Microsoft Teams had several import releases in the month of September 2025. Here are the top ones that caught my attention:
- Agents in channels (Public Preview): Each channel can now have a Channel Agent that becomes an expert on information within that Teams Channel. The Agent will be named after the Channel, and will help with common tasks such as identifying important deadlines buried in the conversations, summarizing status, assigning tasks and answering questions.
- Threads in Channels: I was really happy to see this. You now have the ability to reply to specific messaging, while keeping conversations grouped together preserving the flow and context of a conversation.
- Enhanced AI thread summary in Channels: Now there are AI-generated thread summaries available in a post/reply and threaded channels. This really helps with lengthy conversations. Now you do not have to scroll around to read information; you have a summary right there for you to scan before you post something.
- Meeting Facilitator Agent is now GA. This Agent helps keeps meetings focused and organized. The agent will set an agenda based know the invitation and inferred goals from the discussion, it will keep conversations on track with visible timelines and reminders, it will capture real-time notes, answer questions within the context of the meeting, records and assigns tasks, etc.
- Enhanced Meeting Protection – Prevent Screen Captures: This requires Teams Premium. This prevents users from taking screen captures.
