Schedule Send Suggestions in Teams Chat
When composing a 1:1 message in Teams chat after-hours, users will see schedule send suggestions that enable postponing message delivery until the start of the chat recipient’s working hours.
As an extension of Suggested Replies in 1:1 chats, you can now easily save time when you need to send a file in a chat by tapping on a “Share file” suggestion. The “Share file” action will appear in chat whenever intent is detected to send a file.
Offline meetings in Microsoft Teams
For events such as personal appointments, lunch break slots on calendar, and in-person meetings, you can now create a true appointment in Teams calendar by turning off the online toggle for a meeting. Offline events will not create chat thread and other teams meeting artifacts that are tightly coupled with teams’ online meetings.
Reminder Emails for Webinars
Every Teams webinar has a reminder email sent one hour before event start. To build excitement and drive attendance as the webinar draws near, you can now leverage timely, automated reminder emails to ensure the event remains top of mind. These emails will be sent to every confirmed registrant at a configured date and time you set ahead of the event and will include a custom-branded header, webinar details, and a link to join the event.
New Files app in Teams
Securely store, organize, and collaborate on all your files anytime, from anywhere and across all of your devices with the new Files app experience in Teams. The new Files app brings a modern experience to all of your content from your chats, channels or meetings including any location from OneDrive or SharePoint. An updated menu bar will help you navigate to your content quickly.
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature: Speaker View. This option can be selected from the View icon on the meeting toolbar, allowing users to effortlessly track the current active speaker. Speaker View is particularly effective in scenarios with a limited number of key speakers and a large audience, such trainings or lectures.
Find your recording, transcripts, meeting content, and meeting notes all under a single new Recap tab. Watch your recording directly in the Recap tab to catch up on what was discussed and review the notes and transcript without having to switch screens/apps. Users can access Recap from Calendar after meeting ended or directly from meeting chat. When both recording and transcript is available from the meeting, the recap tab will show: 
“Bookings with me” helps you reduce the back and forth in scheduling and allows you to maintain control of your calendar. You’ll be able to create custom bookable slots to share with others so they can easily schedule a 1:1 meeting with you according to your availability and preferences. When someone books a slot with you using your personal booking page, you will both receive an email confirmation. Attendees can update or cancel scheduled meetings with you directly from your personal bookings page.
Collaborative Meeting Notes (June 2023)
Users will see a Notes button during meetings that offers new capabilities to track what you want to discuss (Agenda), what you discussed/decided (Notes) and what you need to follow up on (Follow-up Tasks). Meeting notes will be shown on the right pane of the meeting window with the ability to open them in the browser for more room or on a second monitor. Participants can collaborate in real time, create an agenda, take notes and add tasks. When participants are assigned a task in the meeting, they will also receive an email notification and it will be synced with the Planner and To Do apps.
The new Caption Settings pane offers easier navigation. Users will have the ability to customize the size and color of their font as well as the height and position of the caption window with the option to scroll to review captions of what has been said, up to one minute prior.
Users can access the options in meetings via More … > Language and speech > Turn on live captions > Click on new Settings ⚙️ in the captions section > Caption settings.
