Microsoft has recently rolled out updates that could change the way we view flexible workplaces. Using AI technology, they aim to improve both how and where we work. Two key tools in this change are Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, which are now getting new features to facilitate coordination and modernize the workplace experience.
Improved coordination with AI
It can be challenging to organise meetings and meetings in a flexible working environment. Microsoft has introduced new AI-powered features in Teams and SharePoint that simplify this process. By using a unified calendar, users can now easily plan their workdays and get recommendations on when it's best to work from the office. This calendar works seamlessly between Teams and Outlook, making it easy to see colleagues' plans and get suggestions for the best days to gather at the office.
Modernization of the workplace
Understanding where colleagues are and having access to technology that enables inclusive meetings is not entirely easy. Within Microsoft Teams, you can now easily update your workplace presence (where you work), making it easier to spontaneously meet colleagues. In addition, Teams offers enhanced features for hybrid meetings, such as AI-enhanced cameras and video feeds that help bridge the gap between physical and virtual attendees.
