Upcoming Enhancements to Microsoft Teams Meeting Chat Controls

As an example, it is possible to get to the chat of the meeting and start the discussion up front or continue the discussions or ask follow up questions after the meeting is over.  But sometimes, there are scenarios where organizer would want to keep the chat closed for comments outside of the meeting timeframe.

New Live package

Along with messenger, the other live products have also been updated. And the whole package has the look and feel of the new Live services online. It looks like the developers have been collaborating on this one. Way to go :)
