Microsoft Teams is making it easier for you to stay connected while on the go by integrating with Apple CarPlay. Think of it like having a personal assistant in your car that helps you manage your work without taking your eyes off the road. With this feature, you can use Siri, Apple's voice assistant, to interact with Teams. It's similar to how you might ask a passenger to read a text message or remind you of a meeting, but instead, you're asking Siri to do it for you.

Imagine you're driving to a meeting and suddenly remember you need to send a quick message to your team. Instead of pulling over or trying to type while driving, you can simply say, "Hey Siri, send a message in Teams," and dictate your message. This keeps your hands on the wheel and your focus on driving, much like having a co-pilot who handles your communications.

Joining meetings is also simplified. If you're on your way to a virtual meeting, you can ask Siri to join the meeting for you. It's like having a direct line to your conference room without needing to fumble with your phone. And if you need to participate actively, you can use voice commands to raise your hand or engage in discussions, similar to signaling in a meeting room when you have something to add.

This integration is designed to make your work life more manageable and safer while driving, allowing you to stay productive without compromising safety. It's available worldwide for those using Microsoft Teams on iOS devices, and it's a step towards making remote work more seamless, even when you're on the road.
