These new Microsoft Teams features are coming in the next few days
Summary
Microsoft has announced that a raft of new Microsoft Teams features which it flagged earlier this month will be reaching end users in the next few days, while the much anticipated ability to see 49 people on screen at once is coming in the next few weeks. The Large Gallery will be welcomed especially by teachers whove complained on Microsofts user forum that nine people on screen simultaneously was too few to properly handle classrooms, which often have more than nine students. Microsoft officials believe Together Mode will help alleviate virtual-meeting fatigue and make meetings feel more real. Unfortunately, the Large Gallery and Together Mode are being rolled out gradually over the next few weeks, rather than days as is the case with the new break-out windows for chats and video. Microsoft notes that there are other features to come, like message extension, and the InVision Freehand digital whiteboard.
