Microsoft has announced a new tool for Windows 11 users, enhancing the functionality of the taskbar. Called "Microsoft 365 Companions," this feature will integrate contact, file access, and calendar widgets directly into the taskbar.
Microsoft hasn't revealed full details but has shown a screenshot of the interface, which resembles the Phone Link app. The new tool is expected to provide quick access to contacts, calendar events, and recently opened or favorite files.
It's unclear whether Microsoft 365 Companions will be open to third-party developers. The release date for the stable version of Windows 11 is also unknown, but it's likely to arrive sometime in 2025.
