Celebrating 10 Years as a Microsoft MVP!

on
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

Spotlight an individual video participant for all attendees in a Teams meeting

I think I missed this message in the Admin Center, but it has already been rolled out to our company's production tenant. This is a feature allowing you to set the spotlight on a video feed, and making sure this is "pinned" for all attendees. 

In Skype for Business, I believe this was called pinning a video. but pinning in Teams is a single user's ability's to lock on one of the participants. The spotlight feature will lock the feed for everyone. 

Right click on any feed and select "spotlight" in order to focus on that user. You can also easily identify if you have been spotlighted by the header message.
