Shalen··on I’m deaf, and this is what happens when I get on a Zoom call
Hi GEBBL, I'm the Principal Lead Program Manager behind live captions in Microsoft Teams. My team and I envisioned live captions for meetings and delivered in Microsoft Teams worldwide in Dec'19. We had built it to improve inclusivity because we saw a rise in remote meetings (we couldn't have predicted COVID). We are super glad and grateful to hear that live captions have been extremely helpful and useful to you. Thank you for choosing us. Please don't hesitate to share any further feedback or comments. Regards, Shalendra

Hi tarr,

Mobile - we've recognized the need for a mobile app so it's on the future roadmap

Clipping UI - we have heard mostly positive feedback on the rectangular clipping box. You could also use your mouse wheel to select desired portion of the page to clip. Of course, this feature is not very discoverable (yet) but it does make it very easy to clip.

Your points on enhancing readability for text clips and light box are spot on. We have heard similar feedback in usability study and we will see what we can do to address it while maintaining overall consistency and design of our product.

Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Jenn, today, you can share and collaborate on your private or public clips with your friends by typing “@” in the annotation box and completing on their username. The shared clips will then appear in the "Shared" tab for both of you. I agree with your feedback overall. We do intend to make group collaboration easier and intuitive in the upcoming product roadmap. Thanks for sharing.

Clipboard is more than just a bookmarking service. You can clip and save individual parts of the web pages including text, pictures, videos, flash applications and even bookmark. You can also create public or private clip collections for interesting topics using hashtags. For example, clipboard.com/tag/jquery lists all public clips tagged as #jquery. clipboard.com/Mati/jquery lists all public clips by user Mati tagged as #jquery.

Both are good UX suggestions and we will consider them. Thank you!
Shalen··on Mark Zuckerberg married
Congrats Zuck and Priscilla!

I don't understand some of the materialistic comments (prenups etc.) on this thread. Zuck marrying his long time love is a beautiful blessing. PG, I'd met Zuck after you had invited him to your startup school 2007 and since then have interacted with him. He also kept his word on followups he'd announced during his talk then. He is such a humble person despite all his successes. I'm so happy for him.
