Updated September 3, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

Introduction:

We’re enhancing the search experience in Microsoft Teams Desktop to help users quickly find and take action on meetings. With this update, users can search for meetings by name or participant and take key actions directly from the search interface—improving productivity and meeting engagement.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 498496 

When this will happen:

• Targeted Release: Rolling out early August 2025; expected to complete by mid-August 2025.
• General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): Rolling out mid-August 2025; expected to complete by late September 2025.

How this affects your organization:

This update introduces new capabilities to the Teams Desktop search experience:

• Users can search for meetings using the meeting title or participant names.
• From the search results, users can:
  

  • Join ongoing meetings
  • View recaps of past meetings
  • RSVP to upcoming meetings
  • Access meeting chats and shared artifacts

• A new “Meeting” pill in the Auto Suggestion canvas allows users to scope searches to meetings only.
• A dedicated “Meetings” tab on the search results page provides a focused view of meeting-related results.

These features are enabled by default and require no admin configuration.

What you can do to prepare:

No admin action is required. The enhanced meeting search experience will be available automatically to all Teams Desktop users. Consider notifying your users about these improvements to help them take full advantage of the new capabilities.

Compliance considerations:

No compliance considerations identified, review as appropriate for your organization.
