What is New in Microsoft Teams for October 2024

I hope that you’ve had the chance to try out some of the time-and-effort-saving new features we launched in September, like one of the favorites for Teams Premium and Copilot users, ‘Copilot in Teams meetings can now source responses from meeting chat’. It’s incredibly helpful that Copilot can now process the content from chat, as well as the transcript of the meeting, to make sure you don’t miss anything.

This month, we have even more updates to share that are bringing intelligence, convenience, and productivity together in Teams. A few that I’m most excited for you to try are: the highly anticipated ‘Queues App’ that makes handling and monitoring customer calls easier for call center agents and leads, ‘Voting, Filtering, Sorting and Archiving in Teams Q&A’ for Town Halls and Webinars, that allows attendees to upvote questions they find most compelling, and ‘Expanded cross-platform meetings via SIP join’ that give you the ability to use Microsoft Teams to join meetings from other services like Google Meet, Zoom, Cisco Webex, Amazon Chime, RingCentral, and others.

Have a look at those, and all the others, and let us know what you think!
