The coronavirus pandemic has boosted the popularity of video conferencing apps like Zoom. To attract more customers in the face of intense competition, Microsoft has offered Teams users a ton of premium features for free. In addition, the software giant is constantly adding new features to its service. This month, Microsoft plans to add 300-person conferencing to Teams.
Last month, Microsoft added a lot of new features to Teams, such as the 3x3 grid, raising a hand, and the ability to chat in separate windows. Now the company is working on increasing the limit of simultaneously active chat participants to 300 people. Last month, the company raised the limit to 250 users, and further increases to that number will help Microsoft solidify Teams' position in the enterprise market. It is expected that holding conferences for 300 participants will become possible this month.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the popularity of Microsoft Teams has skyrocketed. The company announced that in just one day on March 31, the total duration of video conferencing in Teams was more than 2,7 billion minutes. In the future, Microsoft plans to introduce AI-based active noise cancellation and integration with Skype into the service.
