Microsoft brings its To-Do app to the Mac

Apple users finally gain access to Microsoft’s To-Do app. It’ll let users work offline, view upcoming tasks under the “My Day” section, see flagged emails, and share to-do lists with others. It doesn’t fully integrate with Microsoft Planner, but we’re expecting that to come soon. This cross syncs with the other iterations of the Microsoft To-Do app on iOS, Android, Windows, and online. The app also syncs with Outlook, so if you rely heavily on the said email client, you might appreciate this addition. To-Do for Mac is available for download on the Mac App Store now.

Skype introduces Content Creator mode for easier audio and video production recording and streaming

Microsoft hopes to help out the content creator community with a new mode it’s introducing to Skype. The app is getting a new Content Creators mode on the desktop for both Windows 10 and Mac users. While the app itself won’t get native call recording, its streamlining integration with existing third-party apps like Wirecast, Xsplit, and Vmix so it’ll be easier to get quality audio and video recordings. These will then be easily exportable for other editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro.

According to Microsoft, this feature will also let streamers broadcast a call live on either YouTube or Twitch. This mode will be launched in full in the coming week and its final release will come out in the fall.
