We believe that to be a true multi-platform toolkit that enables greater third-party collaboration, MRTK needs to be recognized as an independent organization that expands beyond Microsoft’s sole jurisdiction. That’s why we have moved MRTK3 Open-Source Software (OSS) outside of Microsoft into its own independent organization within GitHu…

In addition to Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium licenses, we have extended Bing Chat Enterprise eligibility to Microsoft 365 A3 and A5 licenses for faculty.
