| Microsoft boosts Teams with new presenter tools and PowerPoint integration - Engadget Posted: 02 Mar 2021 06:01 AM PST Microsoft's Teams app for work is about to get superpowered. At its Ignite conference today, the company announced a slew of updates for its video chat tool to make it more useful and customizable. It also unveiled new made-for-Teams speakers with special features for transcriptions. First, since we clearly aren't going to return to large-scale in-person events anytime soon, Microsoft is making Teams a more powerful webinar platform. You can now have up to a thousand attendees per meeting from both inside and outside your organization. There will also be more tools like custom registration, host controls for disabling attendee chat and video, as well as "rich presentation options." You'll also get post-event reports to see how your webinar did. If you need to reach even more people, Teams can switch to a view-only broadcast mode that will support up to 10,000 attendees. From now till June 30 2021, Microsoft is bumping that number up to 20,000. It's also integrating Dynamics 365 Marketing with Teams to make it easier to manage and review attendee info so you can better engage with them before, during and after each event. The company is also debuting Teams Connect, which will let you share channels with people outside of your organization. In these shared workspaces, users can use chat, meet and share docs, as well as collaborate on apps and co-author documents in real time. Teams Connect is available in private preview today, and Microsoft said it will "roll out broadly later this calendar year."  Microsoft One of Microsoft's most beloved products is PowerPoint, and it's getting better integrated into Teams. With the new PowerPoint Live, which is available now in Teams, presenters can advance their slides whenever they like while viewers can privately skip ahead or go back at their own speed. Importantly, attendees can also use the screen reader on their own to peruse the presentation at their own pace. Presenters will be able to see their content, notes, meeting participants and chat in a single screen. Microsoft also wants to make it easier for you to see what you need on Teams. It's adding a Presenter mode for presenters to "customize how their video feed and content appear to the audience." There are three options here — Standout, Reporter and Side-by-side. Standout puts the speaker's video feed front and center while Side-by-side shows the presenter's video next to their slides Finally, Reporter will display content "as a visual aid above the speaker's shoulder just like during a news segment." This feature will launch with Standout mode this month, and Microsoft says Reporter and Side-by-side will be coming soon. If you can't decide what mode to pick, you can also leave it up to Teams to decide. Microsoft's officially introducing Dynamic View, which it sort of previewed in January. With this, the app will tweak and move frames and speaker windows as people speak, begin to present or turn on their cameras. There's also a new option to put the participant gallery at the top of the meeting, closer to where your laptop's webcam is so you can "maintain a natural eye gaze," Microsoft said. Dynamic view is arriving later this month.  Microsoft When we eventually return to meetings in physical meeting rooms, Teams will have new gallery views to make things easier to see. A new Together Mode and large gallery will allow people to see everyone in a room. Plus, if there are multiple screens available, or if people are joining the call remotely, they'll all be able to see the same content. Finally, in addition to all these updates to its software, Microsoft is also announcing new hardware. It unveiled new Teams Intelligent Speakers that look like earlier Echo Dots with a pop-up control panel. Microsoft says its speakers can identify the voices of up to 10 people talking in a Teams room for more accurate attribution in meeting transcripts. With video conferencing clearly going to continue being the primary way we work with our colleagues for awhile, it's astute of Microsoft to keep enhancing Teams. These integrations with Office apps and new tools could make Teams a more powerful service than its competitors like Google's Meet, Zoom and Webex. |

| Prosser: iPhone 12 MagSafe Battery Pack to Feature Reverse Charging - MacRumors Posted: 01 Mar 2021 01:18 PM PST Apple is working on MagSafe-compatible battery packs that will be compatible with the iPhone 12 models, and leaker Jon Prosser today said on the Genius Bar podcast that one version of the battery pack will feature "reverse charging."
/article-new/2021/02/magsafe-charging-brick-feature.jpg?lossy) According to Prosser, Apple is working on two versions of the battery packs, one that's a standard version and one that's a premium version with reverse charging. Prosser does not go into detail on reverse charging, but presumably this means that the battery pack will be able to charge an iPhone 12 while also charging AirPods from the other side at the same time. Prosser has a mixed track record when it comes to predicting Apple's plans and is not always accurate, so the reliability of this information is unclear and should be viewed with some skepticism until confirmed. Prosser claims that his source is "not sure" if Apple will release both of these battery packs or if only one will launch, so we may not see a version with reverse charging debut. Later this week, Prosser plans to release renders of the battery packs based on information from his source. Apple's work on iPhone 12 battery packs became apparent in mid-February after the launch of the second iOS 14.5 beta. There was a mention of a mysterious "battery pack" discovered in the code by MacRumors contributor Steve Moser, and Bloomberg later confirmed that Apple is indeed working on an iPhone 12 MagSafe battery pack. Gurman did not mention a reverse charging possibility, but some of the prototypes were described as having a white rubber exterior. Gurman said that development on the accessory has been hindered by software issues that Apple is still working on fixing before releasing the accessory. Bilateral wireless charging was rumored for the 2019 iPhone 11 models, but it did not end up being a feature that Apple implemented because the company wasn't able to make it work. Two way wireless charging would have allowed an iPhone to charge another iPhone or to charge a small accessory like the AirPods. |
