Celebrating 10 Years as a Microsoft MVP!

Back from my vacation, I am thrilled to share that I have been awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award for the 10th consecutive year. In addition to being recognized as an expert within Teams, I am have also been recognized as an expert with Microsoft Copilot. This means a lot to me.  Being an MVP has been an incredibly rewarding journey, both personally and professionally. It has provided me with countless opportunities to grow, learn, and connect with like-minded professionals who share a passion for technology and innovation.  The award is not just a title; it's a testament to the hard work, dedication, and contributions to the tech community. It's a privilege to be part of such an esteemed group of individuals who share the same love for technology, and sharing their knowledge about it.  As I reflect on the past decade, I am thankful for the experiences and knowledge I've gained. This recognition motivates me to continue sharing my expertise, mentor

Welcoming a new colleague in Teams Notifications

A new notification option will start rolling out next month. According to the news posted in the admin center, roadmap feature 57455 will be rolling out in December. It is a new way to recognize new members to Teams, but also another notification setting we need to train users to control if that's what they like. This feature will be on by default, and there are to my knowledge nothing admins have to do or consider. But update your internal documentation and training if you have them.
You will find these settings under the usual notifications section in Teams settings, and your options are as "usual" "Banner and feed", "Show only in feed" and "off".
