SharePoint: Inline playback of videos in Hero web part
- Roadmap ID: 93351
- June 2022
Like Viva Topics, the focus is to keep you in the flow of work - aka, not taking you to a page or site beyond where you were already engaged. When you create a Communication site, the Hero web part is included on your page by default. It is pre-populated with default content that you change to display your own images, text, pages, links, documents, or videos.
Control vertical section reflow
- Roadmap ID: 93243
- June 2022
Currently the vertical section in pages goes to the bottom of the page when viewed on smaller screens. We’re adding the ability for page authors to control this reflow and choose whether the vertical section goes to the top or bottom of the screen when the screen is condensed to a smaller size.
Updated site logo management in SharePoint
- Roadmap ID: 93231

We're centralizing the management of your site logo. To update or manage your site logo, you will now exclusively visit the Header panel under the 'Change the Look' settings. Site owners will be able to navigate to the 'Header' panel from the 'Change the Look' settings, and then scroll to the bottom of the panel where the site logo options will be located.

People will be able to rename a shortcut within their OneDrive. You can rename the shortcut by selecting the shortcut and clicking the "Rename" command in the command bar or the context menu.

Teams chat with self
- Roadmap ID: 88066

All the same chat functionality that works when chatting with others will work for the individual chatting with themselves.
