Still waiting for collaborative meeting features from SfB

[jonasrajanto]

Hi, I'm eagerly awaiting the maturation of Teams from a "collaborative meeting" standpoint.

I'm specifically hoping for these features from SfB to arrive in Teams:

• Full whiteboard available for any participant, regardless of tenant, even for anonymous participants
• Slide share with annotation tools so we can collaborate on top of slides
• In-meeting polling available for any participant, regardless of tenant, even for anonymous participants

As an aside, I'm eagerly awaiting some meeting features that are available on some other platforms:

• Raise Hand functionality to ask for speaking turns
• Thumbs up / down reaction to vote on stuff
• Breakout Rooms to break a large meeting into pair discussions (preferably while still viewing the shared Whiteboard)

These features would make Teams a kickass real-time collaboration platform. 8)

(Teams/SharePoint/O365 is already a kickass real-time collaboration platform - but only for established Teams. It does not lend itself well to one-time workshops with externals or Teams collaboration training sessions with participants from multiple organizations.)
