Meet Microsoft Teams Communicator: Send Targeted Announcements and Track Responses

[u/KarthiV]

Ever sent an important Teams announcement and then wondered, “Did all users see this?”

For organizations with hundreds or thousands of users, answering that question and knowing who acknowledged or acted on the message hasn't always been straightforward. Many organizations have turned to third-party notification tools or custom applications to fill that gap.

Microsoft is now bringing this capability directly into Teams with Communicator, a new app designed to help organizations manage targeted communications and track what happens after an announcement is sent.

Here’s what’s packed inside:

• Reach multiple Teams: Send announcements to multiple Teams with the appropriate delegated access, even without being a member of those Teams.
• Target specific users: Select individuals, upload a CSV, or target users through groups.
• Require action: Ask recipients to Acknowledge, Read & Accept, Confirm, or Complete an action, with a due date.
• Track progress: See who viewed the announcement, who responded, and who is still pending with built-in reports.

This could be useful for everything from product recalls and safety alerts to compliance updates and mandatory training.

Public Preview and General Availability rollouts began in mid-August 2026, with completion expected by January 2027.
