Microsoft Build 2022 Announcements: Queue-Tips
The pandemic has dramatically accelerated the role of technology as a core enabler for hybrid work, and developers are at the heart of this transformation. At Microsoft Build last year, collaborative apps, a new app pattern designed to bring people, processes, and data together to help users thrive in the hybrid workplace were introduced. This year at Build 2022, Microsoft is sharing several enhancements and new capabilities for developers building collaborative apps for Teams and Microsoft 365. We are providing information about these new capabilities in our current edition of Queue-Tips.
Introducing Live Share: Interactive app experiences in Teams meetings
A capability for your apps to go beyond passive screen sharing and enable participants to co-watch, co-edit, co-create, and more in Teams meetings. Developers can use new preview extensions to the Teams SDK to easily extend existing Teams apps and create Live Share experiences in meetings.
Introducing Microsoft Azure Communication Services sample app builder
Microsoft Azure Communication Services interoperability with Teams enables you to create experiences that support seamless communications between customers on any custom app or website and employees working in Teams. Introducing Azure Communication Services sample app builder, enabling developers to easily build and deploy a sample application for virtual appointments in just a few minutes, with no coding needed. Through the sample app, customers can book appointments powered by Microsoft Bookings and join a Teams meeting through a custom web app with a company-branded experience, while staff use Teams to join scheduled appointments.
SharePoint Framework and Microsoft Viva Connections
SharePoint is the most flexible content collaboration platform powering experiences across Microsoft 365. SharePoint Framework now lets you create parts and pages in SharePoint sites, Teams apps, and more. It is at the centre of our extensibility capabilities for the new Microsoft Viva Connections employee experience platform.
In-app purchasing for Teams apps
A top request from partners and developers is to provide the ability to include a paywall experience directly from within your Teams app. This gives you the ability to turn a free app into a freemium version, where you can choose when to prompt your users when to subscribe to your app. The new in-app purchase functionality is available today and can be invoked with a few lines of code.
