Microsoft is committed to improving Teams with one more tool. It is about the Walkie Talkie function, the same one that for example we can find in the Apple Watch and that facilitates communication via audio, in this case among the users of the collaborative platform.
Microsoft carries the Walkie Talkie function as one more tool within Microsoft Teams, so that we can use the phone or tablet on which Teams is installed as one of those old “walkies” we used in the 80’s and 90’s.
A walkie without leaving the application
Walkie Talkie function has been under development stage till now and already is available to all Teams users, regardless of whether they use an iOS or Android-based device.
Walkie Talkie function can be used both via data connection and connected to a Wi-Fi network. A tool aimed especially at people who make frequent use of audio communications and are even driving phones with a dedicated button.
This is the case of the agreement reached with the company Zebra Technologies to create a device with a dedicated button that facilitates the use of the walkie talkie function.
This function is one more rival for applications that allow the sending of audios, case of WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram … so that those who use Teams can establish quick voice communications without having to leave the application.
