What is New in Microsoft Teams for January 2025

Happy new year, and welcome to 2025! I hope your year is off to an excellent start, and that you have lots of exciting things on the horizon. I know that this year will be a big one for Teams - it’s only January, and we’re already releasing a host of useful features that can save you time and help you communicate efficiently and effectively.

For example, the ability to forward messages between channels helps you share important information with colleagues more easily (“Forward channel messages” in Chat and Collaboration), and giving meeting attendees the freedom to move between breakout rooms (“Meeting participants can move between breakout rooms” in Meetings, Webinars and Town Halls) can simplify event management and participation.

Those are just two of the many features that we’re releasing to kick off 2025, so read on to see what else is new in these categories:

• Chat and Collaboration
  Meetings, Webinars, and Town Halls
  Workplace-Places and Rooms
  Teams Phone
