AAKASH VARSHNEY: Hello, everyone, and

play00:12

welcome to Microsoft Build 2024.

play00:16

I am Aakash Varshney,

play00:18

Senior Product Manager at

play00:20

Microsoft Cross Devices and Experiences Team,

play00:23

and I'm here to talk to you about creating

play00:25

seamless cross device experiences with Windows.

play00:29

Let me outline what we will cover in this session.

play00:33

We will talk about why using

play00:36

different devices together matters for our users,

play00:39

what they want, and the problems they encounter.

play00:42

Then we will discuss our solutions to these challenges

play00:45

and how it benefits both our users and you.

play00:48

We will go into the detail about sharing, resuming tasks,

play00:52

and connecting with people across

play00:53

devices and wrap up with some key important points.

play00:56

With that, let's get started.

play01:00

We all use multiple devices in our daily life,

play01:04

be it a smartphone to stay connected on the go

play01:06

or a smartwatch to keep track of our health,

play01:09

get important notifications, or

play01:11

a laptop PC to carry on more intensive and complex tasks,

play01:15

and many other gadgets regularly.

play01:17

Interestingly, on these devices,

play01:20

we use multiple interconnected apps on

play01:23

a daily basis to carry on

play01:24

even the most smallest of tasks.

play01:27

But we're constantly seeing a trend where apps and tasks

play01:30

are becoming increasingly isolated

play01:32

within each device we use,

play01:34

especially for our windows users. Think about it.

play01:37

How many times have you wished you could

play01:39

smoothly transition a task across your devices?

play01:42

Maybe as easy as just sending

play01:44

a photo you took on your phone to your PC.

play01:47

The transition today feels

play01:48

clunky and it disrupts your flow.

play01:51

Research even suggests that once the flow is interrupted,

play01:55

it can take up to 23 minutes

play01:57

to regain the same level of focus.

play01:59

Hence, we address the cross device challenge

play02:02

and we envision a collaborative ecosystem.

play02:05

Unlike other systems that confine you within

play02:08

their own environment with Windows,

play02:10

we are committed to fostering an inclusive ecosystem.

play02:13

The goal of this initiative is to

play02:16

assist our users in seamlessly completing

play02:18

their tasks across all the devices they own and help

play02:22

app developers like you get

play02:24

the cross device functions with Windows,

play02:27

which makes it easy and smooth to integrate.

play02:29

Windows has always prided

play02:31

itself on being an inclusive ecosystem,

play02:33

and we're opening an opportunity for you to get on board.

play02:37

On that note, let's dive right into it.

play02:43

Today, we are excited to announce

play02:45

three key areas that will

play02:47

accelerate and open new opportunities,

play02:49

how app interact across device and bridge the gap.

play02:53

First is the Cross Device Share API.

play02:57

With Share API, within a few simple steps,

play02:59

you can integrate the Windows Share API into

play03:02

your app and Windows users will be able

play03:04

to interact share files, pictures,

play03:06

and documents within your app ecosystem across

play03:09

apps and devices from Window Shell experiences,

play03:12

Microsoft apps, and other third party apps.

play03:15

Second, Cross Device Resume API.

play03:18

With Resume API, users would be able to unlock

play03:21

resuming apps on windows

play03:23

right where they left off on the other device.

play03:25

Or you could even nudge users to complete

play03:28

tasks that can be completed more productively,

play03:31

efficiently and joyfully on a bigger screen.

play03:34

Third is the Cross Device People API.

play03:38

People API opens the world where users can

play03:41

discover their favorite and

play03:42

recommended contacts from your app

play03:45

directly on Windows native

play03:47

experiences and communicate with

play03:49

them without wasting any time

play03:50

searching or delaying critical conversations.

play03:53

If that sounds exciting,

play03:54

let's move to the next section.

play03:58

But before getting into the details,

play04:01

let's talk what's in it for you.

play04:03

Forever, app developers,

play04:05

this is going to be a game changer.

play04:07

With Cross Devices,

play04:08

Share, Resume, and People API,

play04:11

app developers can deeply

play04:13

integrate their apps into the windows experiences,

play04:16

and we have made integration with

play04:18

cross device API easy and seamless.

play04:20

These new integrations open doors to millions,

play04:23

even billions of users with telemetry data indicating

play04:26

a significant uptake in

play04:28

app installs and engagement post-integration.

play04:31

Just by leveraging the share contract to API,

play04:33

we saw tremendous growth in WhatsApp's share session,

play04:37

increasing more than 30 percent in less than six months.

play04:41

The increased discovery and increased app installs

play04:44

presents you with a massive opportunity

play04:46

to acquire new users,

play04:48

increase engagement, retention across platforms.

play04:52

This integration is not about feasibility.

play04:55

It's about creating

play04:57

a cohesive experience that users will love,

play05:00

leading to higher retention rates and

play05:01

more frequent interactions with your apps.

