New AI event capabilities
One of the most exciting features, recently introduced by Microsoft Team is empowering the MS Office with new AI-infused event capabilities that allow anyone in your organization to create live and on-demand events. The events can be viewed in real-time or on-demand, with high-definition video and interactive discussion.
With this new add-on, you can leave an unforgettable experience for users. This facilitates –

Events can be as simple or sophisticated as you prefer. You can use webcams, content, and screen sharing for informal presentations or stream a studio-quality production for more formal events.
