What's new in Microsoft Teams

By Pradeep


With 115 million daily active users, Microsoft Teams is booming, in large part because Microsoft continues to improve their product.

Today they published a list of the features added to the collaboration platform in the month of October, to help users catch up because launching into the new features coming in November.

The improvements cover new features for Education, Firstline Workers, and their Government customers.

Below are the top three features we’ve hand-picked for you to get the most out of your Teams meeting experience:



TOGETHER MODE

Together mode, now available in GCC, uses AI segmentation technology in meetings to digitally place participants in a shared background, making it feel like you’re sitting in the same room with everyone else.

 

LARGE GALLERY VIEW (PREVIEW) – SEE UP TO 49 PARTICIPANTS

Large Gallery is providing a new way to view video up to 49 participants at once on a single screen (7×7). This feature rolled out to production with the new multi-window experience. To take advantage of this new view, users will need to turn on the new multi-window meeting experience. Large Gallery is now available in GCC.

 

SPOTLIGHT AN INDIVIDUAL VIDEO PARTICIPANT FOR ALL ATTENDEES IN A TEAMS MEETING

Microsoft is delivering the ability for presenters to lock on an individual video feed for all attendees to see during a Teams meeting. Once selected, the individual identified as the spotlight will be the main video shown to all participants. This applies to PC, Mac, mobile, and Microsoft Teams room systems. The spotlight feature is now available in both GCC and GCC High.
