The most useful feature here is the the new way channel chats, channel information and pinned posts are organised!

[SikanderIqbal]

Snapchat filters in Teams is exactly what was missing in all my work meetings.

[yourcoach]

I now always just do a check to ensure a Snapchat filter is not enabled before I join a meeting - as I don’t think I could explain having a cat on my head 😂

[carolinequinn]

I wish it was possible to schedule posts. I have requested this feature a number of times from Microsoft as have others. I use Teams with my students to post what work was covered in class that day and the homework to be completed. This is very helpful to those students who were absent from class and their parents so they are informed regarding the work to be caught up on. However, I think it would be very helpful and good for teachers and students in terms of their right to disconnect from their devices if teachers could schedule and plan when posts went out. Teachers can schedule chat messages but not posts. Surely, they should be able to do both!

looking forward to checking those new features Mike..top notch as usual

[Timo-M]

I would prefer to have a power and bandwidth savings mode (or user selectable resolution/fps/bandwidth settings) on the desktop version instead of some filters that look fun, yet would rarely add value in a business context.

[zenow]

I like the new chat.
When will they get rid of the General Channel?

[learnitinstructor]

Please change your screen resolution. It's extremely difficult to see the screen content at this resolution. Thanks. From another Teams trainer.

[ryzerman]

I wish I could add channel chats to my regular chats so they all reside in one place

[cheeseparis]

Why is the "device settings" hidden under two levels of submenus, I use this CONSTANTLY and always waste everyone's time. "Views" has direct access and I love it

[cheeseparis]

zooming in a meeting has been existing for a while with ctrl-scrollwheel, but it's a PITA when the person talking is explaining something else and you can't see their cursor. Display menu and hide icons help keeping all screen readable.

[bobbynygaardchrisitansen]

Hope you will also introduce a better way to refresh settings other than to have clear settings in the background and signing out and in.
Maybe a better settings menu.

We teachers still need a feature to copy whole courses in education. Been waiting forever for that :/

[Vinseanity_]

I hope these features can be used while using "New Teams" mode as well

[ScarletRojas]

I remember that zoom has a virtual pen. Does teams have it? I know it has but when it comes to ppt live but I use other apps to present my class. Can you help?

[MrSaue-mshd]

Can we use transparent png for our backgrounds in Teams now?

All I want to do is add a company logo to my video.

[cauda]

Will be able to upload custom banners when creating announcements again, or is this feature retired?

[vesaruusunen]

Do you know if Loop is something that company admins can disable? Because Loop is not available anymore in my Teams nor Outlook.

[raymond_luxury_yacht]

the TPS reports thing is actually a coded cry for help. Mike's stuck in that hell and no one has recused him because they think it's just fun. PLEASE HELP HIM!
