Microsoft Teams: Tasks in my area (a Tasks in Teams mobile feature)
In the Tasks app and Microsoft Planner, which helps power the Tasks app in Teams, buckets are a common way to organize tasks into different areas of work. The mobile experience for the Tasks app in Teams will soon be updated to make it easier to filter to a specific bucket or set of buckets, so you can focus on tasks in your area. We expect this simple user experience change to provide greater focus and greater productivity, while maintaining the familiar look and feel throughout the Tasks app.Feature ID: 135561

Microsoft Teams: Enable second video stream with "Teams Content Camera on Desktop"
This feature will no longer be rolling out to Teams. We will publish a new announcement when we have a new release schedule confirmed. Users will be able to enable a second video stream to support both their Personal Video and Teams Content Camera on Desktop feature. When enabling the Teams Content Camera on Desktop feature, the Personal Video is expected to be maintained so long that the user selects a separate Camera to support the two video streams. This feature will no longer be rolling out to classic Teams and will only be generally available in the new Teams experience with a revised Rollout Start schedule.Feature ID: 118580
