What’s new for Microsoft Teams – April 2025
May brings some seriously cool updates to Teams that might actually make office life better. I’m particularly excited about the new @nearby mentions and those preview controls for presenters in Town Halls.
Ever wanted to gather everyone in your building for an impromptu coffee celebration or lunch without sending 15 separate messages? Teams’ new @nearby mention type solves this perfectly. Just type @nearby and instantly notify colleagues who are physically present in your office. “Quick team lunch? We landed the Henderson account!” has never been easier to coordinate.
For anyone who’s ever accidentally shared their screen full of private tabs during a presentation, Teams now has your back. The updated “Manage what attendees see” feature lets organizers and presenters preview what’s going on screen before broadcasting it live to everyone in Town Hall meetings. No more accidental oversharing!
These are just the updates that jumped out at me this month. Check out the full post below for all the other Teams improvements rolling out now.
Which of these new features are you most looking forward to trying? And what’s still on your Teams wish list that Microsoft hasn’t delivered yet? Drop me a comment below!
