[Music] hi everyone kevin here today i want to show you the latest five top new features in microsoft teams all right let’s jump on the pc and let’s check these out new feature number one in microsoft teams when you wanna meet now with other people when you click on this you can now generate a link to share with others previously you could start the meeting and then you’d have to figure out how to get people into the meeting so now you can get a link and when you click on that you can share this with others here it’s on my clipboard i can now email it i can message it also i could simply share via email right here and this will use my default email app i have an interview this afternoon with a candidate to become our safety engineer at the kevin cookie company here i’ll make sure i copy this link and i’ll get it out to the candidate oh here’s the interview link new feature number two now you can set up a custom background on your iphone and on your android phone previously you could only do it on your pcs and between you and me i have no background as a safety engineer so hopefully setting up a custom background will help me to set up a custom background before you join the meeting set up the background effect icon on the top left here and as you can see you can pick up a bunch of backgrounds or you can add your own own custom backgrounds right here as before you could only blur your background but now you can add your custom background if you need to since i’m going to a safety interview i’m going to pick up a safety first background right there now i’m going to join the meeting and don’t worry if the image is reversed all the attendees are going to see it the right way once you’re in the meeting you can again change the background by clicking on this ellipsis and clicking on the background effects hi gargey thank you so much for joining today i’m really excited to talk to you about this safety engineer position at the kevin cookie company nice to meet you too kevin i’m looking so forward to talking to you and i could really tell that you care about safety i mean check out that safety first sign behind you i’m glad you like it safety first so i i’ve been meaning to ask you we sent you a box of cookies from the kevin cookie company what did you think of them oh kevin foste uh what was that i’m sorry oh i meant they were really delicious oh yeah the best cookies at the kevin cookie company yeah yeah and i didn’t quite catch what you said and that brings us to new feature number three you can turn on live captions in a meeting to turn on live captions up on the top controls click on the ellipsis right over here within this menu there’s the option to turn on live captions now that i’ve turned on live captions you can see everything that i’m saying down below and over on the left hand side it even places my name next to what i’m saying that’s awesome and when you heard gargi speak there look at that it also shows her name next to what she’s saying how cool is that this brings us to new feature number four there is now a new sharing tray in microsoft teams to access the new sharing tray up in the top right hand corner click on the share content icon you could also press the shortcut key control shift and e and this opens up the new share content tray previously it was down on the bottom of the screen some of the improvements here it’s a little bit more cleaned up instead of seeing all of your different windows if you want to select one of your windows you can click on it here and that’ll expand the set here i’ll go back the benefit of this now is you could very easily get to the whiteboard you could get to freehand and you could choose any of your powerpoint presentations so it’s a little bit more cleaned up and easier to get back to stuff now with gargi i want to ask her a few interview questions so i’m going to browse my computer for a deck and then i’ll share my screen okay gargey are you able to see my slides i just want to confirm yes kevin i can see your slides excellent excellent and this brings us to our next set of new features here within presentation mode i can now switch to a grid view i could also press the g key when i click on grid view i can very quickly navigate between all of the different slides in my powerpoint presentation here i’ll go back to the first slide again also next to the grid view i can click on this ellipsis and i can hide the presenter view this helps me focus on the content that i’m sharing so this way when i ask those interview questions i just focus on these interview questions also under the ellipsis there’s also a new high contrast mode that makes it a little bit easier to see your slides and to follow the text so gargi really good that you can see the slides here now this is a safety engineer interview and i have some of the criteria or job requirements listed here on the slide could you take a quick look at them and let me know do you meet all this criteria um well unfortunately i can’t swim and what i don’t know what the cpr training is and i don’t have a lot of safety experience also i’m sorry yeah we’re uh we’re struggling to hire people here at the kevin cookie company are are you willing to learn yes totally okay okay okay so i i think i think we’re good on the requirements then and this brings us to new feature number five within breakout rooms in microsoft teams you can now assign people to rooms and you can have those assignments persist across different sessions so let’s say you’re a teacher and you assign your students to different breakout groups those will hold when you get together again in the future also you can now set time limits on your breakout rooms so gargey the interview so far is going great and i would love it if you could talk to our president patty fernandez so we’re going to send you off into a breakout room let me just get this set up here we’ll automatically assign you to a room let me create the room i’ve now assigned gargi to one of our breakout rooms and she’s assigned to patty fernandez so i’ll let them go off to the breakout room and patty can ask some additional questions just to make sure that she’s the right candidate to set a time limit on breakout rooms in the top right hand corner i’ll click on the ellipsis and next i’ll click on room settings within room settings here i can set a time limit now our interviews here typically go pretty fast so i think maybe about 10 minutes should be more than enough time to vet this candidate all of this looks good so i’ll go back and let me kick off the breakout rooms here i’ll click on start rooms hey gargey thank you so much for joining we’re really excited to have you interview today up here in the top left hand corner we can see how much time is left in this breakout room and once it gets down to zero we’ll rejoin the main session so gargey thanks again for joining and let me ask you one of the most important questions we ask here as part of our interview process is what is your favorite type of cookie oh i really love the sriracha cream one that’s one of our favorites you know i’ve got to say gargi i think you’re going to be a very good match here at the kevin cookie company and we would like to have you come on board as quickly as possible thank you so much i’m looking forward to it we could tell that you prioritize safety and that’s been a little bit of an afterthought here at the cookie company all right well those are the latest new features in microsoft teams if you think
