These days only the lazy haven\u2019t heard of AI and how it\u2019s revolutionizing the world of work. But did you know that AI is playing a major role in enhancing Microsoft Teams’ capabilities?  Being a super-hot topic for us as well, we decided to dig a bit deeper and analyze how Teams is using AI to improve communication and collaboration for their users. In this blog post, we’ll explore the AI features currently available in Teams, as well as Microsoft’s plans to integrate OpenAI into its ecosystem. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Current AI-powered features available in Microsoft Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are already quite a few AI-powered features available in Teams that we use everyday without thinking about it twice. Most of them are presented in Microsoft Teams meetings<\/strong>. Over the past few years they have become more intelligent and interactive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s go through some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Teams meeting features driven by AI<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Customizable background<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d bet we\u2019ve all used this one during Microsoft Teams r\u00e9unions<\/a>. This feature uses AI to blur the background or replace it with another one while in video calls and meetings, creating a professional appearance and minimizing distractions. To use this feature, simply select the background you want when starting a video call or meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Together mode<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This mode uses AI to create a virtual meeting environment that can simulate the feeling of being in the same room with other participants. To turn it on, select “Together mode” when setting up a meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Noise suppression<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another great feature that allows you to have meetings even in loud and noisy environments. That\u2019s very convenient, especially for people working remotely. AI filters out background noise during meetings, making it easier to hear and communicate with other participants. To use this feature, you\u2019ll only need to turn on noise suppression in the meeting options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Speaker attribution<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This feature helps you identify who is speaking during a meeting. The person\u2019s video stream will be highlighted with a purple frame. Also their name is displayed next to their speech in the meeting transcript. To use this feature, make sure meeting transcription is turned on, and the speaker attribution will automatically appear in the transcript.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Live captions, meeting recordings and transcription<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Live captions use AI to transcribe speech in real time during meetings, making it easier for participants to follow along. It\u2019s especially topical for international teams where a language barrier can take place. It also makes it easier for hearing-impaired team members to follow conversations, improving inclusivity in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the meeting you can see the transcription in the meeting recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Presenter mode<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Presenter<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This AI-powered feature enhances the presenter’s presence in the meeting by placing them in front of the shared content. This feature uses AI to segment the presenter from the background and place them in a virtual scene, making the presentation more engaging. This works especially well if you\u2019re organizing webinars or pitch your product to investors or potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Teams Premium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

These are just some AI-powered features that we can benefit from in Microsoft Teams meetings. There\u2019s more in Microsoft Teams Premium<\/a>. It builds on the collaborative experience of Microsoft Teams and integrates Large Language Models that are fueled by OpenAI’s GPT. This integration makes meetings more intelligent, personalized, and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Micorsoft<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One feature that\u2019s important to mention is intelligent recap. It automatically generates meeting notes, recommended tasks, and personalized highlights to help users get the information that is most important to them, even if they missed the meeting. The intelligent recap can save time spent reviewing meeting recordings, as AI-generated chapters divide the meeting into sections so it is easy to pick and choose the most relevant content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalized timeline markers are also available, which call out when users join or leave a meeting in the recording, allowing them to quickly listen to what they missed. Soon<\/a>, these personalized meeting highlights will expand to include speaker timeline markers, showing users who spoke during the meeting and when. This will allow them to jump to that moment and never miss feedback shared from managers in meetings again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another useful feature in Teams Premium is live translations for captions. They support 40 spoken languages, allowing participants to read captions in their own language, breaking down language barriers and enabling teams to collaborate more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"AI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These AI-driven meeting features are designed to help users be more productive during meetings and focus on what matters most.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Other AI features available in Microsoft Teams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t stop at meetings though. Microsoft is s constantly working on new updates and improvements to the platform.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Builder for Teams<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This Power Platform capability allows you to gain insights from your data. For example, it can analyze email sentiment, process receipts, analyze tech articles and YouTube videos, and provide you with insights through Teams notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can build a flow from an already existing template in Connecteur Power Automate<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cortana<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another good example of AI integrated into Microsoft Teams is Cortana<\/a>. It\u2019s an AI assistant that can help with tasks like scheduling meetings, sending messages, and making calls. Not that for now, this feature is only available in English speaking countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggested messages<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You probably noticed that now when your colleagues send you a Teams message, you get automatic suggestions for replies. This feature uses machine learning to suggest responses based on the context of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"AI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Quite convenient, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Inline message translation<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Users working in international teams probably noticed this one. This feature uses AI to translate messages in Teams chats, allowing for communication across languages. All you need to do is to right-click on the message you want to translate and select “Translate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
