Microsoft Teams with new useful functionality for all users

Finally, the Walkie Talkie feature is available to all users, after two years of going through various improvements and tweaks.

Now all Android and iOS users can communicate via data or Wi-Fi on their mobile devices, just like they would with a walkie talkie.

Walkie Talkie Feature Announced in 2020

Microsoft announced the Walkie Talkie feature for the Teams platform in the distant year 2020, but it is only now available to all Android and iOS users.

Thus, from now on all users can turn their smartphone into a radio communicator, in real time. In other words, users can communicate with each other in exactly the same way as they did in childhood with the popular walkie talkies.

And activating the functionality couldn’t be easier. Just touch the smartphone screen to initiate contact, via device data or Wi-F. According to Microsoft, this feature is intended to enable real-time contact with co-workers, as well as reduce “stress and friction” at work.

New feature aimed at frontline workers

In fact, this functionality is quite similar to voice messages, which have long been integrated into smartphones. But, in addition to allowing real-time contact, it can also be very useful in emergency situations.

In fact, the company mentions that one of the target groups of the functionality is exactly the frontline workers, which include paramedics, firefighters, among others, who can easily activate the function to contact colleagues.

And the choice of this target group has a very specific reason. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Microsoft has seen an increase in the use of its chat platform.

Something that we had all noticed, even from our own experience. But according to data from the company itself, the health area has seen a 560% increase in the use of the platform. And that was the reason why the company gave such a specific example of a group of workers for a feature that could be very useful for all users.
