In this article, we will talk about the newest Windows 11 Insider Preview Build for the Dev Channel, which is Build 22499. This Build brings some changes and a few fixes to reported issues from the last flight.
Changes and Improvements
- In this new build, we will have the ability to share screen a certain window or app, directly from the taskbar, using the new button placed under the app thumbnail. During a Microsoft Teams meeting, you can simply hover over the app that you want to share and you will see the new button that allows you to share the screen with that application. When you are done sharing your content, hover over the window again and click Stop Sharing or choose another window and click Share this Window.
- Clock app now supports signing in with Microsoft work and school accounts. You will need version 11.2110.32.0 and higher.
- Microsoft is beginning to roll out the “Shipped Windows 11” badges to Insiders in Feedback Hub.
- Also Microsoft is making the ISOs available for Build 22499 to download here.
- Based on feedback, Microsoft is making keyboard focus visuals in Task View and Alt + Tab a little more prominent, so they’re easier to see.
Fixes
