Q&A in webinars is so useful. One thing for people to note is if you want to moderate you have to make sure the participants are set as attendees otherwise their questions will be published directly.

Thanks Matt. Lots to get excited about here.

[ShafiqKhan]

Cool upcoming features... Like the chat self option & message schedule facility

@ 5:17 Liking the new chat density, emojis and time zone features.

Teams shared channels can’t come soon enough. I hope this schedule is solid and won’t be delayed again.

Wonderful updates, still waiting for the option to “hide reply previews” from the chat sidebar. Anyone who has shared their screen knows the chat pane shows wayyy to much detail

[davidcarrico]

Nice features, I hope they are straight forward and easy to use. Some things Microsoft implements in teams has not been intuitive (e.g. having to load the forms app to get polls) and hurts user adoption on some otherwise great features.

[davidcarrico]

So the bring to screen feature seems very similar to spotlight or presenter view. However, I saw spotlight in the menu with bring to screen. I think they are giving too many options here making it confusing for users but my big question is, will ‘bring to screen’ be respected by recordings? As you know spotlight and presenter view are currently ignored/not respected by recordings.

[briankgarland]

Perfect recap. And no cringey woke garbage.

Hey Matt the background music is somewhat distracting. Could you lower it a bit?
