Microsoft Details Teams Updates at Ignite
At its Ignite event today, Microsoft revealed a host of updates to Microsoft Teams and made several meeting room device announcements.
For meetings, updates include:
PowerPoint Live :- PowerPoint Live in Teams allows presenters to lead meetings with notes, PowerPoint slides, and participants all from a single view.
Presenter mode :- meeting presenters can customize with three presenting options:
- Standout : Standout allows a speaker’s video feed to appear in front of the content
- Reporter : Reporter shows content above a presenter’s shoulder
- Side-by-side : Side-by-side features the presenter’s video feed and content next to each other.
Dynamic view :- As people join a video meeting or as they speak, Teams will adjust the meeting layout, Microsoft said.
Invite-only meetings :- With invite-only meetings, hosts can better control who joins a meeting and ensure that only intended participants join a meeting.
End-to-end encryption (E2EE) for 1:1 unscheduled Teams calls :- Available in preview first half of 2021, the initial release will allow admins to specify which users can use E2EE for 1:1 unscheduled calls.
More gallery views for Teams Rooms :- Together Mode and large gallery view options are now GA for Teams Rooms.
