On the show:
- Add people to a group chat from compose box via @ mention
- Important Information about your Microsoft Power Automate service
- Microsoft Teams Support for Co-organizer to Manage Breakout Rooms
- OneDrive: Sharing Experience - Sensitivity Labels inside the Sharing Dialog
- New Service Plans for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Viva SKUs
- Announcing Public preview of permanent deletion of users in Power Platform
- Microsoft Teams: Meeting Toolbar Usability Improvements
