Microsoft Teams admin center: Apply only configured settings from configuration profiles for Teams Android devices

Microsoft Teams admin center: Apply only configured settings from configuration profiles for Teams Android devices

Admins will have more granular control over configuration profiles for Teams Android devices, applying only explicitly configured settings and preventing unintended changes. This will roll out in July 2025 (Worldwide, GCC), August 2025 (GCC High), and September 2025 (DoD). No admin action is required before or after the rollout. We’re introducing an improvement to configuration profiles in the Microsoft Teams admin center for Android devices. Admins will now have more granular control—only explicitly configured settings in a profile will be applied to devices, preventing unintended changes. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 313800. When this will happen: General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025. General Availability (GCC High): We will begin rolling out early August 2025 and expect to complete by mid-August 2025. General Availability (DoD): We will begin rolling out early September 2025 and expect to complete by mid-September 2025. How this will affect your organization: Before this rollout, assigning a configuration profile applies all settings—including those left unconfigured—with default values. This sometimes causes unintended changes (such as language or time zone). After this rollout: Only settings explicitly configured in the profile will be applied. Settings left as Not configured will remain unchanged on the device. This change simplifies bulk management and reduces the risk of overwriting regional or OEM-specific defaults. The new configuration profile experience will be available by default for admins to configure, as follows: Create a configuration profile 1. Go to Teams Devices > device type > Configuration profiles and select Add. 2. By default, all settings will display as Not configured. View image in new tab 3. Enter a name for the profile and optionally add a friendly description. 4. Configure the settings you want for the profile and select Review changes. 5. In the Review configured settings pop-up, compare and confirm before saving. Select Save. View image in new tab Assign a configuration profile 1. Go to Teams Devices > device type 2. Select one or more devices, and then select Assign configuration. 3. If any selected devices are […]
