Features rolling out to the Microsoft Teams app for Android
– Quick access to Microsoft Whiteboard
Teams Rooms users can quickly launch Whiteboard – a convenient digital brainstorming board – with a single touch, and now you can start a whiteboard session from a range of supported screens at any time during formal and informal meetings.
Touch control improvements
New enhancements now allow you to use touch screen devices to control the room system using the room’s front touch screen or touch console. This ease of access allows users to engage with Teams Room sessions using their preferred devices.
Chat bubbles
Microsoft has introduced a new chat bubble tool that will display chats on a meeting on the room’s head-up display. This allows you to keep track of the conversation happening during the meeting without opening the chat window separately.
Getting in and out of ad-hoc meetings while brainstorming is even more convenient now that Microsoft has added a Start Meeting button on the Whiteboard screen.
4K support for meetings
To offer the best experience for users who have Teams Rooms meetings on big screens, Microsoft has added 4K support to the app.
Design a new share menu
There’s a reworked design in the Share menu for Teams Rooms. Clicking Share on the meeting control bar brings up the available content options such as Microsoft Whiteboard. Using this feature will start the meeting and automatically broadcast the scoreboard to the meeting participants.
