Microsoft Teams- New Features
The company said that Microsoft users could access key AV features quickly, with a single touch from the Meeting toolbar, or with access to additional options on the side panel in a simple way.
To use these features, users will need to click the downward arrow next to the 'Camera' button or the 'Mic' button on the Meeting toolbar during a meeting, and then click either the More Video Options link or the More Audio Options which are linked at the bottom of the menu to open the side panel.
Users can further access those settings by clicking on the 'More Actions' button available on the Meeting toolbar, and then select either Audio settings or Video effects and settings- the company explained.

These new features should be rolled out to all Teams users in the coming months. Meanwhile, Microsoft has started rolling out its AI-powered tool ‘Reading Coach’ as a standalone app, which provides learners with personalised reading practice. This tool will be free to all users who have a Microsoft account.
