This new Microsoft Teams update could make it easier to find people you need to contact.

Locate the right people using search in Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams is improving its search function, making it easier for users to find content related to specific people. This update, which is in the process of being rolled out to users on Windows and Mac, aims to optimize the search experience on the video conferencing platform.

Users will simply be able to enter a person's name in the Microsoft Teams search bar and then select the appropriate filter to refine the results. The update, known as "enhanced people search," promises to provide relevant content suggestions without the need for significant changes to the interface.

This advancement is part of a series of improvements that Microsoft Teams has been making to remain useful and intuitive for users. Recently, the platform introduced the option to customize notification sounds, allowing users to choose melodies that are less disruptive during their work. Additionally, the ability to reserve desks upon arriving at the office has been incorporated, facilitating access to shared workspaces.

One of the most significant new features is the option to select a preferred skin tone for reactions and emojis in Microsoft Teams, offering users greater personalization.
