(Updated) Microsoft Teams: Simplified App Update Experience MC503298 · Published Jan 26, 2023 · Last updated Feb 23, 2023

Updated February 23, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline and provided additional information. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Teams now maintains an index of all of the apps (and the corresponding versions) a user has consented to. Using this index, an app is automatically updated in real time everywhere it is installed for the user. After the user updates the app in any one context, the updated version is available in all other installed contexts, without any other user action.

(Updated) PowerPoint Live in Teams: Magnify Slide MC452198 · Published Oct 28, 2022 · Last updated Feb 21, 2023

February 21, 2023: We have updated this message to ensure visibility, the content below has not changed. Thank you for your patience.

When a deck is presented via PowerPoint Live in a Microsoft Teams meeting, all meeting attendees can use the Magnify Slide feature to privately zoom into the presentation while maintaining full fidelity of the slide content. When a meeting attendee magnifies a slide, it doesn’t change how the presenter or the other meeting attendees view the slides. The “Sync to presenter” button will also appear, which allows the meeting attendee to resume following the presenter. When the meeting presenter uses the Magnify Slide feature, the zoomed in presentation content is displayed to all meeting attendees to see and follow along. The initial roll out of Magnify slide in PowerPoint Live will only be available for Microsoft Teams Desktop.

There are multiple ways to use this feature in a Teams Meeting using PPT Live:

  • Use the +/- buttons in the (…) menu
  • Use Plus or Minus keys or Shift + Plus or Shift + Minus key on the keyboard (Ensure keyboard focus is on the PowerPoint Live slideshow area)
  • Pinch or stretch on the track pad while hovering over the slide
  • Pinch or stretch on the slide using a touch screen enabled device
  • Use Ctrl + mouse wheel scroll while hovering over the slide

We’re adding a new feature to the profile card in Microsoft 365. Users in your organization will soon be able to add pronouns directly to their profile card in Outlook on the web and Teams.

Viva Goals: Increased Functionality and Terminology Change of Team Field MC520318 · Published Feb 24, 2023

Viva Goals currently has a field named “type” while creating and filtering OKRs which designates where the OKR would be created. The terminology is now changing from “type” to “teams.” In addition to the name change, the functionality of the “teams” field will expand to include additional context and faster search capability as OKR owners assign a team to an OKR.

All OKRs created from the My OKRs page will now be set to unassigned by default. OKRs being created from a specific team or organization page will continue to have the current default of the selected team or the organization.

OKRs can continue to be created at an individual, team or at the organization level. An OKR can be co-owned by both a team and the organization so that an OKR can serve not only as companywide initiatives, but also team and organization initiatives.

Roll out will begin in late February and is expected to be complete by early March.
