Assessment Reasoning
The update postpones general availability to the end of November 2026. The change enhances presenter management in Teams events by allowing resizing and expanded views in Manage what attendees see. It rolls out automatically and requires no admin configuration, but organisers and producers should be briefed and internal materials adjusted. The timeline revision reduces immediate urgency but still warrants awareness as rollout is underway.
