What’s new in Microsoft Teams – the Enterprise Connect feature round up

Philippe Tschumi no announcements yet on the on-prem numbers assigned via DR but stay tuned.

Joe McGowan personal calendar - we were getting a lot of feedback on the experience - let us know how it works for you.

Calum Steen Too legit to Quit? :-)

Deleted good point, change made.

Phil Lyle checking on that - good catch on the language used for Chrome feature. Catch my note below on "coming soon".

Philipp_Kohn thank you - we are excited to bring such a often requested feature (private channels) out to our customers.

Shaun Jennings - TY - yes, it was quite the discussion here at MS Marketing HQ :-) - for good reasons we worry about long blogs getting read.

ChrisHoardMVP thanks - very insightful. we think of EC now more then ever as our "Spring" moment and Ignite as a Fall Moment.

Cian Allner - Teams says "thank you for the birthday wishes :-) 

A couple of you have remarked on the phrase "Coming Soon" and I thought I might comment. While it does not solve your ask I hope understanding why we do something might at least make waiting a little better . Our official public roadmap is the primary truth for feature availability. And yet at a couple of "moments" during the year we stretch our usual conservative nature around date sharing and try to further inform. Its a bit risky of course - because we truly feel bad when we reference some form of a public date and then have to roll back on it.  For me its feels a little like forgetting that special gift my son asked for and realizing I cannot deliver for his birthday. 

Coming soon is a term to signal we cannot commit to specific timing but feel its sooner then later AND we are so excited about it we just have to share something. Private Channels has been asked for and we know its a big deal. Normally I write about voice but I will ask my colleagues to consider a blog on it when we get closer to the GA date with more details.

thanks everyone for your enthusiasm!
