Migration tool for Teams

Release notes for Microsoft Teams admin features

February 11, 2026

• Migration tool for Teams: This feature enables customers to move content seamlessly from public and private channels in a third-party solution to Teams standard channels. A new first-party Migration tool on Microsoft Admin Center (MAC) will allow admins to connect to the third-party solution workspace, plan, and perform content migration to Teams.
• New policy setting to require explicit consent for recording and transcription in Teams 1:1 calls: We're expanding the capability to require explicit consent for recording and transcription to include 1:1 calls in Microsoft Teams. A new setting in the Teams Calling policy allows enforcement of this requirement through the admins before recording or transcription can begin. When a user with the policy initiates recording, transcription, or both in a 1:1 call, the other participant is automatically muted, with their camera and content-sharing turned off. The participant will see a prompt asking whether they consent to be included in the recording and transcription.
• Restart your town hall event: This feature enables Teams town hall producers to restart a live event while the event is active to address technical issues that might arise during the execution of an instance. Whether technical, network, or other issues, this feature enables those managing the event to quickly resolve problems for attendees. This feature is designed to prevent the need for scheduling entirely new events.
• Teams admin center - Troubleshoot meetings and calls with automatic issue identification and recommendations: This feature enables administrators to troubleshoot Teams meetings and calls in Teams admin center with ease with a streamlined flow (that focuses on the meeting-quality issues) and detailed telemetry.
