14 DAY TRIAL // The most recent Windows 11 preview build comes with a new widget that provides Microsoft 365 users with access to the content they might find useful.
The new widget experience bundled with Windows 11 makes it easier to get certain information, such as news, weather data, and calendar appointments, with a single click on the taskbar.
Microsoft, however, has promised to further polish the experience with widgets, and this week, the Redmond-based software giant rolled out a new widget specifically aimed at Microsoft 365 users.
As one would expect, the Microsoft 365 widget provides easy access to things like documents, news, and meeting recordings, and once, the company has promised to bring even more content to this widget in the upcoming updates.
Windows 11 due this year
“We’re introducing the new Microsoft 365 Widget! This widget brings relevant documents, news and meeting recordings (with more to come!) to enterprise users. This widget will only be available if you are signed in with your AAD account on your PC running Windows 11. In a time when information overload is a major concern for most workers, this personalized list will help users stay on top of their work and find the information they need with ease. To check it out just open widgets and click the “Add Widgets” button and select the Microsoft 365 Widget. We hope you love it!” Microsoft says.
The Windows 11 widgets are an evolution of the news and interests experience, and Microsoft is betting big on this feature in the long term.
Windows 11 is projected to see the daylight for production devices later this year, and there’s a chance this new Microsoft 365 widget will be available on day one.
The company still has nearly a month to polish the experience with these widgets, as Windows 11 is scheduled to be signed off at some point in September.
