The new development was confirmed by Microsoft in a post on its Microsoft 365 roadmap, which reveals future plans and updates planned for its software solutions. Microsoft confirmed the new mode would help those struggling with poor connections as well as Microsoft Teams users looking to preserve the amount of data they’re using on video calls.
The latter could be especially useful when travelling and piggybacking on the 4G or 5G mobile connection from your phone. While this works well enough when checking emails, replying to texts within Microsoft Teams, and checking documents… using a tethered connection like this for video calls can quickly gobble through your monthly allowance of mobile data.
