March 2nd, 2021 Microsoft Microsoft's Teams app for work is about to get superpowered. At its Ignite conference today, the company announced a slew of updates for its video chat tool to make it more useful and customizable. It also unveiled new made-for-Teams speakers with special features for transcriptions. First, since we clearly aren't going to return to large-scale in-person events anytime soon, Microsoft is making Teams a more powerful webinar platform. You can now have up to a thousand attendees per meeting from both inside and outside your organization. There will also be more tools like custom registration, host controls for disabling attendee chat and video, as well as "rich presentation options." You'll also get post-event reports to see how your webinar did.
