Summary

Instead, the company is positioning the feature as a way to use technology to aid frontline workers.In a blog post on Wednesday, Emma Williams, corporate VP of modern work transformation at Microsoft, announced that the walkie-talkie ability in Teams is now available "on all iOS mobile devices, such as iPhones and iPads, in addition to Android mobile devices."Williams also said the feature will come to some Zebra Technologies devices, such as rugged phones or scanning devices. Bringing Walkie Talkie for Teams to mobile devices seeks to address challenges frontline workers face due to labor shortages and supply chain issues by providing "technology that saves them time, helps them communicate more seamlessly, and maximizes their efficiency when completing repetitive tasks," Williams wrote.The walkie-talkie feature is one way for Microsoft to differentiate Teams in a workplace filled with competing apps, like Slack and Zoom, by highlighting rapid and on-the-go voice communication.
