Go Team! @MicrosoftEdu Updates #MicrosoftTeams for #RemoteLearning

Microsoft Teams has established itself as a leading business alternative for Slack, but when it comes to working with students, it still needed some work. 

Until now.

Teams has several new upgrades that have (or soon will) roll out to make Teams a great option when for digital education and video conferencing.  

Here's what you can expect:

Rolled out in April:

ü  End meeting for all participants 

ü  Custom video background 

ü  Attendance reports for meetings

ü  Raise hand 

ü  3x3 video support 

ü  Only Educators can start the meeting. Students can't join meeting before the educator 

Rolled out in May:

ü  IT policy for default role of attendee (student)

ü  Students can chat ONLY in the Meeting – (not before or after)
