YES! The PowerPoint Presenter updates have been a much needed feature! This will help when doing online classes, annotating and highlighting to help teachers focus the attention on specific parts. Now there's no way our school will ditch Teams. It's become somewhat of a necessary tool box with all of the bells and whistles that make our craft smoother.
Hi Nelson, great to hear that you love the PowerPoint updates. I would love to just learn more about your scenarios and how the new improvements are helping. If you can connect with me via Mike that would be great or let me know if there is a place where I can reach you directly.
Great video. Thanks. The update I really want is the ability to mark PDFs and photos from within assignments on the iPad app without having to put them into One Note first.
Thanks for your clear and positive video, Mike! At a much more basic level: how about a much clearer/bolder/bigger indication or reminder when you're on mute? 18 months later, we're still having to daily point this out to colleagues.
Great video Mike. If you have a public event is there any way to maintain the attendees' privacy? Specifically so that attendees can only see the names of the presenters, not the other attendees?
Love your videos. So awesome all these features. Other than the registration window for the webinar feature, what would be the pros and cons over a Teams Live event?
Great demonstration video and love the updates. The only problem is I do not seem to have hardly any of these features. I checked and made sure I have the latest version installed. Is there a specific date when these features will be available? Thanks!
It looks like the "Refined Microsoft" bulk import option has been removed from the chrome store, at least in Canada. I can still see it on Firefox, but I cannot find it on the chrome store.
Thanks for the tips. Maybe I don't know how to do it, but "freeze screen" is a very desirable feature (like Webex) not available to my knowledge. I also agree that Teams consumes a lot of memory, a lot, as per other comments.
Hello from Puerto Rico. I love your videos, I learn a lot from watching them, but they must have Spanish subtitles for Hispanics who don't speak English.
Did they scrap the join using a Meeting ID option? This was something that I was looking forward to because our organization does not provide Teams access to probationary employees. I often have them join as Guests in Teams using the link(which is quite long) is difficult and work-arounds such as shortening the url is blocked by IT. I hope that they incorporate it in the future for ease of use. Them incorporating Presenter View is a live saver. I used to run the presentations in Presenter View and just share the Slideshow so that I can see my notes. Now I can load the presentation directly from One Drive while still having access to my notes.
These are awesome improvements. But I have a question. Will the bulk import allow inviting people who aren't part of your organization (guests)? Also, I wonder if I can take my list from an Excel column instead of having to put a space and semicolon - just copy and paste.
Honestly instead of these features which are not going lie are great you should make the memory usage of teams less like my computer is just slow since I installed it
Thanks for the video @Mike Tholfsen it's helpful. I'm not sure you've provided the answer, but where can we see the ppt file which has the annotation added to it? As there wasn't any request to save file once stop sharing. Another question, can the translated ppt be saved as well and how to go about it? Thank you.
I have spent weeks learning TEAMS. Three failed meetings in due to attendees not being able to see the shared PowerPoint. Updated software, no improvement. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? If not, I have to go to ZOOM.
Interestingly, I am on the pre-release version yet still can't access a number of these features - client seems up to date. Nice video though - some good stuff in there.
Hi Mike, I've been wanting to develop the linked Sharepoint site into a course website and add as a tab for a while now. However my institution sets up brand new Teams courses each year for the same course. Is there a way to transfer the Teams Sharepoint site each year? I have been searching for a week or more and can't see if this is possible. Obviously I wont be setting up a new course site every year from scratch! (Alot of us prefer this method as it gives alot more control, alot of staff use google sites currently but it would be good to do this in a microsoft product, as an extension of this our students need public websites. Google sites is great for this, any chance Microsoft might develop something similar for students to have external public websites) :D
@@MikeTholfsen thanks Mike for getting back to me, you seem to be the fount of all knowledge n MS products! I didn’t think it was possible currently. It would be great to have this feature in education where new Teams courses are created each year.
@@MikeTholfsen I'm referring to the #2 overall request (with over 35K votes) concerning multiple Teams accounts. This uservoice items has been here for over 4 years. I personally don't use Teams because of this very item. I have 12 Office 365 accounts. and can only use ONE of them on the Teams apps. This pretty much makes the entire Teams app useless for me, so for that reason I never use it. I would love to get on the Teams bandwagon but until I can effectively use it with all of my Office accounts it forces me to look at other tools.
