LinkedIn will allow you to edit messages once sent and make video calls with Zoom or Teams directly from messages

Motivated or not by the exceptional situation we are experiencing, the truth is that teleworking is replacing professional tasks and the way in which they were carried out in many areas, at least today. Working from home and remotely is common and that is why the need to be connected so as not to miss opportunities is essential.

LinkedIn has announced the arrival of more functions that seek to facilitate communication between users of the social network designed for professionals and work environments.If at the time we saw how video streaming arrived, now it's time for calls via Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

All from the message itself

The new function is also very easy to use, since we can start a video call via Zoom or Teams directly from the message we have received. This option is available both in an existing conversation and in another that we are going to start.

To make use of it, just click on the video icon located in the part intended to write the message. We will then see a pop-up window where we can choose between Teams, Zoom or BlueJeans with Verizon (this last case if we are in the United States). And next to the three options, a message to log in.

In addition, along with support for making video calls from received messages, we can also manage messages in bulk, respond to themselves with an emoticon, edit them after sending it, something that can be very useful in case you have made a mistake in the writing of the text.

"

If what we want is to delete different messages from the inbox, now we can do it as a group. It is enough to press and hold a message to see how checkboxes appear. We mark the messages that we want to delete and then click on Delete."

"

To edit the message simply press and hold or double-tap the message to open a menu of options. Then we must place the cursor over the message until we see a pop-up window with…. There we will see the options to edit or delete said message."

In the case of reactions to messages with emojis, we can access them by double-tapping or long-pressing on the message to open, as before, the options menu.We will see how an options menu opens and we select the tools to add the emoticon.

These improvements are not yet available and from the company they affirm that they will begin to deploy them throughout the fall.
