- Microsoft -Teams adding sliding control function for more users
- Must allow for smooth operation of presentations and calls
- Set to release in May 2025 but only on Windows to begin
Taking control of presentations on a Microsoft team call can finally be a smoother process thanks to a new update.
The video conference service has announced that it works on a fine tuning that allows more people to control slides presented on a meeting or call.
Microsoft says the addition will mean that presenters are able to maintain “a smooth stream during meetings or webinars” – and honestly, I can’t believe it has taken so long before such a tool was introduced.
Microsoft -Teams slides control
In a Microsoft 365 update of blog posts announcing the feature, Microsoft notes that it will mean that meeting or event hosts can now share control of slides with their co -representatives.
This should mean the end of manual slides – and hopefully the phrase “next slide thank you”, which I think we’ve all heard too much in the last few years.
The blog post does not go exactly into a lot of details about how the feature actually works in practice, so we will have to guess that it will be added to the meeting capacity.
The fact that it will allow more presenters to have the ability to control object glasses should probably mean that it requires some kind of approval when we participate in a call or that these members manually choose from the person creating the call – we just have to wait and see.
The feature is currently listed as “under development”, but Microsoft has targeted a release date in May 2025, which means users do not have too long to wait. Upon release, the company says it will be available to all users on Windows Desktop to begin with.
The launch is the latest in a number of recent improvements to Microsoft teams that the company announced as it seems to make the platform more intuitive.
This includes the recent launch of real -time text (RTT) features, allowing participants to write a message while someone else’s speech is transcribed, giving users who prefer to write to speak another way to make sure their voices come out there.
