Microsoft Teams update could make work life easier, but could also increase stress levels

Microsoft Teams users will soon have an easier time managing their multitude of chats, thanks to an upcoming update from the video conferencing giant. The new feature, known as “compact chat list,” aims to provide a tidier and less overwhelming experience for users.

The update, currently in development and set to launch in June 2023, will introduce a chat density setting that allows users to condense their chat list and have more chats visible on their screen. This will be achieved by hiding message previews and allocating more space for the chats themselves. While this change will benefit users who want to keep track of all their conversations, it may pose a challenge for those who rely on message previews to quickly assess the content before opening a chat.
