What you need to know
Microsoft shared the final post on its Microsoft 365 Insider blog this week. But the blog is not going away. Instead, it just has a new home. Going forward, Microsoft will share all of its content related to the Microsoft 365 Insider program and Microsoft 365 Insiders through the Tech Community website.

Migrating news and discussions about Microsoft 365 to the Tech Community site should increase engagement. Tech community is built for interaction, and it’s common to see experts and everyday users chat in threads there. Microsoft 365 Insiders are now connected to a broader network that includes MVPs, community ambassadors, and other users.

The move took place on August 26, 2024. Thenew Microsoft 365 Insider Blog sectionof the Tech Community site already has a large library of content. Microsoft migrated things over, allowing you to search for posts using filters or other means. You can also follow that page or subscribe to an RSS feed for it.
Microsoft changing where it posts news about the Microsoft 365 Insider program has no effect on people enrolled in the program. It just shifts where you need to look to see the latest news.
