Microsoft has been constantly adding improvements to different products under Microsoft 365, including Microsoft Teams. With that, the company is focusing on more improvements for its mobile version, aiming to provide a better experience for its users.
Microsoft Teams Gets New Features to Make It Better for Users as Part of the Updated Microsoft 365 Roadmap Page
For those that don't know, Microsoft Teams is the company's take on video conferencing, which works closely like other services such as Zoom as it provides users a way to contact each other. The most important aspect of this tool can often be seen as its video conferencing.
According to the story by MS Power User, Microsoft is coming out with three major improvements specifically designed for its Teams product. This comes as part of the updated Microsoft 365 Roadmap page.
The Roadmap Includes Three Major Changes for Its Microsoft Teams Involving Reduced Steps and More
The updated Microsoft 365 Roadmap page highlights three major changes that will come to Microsoft Teams. The first change involves the process of meetings, which aims to reduce the total number of steps.
Basically, the improvement minimizes the number of steps that people need to take in order to join a meeting. This feature is particularly designed for users who are not part of an organization but are joining the meeting.
Switching Process Updated to Make It Easier for Users with Multiple Accounts
The next feature would be to allow those joining the meeting without signing up still be given the ability to give presentations. They can also preview videos or audio settings before they join the meeting, a feature that was only previously available for signed-in users.
The last feature would be to basically streamline the whole process of joining the meeting for users having more than one account. Microsoft does this by upgrading the switching process, making it easier for users to switch accounts on the desktop.
The Changes are Applicable for iOS and Android Users
This last feature is expected to roll out in September while the other improvements are expected to come to Microsoft Teams for iOS and Android users in October. Fans can check the Microsoft Roadmap showing additional features for Teams in April 2024, like Workspace Management.
As seen on Microsoft Education Blog, Teams also comes with new features that aim to streamline the education process. This comes as the tool was integral to learning, especially during the pandemic, which showcased how important video meeting apps were.
New Classwork in Teams for Education Update Added
The new tool is called Classwork in Teams for Education which is an addition to its Classroom offering, Microsoft's way for users to bring everything together from assignments to links, files, and more.
With the versatility of users of Microsoft Teams, the company is adding additional features and products to ensure that users of its video conferencing app remain engaged and get a better experience. Some of the features will be released in previews with the full version happening later on.
