Updated May 22, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
We're pleased to announce the upcoming Multi-Tenant Organization (MTO) capabilities in Microsoft Teams. Admins can activate these features by configuring an MTO group in the Microsoft 365 admin center, while users utilize the new Teams desktop client.
Aimed at organizations managing employees across multiple tenants within the same cloud boundary, these features provide a seamless collaboration experience within MTO groups, enabling access to resources across tenants. The capabilities cover search, chat, calling, meetings, and content sharing, eliminating silos and facilitating collaboration across tenant boundaries.
When this will happen:
General Availability (GCC, GCC High, DoD) We will begin rolling out in late May 2024 (previously mid-May) and expect to complete in late June 2024 (previously mid-June).
