microsoft got pretty busy this year at their ignite 2022 event introducing improvements to
microsoft teams microsoft viva and many more of their existing experiences now
microsoft teams has evolved a lot in the last couple of years and in particular the last two
years for the hybrid and remote environments naturally with the situation microsoft have
invested a lot more in helping bridge that gap and experience now today i wanted to dive into three
major updates the microsoft teams brought in their inspire 22 event and dive into what they
mean for the general microsoft ecosystem so if you're new here welcome to keep productive my
name is francesco and if you're new then you can join us here on the channel and subscribe if you
do enjoy this video please do like it because it makes it more accessible to everyone else
on youtube and they can find this video too you can also become a subscriber or a follower on tick
tock as well and i'll put that link in description so first off microsoft teams introduce something
called excel live and it's really interesting to see how this system is working so basically
excel live is embedded inside of microsoft teams and it can go two ways when you're inside
a microsoft teams meeting you can essentially start an excel live on a particular workbook
or a document that you have in excel and start collaborating in real time together
what it would do is it will follow whoever is hosting the meeting which means the sort of view
of excel live will go to that particular person's page or sheet that they're working on
and you can collaborate all together on it now it's really interesting because they're really
honing in on this experience in terms of making these apps more live and interactive and if you
are already inside of excel you can actually start a meeting directly from there without having to
go through monks of teams every single time which is helpful for be able to bring it up quickly and
collaborate in real time now next up the video clips feature video clips have been something
that slack and loom and many of the other applications have invested a lot more in
loom more predominantly as the sort of trend setter in space sharing these short videos can
be so helpful and actually reduce the need for meetings because you can either share your screen
or actually just talk to the camera and make it more easy to understand well slack introduced this
feature a couple of months ago with the ability to upload short videos inside of their platform
which makes it easier to collaborate and share screen and details etc but microsoft teams are
bringing this edition to microsoft teams allowing you to essentially share it in line without having
to navigate outside of the application you can do the regular stuff like modify the camera modify
the microphone choices and you can even review it before you send it which means you can clip
it down but not necessarily micro manage the whole thing just the book ends i guess
to make sure that it gets you not stuttering or anything like that so a good addition in terms
of a new feature now the final feature i wanted to focus on is something called live share and this
is interesting because microsoft are investing more and more in their platforms focusing more
on the applications and integration side and this is a pretty big one for that essentially
like with excel live and powerpoint live they want people to be able to collaborate in and
with applications in real time so they're building more of a platform and a system where developers
can actually create these applications that allow you to modify collaborate comment edit and view in
real time inside of a microsoft teams meeting so you can see this with the example in particular
the sort of engine in hexagon and being able to sort of detect all of the information about
it and you can see in the bottom right hand corner as well things like back to presenter and request
control but being able to have these things in front of you and collaborate in real time
is a pretty crazy addition to microsoft teams so there's some more recent updates they did a lot of
stuff with microsoft fever which i'll cover sooner in the start of august but if you're interested in
more teams features we've got one coming out about five microf teams apps that can help you be more
productive and we're doing also some more features to dive into updates that microsoft present
so a big big thank you and i hope to see you in an upcoming video so if you enjoyed today make
sure you like it and i look forward to diving into more microsoft content cheers folks bye
you
