Microsoft unveils new Microsoft Teams features, including one that filters out background noise

”Mute your phone!” If you’ve ever been on a conference call, you know how annoying background noise can be. Microsoft said Thursday that Microsoft Teams will do something about it, part of a raft of new features the company will roll out over the course of the year. 

Of immediate importance to Teams users are four new features: real-time noise suppression, a “raise hand” feature, offline and low-bandwidth support features, and the ability to “pop out” a chat into a separate window. Microsoft said the chat feature is coming “soon.”

“As you know we’re using Teams each day, and it’s how I stay connected,” said Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s chief executive, in a prerecorded conversation shared with reporters. “It’s so easy to...stay focused on the documents you’re collaborating on, conduct these calls and meetings. I’ve been living pretty much the last couple of weeks on Teams and chat.”
