This feature will be turned on by default, and admins can manage the feature through the Teams Admin Center. 3. Microsoft Stream: Interactivity analytics πŸ’— A new feature in Microsoft Stream provides audience engagement metrics on interactive videos. Users with edit access to a Stream video that contains links, polls, or callouts will be able to see the number of unique viewers, the percentage of viewers who interacted with the video, and the average number of interactions and attention time. This feature helps video owners understand what content is most engaging. To read more about these updates and explore the full list of news, you can click on the links provided for each news item.
