Microsoft Teams announced updates relating to chat and collaboration, meetings, Mesh in Teams, webinars, town halls, Teams Rooms and devices, and Teams Phone.
Some of the big Teams news from the last month includes the release of a unified Teams app, a new central hub for teams channels and chats, and speaker progress gaining general availability.
Chat and Collaboration
Time-based prompts are being added to Copilot in chat so that you can gain insights into a specific time period with phrases like “March 2022”, “last year”, “last month", and “yesterday”.
Users sharing the same tenant can request to join a shared channel using the channel’s share link.
Channel cards can now provide users with a quick overview of channel information, such as channel description, team name, last activity time, and membership information.
Apps in group chats can be accessed alongside people working outside your organisation, which Microsoft says enhances collaboration and productivity.
Discover feeds can be shown or hidden via settings. The personalised Teams channel feed helps to keep users up to date on information relevant to them.
Meetings and Mesh
AI-generated notes and tasks are available for Government Community Cloud (GCC) customers as part of intelligent meeting recap. To use the feature, a Teams Premium GCC license or Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 GCC license is required.
Intelligent meeting recap lets unscheduled town hall participants with Android devices search meeting recordings by speaker name and topic title.
Mesh event hosts with a Teams Premium license can see raised hands and reactions throughout all rooms at multi-room events.
