Updated September 23, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. [What and Why] As Microsoft Teams has added meeting capabilities over time, the meeting controls and share panel have grown crowded, contributing to mis-clicks between high‑impact actions like Share, Leave, and Raise hand, and to accidental shares of unintended content. Drawing on extensive customer feedback and telemetry, we’re introducing two coordinated updates: redesigned meeting and sharing controls. Together, they make core actions easier to find, reduce accidental clicks, and give users more confidence when sharing content. This update supports personal and team productivity by reducing friction in everyday meetings and improving confidence when presenting or sharing content.
