Like many of you, I have to juggle mutltiple software platforms throughout my working day, and the ability for any of them to work together seamlessly is incredibly welcome.
Analysis - An end to video call frustration?Įver since the pandemic set off the video conferencing arms race, the competition between Microsoft, Zoom and Google (and too a lesser extent, Cisco Webex and BlueJeans, among others) has been intense. Microsoft says the feature will be available on Windows desktop and Mac devices, with a scheduled rollout date of August 2023. There's little extra detail on exactly how the feature will work for now, but as per the description, we're guessing the update will allow users to launch a Zoom or Google Meet call directly from their calendar marker. In the official Microsoft 365 roadmap entry for the new feature, only Zoom is mentioned in the title, however "Google meet" (sic) is also mentioned in the description as another "third-party meeting application" that will be included. The news is a rare moment of co-operation between the software giants, and perhaps a sign that Microsoft, at least, is opening up to the needs of users who have to juggle mutliple video conferencing platforms on a daily basis.
