We know that this school year has had its ups and downs, and we are so grateful to you for all your hard work and dedication to not only helping students learn but supporting their wellbeing. If there is something you’d like to see more of, please let us know! We’re always listening. Last month, we announced a number of innovations to help in and out of the classroom including PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams, Live Reactions in meetings, Invite-only meeting options in private meetings, downloading attendance reports, and more. This month, whether you’re teaching remotely, hybrid, or back in person, we’re excited to share the lasts updates to the Teams experience to help you: Let’s dive in! (Click here to jump right into a quick list without extra description) 1) Encourage class participation during synchronous learning Meeting recap Access all the relevant files for the class or meeting like recordings, transcripts, notes, and files in one easy view. Students will either be able to see the recordings, transcript, and files in the meeting chat or channel, or for private meetings by going to their calendar, expanding the meeting, and clicking on the “Details” tab at the top. Those who missed the meeting, joined late, or want to revisit what was discussed, can play the recording and visit class transcripts. Get an easily shared meeting link from the Calendar Users can now copy a meeting link from the Calendar tab and share it out with others without starting the meeting. If you are in an email, chat, or channel conversation and agreed to meet at a certain time, this is an easy way to copy a meeting link and paste it into the conversation. Enable tenant administrators to configure masking PSTN participant phone numbers With schools or institutions that have Audio Conferencing enabled for their Teams meetings, tenant administrators now have the ability to define how their Audio Conferencing participants’ phone numbers appear in the roster view for meetings scheduled within their organization. The options include masked to external users, masked for everyone, or off (visible to everyone). This provides flexibility in securing PSTN participants’ phone numbers. This feature is only available through PowerShell cmdlet at this time. Outgoing participant video in meetings in Safari If you use Safari, now you can turn on an outgoing video so the class can see your smiling face. Just click the camera icon to turn on the video in the meeting.
