Thanks to the demand for work-from-home, we\u2019ve all become very used to using Microsoft Teams. We love the way it combines all our messaging, phone calls, conferencing into one, we love the way it works on all our devices and we\u2019re adding smarts with various \u2018bots into it.<\/p>\n
As with all Microsoft products, it keeps evolving. Over the last few months, we\u2019ve got used to seeing the menus change a little in Teams calls. We\u2019ve seen virtual break-out rooms added to conference calls, more controls around audio and cameras and so on.<\/p>\n
What a name! Despite that moniker, it\u2019s going to be huge! It\u2019s going to save us in that situation when there\u2019s a bunch of people in a meeting room, using Teams together, and someone turns on Teams on their device and suddenly everyone is subjected to a barrage of feedback and echo. With “ultrasound howling detection”, Teams will realise what has happened and automatically shut down every mic and speaker in the room except for the person talking. Anyone else joining the room subsequently will automatically have their mic turned off as well.<\/p>\n

Profile cards are the boxes that appear when you hover your mouse over people\u2019s names in Outlook and Teams. Microsoft are adding to this. If the information is available in LinkedIn, then Teams will pull that into the card and tell you about birthdays and recent career changes. It will also look into Outlook and give you a heads-up on pending meetings with that person<\/p>\n
