Teams admin center: "What's New" section

Introduction

We’re introducing a new “What’s New” section in Microsoft Teams Admin Center—a centralized hub designed to help Teams admins stay informed about recent and upcoming feature updates. This in-context experience consolidates key changes, admin controls, and learning resources, making it easier for IT admins to act quickly and confidently.

With this new experience, admins can:

• View updates relevant to their tenant, including Teams and Teams Admin Center changes.
• Access new admin settings, policies, and Microsoft Learn resources.
• Check visibility for Targeted Release preferences.

This means less time searching, more time acting—helping admins stay informed and ready for change.
