Every customer and partner is now focused on the new realities of hybrid work\u2014enabling people to work from anywhere, at any time, and on any device.<\/p><p>Developers are at the heart of this transformation, and at Microsoft, we\u2019ve seen evidence of this in the apps you\u2019ve built on top of the Microsoft Cloud. Today, we\u2019re sharing new capabilities and tooling for Microsoft 365 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-teams\/group-chat-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Teams<\/a> that will empower developers to build solutions for the new way of work.<\/p><h2>A new class of apps designed for hybrid work: collaborative apps<\/h2><p>Hybrid, global work requires structural changes to how we build and interact with apps. We need a new class of apps that are centered around collaboration versus individual productivity. Apps that enable synchronous and asynchronous modes of collaboration with real-time meetings, ad hoc messaging, document collaboration, and the business processes automation\u2014all in a single organizing layer.<\/p><p>Microsoft Teams was built with the very purpose of enabling collaboration. With over 145 million people using Teams every day, Teams has become the digital platform for work and learning. This creates a net new creative and economic opportunity for developers to build the next generation of apps where collaboration is at the core. We call this new class of applications <em>collaborative apps<\/em>.<\/p><p>With collaborative apps, end users can easily work with others to complete their projects at any time, from anywhere, and stay in the flow of work without needing to switch across multiple apps and data. And with Fluid components, end-users can create live, collaborative experiences that can be edited in real-time and shared across Teams and Office apps.<\/p><p>For developers, we want to make building collaborative apps easy:\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>Use your existing skills<\/strong>: Easily integrate your existing apps solutions with Teams and use standard web technologies, JavaScript, and just a few Teams APIs to integrate into Teams messages, channels, and meetings quickly and easily. Hundreds of independent software vendors (ISVs) like Service Now, Workday, Adobe, SAP, and more are doing this on our platform today.<\/li><li><strong>Simplify development<\/strong>: When you build an app for Teams, it works across many platforms\u2014Windows, macOS, Web, iOS, Android, and Linux. Our goal is to significantly reduce the learning and work for developers to create the next wave of apps. Build once, deploy anywhere.<\/li><li><strong>Support developer choice<\/strong>: Microsoft Cloud offers a full stack of technologies to build collaborative apps. For developers building a new app, you can pick and choose technologies across Power Platform, Azure, Graph, and more based on your needs.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-za\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Collab-Apps-Image-05.24.21.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1056\" height=\"778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-za\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Collab-Apps-Image-05.24.21.png\" alt=\"Visual showing the collaborative apps framework\" class=\"wp-image-229780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/neutralized\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Collab-Apps-Image-05.24.21.png 1056w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/neutralized\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Collab-Apps-Image-05.24.21-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/neutralized\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Collab-Apps-Image-05.24.21-1024x754.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/neutralized\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/Collab-Apps-Image-05.24.21-768x566.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1056px) 100vw, 1056px\"><\/img><\/a><\/figure><\/div><p>Learn more about our vision of collaborative apps built on the Microsoft Cloud at our <a href=\"https:\/\/mybuild.microsoft.com\/sessions\/cc59edb2-5b9b-44f3-b72c-00b6a201192d?source=sessions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">technical keynote session led by Jeff Teper<\/a> and at the <a href=\"https:\/\/mybuild.microsoft.com\/sessions\/1c424246-f216-4c03-97ce-4bdce97fd75f?source=sessions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Into Focus session with Rajesh Jha<\/a>.<\/p><h2>Build collaborative apps with Microsoft Teams<\/h2><p>To further help you build collaborative apps, we are sharing new integration opportunities and enhanced developer tools for the organizing layer, Teams.<\/p><h3>Create apps for meetings enabling richer experiences<\/h3><p>Providing a first-rate experience to every meeting participant, whether remote or in person, is important.

Some of the key updates include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Down\u2013level support to Windows 10 version 1809<\/strong> provides a large addressable market in the Windows ecosystem and is a long-term servicing branch.<\/li><li><strong>.NET 5 support<\/strong> helps meet developers where they are, including WPF and WinForms.<\/li><li><strong>WinUI 3 and WebView 2<\/strong> support modern, compatible UI development using the same technologies Windows is built around.<\/li><\/ul><p>Learn more and <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/microsoft\/ProjectReunion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start modernizing your Windows apps with the Project Reunion 0.8 preview<\/a>.<\/p><p>We know that many developers use command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). With Windows Terminal, developers receive a beautiful, sleek, modern command-line experience in Windows\u2014and this year, we\u2019re excited to share that it can now be set as the default terminal emulator, enabling all command-line apps to launch via Windows Terminal. We also released a new\u00a0feature called Quake mode\u00a0that allows\u00a0you\u00a0to open\u00a0a\u00a0new terminal\u00a0window\u00a0with a\u00a0simple\u00a0keyboard shortcut from anywhere in\u00a0Windows.<\/p><p>Get started with <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Microsoft\/Terminal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new features in Windows Terminal<\/a>.<\/p><p>You can also receive GUI app support on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) so that all the tools and workflows are seamlessly at your fingertips.

In the month after Ignite, where we announced Power Automate Desktop was available at no additional cost for Windows 10 users, we saw a six times month-over-month increase in downloads. Which is a testament to the untapped opportunity no-code RPA offers to help customers automate repetitive tasks and workflows. Today, we are making it even easier to prioritize the processes best suited for automation. <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/2021BuildPowerAutomate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Process advisor<\/strong><\/a>, <strong>now generally available<\/strong>, is a process mining capability that provides insights into how people work and takes the guesswork out of automation. You can now map workflow tasks, discover organizational bottlenecks, and identify which time-consuming tasks are best suited for automation\u2014all from within Microsoft Power Automate.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/2021BuildPowerAutomate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about Power Automate Desktop and process advisor<\/a>.<\/p><h2>Learn.
