Updated October 26, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Consecutive Interpretation is a new interpretation mode available as an add‑on to the existing Interpreter agent in Microsoft Teams. It enables structured multilingual conversations in meetings by providing shared, meeting‑level interpretation when enabled by a Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed user.

This structured flow reduces overlap, improves interpretation accuracy, and helps everyone stay aligned in real time. Consecutive Interpretation is ideal for back‑and‑forth, interactive discussions where participants need to respond, clarify, and build on each other’s input across languages, such as working sessions, negotiatio

Updated September 30, 2026: We have updated the content timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] Viva Engage will stop sending email notifications to users who do not have a valid mailbox or routable email destination. Previously, email notifications could still be attempted for these users, resulting in repeated delivery retries, increased load on email systems, and, in some cases, delays to important business communications. This change reduces unnecessary email traffic, improves delivery efficiency, and helps ensure important communications are delivered reliably and on time. Users with supported mailbox configurations, including cloud mailboxes, on-premises mailboxes, shared mailboxes, and other routable email destinations, will continue to receive Viva Engage email notifications as expected.
