That red Motorola ThinkPhone button just got even more useful

What you need to know

• Microsoft and Motorola have teamed up to bring even more Microsoft business-class features to the ThinkPhone with the August update.
• The red side key can now be used as a push-to-talk button in Microsoft Teams, allowing instant communication via Microsoft’s business chat platform.
• Users can now stream Windows 365 straight to their ThinkPhone and mirror it to a larger display using Moto Connect.

Motorola’s business-focused ThinkPhone is getting a bunch of great new updates thanks to an even stronger partnership between Motorola and Microsoft. ThinkPhone users can now assign even more functions to that red side key, and Microsoft 365 is providing more opportunities to work from everywhere through the ThinkPhone.

As I pointed out in my Motorola ThinkPhone review, Motorola did a great job of integrating the phone with PCs, but there was still room to grow. Now, we’re seeing that growth happening, beginning with a strengthened Microsoft 365 partnership that lets ThinkPhone users use that red side key as a walkie-talkie in Microsoft Teams.
