A frequently discussed topic during our Microsoft 365 governance workshops is the appropriate retention period for chat messages within Teams.

A new audio-only recording option for Teams meeting suppresses the video feed from meeting participants when generating the MP4 file for the meeting recording. The idea is to better preserve user privacy during recording playbacks. Few will miss the video stream because the audio is usually more important. The audio is also the basis for the meeting transcript, and that leads to AI-generated outputs like meetings summaries and action items.| Office 365 for IT Pros
Teams users can use emojis to create or rename chat section names. By incorporating emojis into section names, users create "visual anchors" to help navigate through Teams chats and channels.

Attackers might attempt to use social engineering to trick Teams users in compromise. Trusted indicators help users understand the status of external users with difficult visual markers. The idea is that users will see the marker and realize that they should be less trusting in their communications. Sounds good.

Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers.
