Windows 11’s Taskbar Gets a Share Button for Teams The Windows 10 taskbar has always been a bit of a mystery. You can’t add any buttons to it, and the only way to share tasks between teams is by using the OneDrive app. But in Windows 11, Microsoft has added a share button to the taskbar, which makes it much easier to share tasks between teams. To use the share button, you first need to create a new team and add members. Then open the OneDrive app and select the team you want to share tasks with. Once you have selected members for your team, you can click on the “Share” button at the top of the taskbar. TheShare dialog will appear, and you will be able to select how many people will be able to access your shared task. You can also choose whether or not to save your changes after sharing.
You can quickly share the content from open app windows directly from your taskbar to your Microsoft Teams meeting with the new feature. This comes shortly after Microsoft added a mute button to the taskbar that works in Teams, so it seems that Microsoft is focused on making its meeting app an integral part of the Windows 11 experience.
In a blog post, Microsoft describes the new feature:
It won’t just be Microsoft Teams that recevies this feature, though. The company said, “Other communications applications can also add this capability to their applications.” That means that if Zoom or Google Meet chooses to add support for this feature, it’ll work there as well.
Currently, Microsoft is rolling the new feature out gradually, so you may not see it on your computer even if you’re a member of the Windows 11 Insider program. If you don’t have it yet, you’ll have to wait a little longer for it to roll out to you. The company also didn’t say when it would come to the release version of Windows 11.
