🆕 Update: Was ist neu in Teams & Microsoft 365? (Dezember 2024)

December 2024 Update for Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365

The December 2024 update for Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 introduces several significant features aimed at improving user experience and functionality. Key highlights include:

• Unified Chat and Teams View:
  • The chat and teams sections are now combined into a single view, allowing users to see both chats and teams in one place. This change aims to enhance overview and usability, although some users may need time to adjust to the new layout.
  • Users can revert to the previous layout if preferred.
• Enhanced Filtering Options:
  • New filters allow users to sort through unread messages, chats, channels, meetings, and muted items, improving navigation and organization.
• Custom Sections:
  • Users can create custom sections to group related chats and channels, making it easier to manage projects and thematic discussions.
• New Calendar Integration:
  • Teams now features the new Outlook calendar, which provides a better overview and allows users to manage appointments without switching between applications. The new calendar includes a monthly view and supports shared calendars.
• Updated Files Tab:
  • The "Files" tab in chats has been renamed to "Shared," reflecting that files are stored in OneDrive rather than in the chat itself. This change clarifies how documents are accessed and managed.
• Centralized Team Overview:
  • A new overview page for all teams and channels allows users to easily view their memberships, roles, and manage their participation in various projects.
• CoPilot Features:
  • The update includes CoPilot functionality, which provides AI agents to assist users in automating tasks. Users can create custom agents to handle specific responsibilities and queries.
• Planner Updates:
  • The Planner WebApp has received an update, aligning its functionality and appearance with the Teams app. This allows for a consistent user experience across platforms.

The update rollout began in November and is expected to continue into early 2025, with many users likely to have access by now.
