Great to see all your feature updtes on here Mike! And your YouTube channel is doing great!!

[hogne]

Apart from at-mentioning everyone, none of these are something I want to use. Especially the avatar one is something I just don't see any use for. I wish Microsoft would instead fix all the missing features and bugs in Teams, that customers have complained about in the forums for several years now. Instead they keep on introducing new stuff all the time in Teams. It only increases the learning curve and it's overwhelming new users, not used to Teams or that way of working. I see it every week in my Teams courses. It's way too much stuff and features. It's the same thing that ruined Outlook and made it a bloated piece of software where people only use 5% of the features.

i wonder if the effects and avatars feature is not disabled in my company. i am only seeing Video effects. i have checked for updates, but still no luck.

[Tancread]

Those are some meaty updates for spring. Good stuff in there.

[bierbrauer]

Zooming has been available for a while. Just hold <ctrl > and use the scroll wheel on the mouse

[chrishaselden]

When creating the Avatar, it would be nice if you could have a webcam view side by side to assist in matching the features.

[davidcarrico]

When will loop be supported in Teams channel posts?

[zfun]

Hmmm i don’t have the avatar option. Any idea how i can zoom in on emails when presenting them?

[ajrichardson]

In the new sharing mini-window, is there a way to see when a new person joined your meeting while you're presenting?

[omerfsen]

When is multi account for desktop clients are coming?

[luisgmz]

Mike. What software do you use to record your videos ? Which are great by the way ‘

[razu]

Some good stuff coming. Whiteboard integration is possibly the best. Just one thing: Who wants to make 2 or more clicks to just zoom? UX is still not a strong point of Microsoft.

Hi Mike, love your videos for inspiration for our educational use.
One request: please get yourself a microphone for the intro recording, so there isn't a big sound difference compared to the rest of the video :-)

[Sstrplayer]

For example I give a assignment turn it in then unturned it then delete the Dokument and put a new one better one can they see the old one before one?

[YusufMumtaz]

When will this be available to Consumers?

I wish we could write messages using the presenter window, too. It's difficult to go back and forth to write a message when sharing the screen.

[MisterReginald]

avatar not showing up on my teams, full up to date. Does it need to be enabled?

[harrij.]

Can you show how to stop Teams from auto-cropping the camera image?

[pcbona]

Sadly still no "share parts of a screen" feature. i am working on an ultrawide and if I share my whole screen, others dont see anything because its streched and very small. Sharing only a window would solve this, but sadly i often have to share multiple windows. Show the code editor, then switch to the browser to see the result. its unpractical to have to stop sharing one window and start sharing the other every few minutes. If i could just share a portion of the screen, i could always move the important window into the shared area and switch windows without any issues.

To be released in 2025? Why do they keep announcing things that are nowhere near ready?
