Here are all the new features Microsoft added to Teams in November 2025

Teams is Microsoft's premier online communication and collaboration platform, and one that receives new features on a regular basis. A couple of weeks ago, we covered some of the upcoming capabilities landing soon on the service, but now, Microsoft has published its own roundup of all the enhancements that it made to Teams during the month of November 2025. It's a bit early this time around, as is customary during Microsoft's Ignite conference.

Starting off with chat and collaboration improvements, Microsoft is unifying the Copilot experience across chats, channels, and meetings. The AI assistant also has the ability to perform analysis of chat history, meeting transcripts, and calendar content. An interesting experience in the same vein now in public preview is Teams Mode for Copilot, which allows you to invite human co-workers into individual chats with AI. This essentially enables Copilot to become an active member of your team which can assist in tasks.

Other improvements include the ability to create status report updates through Channel Agent, along with updates to the external collaboration (also in public preview), with several capabilities in tow, such as the option to chat with anyone, sharing a file or a Loop component, labeling through trust indicators, and use admin presets. One really nifty ability is the option to pop out "core functionalities" of Teams such as calendar, chats, and calls in a separate window. Furthermore, if someone forwards you a link, you can click on it to navigate to the original location where the message came from, provided that you have access to that space.

Some Teams customers will also enjoy the search bar in the settings section, along with collaborative Pages and Notes components directly accessible inside the app. Finally, section names can also host emoji now.

When it comes to platform enhancements, Channel Agent can now connect to more platforms, such as Asana, GitHub, and Atlassian. IT admins also have more visibility over privilege levels and information related to compliance and security for apps and AI agents. It is also worth highlighting that AI agents and bots can now leverage Microsoft Entra for secure authentication. Other improvements that would be interesting for IT admins include trust-based filters for apps and agents, a performance audit tool in Teams Mobile, and expanded analytics coverage for AI agents in the Developer Portal.

Switching gears to meetings, webinars, and town halls, we have customizable meeting recap templates to structure AI-generated notes in a digestible format, branded reactions (only in private preview for now), a native screen picking and sharing experience for Mac customers, more features for Facilitator Agent, and immersive 3D events in Teams.

As always, more devices are now Teams-certified, such as:

• Yealink MP66W Wi-Fi based Teams device
• MAXHUB XBar W70
• Owl Labs Lenovo & Owl Labs Microsoft Teams Rooms Bundles - ThinkSmart Core + IP or USB Controller Kit with Meeting Owl 4+, and ThinkSmart Tiny Kit
• Rally Bar Mini with Heckler Rolling Stand (Android)
• Rally Bar Mini with Salamander Designs Acadia Tabletop Stand (Windows)
• MeetUp 2 with Salamander Designs Acadia Tabletop Stand (Windows)
• Rally Bar Huddle with Heckler Rolling Stand (Android)
• Yealink LinkHub smart dock
• Logitech Zone Wired 2 and Wireless 2ES for Business

There are tons of other enhancements available for frontline worker solutions, security features, and Teams Phone. You can read more about all of this over here.
