In Microsoft Teams, we are introducing custom avatars for group chats. Group chat members will be able to upload their own image or select a built-in image or emoji, to add a layer of inclusivity and expression to their chat as well as helping visually identity chats with similar titles or participants.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 119305.
[When this will happen:]
Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, and DoD: We will begin rolling out mid-March 2024 and expect to complete by late March 2024.
[How this will affect your organization:]
Users will be able to select the current group chat avatar and then change that avatar by selecting from new avatars and emojis. Users can also upload their own images.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
No action is needed to prepare for this change. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
