What’s New in Microsoft Teams – March 2026 Highlights

Microsoft Teams continues to evolve, bringing new features that boost productivity, security, and collaboration. Here’s a roundup of the most notable updates from March 2026:

Live Meeting Indicator: Instantly see and join active meetings in threaded channels.
Control the Enter Key: Choose whether Enter sends a message or starts a new line.
Mark All as Read: Use SHIFT + ESC to clear all unread messages at once.

Meetings and Phone Enhancements

Annotations on Shared Windows: Annotate directly on a single shared window during meetings for focused, private collaboration.
Audio Recap in More Languages: AI-powered audio summaries now support more languages, making it easier for global teams to catch up.
Copilot in Teams Phone Calls: Use Copilot Chat during calls to generate summaries, surface insights, and get real-time guidance.

Voice and Face Profile Dashboard: Admins can now track voice and facial profile enrollments for AI-enhanced meeting experiences.
Browser Update Requirement: Teams on the web will require ECMAScript 2022-compliant browsers starting May 15, 2026.
