Microsoft is bringing Excel directly into Teams meetings. Excel Live is a new way for Teams meeting participants to edit Excel spreadsheets together in real time. It’s part of a trio of new features coming to Teams that continue Microsoft’s focus on hybrid work. Teams is also getting video clips that can be shared in chats and collaborative annotations that allow colleagues to doodle on top of content during Teams meetings.<\/p>\n

Excel Live is part of Microsoft’s Live Share functionality in Microsoft Teams that the company detailed earlier this year. \u201cWhat it does is it allows you in a Teams meeting to edit a workbook live in real time, right in that meeting stage itself,\u201d explains Nicole Herskowitz, vice president of Microsoft Teams, in an interview with The Verge. \u201c<\/em>People can just jump in and start editing an Excel workbook, and they never have to leave the meeting screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

You don’t even need Excel installed or running on a device, and you can even set specific permissions or use features like tracking changes as you would in a regular version of Excel. \u201cThis is using full Excel,\u201d says Herskowitz. \u201cExcel Live is built on top of our Fluid Framework, which allows for this kind of experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

This neat integration of Excel should arrive sometime in August, and it will complement a new collaborative annotations feature in Teams that launches today. Collaborative annotations lets all meeting participants draw, type, or react on top of any content that’s shared in a meeting. It’s essentially the same tools you’d find in Microsoft’s Whiteboard app, but you don’t have to launch a separate experience or import content to start annotating.<\/p>\n

You can highlight things, place Post-it notes on the screen, or just doodle everywhere. \u201cIt allows those whiteboard rich experiences on any screen,\u201d explains Herskowitz. \u201cIt makes basically any space more collaborative.\u201d Collaborative annotations are designed to be ephemeral, so they live only inside a Teams meeting. \u201cRight now there’s no exporting capabilities, so you’d probably take a picture or a screenshot to save that for future reference,\u201d says Herskowitz.<\/p>\n

The last big addition to Microsoft Teams is Video Clip. This new feature lets anyone record and send short video clips in a Teams chat. It’s essentially a video voicemail, and it’s very similar to the video clips that Slack launched last year. Video clips can be up to a minute long and are ideal for asynchronous communication where you might have a colleague in a different time zone and want to leave them a video message.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
