This update regarding Microsoft Teams’ additional work information in people search results is set to create quite a buzz among both admins and users. The ability for multi-tenant organization (MTO) users to see company and department names in search results is a game changer. For users, it means less time spent hunting for the right contacts and more time focusing on collaboration—because let’s face it, no one wants to accidentally message the IT guy when they really meant to reach out to marketing!
For admins, the toggle feature adds a layer of control. With the ability to enable or disable this function in the Teams admin center, they can tailor the experience to fit their organization’s needs. However, it’s worth noting that this feature will be off by default, so admins will need to take a proactive approach if they want to roll it out. It’s a bit like finding a hidden treasure—exciting, but only if you know to go looking for it!
The impact of these changes is likely to be significant. Enhanced visibility into user roles can lead to more efficient communication and collaboration across teams. As organizations continue to embrace remote work and interconnected environments, having this information readily available can streamline processes and reduce miscommunication.
