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

Pop-out meetings in Teams to be gradually rolled out

The already announced feature of popping out meetings to a separate window have received some updates. The feature itself will be rolling out, beginning early June. But it will not be on for all by default. Once it becomes available for your tenant, there will be a new setting available for the user (kind of "opt-in"). These settings are available by clicking your avatar on the top menu, and select "settings". It seems like this will only be a temporary setting, and will be a default for all by the end of August.

This is the timeline posted in the admin center:
  • June – New experiences are available and users can enable through settings.
  • July – Experiences are enabled by default and users can disable through settings.
  • August – Experiences are enabled by default and user controls are no longer available.
