Microsoft is introducing the ability to integrate popular workplace apps like Asana into meetings on its Teams collaboration platform. Teams meetings were previously limited to chats and channel communications, but now users can integrate 20 new apps into their meetings. For instance, you can discuss and modify a project built in Asana with others directly within a Teams meeting.
The new apps for meetings join the more than 700 already available in the Teams App Store, Microsoft said.
Microsoft Power Automate app for Teams has a workflow designer and templates to help users automate routine tasks, and its Power Virtual Agents app for Teams lets users build, deploy, and manage low-code bots.
Microsoft is also making its Dataverse for Teams, a low-code data platform, generally available for use in Teams to help admins control the data used to build apps and other processes in Teams.
Microsoft Teams now has 115 million daily active users, an uptick of more than 50 percent from just six months ago.
