- Microsoft Teams offers users the ability to delete meeting-generated content

If you’ve ever made an embarrassing mistake or misspoke in a meeting and are worried about AI tools recording everything for final notes, fear not: A new Microsoft Teams update is set to make it easier to forget all of this quickly.
The online collaboration platform is working on a new feature that allows users to quickly delete content generated in a meeting, meaning their mistakes can be easily removed from memory.
The tool will allow meeting organizers to delete content such as call recordings and transcripts, as well as AI-generated summaries and notes, offering an easy exit.
Deleting content from Microsoft Teams
In a Microsoft 365 roadmap post announcing the news, the company notes that the feature will be available through a new delete button included on the summary page generated after a meeting ends.
The tool is listed as in development for now, but has an expected release date of April 2026, so users shouldn’t have to wait too long.
Upon release, Microsoft says the feature will initially be generally available to Teams on Windows users worldwide.
The release will be the latest in a series of recent releases aimed at making Microsoft Teams users more productive when using the service.
This includes adding the ability for users to save messages to their conversations and chats, meaning users will no longer have to manually trawl through long conversations to find the message they need.
The company also revealed that configurable keyboard shortcuts are finally coming to Microsoft Teams soon, giving users quick and easy access to symbols, icons, and more that they may use regularly on a daily basis, but are sometimes not at hand when typing in a work environment.
