Microsoft’s Teams platform is constantly evolving: several updates in the last months that include the use of avatars during meetings, facilitated use of Power Point within the platform, and new chat and channel search experience. Let us now go into detail to see what the enhancements and new features are:
User Experience: what’s new?
- New chat and channel search experience: the search part for chats and channels improve, with a new panel opening next to the chat/channel so it can be kept visible while searching
- Zoom in/out options: it will be possible to zoom in on a shared screen sharing during a call or chat
- Show/hide previews in your Microsoft Teams chat list now available
- New features for Microsoft Premium users: users will have the ability to have a recap of the meeting through “recap tabs” in teams made through AI, which will provide meeting highlights.
New functionalities
- Present a local File From the PowerPoint app to PowerPoint Live in Teams: sharing a live PowerPoint presentation (saved only locally) is now improved, thanks to the new access point to the button “Present in Teams” button in the PowerPoint for Windows app
- Avatars for Microsoft Teams: for those who prefer not to be framed during calls, but want a more realistic representation of an old photograph, Teams gives the option of creating an avatar that represents them in a non-static way. Microsoft has expanded availability of avatars to more M365 license types.
- Cloud IntelliFrame: a new way of experiencing online meetings, seeing in an improved way the people present in Teams meetings, to improve collaboration in hybrid meetings
