And it\u2019s about time.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is rolling out a small but mighty update to Teams that\u2019s going to make a surprisingly big difference to how your meetings run.<\/p>\n<p>First, if you\u2019re not too familiar with Teams, let\u2019s quickly cover the basics. It\u2019s Microsoft\u2019s all-in-one communication platform. Video calls, chat, file sharing, and collaboration tools are all combined in one place.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your team is remote, hybrid, or all under one roof, it helps everyone stay connected and productive without needing to jump between lots of different apps.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the update. Microsoft\u2019s introducing a feature that will let multiple people control the presentation slides during a Teams meeting or webinar.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, if you\u2019ve ever tried to co-present in Teams, you\u2019ll know that only one person has control of the slides. Everyone else is stuck asking the presenter to move things along. That\u2019s not only frustrating, but it also breaks the flow of the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>This new feature will let the meeting host hand over slide control to more than one person.<\/p>\n<p>That means if you\u2019ve got a few people presenting different parts of a deck, each of them can take control of the slides when it\u2019s their turn, without stopping the meeting or awkwardly calling out instructions. It sounds like a small thing, but in practice, it\u2019ll make meetings feel much more natural and professional.<\/p>\n<p>This feature has started to roll out already, beginning with the Windows desktop version of Teams. It\u2019ll likely involve the host selecting co-presenters when setting up the meeting. Hopefully, the setup will be as smooth as the presentations will be.<\/p>\n<p>To me, this is one of those updates that should have been added years ago. But hey, better late than never, right?<\/p>\n<p>Alongside other recent improvements like real-time text messaging during calls (great for those who prefer typing over talking), it\u2019s clear Microsoft\u2019s working hard to make Teams more flexible and intuitive.<\/p>\n<p>Need help getting the most out of Microsoft Teams or other tools in Microsoft 365? That\u2019s what my team and I are here for. Get in touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sick of saying \u201cnext slide please\u201d in your Teams meetings?
