Microsoft Teams is getting this new ‘dynamic’ view option to make your meetings more interesting

Microsoft Teams is gaining a new feature that should help improve the visibility of slides and key speakers during meetings and events.  

The new feature, dubbed Dynamic View, will be rolling out worldwide on Teams for the desktop in March. Spotted by Windows Latest, the controls should help boost engagement by automatically adjusting the size of shared content, such as slides, in a group meeting or an event. Participants also have the option to display slides and a key speaker in a larger frame, next to each other. 

This should be an improvement to the meetings experience in the existing version of the Teams desktop app, which only displays the presenter or participant in a small frame when watching shared content.

BT offers unlimited data for remote learning

Aiming to help children who need support in virtual schooling during the UK’s third Covid-19 lockdown, BT has launched the Lockdown Learning Support Scheme.

In response to the closure of schools and colleges, all major UK broadband companies have removed data caps on their broadband packages and, on 5 January, the government launched its Get Help With Technology programme, which aims to increase data allowances on mobile devices to support disadvantaged children.

It is designed to expand temporarily allowances for mobile phone users on certain networks, so that children and young people can access remote education if their face-to-face education is disrupted. Schools, trusts and local authorities can request mobile data increases when schools report a closure or have pupils self-isolating, also on behalf of children who cannot attend school face-to-face because they are clinically extremely vulnerable or restrictions prevent them going to school.
