Microsoft Teams 1.3

Microsoft has updated its Teams collaborative workspace and group chat app to version 1.3, adding the capability to view meeting details from your calendar without opening the meeting. The release also adds live captions that display the name of the speaker when generating captions during a meeting (available in US English only), enables meeting organizers to disable attendee mics to prevent them from unmuting during a meeting, and adds new keyboard shortcuts — Option-Shift-C to start a new conversation and Option-Shift-R to reply to a thread.

Shortly after this release, Microsoft issued an update that offers new notification settings and adds support for using the Freehand by Invision app for whiteboard capabilities. (Free download, 92.9 MB, release notes, macOS 10.11+)
