If you sit through endless Zoom meetings, you can take life out. Of course, there are sometimes pleasant backgrounds to stare at, but it’s mostly a cumbersome set of screens that switch back and forth. But Microsoft Teams is getting ready for a new perspective on your homework experience.
Among the features that come with Teams is a new way to keep meeting attendees focused, as described in A Microsoft message as “Dynamic view.” The feature is meant to see participants in the meeting and presentation content side by side, while also allowing you to customize how the information appears on your screen.
Dynamic View gives you a customizable overview of how you want content to be shared. You will pin participants you want to keep track of on the screen instead of having to search for them in a sidebar. You should also be able to see better when a new speaker started attending, as well as when someone raised a hand during a meeting.
Contrast this with looking at offers and screen shares in services like Zoom. Usually you see the screen and nothing else except the same series of faces at the top of the screen.
We only got the wind of Dynamic View in July 2020 when it was announced with a series of other Microsoft Teams features designed to make video meetings visually more interesting and productive. But now we have a target date for Dynamic View – Microsoft Roadmap call it the arrival in March.
Additional updates from the past few teams included live transcription, live responses, speaker identification tools, and an integrated task program to make Teams the more flexible and user-friendly option. These changes have led many Teams to feel more like the most important choice for large-scale business meetings and classrooms as a sighing headache that everyone endures.
