Hands-On Microsoft 365 Pulse – Weekly Updates (Week 12)

By João Ferreira Mar 24, 2026 Pulse 0 Comments

I’m writing this week’s Pulse from Redmond, on the Microsoft campus, where I’m attending the MVP Summit. Today is also my birthday, and it’s one of those moments that lands as both a privilege and a tradeoff. I’m excited to be here with this community, but I’d be lying if I said it isn’t a bit bittersweet not being at home with my family.

The Summit is hard to explain without it sounding like hype, so I will keep it simple. It is a week where Microsoft and the community are in the same loop. Product groups share where things are going, and MVPs push back with the reality of implementation. That combination is what makes this worth the travel.

I will not be able to share everything I’m learning right away. Sessions are confidential and are simply not meant to be repeated outside the room. But it still matters, because it makes me better at what I do when I’m back at work, and it shapes the way I filter and explain the constant stream of updates that you see in this Pulse.

From the batch of updates from the past week, two caught my eye. The first is Lists as a knowledge source for agents in SharePoint and OneDrive, where Microsoft Lists becomes a supported knowledge source for custom agents in SharePoint and OneDrive, so an agent can answer questions using list items and metadata, based on the same permissions the user already has. The second is Digital signage support for Teams Rooms panels, which lets you display digital signage on idle Teams panel devices, with the signage source and settings configured in the Pro Management portal, and available with Teams Rooms Pro or shared space licensed spaces.

As always, there’s a bunch more to explore — check out the full list below. Let me know in the comments what your favorite update was this week, or what you’re hoping to see next. I’m curious to hear what caught your eye!