play05:04

With WhatsApp, Instagram and Snapchat

play05:06

onboarded on the platform and other apps in the pipeline,

play05:09

we are seeing an increase in usage,

play05:11

engagement, and click through across these apps.

play05:15

Great. Now, let's get into some of

play05:17

the demos and see some of these experiences in action.

play05:23

Let's start with the Cross Device Share API in action.

play05:28

With Cross Device Share API,

play05:30

app developers gain access to

play05:32

the revamped Windows share experience,

play05:35

which allows sharing from Windows Share experiences,

play05:39

that first party Microsoft apps and third party apps,

play05:43

and has a current exposure in

play05:45

hundreds of millions of sessions every month.

play05:48

Let's see that with a demo.

play05:53

Now let's quickly jump into

play05:55

a demo and see how easy it is to share files

play05:58

across your devices with colleagues friends and

play06:00

family. Imagine a scenario.

play06:03

Let's say I'm working on an app for my college project,

play06:07

and while writing code,

play06:09

I encountered an error.

play06:11

I took a screen capture of the error,

play06:14

which I now want to share with

play06:15

my colleagues who's also working with me on this project.

play06:20

As you can see, I can

play06:23

share this image directly from the app,

play06:27

or I could use other Window share services

play06:32

like context menu or File Explorer.

play06:37

Let's say, in this case, I

play06:40

clicked on the File Explorer icon

play06:42

for share and

play06:45

revamped Windows share experience is presented to me,

play06:49

where I can either select

play06:52

my favorite contacts which are recommended to

play06:55

me or nearby share

play06:58

to share directly with the devices which are near to me,

play07:01

or can use an app to share.

play07:05

Since my colleague, As you can see,

play07:10

in her phone Window is

play07:13

using WhatsApp on her surface to a mobile.

play07:16

I'm going to select "WhatsApp" in the share option.

play07:27

As soon as

play07:29

I hit WhatsApp icon,

play07:30

app flow triggers in,

play07:32

where in this case,

play07:34

it is asking me to select

play07:36

the contact to which I want to share this file with.

play07:40

I select my friend and hit "Send."

play07:45

My friend receives the file in

play07:49

real time across devices on her WhatsApp.

play07:52

I also get a notification that the share has

play07:55

been completed. Thank you.

play08:00

Awesome. To make it even

play08:04

easier for our users to discover your app,

play08:06

we have promotion support which

play08:08

supports easy one-click inline install.

play08:11

Let's see that also with a quick demo.

play08:16

Now, let's look into

play08:19

an interesting feature and

play08:20

scenario where users can discover your app,

play08:23

can get the app, and download the app with

play08:26

one click and start using it from the get go.

play08:29

Let's imagine a scenario

play08:31

again where after working on my project,

play08:34

I had a nice vacation with

play08:35

my friends and I took some nice pictures of my holiday,

play08:41

which I have edited on my PC.

play08:44

Now I want to share it with

play08:46

my friends on Instagram and Snapchat.

play08:51

As I did in my previous video,

play08:55

I went to the file explorer,

play08:59

clicked on the image that I

play09:01

want to share or post directly

play09:03

onto the Instagram and hit the Share button.

play09:08

As you can see, I have multiple options here again.

play09:12

I have the apps that are already

play09:14

Instagram I can share with,

play09:16

or I could discover all the apps that are

play09:21

not installed right here

play09:24

from the window share experience.

play09:26

As I said, I want to share with Instagram and Snapchat,

play09:30

so I'm going to download these apps directly from here.

play09:33

Let me click on Instagram.

play09:35

As soon as I click the Instagram icon,

play09:39

which also has an install queue for me,

play09:41

the installation from the MS Store gets started.

play09:44

The installation is quick so that I don't have to

play09:48

wait for a longer duration to get the app.

play09:52

Now you see that I also

play09:55

got notification that the app is ready for me to use.

play09:59

I could click on launch and start using it.

play10:02

Here, you can see that

play10:05

if the user doesn't have the apps already installed,

play10:07

user can discover the app

play10:09

that supports share and click on

play10:11

it to install it as I did with Snapchat again,

play10:15

and Snapchat is now also installed.

play10:19

Also, while the installation is in progress,

play10:23

user can click on the icon

play10:25

and will be redirected to MS Store page,

play10:28

where users can choose to pass the installation.

play10:31

Now, since both the apps are installed,

play10:33

I can choose to share with them. Thank you.

play10:36

Great. To be

play10:40

part of these great experiences, all you,

play10:42

as an app developer need to do is to integrate with

play10:45

the share API and your app will appear

play10:47

right there for users to seamlessly use your app.

play10:50

The integration is easy,

play10:51

which requires a few easy steps.

play10:54

You can learn more about the integration by visiting

play10:56

the Microsoft Learn website or connecting with us.

play10:59

We have provided the details to

play11:01

reach us directly at the end of this session.

play11:03

Do stay with us as we move on to

play11:04

the next exciting section on Cross Device Resume.

