You can now customize the meeting toolbar by pinning, unpinning, and reordering controls to match how you work. Raise Hand is grouped under Reactions to reduce mis-clicks, and Leave is clearly separated on the right. It may feel different at first, but it’s designed to be faster and easier to use.

Updated September 23, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
What and why
As Microsoft Teams has added meeting capabilities over time, the meeting controls and share panel have grown crowded, contributing to mis-clicks between high‑impact actions like Share, Leave, and Raise hand, and to accidental shares of unintended content. Drawing on extensive customer feedback and telemetry, we’re introducing two coordinated updates: redesigned meeting and sharing controls. Together, they make core actions easier to find, reduce accidental clicks, and give users more confidence when sharing content.
This update supports personal and team productivity by reducing friction in everyday meetings and improving confidence when presenting or sharing content.
