Updated September 11, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] To help organizations better protect sensitive files in transit, we're introducing a public preview for extending Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies to the network through integration with Entra Global Secure Access Internet Access. Through this integration, organizations can intercept and inspect file traffic at the network layer and enforce actions based on DLP policy conditions. It helps prevent sensitive files from being shared with untrusted cloud applications through browsers, apps, APIs, add-ins, and more—including generative AI platforms, cloud storage, and content-sharing services—while managing alerts and incidents through Purview and Microsoft Defender.This message is associated with Roadmap ID 522096.

Copilot Chat will be available in Teams for users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Additionally, a new in-meeting control lets users stop Teams from processing spoken audio during a meeting. When this control is on, Teams stops processing spoken audio — including transcription and recording — and Copilot will not use or reference anything said during this time. If Facilitator is active, it will also be tur
