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

Webinar updates for Teams webinars.

 

Webinar meeting settings are getting an update with two new settings for the lobby. These are "Allow registered users to bypass" and "Reject users who cannot bypass the lobby". Both options are only available for Webinars. These options have been rolling out for some time already, and should be available for all by the end of August. This feature is associated with roadmap item 125881


Another welcomed feature for webinars is the new capability to automatically publish a recoding and updating participants with a link to view it. This allows an organizer to pre-approve a meeting to be published after the recording has been completed. There are no technical documents on this yet, but expect this feature to be controlled by the "CsTeamsEventsPolicy" settings. This feature is listed as roadmap item 123052. According to the message center, this should be rolling out starting in September
