Windows 10: Microsoft Teams PowerShell Module General Availability

Brink · Apr 24, 2019

We are excited to announce the general availability of the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module. This PowerShell module, first released in Beta last year, allows you to manage the lifecycle of teams within your organization. As a Global Administrator or Teams Service Administrator, you can identify and manage teams on behalf of your users, and make bulk updates to teams faster – including changing memberships or managing team settings. This new version of our module leverages only 1.0 Graph APIs.

Going forward, we will be maintaining both a Preview and Generally Available versions of the Microsoft Teams PowerShell module. This will allow us to deliver new, preview functionality to our customers faster for testing, while ensuring that our Generally Available module continues to leverage only 1.0 APIs.

The following cmdlets are supported in our generally available module:

Cmdlet Description Connect-MicrosoftTeams Connects an authenticated account to use for Microsoft Teams environment Disconnect-MicrosoftTeams Disconnects from the Microsoft Teams environment Get-Team Retrieves teams with particular properties or information Get-TeamChannel Gets all the channels for a team Get-TeamHelp Provides a list of commands for Microsoft Teams Get-TeamUser Returns the users of a specific team New-Team Provisions a new Team, or converts a group to a team New-TeamChannel Adds a new channel to a team Add-TeamUser Adds an owner or member to the team Remove-Team Deletes a team Remove-TeamChannel Delete a channel Remove-TeamUser Removes an owner or member from a team Set-Team Updates properties of a team Set-TeamChannel Update Team channel information
Additional Functionality in New Release

In addition to leveraging solely 1.0 APIs, we have made a few improvements to cmdlets in the Generally Available module:

Connect-MicrosoftTeams: You can now specify a Teams Government Environment (-TeamsEnvironmentName) that your organization is homed in.

Get-Team: We expanded the filter and selection criteria to include properties such as the Visibility or Archived state of the teams so that you can more easily identify teams that may require your attention

Simplified Experience

To improve the discoverability of certain team settings, we consolidated the functionality of the following cmdlets into the Get-Team and Set-Team cmdlets:

- Get-TeamFunSettings
- Get-TeamGuestSettings
- Get-TeamMemberSettings
- Get-TeamMessagingSettings
- Set-TeamFunSettings
- Set-TeamGuestSettings
- Set-TeamMemberSettings
- Set-TeamMessagingSettings

Note: These beta cmdlets will not be available in future module releases

Because Teams is built on top of different services, PowerShell controls for Teams are split across several modules. Learn more about PowerShell for Teams (also includes links to the technical docs for individual cmdlets).

#AzureAD PowerShell V2.0 is now Generally Available

Howdy folks,

About a month ago, we announced an updated public preview for PowerShell Azure AD v2.0.

Today I’m happy to announce that these PowerShell Azure AD v2.0 cmdlets are now generally available (GA)!

To give you a rundown on the improvements we’ve made since we released the preview, I’ve asked Rob de Jong to blog about them. You’ll find his blog below.

I hope you will find these cmdlets useful. And as always, we would love to receive any feedback or suggestions you have!

Best Regards,

Hi everyone,

It’s Rob de Jong here and today I’m excited to let you know that Azure AD PowerShell v2.0 is now GA and to give you a quick tour of the changes we’ve made since the previous public preview. This release marks an important milestone in the Azure AD PowerShell because now you can leverage the new cmdlets in this module in your production environments.

One request customers have consistently made is that we make sure we maintain equivalent capabilities between our Graph API and our PowerShell cmdlets. To make sure that happens, all these new cmdlets are built on top of the Graph API.

Two important notes:

The new Azure AD PowerShell v2.0 module don’t provide full functional parity with the older MSOL module yet. We’re working hard to make that happen in the coming months and will keep you updated on our progress.

We are not planning to publish new functionality in the MSOL PowerShell module. Over time we will implement all the functionality of the old MSOL cmdlets in the new module, and this new module contains quite a few new cmdlets that haven’t been available before.

Changes since the preview

We’ve made a few changes to some of the cmdlets since the previous preview release of Azure AD PowerShell v2.0:

Naming conventions: The Revoke-AzureADSignedInUserAllRefreshTokens and Revoke-AzureADUserAllRefreshTokens were renamed to Revoke-AzureADSignedInUserAllRefreshToken Revoke-AzureADUserAllRefreshToken respectively to follow the Verb-SingularNoun naming convention.

