Microsoft Teams will soon automatically record meetings for you

Microsoft

In case you didn't know, it currently isn't possible to automatically record meetings on Microsoft Teams. But it looks like Microsoft is finally ready to change that. The Teams Engineering team confirmed to a user on the Microsoft Teams forum that they are working on this feature. Funny enough, the request was made even before the pandemic hit, back in September 2018). Three years later, someone from Microsoft's team finally decided to confirm that the feature is coming. 

According to 9to5Mac, this feature will be available for macOS and Windows. And it will always show at the top of the meeting that it is being recorded for safety reasons.

As its competition catches up with the app, Clubhouse knows it has to bring its Android app to the market. During its weekly Townhall event, the company announced that it has begun beta-testing the Android version with a "handful of non-employees." The voice chat app referred to this test as a "rough beta version" being rolled out to "friendly testers." So, that means the general public doesn't get access to the app just yet. The plan is to release it in the "coming weeks."

Clubhouse also announced it would introduce a bell icon for events, so users can get notified about events they've RSVP'd to. It's one step for the company to re-engage users who haven't been using the app as much as they were in the past. And creators on the platform can also advertise their events this way.

WhatsApp for iOS introduces a new review tool for voice messages

WhatsApp is currently working on a review tool for voice messages. WABetaInfo discovered the feature, but it isn't available for either beta testers or the public yet. But according to the info the site unearthed, it will allow you to listen to the audio message you recorded before sending it. According to WABetainfo, "this new feature (currently under development) will add a new Review button that you can easily tap to listen to the voice message." After tapping Review, you get the option of sending the message or discarding it.

At the moment, it's tricky to review audio messages, sometimes requiring you to record your audio on another app while you record it on WhatsApp to check for any issues.
