Microsoft today said that it's shaking up online Teams video meetings with a new "Together mode" that places participants in a virtual auditorium. It's all part of a redesigned Teams experience that capitalizes on some of the promises Microsoft has been making for years.

About 60 percent of those Microsoft surveyed said they felt less connected to their colleagues due to the coronavirus, so Microsoft's new Teams update tries to make nonverbal communication a priority. Several features play into this aspect of the Teams revamp, including chat bubbles, an updated way to "raise you hand" during meetings, and even live reactions.

With all this talk about updates to Minecraft's Java, Windows and Pocket Edition versions, what about the consoles, currently missing a slew of coveted PC version features? Microsoft just unveiled a trove of new elements -- some long-awaited, others bolt-from-the-blue -- designed to shore up the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the company's freeform builder in late December. Dubbed the "Holiday Update" (and, as usual, free to existing owners), it'll bring the elusive Elytra glider to the game (think capes that let you "fly"). Better still, console owners will get a formerly Java exclusive feature dubbed "Amplified Terrain" that'll let players rejigger a world's hundreds of thousands (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U) on up to tens of millions (PS4, Xbox One) of blocks, to create topographical extremities sure to impress any virtual alpinist. Microsoft says the update includes new mobs, items and status effects, as well as user interface, game and tutorial changes.
