The company added that this new update is pretty easy to use, especially since most people are familiar with how WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger work. Microsoft is trying to recreate these applications' capability on Windows 10 and macOS by enabling support for new chat bubbles in Teams.
Specifically, the company explained that the new Chat Bubbles can easily be identified since they will appear on the main screen of your Microsoft Teams display. This will allow you to see the chats of those who are not speaking during the video chat.
The new Chat Bubbles will surface on the screens of all meeting participants and it will allow users to participate in the discussion without having to switch to the current chat screen. Microsoft claimed that this new feature will make its Teams platform more central to conversations.
