Thanks Mike! I really wish they would change the status indicator for when someone is on a call instead of making it the same as when someone is just busy. It would be simple to add a phone icon or make the red indicator blink or something else. I’ve already asked this through the use your voice feedback loop. I can’t be the only one looking for something like this

[michaelshelnutt]

Thanks for the quick easy to view new features!

Hi Mike, Great content - thank you , when i start a poll I cannot see the add a piture option ?

[Lynbrooke]

Great new features. Looking forward to using them

[oheh]

Great video! Thank you for always providing great content.
Questions:
1. When you say chat with a group, you mentioned distribution list/group and security group. I noticed you didn't specifically say Microsoft 365 groups. Are they included?
2. If yes to a M365 group, am I correct to assume that if it is hidden from the GAL, it will not show up?
3. If you delete a chat, and that person sends you a new message, does the entire chat history come back (I assume yes)?
I'll go sit down and test all my questions out later, but these we're the top three that came to mind as I watched.

Awesome stuff. When will we be able to add co-organizers when scheduling the meeting? We are only able to do it when meeting has started.

[evelynramirez]

Good info. Would love to be able to minimize the meeting window more(while still viewing ALL participants). It takes up too much real estate which makes it hard to multitask on the screen

[danielbub]

Thanks for this!
What about copying a message will copy the sender header also?

[WalbertoFlores]

Thanks Mike! Always with useful information! I will teach this new features in Spanish in a webinar this week :)

[KNiclson]

Can cohosts and presenters be set from the meeting schedule view? So if I am setting the meeting but cant make it i wouod want to set that in advance

[mike-williams]

The captions always on is great for those of us with hearing issues. However it would help if they were "always on" when someone was presenting in full screen mode

[zetube]

Thanks for the information

I love technology

[cynthiaconstantin]

Great Video! How can we get rid of the shadow/contour that appears behind our head?

[MrRichyDude]

Does anyone know if that effect at 0:06 (where it spins multiple screens in a curved way) has a particular name?

[nevineasfour]

amazing!!!! Thanks for the clear expatiation.

[kevinshaw]

It would be great to see more development attention for educators. Being able to assign a group of students other channels currently you can only assign to other channels if the assignment is the entire class. Forms why can we not choose questions from other or existing forms to make a final exam? The ability to hide parts of grade book or create grade books for different quarters/ semesters

[EisesKrieger]

Thanks Mike for this great content. When is Microsoft planning to add support to AirPods devices in Microsoft Teams? It’s an interoperability issue that’s been around for a while and some users would really appreciate if Microsoft takes care of it. Thanks!

[clarebooth]

A query regarding accessibility for low vision. I am unable to see the small names of people in the meeting. How would it be made easier to minute a meeting knowing who is speaking with the issue I have

[MauricioVillegasValencia]

They should add multiple account support, sometimes you're studying and working and both places uses teams, so you need to add multiple accounts to teams but you can't. And slack has this option...
