Because the meeting notes in this particular example are live and real-time, you can even copy them to an app like OneNote and still see everyone making edits to them. “We want the collaboration to be able to start before the meeting starts, so as soon as the invitation goes out,” explains Ron Pessner, a director of program management who works on Fluid at Microsoft. When you add a task, it is immediately synchronized with your other tasks in Microsoft 365 and the meeting notes are automatically synchronized with your Outlook calendar, where you can also edit them in real time. Notes are displayed in a Teams meeting or in an Outlook calendar and everyone on the invitation can just start typing in real time. While Fluid seemed like a great forward-looking concept during its unveiling 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 note-taking experience that is collaborative. What Microsoft has created with Fluid is the biggest change to Office in decades. “So we’ve put a lot of our energy largely on Teams and we see Teams as the scaffolding that creates the connection, but as we move back to hybrid, we increasingly believe that we need more innovation in what I call the canvas that gets collaboration done.” “We were excited to go 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 the return of employees to their offices and the emergence of a new hybrid work experience. Microsoft’s Fluid components roam around in multiple apps. They will appear first in Microsoft Teams this summer, embeddable in meetings and chats.
Instead of tables, charts and lists that are static and tied to specific documents, Fluid components are collaborative modules that exist across 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 and showed how the framework lets blocks of Office content live independently on the Internet. The biggest change to Microsoft’s Office documents in decades will soon come to life, as the company’s Fluid framework arrives in Microsoft Teams, OneNote, Outlook and Whiteboard. The biggest change to Office in decades begins to roll out
