Microsoft Teams Roundup January 2020.
什么是新的: Chat & Collaboration
Improve communication transparency with read receipts
Do you often wonder if your teammates saw the message you sent them? Read receipts in private chats allow senders to know when their message was read by the recipient. Read receipts are powerful, because they also allow the recipient to communicate implicitly that they are not ignoring the sender, they may just be busy and haven’t gotten a chance to read their message.
The “Colleague joined Teams” notification lets you know who is new to Teams
Welcome to the team! You can now connect with new team members faster and welcome them to the team. You will receive a notification in your activity feed when a new colleague joins Teams for the first time. Send them a GIF to say hello!
什么是新的: Meetings & Calling
Voice Administration— New workload in the Teams Admin Center
As a part of our ongoing process to provide IT admins more visibility into additional workloads, Voice Administration has been added as a workload in the Teams Admin Center. This means that Microsoft Calling Plan customers will be able to search, acquire, and assign phone numbers to users. Admins will also be able to set emergency addresses for those end-users. 此外, customers will be able to create / test / manage custom dial plans, configure Dynamic Emergency Calling, and use improved configuration for Auto Attendants and Call Queues.

Learn more about student performance with Class Insights
We’re so excited to introduce Class Insights, a new experience for educators that will help them gain insight into student performance. Educators can add the new Class Insights tab to their class team and see average grades, on-time assignments, average return time, and conversation activity for their class over time. Class Insights gives teachers a single view to observe individual student and class performance.
With this student data right at your fingertips, your school will be able to make even more informed decisions about curriculum, pacing, and student engagement.
什么是新的: GCC
Website Tab in GCC High and DOD
Users in the GCC High and DOD tenants can now add a website tab in Teams. Leveraging this tab, users will have the ability to pin URLs as well as SharePoint links, etc. for easy access to their content. By default, this feature is released as “turned off”. Please work with your IT admin to begin using the feature.
3rd Party Apps In GCC
GCC customers can now use 3rd party apps in Microsoft Teams – check out the library to see if apps you already use and love are available to integrate. Note that by default, access to 3rd party apps is turned off. In addition, apps need to be vetted for regulatory, security, and policy compliance by your organization before they can be enabled for users to access. Please work with your IT admin to make your preferred apps available for use.
