Business value

Getting expert help on a plant floor or in a training environment is usually costly and time consuming. Experts may not be available because they’re in a different location or in a different time zone. Field technicians can solve problems faster if they can receive instructions and visual guidance in context during a call with an expert. Extending support to Microsoft Teams desktop for the Mac makes it easier for experts to use their device of choice when assisting the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist user.

Feature details

Remote experts on Microsoft Teams desktop for the Mac will be able to annotate the space of a field technician who is using the Dynamics 365 Remote Assist HoloLens app or mobile app. The remote expert will be able to draw on the user’s space or add arrows. For example, the expert could point to parts that may be difficult or dangerous to reach, or the expert could explain complex details to help the technician solve the problem quickly.
