This living Fluid component has the potential to shift how everyone gets work done across Microsoft Teams and Office. As the meeting notes in this particular example are live and real time, you can even copy them into an app like OneNote and you’ll still see everyone making edits to them. “We want collaboration to be able to start before the meeting starts, so as soon as the invite goes out,” explains Ron Pessner, a director of program management working on Fluid at Microsoft. If you add a task, it immediately syncs to your other tasks across Microsoft 365, and the meeting notes are automatically synced to your Outlook calendar where you can also edit them in real time. Notes will show up within a Teams meeting or in an Outlook calendar, and anyone on the invite can just start typing away in real time.
While Fluid seemed like a great future-facing concept during its reveal last year, watching Microsoft demonstrate it this week has really highlighted how transformative this could be.Įvery Microsoft Teams meeting will soon come with a built-in notes experience that’s collaborative. What Microsoft has created with Fluid is the biggest change to Office in decades. “So we largely put a lot of our energy onto Teams, and we think of Teams as the scaffolding that creates the connection, but now as we move back to hybrid, we increasingly believe we need more innovation in what I call the canvas that gets collaboration done.” “We were excited about going hard and fast with Fluid, and then the pandemic hit,” says Jared Spataro, head of Microsoft 365, in an interview with The Verge. The launch of Fluid documents coincides with employees returning to their offices and the rise of a new hybrid work experience. Microsoft’s Fluid components roam across multiple apps.
They will begin showing up in Microsoft Teams first this summer, embeddable in meetings and chats. Instead of tables, graphs, and lists that are static and bound to specific documents, Fluid components are collaborative modules that exist across different applications. That idea is now becoming a reality, with collaborative content that can be copied, pasted, and shared with others. Microsoft first unveiled Fluid last year, showing how the framework allows blocks of Office content to live independently across the web. The biggest change to Microsoft’s Office documents in decades is coming to life soon, as the company’s Fluid framework arrives in Microsoft Teams, OneNote, Outlook, and Whiteboard.
