At its Ignite 2022 conference, Microsoft released a number of new Teams chat and meeting capabilities. The major news is that Microsoft intends to revamp Microsoft Teams to enhance the current channel experience.
When dealing with the Teams desktop client in some crucial situations, Microsoft has considerably decreased latency for Windows and Mac users.
The software is now more than 30% faster when navigating between chat and channel threads, according to Jeff Chen, a Microsoft Principal Group Program Manager for Microsoft Teams.
Chen claimed that the updated Teams framework, which now renders the HTML tree more quickly, runs JavaScript more effectively, and serializes arrays with greater efficiency, is the cause of these significant speed increases.
Microsoft also made improvements to messaging latency and page load speeds in June, including 63% faster message-composing box loads and an 11% improvement in scrolling across chat and channel lists.
In February, the business announced that Teams dramatically reduces the amount of power needed for meetings, utilizing up to 50% less power for energy-intensive scenarios in video meetings with more than 10 participants.
