Inclusive video conferencing is important for virtual meetings. Ever get asked for an opinion but not be able to contribute because you couldn’t find the unmute button in time? You can now quickly unmute (or mute) straight from the taskbar while in a Teams call. You can also keep the background in the background by blurring it and applying noise cancellation, making it easier to meet while in a busy or noisy environment. 

Share a window while in a meeting, straight from your taskbar, so everyone can see what you’re talking about. Windows 11 includes APIs to allow collaboration tools, such as Microsoft Teams, to tightly integrate with the user experience. To share a window when in a Microsoft Teams meeting or on a call, simply select the open window and choose Share. 

Widgets are available on your taskbar to provide a personalized feed that can include weather, calendar, stock prices, news, and more. Learn more about widgets! 

Multiple desktops let you open different apps depending on what you’re doing. For example, you can create a Travel desktop that includes websites and apps focused on travel. Learn more about multiple desktops! 

The most secure Windows yet, Windows 11 has new built-in security technologies that add protection from the chip to the cloud, while enabling productivity and new experiences. Key security features, like hardware-based isolation, encryption, and malware prevention are turned on by default.
