explanation for non-techies**

Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature for its mobile app on Android devices that simplifies the way users attach files and media. Imagine you are at a buffet with various food stations. Previously, you might have had to visit different stations to gather your appetizers, main course, and dessert. With this new update, it's like having a single, convenient station where you can pick up everything you need for your meal.

In the context of Teams, this means that instead of navigating through different menus or options to attach different types of content, you can now use the paperclip icon in the app to easily select and attach any type of file or media from one place. This change aims to make the process more intuitive and less time-consuming, much like how a well-organized buffet allows you to enjoy your meal without unnecessary detours.

The rollout of this feature will happen automatically, so there's no need for any administrative action. However, it might be helpful to inform your team members about this change so they can take full advantage of the new, streamlined attachment process. Just like you might tell your colleagues about a new shortcut to the office, sharing this update ensures everyone can benefit from the improved functionality.
