Teams Real Simple with Pictures – Setting up a Video Channel for the Team

Teams is the collaboration hub for our needs. We can chat, we can share files and we can create wiki's to share our knowledge to the Team. Another way we can collaborate is with video. As a Microsoft Certified Trainer, I can add sites such as Pluralsight and Udemy as Web Tabs within the Team, but I can also build video channels with my own content and make this easily available. Creating channels are also effective in scenarios such as introductory videos, meetings and if I saw a great video on a site like YouTube, but don't want the team members to go specifically to that site. It's all about bringing the rich content to them.

Teams @ #MSInspire – All the Links to all the Sessions

I am off to Vegas on Friday - second time lucky to go to #MSInspire! As you may have guessed most of the sessions I will be attending will be on Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft 365: Messaging Administrator Certification Transition (MS-202) Exam Prep Guide

Mail is in the genes of the organisation I work for. To this day it still has one of the largest Hosted Exchange platforms in the country and some of the very best Exchange engineers in the business. I find these Exchange engineers - meaning those dedicated to Exchange management on a day to day basis, some of the most deeply passionate people I have met in all of IT. They love what they do - absolutely mad for it. I encourage anyone to talk to them about DAG's or SMTP Configuration, or TNEF, or Delegate Permissions, or Mailbox Protocols, or SmartHost integration, or Replay Queues, or RAID, or Jetstress or least cost routing paths.

Question Time: Where do you stand on these new Teams features?

We all love Microsoft Teams. Day in and day out, you'll see us evangelising it on social. On forums such as the Tech Community we help others with enquiries and issues. We run user groups. We write blogs. We speak at events. We vote and create uservoices. We ask all the questions we can think of at that time on the community AMA's.
