Microsoft Continues Expansion of Collaboration Capabilities

The ability to host live events — defined by Microsoft as "live video events alongside rich conversation capabilities to everyone across the organization, on any device" — went into general availability for both Yammer and Microsoft Teams. As Microsoft said:

"Live events bring value to communities of any kind, by connecting people around important topics or moments, and fostering two-way discussion and engagement to help communities take important steps toward their goals. The events can be hosted live or on-demand and can be as simple or complex as necessary – allowing up to 10,000 attendees to join and participate whether they are in Steam, Microsoft Teams, or Yammer and leveraging powerful artificial intelligence (AI) features—such as automatic transcription—to unlock the content of the event recording."
