Microsoft Teams has been updated with the ability to allow third-party apps during meetings. You will be able to make use of the third-party apps on Microsoft Teams on both post-meetings and pre-meetings phase. With the recent development, third-party app developers and software vendors will be able to integrate their apps and services with Teams meetings. You will be able to host collaborative and interactive meetings including the ability to share new types of data without making use of the screen sharing option.
According to company sources, the inclusion of third-party apps inside Microsoft Teams will not only enable Teams video calls but also will be useful for participants. Some of the example scenarios include a third-party Agenda app could be added as a tab in the pre-meeting window. You can also implement a third-party summary file in the post-meeting chat window. We don’t have any idea about the list of third-party apps that are expected to support Microsoft Teams.
In addition to third-party apps support, Microsoft also announced new features. This includes Microsoft Lists, which is expected to find limelight next month. However, this feature will be available only for the web-based client.
You can also track issues, assets, routines, inventory, and contacts with the help of customized views, rules, and comments. The Redmond-based software giant revealed that the new feature will be available for Android and iOS platforms by the end of 2020.
To recall, Microsoft Teams had launched Together Mode, which improves the video calling experience during the COVID-19 pandemic phase. The main purpose of this feature is to decrease the fatigue arising out of the long video call. The Together Mode makes use of the revolutionary AI segmentation technology, which place users in a shared background and also reduces background distractions.
