Microsoft Teams: Improve the whiteboard, automatic transcription and more

In the last year and a half, tools such as Microsoft Teams have undergone a great and sudden evolution forced by the pandemic emergency and by the new needs it has dictated, with forced smart working that has made video calls a central element of the working life of many people.

And even if the offices are filling up again today, Teams does not stop updating itself periodically by integrating changes and news. Among those presented by Microsoft for this month stands out above all the renewed blackboard in order to allow you to draw and organize ideas with more people gathered in space for visual collaboration and common work thanks to over 40 new customizable templates and the possibility of inserting images and shapes and 8 new reactions. You can also open documents such as PowerPoint presentations on the whiteboard and write with 15 new pens and highlighter colors to clearly and clearly differentiate information.

In addition, real-time transcription is now also implemented for unscheduled meetings as long as the organizer has enabled the appropriate “Allow transcription” option. Workgroups have also been affected by some changes: Presenters can now be set up to manage them, and attendee configurations and activities can be selected before a meeting starts (at least in the Teams desktop app).

Finally, other minor improvements include the addition of a new overlay mode for PowerPoint presentations, support for 1:1 calling in the Safari web browser, support for landline calls for multiple countries and services, viewing and improved Visio file editing and more: find the complete list of all the news at the link in SOURCE.
