Microsoft Defender for Office 365: Message Warnings for Messages with Malicious URLs in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Defender for Office 365 will introduce message warnings in Microsoft Teams for messages containing URLs flagged as Spam, Phish, or Malware. Starting with a public preview in September 2025 and general availability in November 2025, warnings will appear for both recipients and senders, enabled by default and manageable via Teams Admin Center. To help users stay protected from malicious content, we’re introducing message warnings in Microsoft Teams.
