People can interact with 3D content or engage with one another through Mesh-enabled apps across any platform or device, not just HoloLens, but also smartphones, tablets, PCs and other virtual reality headsets, Microsoft said. Users are meant to feel like they are physically present regardless of geographical location because they can connect to a meeting as an avatar or holographic versions of themselves. Perhaps the biggest drop during Ignite this year was Microsoft’s new mixed-reality platform Microsoft Mesh, which “powers collaborative experiences with a feeling of presence,” Microsoft said. Soon a feature to disable video will also be generally available in an effort to limit potential disruptions. Invite-only meeting controls are coming in March to ensure only intended participants join a meeting. Security: Teams will support end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for one-to-one Teams calls so organizations can help customers meet their security and compliance requirements. This is in private preview until later in 2021. It also applies those names and profiles to the meeting transcript. This speaker can identify and differentiate the voices of up to 10 people talking in a Microsoft Teams Room, helping attendees better follow along or capture action items. In addition to certifying audio and video hardware optimized for Microsoft Team meetings (Dell Video Conferencing Monitor and Poly Studio P21), Microsoft has launched its own intelligent speaker. Microsoft Teams Intelligent Speaker: To help deliver a more inclusive meeting experience for all participants regardless of geographic locations, Microsoft is equipping meeting rooms with technology to better facilitate collaboration. There will soon be different types of presenter modes, including “Standout,” which overlays the speaker on top of the shared content. This feature then allows other meeting goers to personalize their experience by navigating the content at their own pace. Microsoft PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams: To help remove the awkwardness that can happen with sharing screens during at Teams meeting – and encourage interaction – the new presentation mode for Teams allows presenters to lead meetings with notes, slides, the meeting chat and participants all in a single view.

Teams will soon also have the ability to export webinar contacts directly from Teams into Dynamics 365 Marketing to engage with audiences before, during and after events. If a webinar grows to over 1,000 attendees, Teams can scale to accommodate a 10,000-person view-only broadcast experience. The Webinars offer custom registration, rich presentation options, host controls such as the ability to disable attendee chat and video and post-event reporting. Webinars: Microsoft has expanded Teams’ capabilities to allow users to organize interactive webinars for those inside and outside an organization with up to 1,000 attendees. This will be made generally available later this year. Through a shared channel, organizations can seamlessly collaborate with customers, partners, suppliers or any other external party. Teams Connect: Now in private preview, organizations can leverage the collaboration capabilities that Teams provides, including chat, meetings and real-time document co-authoring, both internally and externally while maintaining control over how users access data and information.
