5 game-changer features coming to Microsoft Teams in February
Registration Form Updates in Webinars
The webinar registration process can be highly customized, allowing managers and organizers to find out more details about the participants, which could lead to making more informed decisions when planning the next webinars.
Organizers can rearrange the sequence of registration form questions that are presented to attendees during the webinar registration process. The questions available for reordering include address, city, state, zip/post code, country/region, job title organization, industry, and custom questions.
Meeting options updates for Webinars
Microsoft is making it easier for organziers to edit the meeting’s options.
The meeting options for a webinar are now accessible within the webinar setup in Teams. Organizers can edit meeting options in an inline window within the scheduling form in Teams.
Hide general channel
One of the most exciting features to come to Teams, this one will allow users to hide the general channels, which could improve their focus on the relevant channels to them, instead.
Alike other channels, now you will be able to hide general channels in your teams, helping you focus on the channels that matter most to you.
Automatic Targeting based on roles for Frontline
Frontline teams can notify the right set of colleagues on channel posts (e.g. notify colleagues in specific role or department)
Preset Organizational Backgrounds (Premium)
IT admins, and managers can now preset backgrounds to all participants in Teams meetings. This could be a great tool for marketing purposes, as organizations can brand their meetings with logo backgrounds.
When enabled, a user will have a preset background defined by the IT admin without the ability to change the background
All of these features are scheduled to be rolled out in February 2024.
