Keep your finger on the pulse of digital collaboration: The latest Teams updates at a glance!
Microsoft Teams is constantly evolving. New functions, optimised tools and innovative solutions make the platform an indispensable companion in modern working life. In our latest update, we present the most exciting new features and show you how you can make your digital collaboration more efficient, creative and productive. Whether you are an experienced power user or a Teams newcomer: You shouldn't miss out on these trends!
Combined chats all in one place
Probably the biggest change: Microsoft Teams simplifies navigation with the new combined chats view. The previous ‘Teams’ menu item has been completely removed and chats, teams and channels will be clearly organised in one central location in future. This allows users to switch effortlessly between different areas without wasting time clicking back and forth.
Instead of having to use separate tabs for chats and channels, all conversations, projects and teams can now be managed in a single view. This not only makes navigation easier, but also provides more structure in collaboration, especially for topics that are spread across several channels.

We at Dinotronic see this change as an important step towards improving clarity and workflows in Microsoft Teams. However, the changeover could be a challenge for some users. A gradual introduction and targeted training will help to ensure a smooth transition.

The combined view has been available in a public preview since November 2024. Take the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the new options now and we will be happy to support you!
Revised calendar view More flexibility for your scheduling
Another exciting new feature in Microsoft Teams is the completely revised calendar view. With a modernised design and enhanced functions, scheduling is easier and more intuitive than ever before.
A particular highlight: almost all Outlook functions are now directly integrated into Microsoft Teams. You can schedule meetings, manage invitations, view participant lists and set reminders - all without having to switch apps. This seamless integration makes Microsoft Teams a central platform for digital collaboration and reduces the need to switch between different applications.
The new calendar view opens up a wide range of possibilities for more efficient working. Appointments and tasks can be managed centrally, which not only saves time, but also significantly simplifies and structures everyday work.

Copilot integration The future of AI-supported collaboration
With the integration of Microsoft Copilot, Teams takes collaboration to a new level. The AI-supported functions make it possible to intelligently summarise meetings, suggest relevant tasks and integrate contextual responses directly into the chat. What's special: These functions are also available in Swiss German, which makes them even more intuitive to use for many users. This not only saves you valuable time, but also ensures that all team members are always on the same page.
We at Dinotronic are convinced that Copilot is a real game changer for digital collaboration. The AI support helps teams to work more focused and efficiently, while repetitive or organisational tasks are automated. We look forward to helping our customers realise the full potential of this technology.
Mobile Update Redefining productivity on the go
The mobile version of Microsoft Teams has also been significantly improved. An offline mode now enables access to documents and chats, even without an internet connection. AI-supported push notifications also filter out relevant information and thus reduce distractions.
This update is a huge benefit for anyone who is often on the move. We at Dinotronic see it as a further step towards increasing productivity in an increasingly mobile working world.
Conclusion
The latest updates to Microsoft Teams make the platform more versatile, more intuitive and more powerful. From improved navigation and the seamless integration of calendars and AI functions to mobile optimisations: These innovations support companies in making their digital collaboration efficient and user-friendly.
