Microsoft Teams will get an update, and a new Lists app will help track work across Teams, SharePoint and Outlook.

New updates to Microsoft Teams and Windows 10 and a new List app are coming to Microsoft 365 soon, company executives said at the annual Microsoft Build developer conference on Tuesday. Due to coronavirus lockdowns and quarantines, the conference is taking place online this week.

Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming changes, and how they will affect your workflow and use of these platforms.

Users of Microsoft Teams — the company’s workplace video chat service that has seen major increases in use during the pandemic — will soon see improvements to app search, and personalized suggestions, to help you find the most relevant apps in the Teams store. Later this year, you’ll be able to open apps in a separate window for easier access.

Customizable templates are also coming to Teams in the next few months. These templates will make it so you don’t have to set up a new team from scratch, and instead give you several customizable templates to choose from depending on the purpose of the group, such as event management or crisis response.

The Bookings app is also now generally available in Teams, which lets organizations manage meetings among multiple departments, staff members and outside guests in one scheduling tool. Interoperability with Skype TX (rolling out in May) and NDI support (coming in June) will let you use Teams to create online conferences, interviews, press briefings, entertainment and other productions. You’ll also be able to share those productions through social media, streaming platforms, TV broadcasts or websites.

For developers, new extensions in Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code will let you build Teams apps within other tools, and publish apps directly to AppSource or your organization’s app catalog. Power Apps Studio integration with teams will do the same for low code or no code developers, too. And once an app is published, IT admins will have new app management capabilities, including the ability to purchase licenses for apps directly within the admin center.