Excluded cmdlets: This GA only includes cmdlets that call into a production endpoint of the Graph API. If you want to use cmdlets that call a Beta endpoint, these are available in the public preview release of the Azure AD v2.0 PowerShell cmdlets. The cmdlets excluded from this release include those used to manage Administrative Units, Domain settings, Policy settings, and Directory settings.

To find a list of all cmdlets included in this release, please refer to the Azure AD v2.0 general availability release notes.
How to deploy

To install the new module, follow this link to the PowerShell Gallery. Installing a PowerShell module from the PowerShell gallery requires some additional components to be installed on your system. If you are running a computer with the Windows 10 OS, these components are already present and you can simply open a PowerShell window as an administrator and type “Install-Module AzureAD”, The module will be installed on your computer and imported in your session.

For other Windows operating systems, please refer to the documentation about the PowerShell Gallery.

Getting help with this module

If you need more information about how these cmdlets work, the easiest way to get it is to use the inline help functionality. Here is an example of how to do that, using the Get-Help cmdlet:

For online help, you can also refer to the Azure AD v2.0 PowerShell module online documentation.

We’re here to help

If you need any help with a specific solution you’re trying to create, have feedback you want to share, or have questions for which the answer cannot be found in the documentation, please send an email to L: AADPS@Microsoft.com. We’ll get back to you as soon as we can and look forward to hearing from you!

Regards,

Rob

Microsoft Stream Live Events now generally available Microsoft Teams

We are thrilled to announce that live events are now generally available in Microsoft Teams – enabling anyone to create live and on-demand events to reach large online audiences. Live events in Microsoft Teams enables you to schedule, produce, broadcast and record rich, interactive streaming content. Up to 10k attendees can join live from anywhere and across any device or watch on-demand at their convenience.

Live events in Microsoft Teams enable an intuitive end-end experience for the event organizer, producer, presenter as well as attendees:

Simple scheduling and set-up experience:

Thinking of finally hosting that long-due event? Scheduling a live event and inviting your attendees is a matter of a few clicks. You can create a live event using the same Teams meeting experience that you are familiar with. Using the Teams app, you can assign appropriate attendee permissions, designate event team members, select production method, and invite attendees within your organization or make it public.

Choose appropriate production controls:

Live events in Microsoft 365 support a broad spectrum of production scenarios. Using simple production controls in Microsoft Teams, anyone can produce an high quality live event - using a webcam or A/V input from Teams room systems. For sophisticated production needs, such as for executive town hall meetings, producers can use external encoders to manage their live events with 3rd party hardware and software via Microsoft Stream. This is a great if you already have studio quality equipment, such as media mixers, which support streaming to a Real-time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) service.

As a producer, you can take control of the control the layout of the event, start/stop video streams, share desktop, enable live Q&A, make the event available on-demand and a lot more.

Check out how Microsoft is using live events to connect teams across the globe.

Increase engagement and reach new audiences:

Being able to interact with your audience helps you keep them that much more engaged and provides attendees more value from your event -

Increase audience engagement and retention, and gather feedback on key areas using moderated live Q&A during the live event

Make your event more accessible and extend your audience reach using AI capabilities such as live captions and translation. Live captions during an event make your content more accessible and make it easy for your attendees to follow along. Caption translation lets your attendees consume the content in the language they are most comfortable with.

Increase audience reach and enagement using AI capabilities such as live captions and translation

Analyze audience engagement and feedback:
You can’t improve what you can’t measure. Post event analytics helps the event team gather insights from the Q&A, look for unanswered questions from your audience etc. Audience engagement report helps you analyze the audience engagement and look for ways to improve – be it content, tone, production style etc.

Analyze audience engagement and feedback using event analytics

Optimize network bandwidth using trusted eCDN solutions:

Live event playback uses adaptive bitrate streaming, which is a unicast stream, meaning every attendee is getting their own video stream from the internet. For live events sent out to huge audiences within your organization, this can consume significant internet bandwidth. Microsoft's trusted video delivery partners now offer enterprise content delivery networks (eCDN) to optimize the bandwidth consumed while delivering a great end user experience during large scale Microsoft Teams live events -

Hive Streaming

Kollective

Ramp OmniCache

If you are using Skype Meeting Broadcast currently, we encourage you to use live events in Teams. You can refer to complete Skype to Teams transition roadmap here.

Learn how to get started with live events in Microsoft Teams, and let us know your feedback. We are just getting started and will be bringing many new capabilities over the next few months, including general availability of live captions and translation, ability to add a guest or a federated user as a presenter, managing a live event from the full calendar view in Teams and lot more.
