Table of contents:
One of the Microsoft applications that has gained the most strength as a result of the current pandemic situation we are experiencing is Teams. The Redmond-based company's tool to improve teamwork, whether in professional or educational environments and that in recent weeks we have seen how it has been strengthened with new features and enhancements.
"More possibilities like the ones that now come with the latest updates. Novelties among which is the so-called dynamic view that facilitates work when sharing files or the possibility of unite all the participants in a video call in a kind of virtual room thanks to Mode Together"
Video calls, more dynamic
Of all the novelties that this update brings, it cannot be denied that the so-called Mode Together> is the most striking, a function that will reach users in August. If the video calls seemed boring, this is something that you can change, because with this tool all the participants of the video call are in the same virtual environment."
"WhatTeams does is cut out the background that appears in each person&39;s call. Onlyremains> which he then places in a predetermined virtual environment such as a classroom with virtual chairs, a court or a cafeteria."
"With Mode Together>the video call becomes more dynamic, since everyone is integrated into a virtual room, it is easier to keep them under control>" "
Mode Together allows up to a total of 49 participants to participate and allows you to interact in a certain way with them by knowing the position of each one with respect to the others"
Easier to share documents
But along with this striking and aesthetic improvement, Teams also seeks to improve performance when sharing documents, jobs, or files. Thus it will integrate a new dynamic view that allows you to share files or presentations comfortably next to each user's windows.
Also will improve the quality of the transmitted video, by adding filters and light and color correction and will make it more accessible when counting with live automatic sub titles. Likewise, the number of participants is increased, which with this update rises to 1,000 users per video call or 20,000, in the event that they are only attending a presentation.
Finally, the company announced that they have partnered with Lenovo and Yealink to create smart speakers with displays that integrate Microsoft Teams to perform directly calls with the application. We recently saw for example the Yaelink VC210 and now we know that the Lenovo ThinkSmart View will be one of the first devices to have this specification.
