Microsoft Teams will make meetings even more interactive

Microsoft Teams is the well-known collaboration and productivity platform of the Colossus of Redmond, mainly used for meetings in the workplace. Among the new features, Microsoft has announced the feature currently known as Live Share, which will allow attendees to create and edit documents during meetings. This feature will be available in all apps integrated with Microsoft Teams, which will take conferencing to the next level, from mere screen sharing to truly interactive sessions.

Although not yet available, several companies are already working on apps who will use the new Live Share functionality, including Hexagon, Accenture, Parabol and many more.

At the base of these new methods of collaboration is the Fluid Framework developed by Microsoft originally for Office.com and subsequently made open source, which allows you to create more interactive services both in the app and on the web: imagine a block structure for creating any type of document, not only text files, but also spreadsheets and presentations, going a little beyond the concept of individual apps such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Something similar to what we see every day on CMS, but oriented more to the creation of documents that can be shared among the team rather than pages to be published on the web in the form of blogs or articles.

On the other hand, Microsoft is making an effort for some time in the field of hybrid work, updating its operating systems and productivity suites with a particular focus on sharing documents and collaborating with teams located in different physical locations.
