ASIA PACIFIC, 9 JULY 2020 Microsoft today announced a set of new features in Microsoft Teams that make virtual interactions more organic and engaging, supporting the global shift into a more hybrid model of work, learning and life.

With the new Microsoft Teams features, users can enjoy greater connectivity, reduced meeting fatigue and more inclusive meetings, all while saving time. These features including together mode, video filters, live reactions, touchless meeting experiences and more start rolling out in preview today and will be fully available later this year.

Over the last few months, we have worked with experts across virtual reality, AI, and productivity research to better understand the future of work. These findings, published here, have been useful in guiding us to design these new features. Our research has shown that many of us feel less connected since moving to remote work, hence we want to bring a more human element into online meetings. We also want to streamline their experiences across apps and devices, with technology like AI to save time and improve overall well-being, which is of highest importance during this time, said Rosalind Quek, General Manager, Modern Work, Asia Solution Sales at Microsoft Asia.
