What’s New in Microsoft Teams | May 2022 – Microsoft shares many new updates to enhance the way you work with meeting invites. Updates include the ability to now enhance the video quality when lighting is poor by turning on the Adjust brightness filter. You can also use Soft focus to apply a subtle smoothing effect. Both filters are now available before joining meetings, as well as during meetings. Simply navigate to the device settings to enable these filters. Currently, Soft focus is not available for EDU tenants.
