For example, a manager can @mention their entire department in a given channel and get their message out to the relevant people at once.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, there&#8217;s also a feature to create an &#8220;org-wide&#8221; (organisation-wide) conversation. This is mostly for small and medium-sized businesses, which have less than 5,000 employees.<\/p>\n<p>Calls and meetings have also seen changes as Microsoft has added live captions. This can be turned on during a call and will subtitle what the parties are saying in real-time. This, the company said, will help when calls are made from busy places, where words can be lost in the background noise.<\/p>\n<p>The feature is only available in English at the moment, but there are plans to offer more languages in the near future.<\/p>\n<div id=\"file-7546\" class=\"file file-image file-image-gif file-content-original\">\n<div class=\"content\">    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.cloudpro.co.uk\/sites\/cloudprod7\/files\/2020\/03\/updated_live_captions.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Security has also been given a boost with new measures that let administrators monitor the content shared on the platform. This is a new feature where private channel chats can be placed on hold in a stored mailbox, should it be necessary for a message on a certain topic to be saved.<\/p>\n<p>This also includes a communication compliance feature that both minimises HR risks to the business and helps administrators detect, capture and take remediation actions for inappropriate messages. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>      Bobby Hellard<\/p>\n<p>        3 Mar, 2020    <\/p>\n<p>      Microsoft has integrated Outlook with its Teams platform, along with a host of changes to make the communications platform more efficient to businesses.<br \/>\nThe new features are available from March&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":403,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40499"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40499\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40576,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40499\/revisions\/40576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
