If you follow the Microsoft 365 roadmap i am sure that you have read about the Feature ID: 51326. Today i found it available in my tenant so of course i had to try it. In addition to start a new “Conversation” in Microsoft Teams you can now also create an “Announcement” with a nice header. An announcement is like a conversation but it stands out a little bit more. Here is how to do it!

Press the icon for the “Compose box”

I’m Magnus

I am the person behind this blog, created to share experiences, insights, news, practical guidance, tips & tricks, constructive feedback, and reviews. While the blog covers most of Microsoft 365, a significant focus is on AI, Microsoft Copilot, security, and the governance frameworks required to use these technologies responsibly and effectively.

I am passionate about exploring, testing, and evaluating new applications, features, and solutions. However, I am equally passionate about understanding how to implement them securely and successfully. For me, technology is not only about innovation and productivity, but also about security, compliance, governance, and risk management. My goal is to help organizations and people maximize the value of Microsoft 365 and AI while ensuring that security, data protection, and responsible adoption remain at the center of every decision.
