Each month on the Microsoft 365 Blog<\/a>, we highlight key updates to Microsoft 365 that build on our vision for the modern workplace. This month, we introduced a number of new capabilities to help individuals produce accessible content, work together in real-time, and create a secure and compliant workplace.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at what we brought to Microsoft 365 in May.<\/p>\n

Create accessible content in Office 365<\/strong>\u2014We enhanced the Accessibility Checker<\/a> to streamline the process of creating quality content that is accessible to people with disabilities. Now, the Accessibility Checker identifies an expanded range of issues within a document, including low-contrast text that is difficult to read because the font color is too similar to the background color. The checker also includes a recommended action menu and utilizes AI to make intelligent suggestions for improvements\u2014like suggesting a description for an image\u2014making it easier to fix flagged issues from within your workflow.<\/p>\n

Work in mixed reality with SharePoint<\/strong>\u2014This month, we unveiled SharePoint spaces<\/a>\u2014immersive, mixed reality experiences built on SharePoint\u2014which enable you to interact with and explore content in new ways. Now, Microsoft 365 subscribers can work with 3D models, 360-degree videos, panoramic images, organizational charts, visualizations, and any information on your intranet to create immersive mixed reality experiences. SharePoint spaces make it easy to create virtual environments with point-and-click simplicity to help viewers digest information that might be too numerous or too complex to experience in the real world or in a two-dimensional environment.<\/p>\n
