Remove calls from your call history list

Declutter your call history view by hiding calls from your list. To remove a call from your history, go to Calls   > History. Hover over the call you'd like to remove and select More actions   > Remove from view.

Removing a call from your call history removes it from view on all your devices. Admins can still retrieve call data from removed calls. To learn more, see View your call history in Teams

Shared channels bring ease to working together

Through Microsoft Teams, you can securely collaborate with partners outside your organization. Shared channels make it easier to collaborate with those inside and outside your organization, helping your extended team work effectively and efficiently. With shared channels you can schedule meetings, share files, and work together in apps without switching tenants.

To learn more, see What is a shared channel in Teams?

Join a meeting with an ID and passcode

Chat with yourself

In Teams, we encourage you to talk to yourself with the newest chat feature—a one-on-one chat with yourself. Send messages, files, notes, and media to yourself to help you stay organized. You'll find your chat at the top of your pinned chats in the chat list. Keep it pinned for quick access to all the things you send yourself whether you're using Teams on your desktop, the web, or your phone.

Use annotation together in a Teams meeting

Annotation—powered by Microsoft Whiteboard—helps you collaborate on things like a design or presentation while sharing your screen in a Teams meeting. 

While you're sharing your full screen in a meeting, select Start annotation   in the meeting controls at the upper-middle area of your screen. The red outline around your shared screen will turn blue and all participants will see the Microsoft Whiteboard toolset at the top of the shared screen. Everyone in the meeting can begin annotating right away, and the red pen tool is selected by default. To learn more, see Use annotation while sharing your screen in Teams

Live transcription and CART captions now available for Teams on the web 

You're now able to view captions coming from a CART provider (real-time captioning) within the Microsoft Teams meeting on Chrome and Edge browsers. Meeting organizers and participants will be able to ask their captioning providers to stream captions to Microsoft Teams. 

The same goes for Live transcription. To learn more about these two features, see View live transcription in a Teams meeting and Use CART captions in a Microsoft Teams meeting
