Microsoft Teams: Open message links in new window

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Teams desktop users can now open message links in new windows, improving multitasking. This feature is enabled by default and requires no administrative action, but impacts user workflow and potential data visibility.

The Impact

All Teams desktop users are affected; the security risk is negligible as it only changes how content is displayed, not its access.

• End-users: Can view multiple chats, potentially increasing data visibility on screen.
• Security Team: No direct security risk or configuration changes required.
• IT Admins: No administrative action or policy changes needed.
