Microsoft Teams: Changes to in-app feedback experience and feedback policy (Teams Desktop and Teams for web)

Updated August 21, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience. Coming soon: We will be rolling out updates to the in-app feedback (Give Feedback/Suggest a Feature) in Microsoft Teams for Desktop and Teams for the web to add a new Feedback option on the Settings and more menu. As a part of this rollout, Teams for Desktop and Teams for the web will stop using Microsoft Teams feedback policies and switch to Cloud Policy service for Microsoft 365. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 394269. When this will happen: Targeted Release (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late August 2024 (previously early August) and expect to complete by mid-September 2024 (previously mid-Augst). General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late August 2024 (previously mid-August and expect to complete by late September 2024 (previously late August). How this will affect your organization: After the rollout: Tenant impact: Teams for Desktop and Teams for the web will get the new Feedback menu in Settings and more, a refreshed Feedback form, and will start using Microsoft 365 feedback policies to align with other Microsoft 365 apps. This will be a first step towards unifying Teams feedback experiences and policies with the Microsoft 365. Admin impact: Tenant admins will temporarily need to keep managing both Teams feedback policies and Microsoft 365 feedback policies for feedback collection and surveys from Microsoft Teams clients. User impact: Users will get a familiar Feedback menu and feedback forms consistent with other Microsoft 365 applications.

Understand that Teams for Desktop and Teams for the web will continue to use existing Teams feedback policies for Surveys. Other versions of Teams Classic Teams will keep using existing Teams feedback policies for in-app feedback (Send feedback/Suggest a feature) and Surveys until the classic Teams is retired: End of availability for classic Teams client - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
