In August, Microsoft Teams introduces new features and enhancements to boost productivity and user experience. One standout feature is Copilot, which allows users to search chat history using time-based phrases like “last month” for efficient information retrieval. Additionally, Channel cards provide a snapshot of key channel information, making it easier to understand the context and purpose of each channel.
Moreover, users can now request to join shared channels via channel links, streamlining collaboration and reducing administrative tasks for channel owners. Apps are now supported in group chats with external users, enhancing collaboration across organizations. The ability to show/hide the discover feed in Teams helps users stay informed with personalized content.
In the Meetings category, intelligent meeting recaps with AI-generated notes and tasks are now available in the Government Community Cloud environment, streamlining post-meeting processes. Participants in unscheduled town halls using Android devices can access AI-generated notes and tasks for missed meetings. Town hall reactions allow real-time expression during town hall meetings, enhancing participant engagement.
For Teams Rooms and Devices, IT admins can now upload custom background images for Teams Rooms on Android, providing a personalized touch to meeting rooms. Text and UI resizing for Teams Rooms on Windows allows admins to adjust text and UI elements for better visibility. Certified devices like the Yealink CM20 Ceiling Audio System and Logitech Rally Bar enhance audio and video conferencing experiences.
In the Teams Phone category, eligible callers in call queues can now receive a callback when an agent becomes available, improving customer service interactions. These new features and enhancements aim to make Microsoft Teams even more powerful and user-friendly, catering to diverse collaboration needs across organizations.
