Microsoft Teams To Add New Features For Chat Bubbles

Microsoft added several new features for Microsoft Teams but is yet to add support for Chat bubbles, a feature that Teams users have been expecting. The Redmond tech giant seems to be getting ready to roll out the Chat bubbles features very soon.

Microsoft confirmed on Microsoft 365 roadmap page that the Chat bubbles support for Microsoft Teams is currently in the developmental phase and will be rolled to users next month with no exact date stated.

It is expected that support for the Chat bubbles means that chats sent during a Teams meeting will surface on the screens of all meeting participants, making the chat more central to the conversation. The features will allow users to view the chat screen without needing to manually open the chat window.

Microsoft is also working on many useful new features that are expected to be added to Microsoft Teams this year. Also, the company has so far added a number of useful new features to its communication tool such as, the ability to view/download the list of people that attended the meeting, the Whiteboard app in Teams, the ability to copy and share a meet now link, and more.

Microsoft announced its intention of working on a new set of admin options for managing Breakout Rooms in the app three weeks ago and introduced new virtual Breakout rooms features on the desktop last year along with other improvements such as Together mode scenes, custom backgrounds, and more.
