The most important addition by far is support for video calls. Users can now connect face-to-face using immersive video calling through Microsoft Teams. Another useful new feature this update adds is the ability to create new channels within Microsoft Teams. Concerning the visual improvements, version 1.0.12 brings improved image viewer experience within Microsoft Teams. Users will now find it easier to zoom and pan while using the viewer.

Recent Android update and Trello
A few days ago, Microsoft announced a similar update for its Teams app for Android. That update brought similar new features to the Microsoft Teams for Android app, such as the ability to create new channels. In addition, Microsoft recently announced Trello integration with Microsoft Teams. This means users on desktop and web clients can view Trello from within the Team’s interface, saving time and taskbar space. They can also link Trello cards online and have dedicated channels.
