Summary

The Teams Compose experience is being simplified to enhance usability, scalability, and information density. Rollout begins December 2023 for Targeted Release and completes by October 2024 for GCC, GCC High, and DoD. No preparation is needed for this change, associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 123486.

Details

Updated October 9, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Teams Compose is the heart of collaboration, where all Teams messages flow each month. It's also the gateway to a wealth of features, from Copilot to Files, Loops, Video, and Platform Apps. 

While Teams' capabilities have grown by leaps and bounds, the compose experience has remained largely unchanged. This update addresses usability, scalability, and information density challenges. We've simplified the compose experience, enhancing usability for various rich authoring scenarios, establishing scalable patterns for all compose actions, and optimizing it for your everyday needs. Get ready to enjoy a more seamless and efficient collaboration experience! This is for the new Teams experience only.

When this will happen:
