Yet another Teams Mobile App new feature – Quick Capture Content!!!

Today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix is yet another amazing new feature will soon be added to the Teams Mobile App in iOS and Android to quickly capture shared content!

Most meetings include shared content. When you are on the go participating in Teams meetings on your mobile device you may want to capture content to refer back to when your back at your desk or to share with other team members. Up to this point your only option was to use the mobile operating systems native screen capture.

With Quick Capture you can screenshot content shared in a Teams meeting on a mobile device, save it to your mobile photo gallery, annotate as desired, and then easily share in Teams and other apps subject to content sensitivity labels. Access is via the ellipsis (“…”) menu during the meeting.

Set ‘Out of Office’ from Teams Mobile App

You can soon set up your ‘Out of Office’ from within the Teams Mobile App itself on iOS and Android. That is today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix !!!

Previously you could only set your ‘Out of Office’ using the Teams Desktop / Web client or switch over to the Outlook Mobile App. With this capability users can now make this change on the go within the Teams Mobile App itself with configuration found under the same menu to set your availability status!

Malicious Intra-Organizational Emails are now protected by default

Today’s #MicrosoftQuickFix is that Microsoft has enabled in Microsoft Defender for Office 365 intra-organizational email protection by default for high-confidence phishing messages containing malicious or spam-based URLs!

This new feature in the Windows Defender for Office 365 Anti-spam policy controls whether spam filtering and the corresponding selected action for the spam verdict is applied to internal messages (email sent between users in your Exchange Online organization).

The deployment of this feature is complete for intra-organizational messages with the default value of High confidence phishing messages selected which will quarantine the message. This feature is available in all Microsoft Tenants worldwide!

If you don’t want to utilize this feature on intra-organizational messages it can be disabled by modifying the Anti-spam Policy setting for ‘Intra-Organizational messages to take action on’ to none. 

You can also modify the Anti-spam Policy setting to apply to other spam filter verdicts.

Outlook to help with scheduling meetings across time zones

This one is personally topical – Microsoft is about to rollout improvements to meeting scheduling in Outlook for users collaborating across multiple time zones and that is today’s #MicrosoftCloudQuickFix !

Coordinating the scheduling of meetings across different time zones can be a challenge. Figuring out which attendee is in which time zone, east coast end of day, west coast start time, and what about if some attendees are located in between! This can make for a scheduling nightmare.

With this new feature when scheduling a meeting with attendees from different time zones a Tool Tip will be displayed to the organizer and the Scheduling Assistant will provide time zone information for each attendee. Organizers can quickly identify suitable meeting times that work for everyone!

This feature is currently only available thru Outlook on the Web. Deployment has begun and is to be completed by late October 2023 and will be available in all Microsoft Tenants worldwide!
