Business value

During a repair or inspection, a Dynamics 365 Guides operator might want to refer to an image or PDF file related to the asset they’re working on or the task they’re completing. For example, they might want to place a wiring diagram in the space next to the asset. During a video call, a remote collaborator will be able to share a file to help the operator better understand what the asset should look like after it's successfully repaired. Anyone on the call will be able to annotate the file, just as they would annotate a physical object in the operator’s space. File sharing saves time because the operator doesn’t have to switch to a different app or device to view a file.

Feature details

HoloLens users will be able to access OneDrive files at any time. They won’t need to be on a call to access files and place them in the workspace.

To view their OneDrive file directory, the HoloLens user will select the Files tab or use a voice command. When they select a file, it will pop up as a new window in the space.

When they’re on a video call, remote collaborators will be able to see an image or PDF file when it’s in the HoloLens user’s view. Remote collaborators will also be able to send files through Microsoft Teams chat. The HoloLens user can then open and save the file.
