Microsoft Teams new call layout optimized for ease of use

Many Microsoft Teams users have been waiting for a redesign of the calling experience for some time now, and their patience is finally paying off. Gone are the days of settings and menus obscuring and hiding what you’re looking for. No more tedious tabulation exercises either.

As Paul Bloem noted on Twitter, the new layout looks elegant. Call history, speed dials, and all the other key features you want to see are visible right off the bat in an intuitively designed layout to place each item exactly where you hope to see it.

This is far from the only Teams news in recent memory. It also boasts major interactive webinar support (up to 1,000 people, at the moment) as well as PowerPoint Live, so you can impress your meeting colleagues with your neatly curated slides and notes, all from from a single, convenient Teams view.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Microsoft Teams is also poised to make it easier to bring people from external organizations into group chats, and more. Teams is full of content-rich updates, both deployed and planned for the future.
