Summary

A new Best Practice Configurations Monitoring Dashboard will roll out in early 2026 in the Teams admin center, helping admins monitor and remediate VDI optimization issues in meetings. It highlights non-conformance, shows impacted locations, and allows export of user data for targeted fixes.

More information

We’re introducing a new Best Practice Configurations Monitoring Dashboard in the Teams admin center. This dashboard helps administrators monitor their tenant’s adherence to Microsoft-recommended best practices for an optimal collaboration experience in Teams meetings. The first focus area is Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) optimization, enabling admins to identify and remediate non-conformance quickly.
