Microsoft 365 Copilot in the Calls App

Upcoming Change to the Microsoft Teams Desktop Client on Windows: New Module Host for Calling

Microsoft is introducing an important architectural update to the Teams Desktop Client for Windows that enhances performance, reduces startup time, and improves the reliability of calling features. For IT administrators, UC engineers, and organizations using Microsoft Teams Calling, this update requires a few proactive adjustments.

What Is Changing?

In the current Teams architecture, the main application process ms-teams.exe also launches and manages the calling stack. To improve performance and create cleaner separation, Microsoft is introducing a dedicated child process for handling all calling-related functionality.

Removing Disabled Accounts from Microsoft Teams on Android

If you’ve ever worked as a contractor, you’ll know the pain of juggling multiple Microsoft Teams accounts. One day you’re logged in with your client’s tenant, the next day with a subcontractor account, and of course your own work account.

But what happens when one of those accounts gets disabled?

That’s when frustration really kicks in.

The Problem

Here’s the scenario:

• You’ve added multiple accounts to Microsoft Teams on your Android phone.
• Some of those accounts (e.g., subcontractor or client accounts) get disabled after the project ends.
• You want to remove those accounts from Teams without affecting your other accounts.

Simple, right? You’d expect a press-and-hold > Remove account option.

What’s New in Microsoft Teams - Juni 2025

Microsoft continues to enhance the Teams Phone experience with powerful updates that boost productivity, accessibility, and call quality. Here’s a roundup of the latest features released in June 2025 for Teams Phone users, admins, and device managers.

Copilot Now Supports Transferred Calls

AI is taking over the transfer process — in a good way. With Copilot summaries for transferred calls, users can now:

• Automatically generate a call summary
• Edit it as needed
• Send it to the transfer target

This reduces the need for consultative transfers and ensures context is never lost, leading to faster and smoother handoffs.

MDEP and AOSP: The Next Step in Teams Devices Management

The first implementation of Microsoft Device Enrollment Platform (MDEP) for a Microsoft Teams device is now live! Jabra’s Panacast 50 VBS, part of Value Pack 3 Firmware 6.5.0, is officially leveraging MDEP with Android Open Source Project (AOSP) management. More OEMs are rolling out AOSP-supported firmware, and the transition is in full swing.

The Shift from Device Administrator to AOSP

Previously, Teams devices were managed through Teams Admin Center (TAC) and Intune using Android Device Administrator, a legacy method now deprecated for Google Mobile Services (GMS)-based devices as of December 2024. Non-GMS-based devices, such as Teams Phones, Panels, and Teams Rooms on Android, have continued using Device Administrator, but Microsoft is now transitioning these to AOSP.

Creating a Structured Communication Framework in Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a powerful collaboration tool, but without structure, it can quickly become overwhelming. Unstructured communication leads to inefficiencies, missed messages, and confusion among team members. A well-defined communication guideline helps streamline workflows, maintain professionalism, and ensure productivity.

The Challenges of Unstructured Communication

Many organizations adopt Microsoft Teams without setting clear communication rules, leading to several issues:

• Information Overload: Constant messages, notifications, and file uploads make it difficult to locate important details, leading to missed deadlines and frustration.
• Unclear Expectations: Employees may not know the expected response times, proper communication channels, or when to escalate an issue.
• Scattered Conversations: Important discussions become buried in chat threads, making it difficult to track progress and retrieve critical information.
• Meeting Fatigue: Without clear guidelines, employees may be added to unnecessary meetings that could have been handled through chat or email, reducing productivity.

Why Your Organization Needs Communication Guidelines

A structured approach to Microsoft Teams communication ensures clarity and efficiency. Key benefits include:
