Microsoft is redesigning its online meeting software, which will move the raise hand button from the main toolbar and allow users to personalize the controls displayed there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The update was announced on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/roadmap?id=560321\">Microsoft 365 Roadmap<\/a> and is expected to roll out sometime in June this year. The changes will group the Raise Hand feature under the Reactions button \u201cto reduce mis-clicks,\u201d according to Microsoft, which is handy because the two functions are easy to conflate at a glance. That should prevent Teams users from disrupting calls with hand-raising when they actually wanted to send emoji reactions, or simply by missing the intended button.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">New customizations will also enable users to pin, unpin, and reorder controls on the meeting toolbar, and the \u201cLeave\u201d button will be \u201cclearly separated on the right\u201d \u2014 suggesting that this also intends to remedy people accidentally closing calls or frantically looking for how to leave when meetings are finished. Microsoft hasn\u2019t provided any images of the expected redesign, but says that it\u2019s \u201cdesigned to be faster and easier to use,\u201d even if it \u201cmay feel different at first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/915586\/microsoft-teams-accidental-hand-raising-fix\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve ever had the embarrassing displeasure of interrupting a Microsoft Teams meeting by accidentally hitting the \u201craise hand\u201d feature,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17124"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo4.dedicatedhost247.com\/newstime\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
