Chat

Microsoft Teams Chat was limited to the Dev Channel even though it had been around for a few versions. The functionality is now stable enough to be available in the Beta Channel, starting with build 22000.132.

You can use the capability to make voice and video calls to individuals or groups. Meetings can be created and joined. The microphone and camera can be turned on or off. You can select your favorite camera, microphone, and speakers. You are able to share your screen. You can talk, check people’s videos in a gallery view, change meeting settings, and see the list of participants. You can also accept meeting participants from the lobby.

Snipping Tool

Along with many other upgraded built-in apps, Windows 11 build 22000.132 also includes a new version of the Snipping Tool. Both the Snipping Tool and the Snip & Sketch programs have been replaced with a new Snipping Tool in this edition. The new software includes a fresh, contemporary UI that incorporates the greatest features from Snip & Sketch, while maintaining the same look as the legacy edition.

To further personalize the experience, the app has a new Settings page.

With the Windows key + Shift + Skeyboard shortcut, you may launch the application and access the snipping menu, which includes Rectangular Snip, Freeform Snip, Windows Snip, and Fullscreen Snip.

Calculator

There will also be an update for the Calculator app. With softened corners and new materials, the updated version, which was developed in C#, has a new appearance that adheres to Microsoft’s new design language.

In this version, the business has concentrated on making the software user-friendly for both the standard calculator and the robust scientific calculator.

Additionally, Programmer Mode provides extensive capability that is necessary for engineering and programming. In order to help identify important graph elements, such as the x- and y-intercepts, plot one or more equations in graphing mode. Additionally, you may now convert between over 100 other currencies and units.

  • Start:

    You may not be able to enter text when using Search from Start or the Taskbar. System and Windows Terminal are missing when right-clicking on the Start button.

  • Taskbar:

    It will sometimes flicker when switching input methods.

  • Search:

    After clicking the Search icon on the Taskbar, the Search panel may not open. The Search panel might appear black and not display any content below the search box. On pen-enabled devices, apps may not launch from the Search panel.

  • Settings:

    Certain searches using the search box in Settings may crash Settings.

  • Widgets:

    The board may appear empty. Widgets may appear in the wrong size on external monitors.

  • Windows Sandbox:

    The language input switcher does not launch after clicking the switcher icon on the Taskbar. The IME context menu does not launch after clicking the IME icon in the Taskbar.

  • Localization:

    There is an issue where some testers may be missing translations from their user experience for a small subset of languages.

  • Chat from Microsoft Teams:

    Experience is localized for English (US) only. When you make an outgoing call, the user interface shows that the call is getting connected while you do not hear a ring tone. In a video call, sometimes people s videos freeze or display a black image. Also, when switching between calls, the previous call is not automatically put on hold, so audio and video streams continue on both calls.
