Product transitions to the cloud.microsoft domain – June 2025

Microsoft products will transition to the cloud.microsoft domain by June 2025. This change aims to unify and secure Microsoft’s SaaS products. Users will be automatically redirected, and no action is required. Admins should educate users about the new domain and ensure network connections to *.cloud.microsoft are not blocked. The cloud.microsoft domain was provisioned in early 2023 to provide a unified, trusted, and dedicated DNS domain space to host Microsoft’s first-party authenticated SaaS products and experiences. This post is to inform admins that the following Microsoft products and scenarios are now available at the cloud.microsoft domain, in parallel with the previous domains.   Microsoft Visio (https://visio.cloud.microsoft/) When this will happen: The services above are already available on cloud.microsoft, in parallel to their previous domains. You can expect the previous domains to be redirected to cloud.microsoft in the coming months. How this will affect your organization: The cloud.microsoft domain has been a part of standard Microsoft network guidance on domains and service endpoints since April 2023. If you are currently following this guidance, this change should not impact users in your organization using the above applications under the new domain.  Users will be redirected to applications under cloud.microsoft domains gradually and automatically. No specific user action is required. Links to the previous domains are backwards compatible and continue to be supported. Users may notice that the new application domains are lacking the “.com” extension. This is by design, as “.microsoft” is Microsoft’s own top-level domain – and this exclusivity allows for additional security and protection against spoofing.  What you need to do to prepare: Message ID: MC1108835
