What’s New in Microsoft 365 Copilot for Word Microsoft continues to evolve its Copilot capabilities in Word, bringing powerful new features that enhance productivity and streamline workflows.

Features keep coming out for Teams in high speed these days. Just the other day my company Teams client was able to change the scenery for "together mode". If you turn on your together mode, you should be able to click a "change" button in the bottom left corner of the meeting window. 

For now you can select between a couple of presets provided by Microsoft. Please note the following important notes:

  • When you change the background, everyone who uses the together mode will see the same image
  • Presenters may change the images, attendees may not.
