WHAT My Microsoft Teams client on Windows 10 looked like this last night. I rebooted, applied updates, cleared browser cache, crashed the app. Nothing I did would fix it. I went to bed thinking maybe something was down and it would be fine in the morning. Nope. Woke up today and no change. I then …

So Microsoft Teams “Private Channels” is pretty much here. From what I can tell, it means that we might create less teams going forward, but ultimately then more SharePoint Sites. That’s cool (okay, maybe not cool but fine…). But the fact remains, with more SharePoint sites, how the heck do we get around and find …

I’ve been on a bit of a quest lately to help rip Outlook (the software … you know, 2016, etc.) out of users hands. It is what they know and think they need … but they don’t, and it is inferior. Outlook on the Web is where all the action is happening, no OST, less …

Hey friends. I was searching for the right word to describe where I’m at these days as I reflect on the summer. I’m writing this at a Brown’s Social House in Nanaimo (softball tourney this weekend). And it came to me. “Re-Bourne” … And if there is to be a movie, Matt Damon needs to …

They can’t. So stop that train of thought… 🙂 Microsoft Teams DOES allow you to …

I had a play today with Microsoft Search. In this video, I provide a very quick demonstration of adding the “Microsoft Search in Bing” extension for Chrome (and can be added to Edge with Chromium) and demonstrate its use for finding stuff in our SharePoint Intranet. I then add some new content (a new Bookmark) …

This is my deck for a presentation I delivered in May 2019 showing how we use a smart phone (Camera), Microsoft Teams and custom made Vistaprint Post-It Notes to ensure a smooth and seamless client invoice, to payment, to bank account, to marked as paid process – end to end regardless of whom might be …

The following slide deck was presented at the Victoria, BC Office 365 User Group in May 2019 to demonstrate how itgroove utilizes Microsoft Teams, Flow, SharePoint and our SaaS product Masthead (www.masthead365.com) to manage and communication change within our office.

In a nutshell, OneDrive for Business is your organizational home drive (personal files storage for users within your business). But it’s also much more than that. There are lots of intros to OneDrive for Business out there but the product keeps evolving and improving and as such, when I was asked to put together an …
