Microsoft Teams gains new features every month across a wide range of operating systems and platforms. With dozens of features coming out every few weeks, it’s easy to miss some that roll out. Luckily, Microsoft rounds up everything new for Teams at the end of each month, June being no exception.

Last month we saw new options for meetings, an extensive list of new Teams devices, and new capabilities for presenters. Here’s everything that’s new, asoutlined by Microsoft.

Meetings

Microsoft rolled out several meetings features in June, including support for invitations being sent out in up to two languages. A multitasking panel for meetings also shipped to iPads last month, which makes it easier to multitask. Chat bubbles also made their way to iOS and Android, allowing participants to see messages in meetings without having to switch to a separate part of the app.

Here’s everything new for meetings:

Calling

Just a single calling feature shipped to Teams in June. Call queue agents can now use the Calls app to place calls while using a call queue number as their caller ID.

Devices & Teams Meeting Rooms

Quite a few Teams devices arrived in June as well. In addition to new meeting boards, headsets, speakers, and video bars, Microsoft added a feature that lets particpants raise their hand in a meeting by long pressing the Teams button.

Below are all of the new Teams devices:

Chat & Collaboration

It’s now possible to embed Teams chat within Dynamics 365, which makes it easier to collaborate. Users can link new or existing chats to Dynamic 365 records to help keep track of things.

E-signature approval support also shipped to mobile devices and can now be embeded within Team Approvals.

Here are all of the new chat and collaboration features:

Only a couple of options were added for Power Platform and custom development last month. It’s now possible to create and manage simple approval requests within integrated SharePoint Lists. New filter options were also added to the approvals list.

Management

Microsofft made it easier to find regularly used apps. Teams now supports @mentions within the app flyout to find an application.

Frontline workers also gained a single feature in June. The Updates app in Teams rolled out, giving users the ability to create, submit, and review all of their updates, such as shift handoffs, maintenance requests, and incident reports.

Government

Quite a few features shipped to government versions of Teams. These features are usually avaialble on non-government versions of Teams for some time and then roll out to government users.
