Microsoft has recently announced many updates to Teams meetings. Here we demonstrate the top three to improve your virtual meetings.
Breakout rooms aim to move out of preview mode. We know that several colleagues are actively using this feature with their students and although there have been some glitches Microsoft aim to do a full rollout in November. Our support page details the current limitations.

Meeting recordings currently stored in Stream will move to be stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. This will give you an easier method of sharing recordings with our colleagues and will be rolling out in November. This YouTube Microsoft video demonstrates the upcoming change. (The video is 18 minutes long, but you can skip to 7 minutes in).

There are two features coming in December to help with running webinars. Meeting attendee registration, which enables you to add a custom attendee registration page to any meeting. Following registration, attendees receive an email confirmation with calendar invite. Also, a meeting attendee engagement dashboard, which will measure attendee engagement through participation, including registration, attendance and interactions during the meeting. This data will also be available for download.
