Here are some exciting features coming soon to Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is Redmond's premier online communication and collaboration tool in work and education environments. The company regularly adds new features to it, such as the updated Calendar UX, customized recording notices for compliance, and the removal of location data from shared images. Now, the firm has announced a bunch of updates landing soon in organizational environments.

For starters, code blocks in Teams will become mobile-friendly. They will appear as attached objects such as a file preview, and once you open them, they'll open in a rich view with syntax highlighting, line numbers, and scrollable containers. Microsoft says that this change is in response to customer feedback for scenarios where programming collaboration is required on the go. This rollout is tagged under MC1223820 on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, with rollout starting in early February, and completing by mid-February.

Additionally, Microsoft was supposed to release a revamped call feedback screen with updated problem tokens and more streamlined navigation by the end of this month. This has now been pushed back to mid- to late-February, as noted in MC1183608. Interestingly, Microsoft says that this may give the wrong impression that Teams' call quality has declined, but this isn't actually the case. It's just that since it'll be easier for customers to give feedback, the volume for poor call reporting will increase.

Next, Microsoft is rolling out a "quick view" UX for Drafts, so that it's easier to locate and navigate across unsent messages. This is slated for Targeted Release next month, followed by general availability in March, according to MC1223827.

Finally, the Redmond tech firm will soon allow customers to report suspicious 1:1 calls directly to their own IT admins and Microsoft with some limited metadata. This option will be enabled by default, but can be disabled by IT admins. General availability will complete around April 2026, as noted in MC1223828.
