Microsoft Teams receives several new features and options each month. While we cover the biggest ones as they’re released, it’s easy to lose track of everything that rolls out. Luckily, Microsoft gathers together acomplete list of new featuresat the end of each month. Here’s everything that shipped for Microsoft Teams in July 2022.

Meetings

Microsoft replaced the Forms app within Teams with the Polls app. This should make it easier for organizations to receive feedback, especially when paired with UI improvements that also shipped last month. Users can now show or hide the polls portal page, easily view results, and have suggestions at the bottom of the side panel.

Phone and calling

Several quality of life improvements rolled out to Teams last month as well. Call recording announcements now play in the default language of users. It’s now possible to hide calls from call history as well on mobile and desktop.
