Body (from Message Center)

Support for multiple brand themes (an extension to Microsoft Teams Premium branding capability) provides organizations greater flexibility to express their unique visual brand identity across different types of meetings while maintaining consistency with branding standards.

Admins can now create and assign multiple brands to a customization policy in the Teams admin center. This will allow meeting organizers who are assigned a customization policy to select from different meeting brand options when scheduling their meeting. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 468868.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out mid-March 2025 and expect to complete by mid-April 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

This feature allows organizers to tailor brand themes to suit the occasion, whether it's a formal external meeting, a more casual internal team session, or a meeting with seasonal or holiday-specific branding. For example, they can choose a festive theme for a holiday campaign or a professional theme for client-facing discussions, ensuring the right visual brand identity for every event.

With this capability, meeting organizers can create a more personalized experience for attendees while aligning with the organization's brand guidelines.

This update is available by default.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
