Brink · Feb 5, 2019

We continue to bring new functionality to Microsoft Teams to help people do their best work. New Firstline capabilities empower your workers to be more productive, while new usage reports provide you insights on how people are using Teams in your organization. Read on to learn about everything that is new in February.

Communicate more effectively

Enabling effective communication across your organization requires giving people an environment where physical and virtual elements come together to deliver a seamless experience. We are introducing Microsoft Teams Rooms and Teams-Only mode to help you simplify and better integrate communication capabilities.

Transform your meetings with Microsoft Teams Rooms

We are rebranding Skype room systems as Microsoft Teams Rooms. From scheduling to managing a meeting, enjoy a seamless experience with Microsoft Teams Rooms. We are also adding new capabilities such as proximity detection, which streamlines the process of adding a room that is nearby and available to your existing meeting. Find out more here.

Transform every meeting with Microsoft Teams Rooms

Simplify how users communicate with Teams-Only Mode

Organizations now have more options in their journey to transition from Skype for Business to Teams with Teams-Only Mode. In this mode, Teams becomes the primary communication and collaboration tool for end users. From the Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business Admin center, administrators can easily upgrade specific users or their entire tenant. Found out more about this and other communications capabilities here.

Work with confidence: new features for IT admin

To foster teamwork across your organization, you need visibility into how people are using the tools you are providing. Additionally, you need to deliver tailored workspaces that meet your user needs in a repeatable and scalable way. You can now take advantage of the following Teams features to help you better support your organization:

Replicate your best Team's experience with Team Templates

Teams Templates let admins quickly pre-define a team’s channel, install apps, pin tabs, and more so you can focus on collaboration rather than spend time setting up. Found a team setup that works best for a type of project or workstyle in your organization? You will now be able to easily create new teams based on best practices and lessons learned by leveraging a new REST endpoint as part of the Microsoft Graph API.

Industry-based templates

Education templates such as Class, Staff, and PLC teams
