11th MVP Award Rewarded

I am actually on vacation, but as I sit here under the summer sun, toes in the pool and a cold drink within reach, I have been waiting for that email confirming that I’ve been awarded my 11th Microsoft MVP Award! As last year, I am being awarded in both the Teams and Copilot category. To say I’m humbled would be an understatement.

In case you missed it: Loop components in Teams chat

When writing a one on one chat or a group chat, just select the loop component you want to incorporate from the menu. At the time of this post, it's not possible to add components to channels, but this should be in the works.

A clever eye will notice that Loop components in a chat is stored as a file in the chat, and you don't need the Teams client to access the file. As long as you have the link (and access rights) you can access it through any web browser.

You can read all bout the feature in this post, and check out which Loop component controls an admins can change.
