Advanced Communications feature has been added to Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams can now offer huge meetings that can contain up to 20,000 participants. However, these users are limited to the view-only program. If you wish to participate, you will have to be one of 1,000 people, because Microsoft Teams cannot do more than that.

Many users reported that they want to see more than 4 users on the screen at a time. Microsoft has responded to this offer and now we are able to see up to 9 people on the screen. This was done pretty quickly as Microsoft teams tend to resolve such issues pretty quickly.

• Live captions are added to every video or audio stream.
• We can now add music if the caller is on hold.

It has become even more useful because of the Corona pandemic. Just as you are reading this, teams surpassed the 50 million user threshold.
