(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Introducing the Network Strength Indicator [MC1077865]

Message ID: MC1077865 (Updated)

Updated September 16, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

To improve meeting clarity and reduce confusion caused by connectivity issues, we’re adding a new Network Strength Indicator. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 414513

[When this will happen:]

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out mid-December 2025 (previously mid-November) and expect to complete by late December 2025 (previously late November).

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early January 2026 (previously early December 2025) and expect to complete by mid-January 2026 (previously mid-December 2025).

[How this will affect your organization:]

This feature will display your current network quality using a simple 3-bar system: Good (3 bars), Poor (2 bars), and Bad (1 bar). When your connection is limited, we’ll suggest actions to help conserve bandwidth and maintain meeting performance. You’ll also be able to see when other participants are experiencing poor or bad network conditions, providing better context for disruptions in the meeting.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
