Microsoft is greatly improving its free version of Microsoft Teams on Windows 11. The built-in Teams app will now include support for Microsoft’s communities feature inside Teams, the company’s answer to Facebook and Discord. It’s also getting support for Microsoft Designer, the AI art tool that lets you generate images for things like event invitations or social media posts using text prompts. Microsoft Teams communities originally launched in December for family and friends – or small community groups and businesses – to organise through meetings, calendars, and chat. It’s Microsoft’s answer to what you might find on Facebook or how people use Discord, WhatsApp, Reddit, and many other services for organising groups. The communities feature of Microsoft Teams has been limited to mobile so far, but the expansion allows Windows 11 users to create and manage communities inside Teams. “On Windows 11, community owners can create communities from scratch, share and invite members, create and host events, moderate content with critical trust and safety features, and get notified about all important activities,” explains vice president of Microsoft Teams product.

THE MOTOROLA RAZR PLUS’ NEW COVER SCREEN IS A BIG DEAL

Motorola’s new Razr foldables are official, confirming what we learned from a set of substantial leaks. The Razr Plus (the Razr 40 Ultra internationally) comes with a Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset (the flagship Qualcomm chip from last year), 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 12-megapixel f/1.5 stabilised main camera, and 5W wireless charging. Its outer display is a 3.6-inch OLED with a 144Hz refresh rate covered by Gorilla Glass Victus, and the inner OLED unfolds to a 6.9-inch 1080p panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. There’s a whole lot you can do with the cover screen, too. You’ve got the usual weather and calendar widgets in quick panels optimised for the smaller format, but you can also run almost any app you like on there. The standard 2023 Motorola Razr (Razr 40 internationally) features the same overall size and shape, but with a much smaller cover screen. Its outer screen is a 1.5-inch 60Hz OLED that’s designed for quick info like calendar alerts, texts, and checking the weather. Motorola isn’t giving a price or exact release date for the standard Razr just yet.
