The beginning of the year 2022 brought not only several innovations that make it easier to work with MS Teams, but also a free web version of Microsoft Visio, a tool for drawing diagrams and creating graphics.
Microsoft Visio tool specializes in drawing schemes and creating graphics and diagrams, now available for free in the web version. For example, project developers will appreciate it, but it can also be used by those who work with the process or the component modeling. You can access it either from the web application menu or directly via this link.
During the calls in MS Teams, you can use a practical novelty, thanks to which there is no need to ask who raised his/her hand first. In the list of all meeting participants, you will now see next to "raised hand" the numerical order of people who and when raised their hands to ask for the word.
If you trust digital translators, you can have your presentation shared in MS Teams translated into a foreign language. In addition to English, you can also try German, Spanish, French, Italian, and other languages on offer.
If you use the sharing mails feature to Teams chat, you can find this option newly in the Outlook web application.
It is another minor adjustment that will please and simplify the work. You can share the presentation to the ongoing Teams meeting you are logged in from the desktop application directly via the button in the upper right corner (see image below). However, it must be saved on OneDrive or Sharepoint to share the presentation in this way.
Don't be afraid if you can't find this feature in your MS Teams. It should appear after the next Office package update.
