Windows 10: Microsoft Teams Displays Update for March 2021

Brink · Mar 22, 2021

The Teams display experience was built from the roots up knowing that the modern worker needs to balance getting individual work done while engaging in multiple forms of collaboration. To help streamline communications, stay on top of tasks, and save users time we created the ultimate second screen that is dedicated to productivity. This experience running on the Lenovo Thinksmart View, pairs easily with your PC in BetterTogether mode, and uses the power of Teams and AI to keep you in the flow of work.

In this update to the Teams display experience, we are excited to bring enhancements to Cortana, and new capabilities in meetings and chat .

Get your facts fast with Cortana + Bing

In one of our best demonstrations of collaboration, the voice activated AI capabilities in Cortana now leverage Bing to fetch information from the internet and present to users. Imagine you are collaborating with someone in a different time zone, use commands like:

âHey Cortana, what time is it in New York?â

âHey Cortana, whatâs the weather in New York?â

âHey Cortana, how much does a flight to New York cost?â

When Cortana and Bing work together they help you stay in the know with relevant facts and information just when you need them, at the sound of your voice.

Get ready Canada, Australia, UK, and India, Cortana is coming!

With this app update, users in select English speaking markets will be able to access Cortana and the Bing skills mentioned above. Have Cortana show you your schedule, send messages, make calls, and more in additional geographies starting now.

Swap out your background for the occasion

We knew users loved being able to change their backgrounds in Teams meetings and calls on their PC and are thrilled to bring this experience to the display. With a few taps of a finger users can not only blur whatâs going on behind them, but upload any of our Teams backgrounds to suit their mood or occasion. A messy room, housematesâ motion, or even weather can be distracting in a meeting. In order for users to present themselves with confidence, we believe this feature will be helpful and fun. Is there a team celebration? Try the balloon background! Virtual happy hour? A trip to the beach can set the scene.

A round of applause goes toâ¦live reactions in meetings!

Did your teammate say something impressive that you want to agree with? Is your manager highlighting a colleague's achievement that you want to support? Or maybe the new hire on the team is sharing their excitement to start work with you? All these situations elicit genuine human emotions like enthusiasm, happiness, and empathy. While where we work has changed, the desire to express these emotions hasnât. Now in the Teams display experience users can show emotions like support, applause, love and laughter during a meeting. Additionally, you can see what your meeting members are thinking without disrupting an ongoing meeting. Consider asking a question and asking participants to submit their thoughts via live reactions to get a quick survey on participant sentiment. The possibilities are endless and we are excited about this new way to stay engaged during meetings!

When âreadâ receipts arenât enough, send quick responses!

Now on the ambient screen users have the ability to press and hold incoming chats for a variety of options. Like, love, laughter, surprise, disappointment and frustration can all be expressed easily for a quick display of reaction to new information. Additionally, using the power of AI, quick responses are generated that a user can choose from. Suppose you get the following message:

âI will send the file over later today.â
The display experience will suggest appropriate responses like:
âThank youâ âI understandâ âLooking forward to itâ

The user can easily select whatâs appropriate for the context and send away without context switching or missing any beats.

With every update we are excited to bring new and innovative experiences that both help users maximize productivity and bring delight to the way they work. We hope these enhancements will make you more productive, save you time, and help you bring your best self to work, from wherever you may be!
