Just like Excel, Microsoft Teams is also an essential component of Microsoft 365, especially for enterprise environments. The software provides online communication and collaboration capabilities that work well in on-site, remote, and hybrid environments. To that end, Microsoft regularly adds new features to Teams, and today, we'll examine all the capabilities it introduced in the month of September 2025.
Starting off with chat and collaboration enhancements, we have Channel Agents that we previously discussed in detail here. Currently in public preview, they are designed to automate tedious tasks on your behalf. Another interesting update for channels in Teams is the threaded UX which makes it easier to follow in-depth conversations on specific topics. Those with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can also generate AI-powered summaries for threads. Finally, the Workplace app has also been redesigned to make it intuitive, so that it is easier to automate tasks through AI-powered workflow templates.
In terms of platform improvements, we have the ability to quickly share apps and agents in Teams. Furthermore, the Teams AI Library has been updated to facilitate the creation of custom AI agents. In addition, the GitHub app is now in public preview, which should be a boon for developers.
Switching gears to meetings, webinars, and town halls, the Facilitator Agent in Teams is now available. It manages end-to-end flows for meetings, such as setting agendas, inferring goals from conversations, send reminders, and set goals, among many other things. Other improvements include countdown timers for Teams meetings, the mic volume indicator, organizer controls in meeting toolbar, enhanced privacy for live captions, and dedicated private chats for organizers and presenters of webinars. Those with Teams Premium licenses can also leverage the Prevent Screen Capture Functionality, as well as decorated backgrounds for GCC and GCC-High customers.
As usual, lots of devices are now Teams-certified, including:
