At the end of the year, Microsoft has released new updates for Teams that can improve your life. These updates are especially relevant for those who use Teams for meetings, webinars, and collaborations through Teams Rooms and other devices.
Meeting management in Teams
One of the latest updates allows users of the Teams web app to take control during screen sharing. This means that you can now request control when someone else shares their screen, which can facilitate collaboration during meetings.
Webinars and Town Halls
For those who organize webinars and Town Halls, there is now the option to download transcripts of these events. In addition, support for RTMP-In 708 subtitling has been added, providing improved subtitling capabilities for digital video formats.
Improvements to Teams Rooms and Units
Several updates have been introduced for Teams Rooms, especially for Android devices. The whiteboard feature has been improved and now allows content to be preserved and shared with attendees even when a meeting starts. The “Follow me” function helps you guide participants, and collaborative courses make it possible to see everyone working in real time.
In addition, a range of new devices and panels are now available that can optimize your meeting experience. Examples of these include Cisco Room Navigator, Yealink Room Panel E2, and Poly Studio X72. These devices offer features such as improved accessibility, easy integration with calendars, and opportunities for instant bookings.

By staying up to date with the latest Teams features and devices, you can ensure your team has the tools to work efficiently and smoothly, whether you're working remotely or on site in the office.
