In order to make it easier for users to stay on top of their important communications — across work & personal life — without having to constantly switch between devices, Microsoft has said users can now add their personal account in the Teams desktop or Web app, as well as sync all their chats to their PC in order to ensure a seamless transition between devices.
What’s more, users use the Teams desktop or Web app to call friends & family, even if they don’t have Teams installed, making it easier to connect with loved ones during the holidays. The work & personal accounts open in different windows or browser tabs on a computer, making it easy to keep them separate.
The following features are now available in preview in the Teams desktop & Web apps, with more features coming soon:
- Start a personal chat or create a group chat with up to 250 people.
- Seamlessly sync your existing chats from your phone to your computer & carry-on conversations on the device of your choice.
- Talk all day for free with friends & family via video or audio calls.
- Share video meeting invites with anyone, even if they don’t have Teams, & see up to 49 of your friends & loved ones in one frame in Gallery view or Together mode.
- Upload & share photos & videos from your computer in any personal or group chat.
