When this will happen:

Standard Release: Microsoft will begin rolling out mid-July (previously mid-June) and expect to complete by late August (previously late June).

How this will affect your organization:

Collaborative Stageview is a new type of Teams window that allows users to engage with content and conversation, side-by-side. For apps that have built their experience for Collab Stage, it allows users to:

– Open their content from eligible adaptive cards directly into a new Teams window

– Engage with their app content in a large Teams canvas

– Continue the conversation from which they came, within the Collaborative Stageview side panel
