The Redmond-giant has announced a free version of Teams, introduced AI capabilities in a host of Office 365 functionalities, a new Workplace Analytics solution and lastly, a Microsoft Whiteboard app for Windows 10.

Free Version of Teams

Microsoft has announced a free version of its Slack competitor, Teams, which brings a whole set of collaborative work tools and productivity features. The free version of Microsoft Teams is now available in over 40 languages, however, a lot of features from the premium version are missing. Here’s are some of the features you get with the free tier of Teams:
  • Native voice and video calling for one-on-one chats, group conversations, and meetings.
  • 10GB of team file storage and 2GB of personal cloud storage for each team member
  • Full support for Office Online apps such as Word, PowerPoint, etc.
  • Unlimited chat messages and search
  • No limit on integration with over 140 business apps such as Adobe and Evernote

AI-Powered Event Capabilities

Team members can now create live and on-demand events in Microsoft 365, thanks to new AI-powered capabilities which bring features such as a speaker timeline which employs facial recognition to detect the speaker. Moreover, speech-to-text transcription, time-coding, transcript search and closed captions are also on the table.

Microsoft Whiteboard

The Microsoft Whiteboard app, which was released as a preview back in December last year, is now widely available to all Windows 10 users. The Whiteboard app is a digital collaboration platform for sharing creative ideas in the form of drawings, images, text notes, etc. and is an ideal software platform for the Surface Hub, Microsoft’s massive digital whiteboard.
