Microsoft Teams is about to change your video calls forever

There is not a day lately when Microsoft Teams does not receive news, updates or rumors of some kind. This time, however, it is an official update that the company has revealed, and that will forever change the video call interface of the application, defaulting to a overview of all participants in it.

This change will allow all users to see each other, without being cut off on different pages like in the current system. This will provide greater ease in seeing which users interact, raise their hand, and increase communication within the application, something important considering that it is the main purpose of this service.

New video call interface

The new video call interface, officially showcased by Microsoft, allows grouping all the windows of each user on the screen, thus allowing to see all the members that are part of a conference or meeting in a general way. By default, users with the camera turned off will be shown with their usual photo, but there is also the option to hide the box if the interlocutor wishes.

This change responds to a recurring problem in the current design of chats, which gives a lot of prominence to the person who is speaking, but relegates a much more secondary vision to the people who are also part of the video call, thus preventing a more complete communication.

Other Teams news

As we have been mentioning, Teams is receiving all kinds of news lately. Some of them have to do with the features it receives through Copilot, such as the ability to attend video calls to summarize their content, among many other functions. In this way, the application embraces Artificial Intelligence to increase its usability.

In addition, smaller but also useful changes are also being made, such as the ability to hide channels and lighten the load of chats and conversations in the application’s side panel. This results in a cleaner interface and allows less used windows to be set aside.
