It's a new year, so I thought I'd start the year by mentioning three features already released, or soon going to be released. One of the features improves the workflow of sharing files with comments, the other improves the application specific Copilot, and the last feature makes it easer to find the nest available timeslot for a 1:1 meeting. As with all of my other posts, timelines can shift, and the timelines in this post is as written in the Message Center at the time of posting. AI-Summary experience when sharing files.

New calling features coming to Teams

on

There are a couple of new calling features coming to Teams soon, that will close the gap between SFBO and Teams. You might want to inform users of the following new capabilities:
  • Multiple Number Dialing: If a contact have multiple numbers stored in their profile, Teams will allow the user to select a number from the chat header where they can select audio and video calls. Roadmap ID 66194. The feature should be available by the end of August
  • Call merging: Allowing users to have multiple 1:1 calls and join them into a group call. Roadmap ID 66054 This feature should also be available by the end of August, and will apply to VOIP and PSTN calls
This is certainly an improvement to the calling features, but there are still some features missing for a full parity between Teams and SFB.
