Microsoft Teams 2.0 Effortless Inter-Group Chats

Teams 2.0 Unveiled: Effortless Inter-Group Chats

The upcoming update of Microsoft Teams will bring in new ways for employees to connect with various groups.

As we get closer to the launch of the new Microsoft Teams version for Windows, also known as Teams 2.0, we are learning more about it from the company. Today, it revealed some new features designed to make it easier for users to switch between chats with different groups in the same organization.

In a blog post, Microsoft talked about the new multi-tenant organization (MTO) group features that are coming to Teams 2.0. It said:

“With the new Teams client, users can now work across multiple tenants and accounts in side-by-side windows. They can join a meeting or collaborate in a channel hosted in another tenant, and at the same time, write chat messages in their own tenant. Users can receive notifications for all accounts and tenants added to the Teams client, regardless of which one they are currently using.”

Apart from adding ways to chat with different groups in the same organization side by side, there’s also a new search experience coming to Teams with the new Windows client. Microsoft says that searching for a colleague in Teams who is in a different tenant will show up as a single search result with the new Windows app.

Since these features are still being tested, IT admins will need to go to the Microsoft 365 admin center and ask it to refresh the business or organization’s tenants in the MTO group. Microsoft said the new features should be turned on without needing any more configuration changes.

While the new MTO features will be available first on the new Teams client for Windows, Microsoft mentions that the other Teams apps for Mac and mobile devices will also get these features soon. The same will happen with the web-based Teams app.
