Microsoft Teams update

Update | Monday, August 10, 2020

Microsoft Teams has a new meeting and calling experience for the desktop app that is now available to all users. You may enable it by turning on the new experience in Teams .

These features are only available in the desktop version of Teams, which is recommended for full functionality. 

Features in the new meeting experience include:

• Meetings and calls pop out into their own window for convenience
• Meeting and call controls are docked at the top of the meeting making them easily accessible without blocking content being shared
•  New views to change the way you collaborate and connect with others

Below: Large Gallery view - 7x7 video is here- See up to 49 video streams at one time. 

Below: Together mode- Makes you feel like you are all in the same room; great for group discussions or instructors who miss the classroom.

For assistance with the new meeting experience, check out the knowledge base article New Meeting Experience in Teams.
