October 2026. Microsoft 365 Archive file-level archiving (General Availability): Individual SharePoint files can now be archived into a cold storage tier while remaining discoverable. Rolling out early to late July 2026. Microsoft Entra Conditional Access now applies to Windows Hello for Business and macOS Platform SSO registration: Conditional Access policies scoped to security information registration will now be enforced when users set up Windows Hello for Business or macOS Platform SSO, closing a gap where only MFA was previously enforced. Complete for all tenants from 13 July 2026. SSPR will require registered authentication methods: Self-service password reset will no longer accept directory-sourced contact details such as mobile or alternate email. Users must have explicitly registered authentication methods instead. Registration prompts begin 6 July 2026, with enforcement from 7 September 2026. Device Soft Delete: Deleted device objects in Microsoft Entra ID move to a suspended, recoverable state for up to 30 days rather than being permanently removed straightaway. Currently in preview. Microsoft Edge Extensions monitoring in the Edge management service: Administrators gain greater visibility and control over browser extensions used across the organisation. Rolling out mid-June 2026. Microsoft Copilot Real-time screen sharing in Copilot voice sessions: Microsoft 365 Copilot users will be able to share their screen or mobile camera and ask Copilot questions about what they’re seeing. Rolling out late June 2026, generally available by late July 2026. Branded presentations in Copilot for PowerPoint: Users will be able to select a brand kit when generating content, producing on-brand presentations by default. Rolling out mid to late June 2026. Organisation-published prompts for Copilot Chat: Administrators can now centrally publish curated prompts that reflect organisational priorities and approved workflows, rather than leaving employees to discover effective prompts on their own. Rolling out early to late July 2026. Copilot Cowork reaches General Availability: Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork became generally available worldwide from 16 June 2026, with usage-based billing enforced from 1 July 2026. Work IQ API reaches General Availability: Work IQ, the underlying intelligence layer for agentic workloads, reached GA on 16 June 2026 with billing via Copilot Credits. Microsoft Scout, an always-on personal agent: Microsoft’s first “Autopilot” agent works autonomously across Teams, Outlook, OneDrive and SharePoint within your organisation’s permissions and policies. Available now in preview via Frontier on Windows and macOS; no General Availability date yet. Copilot Notebooks for Basic users: Copilot Notebooks are being extended to users on Copilot Chat (Basic) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (Basic), not just those with a full Copilot add-on licence. Rollout begins mid-June 2026. Improved complex editing in Copilot for Word: Copilot in Word gains native support for tracked changes, comments, document structure and page elements while preserving formatting and collaboration history. Rolling out early June to early July 2026. Outlook emails as references in Copilot Notebooks: Emails can now be added as references alongside files, giving Copilot more context for relevant outputs. Rolling out early to late July 2026. Explicit grounding integration in Excel’s Copilot agent: Users can upload and process files directly to ground AI responses in their own data, improving accuracy across large or multiple datasets. Rolling out late April to late June 2026. Microsoft Admin and Licensing App governance expands to all Entra service principals: Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps now covers all Entra service principals, not just those with API permissions, improving visibility of non-human identities and Entra role assignments. Rolling out late June to early July 2026. Defender for Endpoint updates move to Microsoft Update: EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update rather than bundled with the monthly Windows security update, allowing them to ship independently. Expected complete for Windows 10 and 11 by autumn 2026. Advanced Intune capabilities added to Microsoft 365 E3 and E5: Advanced Microsoft Intune Suite capabilities become part of these packages from 1 July 2026, with eligible tenants expected to receive them by August 2026. New Microsoft 365 Business with Copilot SKUs from 1 July: Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot and Business Premium with Copilot become permanent, always-on SKUs, with list pricing of $23.50 and $32 per user per month respectively. New licensing prerequisite for Agent 365: From 1 June 2026, new Microsoft Agent 365 purchases require Microsoft 365 E5 as a foundation licence, ensuring the necessary security, identity, compliance and management capabilities are in place first. What We’d Suggest Doing Next None of the above needs an immediate reaction, but a few things are worth keeping on your radar this month. If your organisation relies on SSPR, check that staff have registered proper authentication methods well ahead of the 7 September 2026 enforcement date. If you are running or planning Copilot deployments, the pace of change here is significant, from Cowork’s move to General Availability to new Notebook and grounding features, so it is worth a periodic review of what your licensing already includes. If you are exploring Agent 365, remember it now requires a Microsoft 365 E5 foundation licence, which may change the shape of a planned rollout. As always, contact your account manager or drop us a line if you would like a tailored review of what any of the above means for your specific Microsoft estate. 0204 511 9111 or sales@speedster-it.comLouiseWith over 15 years at Speedster IT, I’ve built a career around helping businesses navigate the evolving world of technology.
