What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

We’re introducing a new Best Practice Configurations Monitoring Dashboard in the Teams admin center. This dashboard helps administrators monitor their tenant’s adherence to Microsoft-recommended best practices for an optimal collaboration experience in Teams meetings. The first focus area is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) optimization, enabling admins to identify and remediate non-conformance quickly.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 526781.

When this will happen

  • General Availability (Worldwide): We will start rolling out in mid-January 2026 and expect to complete by late January 2026.
  • General Availability (GCC): We will start rolling out in late January 2026 and expect to complete by early February 2026.
