Microsoft Teams: Assistant information now available in Organization view

Microsoft Teams will show Assistant information in the Organization section of user profile cards, improving visibility. This feature, enabled by default, rolls out worldwide from early July to mid-August 2026. It is informational only and requires no action if Assistant data is already populated.

[What and Why:]

Microsoft Teams will now display Assistant information in the Organization section of a user's profile card, in addition to the existing Contacts tab experience. Users can view Assistant information directly from the Organization section when it is populated on a profile, improving the discoverability of Assistant information within Teams.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 565221.
