Key notes
Microsoft Teams got a lot of improvements at theMicrosoft Build 2020event. From those, we can mention pop-up apps, Power Automate RPA templates, andsimplified Teams Chatbots with Power Virtual Agents.
And these are just a few of the new Teams features announced on theBuild 2020 website.
Microsoft Teams adds support for camera and GPS to developers
Now, Microsoft added a new task on theMicrosoft 365 Roadmap websitespecifying that it is preparing a Microsoft Teams update in July 2020 that will include new tools fordevelopers:
Microsoft Teams: Support for native devicecameraand location capabilities for Personal apps and tabs
Appdeveloperswill be able to use mobile native capabilities like capturing an image through thecameraand providing location coordinates through GPS.
Microsoft is clearly referring tomobileapps. Thedeveloperswill be able to use thecameraand GPS capabilities of thesmartphoneto pack into their new apps.
Microsoft Teams increases the number of simultaneous videos in meetings
Another improvement that is going to roll out in July 2020 is the increasednumber of simultaneous videos in Teams meetings for GCC High and DoD customers.
We are increasing the number of participants who can be viewed simultaneously on the Teams meeting stage from 4 to 9.
This new experience optimizes for attendees who have enabled video and places the remaining audio-only participants below the meeting stage.
To provide a high audio and video quality experience, the layout logic will consider user bandwidth and alter the number of videos shown to provide the best meeting experience.
We have to specify that Microsoftalreadyincreased the number of simultaneous videos in meetings forGCC customers.
