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

Security enhancements in Microsoft Teams

Collaboration Security for Microsoft Teams was announced back in March, but we are now seeing some of these features being released to customers subscribing to Microsoft Defender Plan 2.

Report suspicious chats or channels was one of these new features, and it should be rolling out during August. The feature is enabled by a new policy setting which is turned on by default. Admins can control this setting in the "messaging policies" in the Teams admin center.

Other features controlled by new policy settings are "URL blocking" and "ZAP protection".
