Microsoft has announced new features for Edge Browser, Teams and Windows 10 for the convenience of users working remotely. Have a look at these features.

Microsoft Teams recently brought in new tools for Android and iOS users. Microsoft has now announced new features for the desktop which may roll out for phones later. These features are listed below:

Tasks app: As the name suggests, the Tasks app is designed to help users prioritise and place their tasks in order. The Tasks app also comes with a Listview, Graph API, and Power Automate. As per the blog post, Power Automate is also getting new controls using the new “create a team” action, users can add up a new team to a business process.

For a selected message action: Users can create customised messages using the ‘for a selected message action’ feature on Teams. This will help them initiate critical business processes directly from a message. Another tool that Teams have brought in helps the owner keep a track of which member has been removed from the group.

Visio as a tab: Another new feature Team has added is ‘Visio as a tab’. This helps dedicated users share the content of common interest within a channel or a chat.

Sticky notes on Whiteboard: Microsoft has also brought in sticky notes on Whiteboard, which they can add on a canvas. They can also move or reorder objects in the canvas through drag and drop gestures.

Microsoft has started to roll out its smartphones for the first time since it halted its smartphone business more than four years ago.

The company commences taking orders for the surface Duo, a new dual-screen smart device which costs $1,399 and will begin shipping in September.

The high-priced gadget is arriving during the worst economic downfall, with unemployment and consumers forced to stay at homes to avoid the coronavirus pandemic.

Microsoft is pitching the Duo as a more useful tool, it allows users to multitask with two separate apps at a time.

The Duo has two 5.6-inch displays and is a slim 4.8 millimetres thick. Microsoft engineers say that instead of adopting a single folding screen they chose to connect two displays on a hinge because it allows for sturdier glass.

“It’s thin, it’s sleek, it’s probably one of the sexiest devices we’ve built,” said Panos Panay, Microsoft’s chief product officer. Adding a mobile device to its Surface line of computers is a reversal for Microsoft after its short-lived ownership of smartphone-maker Nokia and its difficulties in transitioning its Windows operating system to the mobile era.

Apple and Google’s Android long ago cornered the market on phone operating systems, but Microsoft’s rare partnership with Google means Duo comes with a suite of Android apps.

Moreover, Samsung this summer also unveiled new smart Galaxy phones that will cost roughly $1,000 to $1,300.