@@MikeTholfsen correct --- just like I can look at all 12 of my mailboxes in Outlook at the same time. The iOS app already lets you jump in an out between Teams tenants on the fly. Not sure why the Windows version doesn't let you do the same thing. Currently on the Windows version I can only be signed in to one tenant, so I constantly miss chats and calls from people on the other tanants.
Can you make a video for android teams.. we cant put the screen in full screen.. there is no option.. the members profile is in the right side so we cant clearly see the content in that short screen. Also we cant share audio of device in mobile.. but all are in zoom.. but zoom forcing us to buy pro version with limited time and members
Hi Mike. Great videos. I have a question. I'm looking for a way to do pair work activities with my language students, probably through Breakout Rooms. I need Student A to be able to see my ppt. and communicate info to Student B, but I don't want Student B to see the ppt. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Hello Mike- great Video. short question. I have a serial Meeting and added once a colleague during a call to the ongoing meeting. If we use the chat on another day, the added colleague still can see the chat, even if he isn’t invited to serial meeting. Is there any chance to avoid it?
Standout view doesn't work for me. I can select it and I see myself in standout view but it doesn't change a thing for other people in the meeting. They don't see me in standout view. I am doing anything wrong?
Is standout view available in Teams desktop app only? Not in web, mobile or tablet? Cause' I've heard that my students using web, mobile and tablet teams could not see me in standout mode. Is this an update issue?
I believe that only persons using the desktop app which has the standout view available will be able to see you in standout mode. If they don't have the standout mode option on their own teams, even though they may be using the desktop app, they will not see you.
Great video. Which version for these features? I checked and tried on my desktop app and it's not ready My version: "You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.11161 (64-bit). It was last updated on 02/06/2021"
Please help! I'm teaching summer school virtually to 1st and 2nd graders VIA Teams, using PowerPoint. I need to be able to point to the words students are reading with a cursor or with a pointer. The updated TEAMS version is not working correctly, students cannot see cursor or laser pen in PP Live Mode, even though I see on my screen. I cannot continue directing 6 year olds to read the 4th word in the 3rd column, I need to be able to digitally point to words. Why can't they see my PowerPoint Live cursor or laser pointer? I guess I will need to go old school and share my screen, and then right click on PowerPoint to access laser pointer, and then right click again to access PowerPoint Presentation mode, so 20th century.
Have you tried to create a Teams meeting in your Outlook calendar? Try that and see if it makes the calendar appear in Teams - we had a similar problem and that seemed to fix it. Good luck!
If you don't see the Calendar then your organization may not be on Exchange Online (Online version of Outlook), which is a dependency to have the calendar in Teams. If you are on Exchange Online, then Brian's recommendation below might help, or it may just be hidden in the "..." menu on the left hand side.
Shouldn't it be called the "ellipsis" menu? Everybody calls it "three dot," but ... I know, dumb thing to get annoyed by. Also, the presenter overlay is a great step, but we still need stuff like lower thirds! Can't MS just buy OBS (please, no. Lol)?? 😂

Still waiting for specific chat reply on Teams for desktop.
Those are nice. I hope devs make interactive buttons (like a buzzer etc) and allow participants to annotate will be added.
Legend has it, Rosie still waiting to be part of the meeting!

Many of these should fully be rolled out or still rolling out
It looks like the "Refined Microsoft" bulk import option has been removed from the chrome store, at least in Canada. I can still see it on Firefox, but I cannot find it on the chrome store.
Hi Mike! Will be the webinar mode in meeting options available for all countries. Currently it is not working in Hungary. Thanks
Hmm, it may still be rolling out. What SKU are you using?
@@MikeTholfsen sorry, I am not sure what an SKU is. Can you help me?
Amazing new features. The more amazing your clear and understandable explanation.
When I left-click & drag the laser pointer, it doesn't draw the temporary trail. MS 365 for Enterprise, PPT version 2311.
Is the organiser able to enrol / register people - like a compulsory registration?
Still no ability to save polls as templates for future repeat meetings like Zoom can do!
Thanks for the tips. Maybe I don't know how to do it, but "freeze screen" is a very desirable feature (like Webex) not available to my knowledge. I also agree that Teams consumes a lot of memory, a lot, as per other comments.
Thank you.
Very good tips. Appreciated Mike. 🥇
Maybe a silly question but how are annotated PP files saved when they have been used in a meeting? And to where?
Hello from Puerto Rico. I love your videos, I learn a lot from watching them, but they must have Spanish subtitles for Hispanics who don't speak English.
