When looking at the Microsoft Teams roadmap some surprises are good – some quite the opposite.
What are Shared Channels? This new feature will make it possible to work with other people in a channel by invited an internal or external (in other organizations) members to a Shared Channel. The really big thing is that externals don’t have to switch tenants or to be added with a guest account! This feature is being released under name Microsoft Teams Connect.
It will make collaboration with customers, partners, vendors or in community easier than before – especially on those cases when you need only one channel with chat and files. It can be said that Shared Channels will revolutionize collaboration between organizations.
When Shared Channels was announced at Microsoft Ignite Spring 2021 it was stated to come out in summer 2021. This is no longer the case – roadmap has been recently updated to November 2021.

Microsoft Teams is the main portal for Microsoft's Metaverse, allowing to create new business models and processes connecting people, applications, data and files with the help of digital fabric AI. Immersive Metaverse and meetings enable new ways how to meet, work, collaborate and share experiences together. Microsoft Mesh for Teams will enable everyone to participate - with PC/mobile or with Mixed Reality devices such as HoloLens. This story is start beginning and I am guiding you and your organization on the road.
I am extremely passionate about Metaverse and how it - with Microsoft Teams - enable to change how people work together now and in the future.
Microsoft Mesh, Microsoft Loop, Microsoft Viva, Microsoft Graph, Azure and other pillars of the Microsoft Cloud are building blocks to Metaverse.
