Key notes
- Microsoft has released new features on the Teams app designed to keep frontline workers on the move.
- The developments aim to manage devices and shift more concentration and time on the task at hand.
- There has been an increase in the use of Microsoft Teams in the past year owing to the pandemic.
Microsoft has announced its plans to keep frontline workers on the move instead of being tied up to one position for long periods of time by rolling out a public preview of Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Lately, the new additions such as file sharing and video calls on the Teams app have greatly enhanced its functionality.
The expansion is focused on purpose-built devices such as head-mounted wearables and other integrated with teams. According to Microsoft, workers can dedicate more time to consumers and the tasks at hand if they are not tied to their desks.
Viva connections
In other related news, Viva Connections also takes part in the developments as it plans to release its mobile in November. The preview happened earlier this month. The Viva Connections app helps in dissemination of information through Teams and is built on SharePoint, Teams Live events, Yammer, and Steam Video.
