Among the many features Microsoft announced for Teams lately, such as Copilot coming to the platform, the addition of a private line, and a simplified compose box, the Redmond-based tech giant also made Teams 2.0, or the new Teams, the default Teams client.

Microsoft claims the new Teams is faster, and performs better all around; however, one important note is that the new Teams will also get multiple new features. And if we are to take a closer look at the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, the Redmond-based tech giant plans to release 2 important updates for Teams in the following months.

First, users will be able to create workflows directly in Teams chats, specifically in group chats. With this feature, Microsoft will greatly enhance collaboration between workmates.

Users will be able to configure workflows within their group chats.

Workflows in Teams group chats, and improved Together Mode are coming to Microsoft Teams

While workflows in Teams group chats will be released in November, the Redmond-based tech giant is also new improvements for Teams’ Together mode, according to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap.

Together mode will have a new layout and the section will now be displayed under the shared content. The layout will allow users to see all the participants, and Microsoft promises that it will be a new experience.

With the new layout, Together mode will be displayed under the shared content. The users will be able to see the participants in Together mode and shared content simultaneously in a completely new way. Full Together mode experience is available including raised hands, reactions and name labels.

Both features will be available worldwide on desktop platforms. However, the new Together mode will be released to Teams in December. Just in time for all the other updates to roll out.