play11:08

Awesome. Now, let's imagine

play11:12

your users start a task on your phone, in your app,

play11:16

like drafting a message,

play11:17

started listening to a song or started a task,

play11:20

and then wants to connect it or continue it on the PC.

play11:24

With Cross Device Resume API,

play11:26

your app on the PC will prompt

play11:29

the user in the Taskbar to continue the task on Windows,

play11:33

which the user is currently working on the Mobile app.

play11:36

Here's how it works.

play11:38

When both devices,

play11:40

PC and Mobile Phones are in proximity,

play11:42

a little badge will pop up on your app icon,

play11:45

letting the user know the task is from their phone.

play11:48

Once they click on it,

play11:49

your app on PC opens up and

play11:52

the exact task that they were working

play11:54

on is right there on their PC screen.

play11:57

Windows can now natively help with this whole process,

play12:01

making it seamless for users.

play12:02

Let's see that with a demo.

play12:06

Now, let's imagine

play12:09

a scenario that after completing my holidays,

play12:11

I'm back, and I'm enjoying

play12:13

watching my vacation video on my mobile phone.

play12:15

Soon, my friends join in to watch,

play12:18

but the mobile screen is small.

play12:19

Hence, I unlock my PC

play12:22

and since my phone is nearby in proximity of my PC,

play12:27

I get an instant notification to

play12:29

continue watching the video from my PC

play12:31

right from where I left off

play12:33

with a call to action to launch the app,

play12:35

and I can now enjoy watching the video on

play12:37

a larger screen with my friends.

play12:39

In fact, let's say

play12:42

another scenario where the user

play12:44

completed the activity on mobile phone.

play12:46

With Cross Device Resume,

play12:48

you can also configure your app to notify your user about

play12:53

an activity that can be completed across

play12:55

device on PC with much more productivity and efficiency,

play12:58

and add call to action to

play13:00

launch or get the app. Thank you.

play13:04

Awesome. With that,

play13:06

let's move on to our next section

play13:08

on Cross Device People API.

play13:11

Now, integrating your app with

play13:13

Cross Device People API lets

play13:15

your user chat with a colleague or have

play13:18

a video call with your family or perform a task on

play13:21

Windows instead of switching to

play13:23

phone or searching for a contact on the app.

play13:25

Windows lets the user stay connected with

play13:29

the people they need to talk to right from their PC.

play13:32

With the recent launch of recommended contacts

play13:34

in Windows search box,

play13:36

it's even easier to reach out

play13:38

to the context important for the user.

play13:40

Now, when the user clicks on the Windows search box,

play13:42

Windows suggest contacts user

play13:45

communicate with these recommended contacts

play13:54

directly from the results without any extra steps.

play13:57

It's like having your friends,

play13:59

family, and colleagues all in one place,

play14:01

making it easy to reach out and

play14:03

communicate without any extra hassle.

play14:05

This is whether you are discussing

play14:07

a project with your team

play14:09

or catching up with your friends,

play14:10

you can do it all without interrupting

play14:12

your workflow or juggling between devices.

play14:15

Windows becomes your hub for staying

play14:17

connected with the important people in your life,

play14:19

making communication effortless and convenient.

play14:22

Let's see that with a quick demo.

play14:25

Now,

play14:27

let's imagine a scenario

play14:28

that while I was working on my project,

play14:30

I remembered that I had to

play14:31

share a file with my colleague.

play14:33

Hence, I simply go to my Window search box where I

play14:36

can search for her or find her in my recommended section.

play14:40

Click on the contact and choose

play14:42

my preferred mode to connect with her. Thank you.

play14:45

Great. With that,

play14:47

let me highlight some of the key points we discussed.

play14:50

First, the sharing experience on Windows is

play14:53

booming with millions of shares occurring every month,

play14:56

and this trend is only gaining momentum.

play14:59

Now is the perfect time for you to

play15:01

seize this opportunity and integrate with Share.

play15:04

Imagine your users discovering

play15:07

and installing your app right from the Share sheet.

play15:10

By integrating with the Share API,

play15:12

you ensure your app's presence in every share launch,

play15:16

which significantly boosts engagement

play15:18

and drive growth for your app.

play15:20

Second, the seamless Cross Device,

play15:22

task continuation, and

play15:24

proximity-triggered notifications,

play15:26

not only enhance the user experience,

play15:28

but also open up new avenues

play15:30

for interaction and engagement with your app.

play15:33

Lastly, by integrating with Cross Device People API,

play15:37

you're simplifying communication and

play15:39

task completion on Windows for your app.

play15:41

You're empowering your users to

play15:43

stay connected, productive,

play15:45

and engaged across all their device,

play15:48

whether it's chatting, video calling or

play15:51

completing tasks without switching devices.

play15:54

Hence, these experiences on Windows offers

play15:57

a unified ecosystem where users

play15:59

can effortlessly reach important contacts,

play16:02

seamlessly resume app activities,

play16:04

or share without hassle and make

play16:07

sure that your app is discoverable and grows on Windows.
