Service Notice: New Teams Experience

In April, Microsoft announced many upcoming Teams enhancements. Some features, like the 3x3 gallery view and raise hands, have already been released. New features are now available to Acadia users. Highlights include:

  • Meetings and calls start in a new window
  • Meeting and call controls (such as mute, video, chat, leave etc) are now be located at the top of the meeting window
  • Different Views: Lg Gallery, Together Mode and Focus

ACTION:

1. Enable the new meeting experience user setting:

    1. Click on Avatar on top right of Teams, and click Settings.
    2. Check the Turn on new calling and meetings experiences check box,
    3. Restart Teams.

In the fall, these settings will be enabled by default; this action allows you to activate them immediately.
