Microsoft has been working closely on Teams, and now, the company is bringing a new Spatial Sound feature to the app. Soon, you and your colleagues will sound better in meetings.

The Spatial Audio feature is aimed to improve the sound quality in general for Teams users. Microsoft has been adding several features for Teams users, and it is now time for a sound update. If you have a wired stereo headset or built-in stereo speakers, you can choose Spatial audio on the meeting pre-join screen in Device settings.

Spatial Audio is a widely-used sound feature that enhances the quality. It will make conversations more natural while increasing the sense of audio presence. In the Gallery view, this new audio experience spatializes the voices of attendees across the visual meeting stage.

It will be available for both Windows and Mac devices. "We will begin rolling out in late April and expect to complete the rollout by early May," said Microsoft about the targeted release date.

"Spatial Audio brings next-generation spatialized audio to Teams, where you can meet like you're there together. This intelligent audio technology makes the meeting experience more natural, inclusive, and focused for everyone, says Microsoft.

How to enable Spatial audio in Teams meetings?

If you want to sound crystal clear during your Teams meetings, here are the steps:

  1. Open Teams.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Select Devices from the left-hand menu.
  4. Turn on the toggle of "Spatial Audio."

Your changes will be saved automatically.

Last month, Microsoft released a public preview of the new Microsoft Teams, and it works two times faster than the previous one while using 50% less memory. Shortly after that, the company also revealed its new partnership with Snapchat, bringing Snap's lenses to the app. There are over twenty Snapchat Lenses that you can try during your meetings.

Recently, Slack complained to the European Union about Microsoft Teams being bundled with the Office Suit. According to a recent report, Microsoft won't bundle Teams with Office in the future. This means that Teams will be a separate application.

    Are these articles AI generated?

    Now the duplicates are more obvious.

      This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.

    Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
    1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
    2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro

    Why oh why?

    If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
    Better brands at better prices elsewhere.

    WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
    It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage

    I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one

    Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.

    What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?

      Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.

      I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.

      And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?

      Nope, just charge the customer twice.

      Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.

    When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?

    Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.

    For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
    quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
    unquote

    so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.

    >”Now You: what is your theory?”

    That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.

    Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.

    Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.

    The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
