In this July 2025 edition of the Microsoft Teams News Show, co-hosts Rob Scott and Kristian McCann of UC Today are joined by Tom Arbuthnot (Empowering.Cloud) and an expert panel featuring Kevin Kieller, Ryan Herbst, and Josh Blalock. Together, they unpack a transformative month for Microsoft Teams, from sweeping layoffs to rapid Copilot deployment and rising data sovereignty concerns.

Microsoft enters its new fiscal year with bold moves—cutting roles, re-aligning priorities, and pushing harder on AI. Tom Arbuthnot details the internal shakeups and how they're tied to the company's CoPilot-first vision. One of the biggest headlines? Barclays Bank's rollout of 100,000 M365 Copilot licenses—one of the largest deployments to date.

The panel also dissects the end of Teams Classic, enhanced tools for IT pros, and the strategic launch of real-time voice Copilot across platforms. Meanwhile, Europe's pushback on data sovereignty, including a German municipality’s exit from Teams, hints at larger geopolitical tensions in cloud tech. It's an unmissable update filled with practical takeaways and expert insights.

Discussion Highlights:

• Microsoft's FY25 kickoff: Layoffs, new roles, and renewed focus on AI and agentic capabilities
• Enterprise AI at scale: Barclays rolls out 100,000 Copilot licenses and what that means for adoption
• Teams Classic sunset, new IT health dashboards, and AI-powered Teams Room administration
• European data sovereignty challenges and Microsoft’s “M365 Local” and sovereign cloud responses

Next Steps:
