i like how youtube recommended this after my teacher announced that were using MS teams (yesterday)

6tttchik:

Consider my mind BLOWN!!! I am an EA that has worked in C-Suites and retired 2 years ago. The last international company I was working for was just implementing Teams so it was not as dynamic as it is now. What an incredible tool! I certainly hope my former colleagues have received training for all these amazing tips.

K. C:

Wow! I just was saying that I needed a video on this!

Tyler Stanczak:

I needed this. Super helpful tips. Thanks Kevin! :)

Mariam Tabatadze:

Thank you so much! <3

A Patterson:

Kevin, we teachers are truly indebted to you. You have no idea how much you help us. I tell all of my colleagues about your channel.

Kingsway 101:

Perfect for all my online classes I have during corona now

Frederik Van Crombrugge:

Every day a video with quality content... best informative channel on YT.
I've already learned a lot from your videos, thanks! You're doing a great job!

Jill Clement:

Just wanted to let you know that your channel is awesome. I work for a very large organization and we have a dedicated team that supports MS Teams, but I find your videos to be more helpful than most of the training they’ve put out. Keep up the great work!

Lauri Robinson:

Love the ability to post a message to a Channel from Outlook email. Especially since we get the full selection of highlight colors, etc. from Mail which we don't get if we post directly in the Channel's Posts area. Woohoo! Thank you for this.

G H:

Been working hard on my teams knowledge. Only 2 new bits of info for me here! Great video

pAtAZ de león:

OMG I love this guys channel and this video, now I know what I'm gonna do when my French teacher doesn't keep quiet HAHAH

Roy Evans:

Billy Hill:

civil documents:

Thanks Kevin, it's really helpful to control the meeting with students

FWM4Ever:

Great video! I’ve so many tips that I’m going to use in Teams

SimplyShyrell:

Thank you again!! Extremely informative. Thorough, step by step information.

Asha Erler:

Thanks for the close caption! I love everything that adds accessibility!

Lenka Novotná:

This was just great! Thanks so much for sharing the tips!!!

Greg Dennler:

Kevin-
My team of 20, in 4 different countries, all watched this video together on MS Teams :)
Thank you! Will check out more

alaskaX6:

great material Kevin. You made my another day useful by sharing these tips!👌

3moirai:

Great set of tips! Can you do one on searching in Teams for files, chats, etc.

Uttam Shukla:

One useful feature in a meeting is.. the names of people who are speaking appears in bold font in the participant list.. this comes handy when someone with noisy background forgets to mute .. you can scroll through the list and look at bold names to identify the lines with audio coming in and mute if needed. (You can also look at mute icon... but sometimes people may be using mute function from their headset or external audio device instead of using mute function of Teams, and muting them in Teams may cause confusion as they may not be able to unmute as they expected to later). It will be very useful if Teams could sort the participant list according to last speaking so that we can always see the latest speaking (or noisy lines) people names on top.

Jennifer Robbins:

Awesome. I am a huge Teams nerd so I love all these tips & tricks to help our team work better!

Philippa Coldham:

I love these videos! They are so helpful. I'm hoping there will be one on Top Tips and Tricks for SharePoint :)

Izabel Barros:

It would be great to figure out how to divide people in teams and bring them back to a call... tried many tips, but always cumbersome...

L. Sharp:

How do you delete a chat? Love your videos. Its so helpful!

Francisco R:

Fantastic content! Thanks as usual!

Hoosier Fan:

Great stuff!
I will definitely try and incorporate some of these and try to help mev get organized

greenteaneil:

MS TEAMS PLEASE make it possible to identify which participants in a meeting mute others. Just as there can be a notification in files to see who has edited a file that isn't view only, there can be a notification that states that John has muted Jane real time. It is A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE to have to go to meeting options every time to change who can present / mute etc. This setting should be readily available when one is scheduling one's classes for the entire week. TEAMS SHOULD BE MORE USER FRIENDLY. We a paying you A LOT of MONEY!

Gilbert Olivier:

Tag is nice to use, it a other tip for me. Nice video

Deb Frederick:

great stuff!

Norma Cadwell:

I am learning so much from you!!!!

Don Ackerman:

This is a fabulous summary of features. Solid help! Thank you!

Erik Steiner:

Great video!! How about an in-meeting timer?

kc733:

When will you talk to us about the new break out rooms for Teams?

canusdominici:

Thanks Kevin. I always appreciate your work and ideas, I’m always learning. Of course v neck t shirts are the way to go!

Lydia Lewis:

Thank you sooooo much for updating us on these new features it was really helpful.

Lakshman Valasala:

14:20 seeing Hyderbad Flagship. Looks amazing to see Indian place from a foreigner. Anyway, I am from Hyderabad.

Tati.Ashok kumar:

Stupendous. Loved it

Chris Lewis:

Do we know when the ability to superimpose my camera image on top of a presentation (or other screenshare) will arrive?

M.A Tejesh _war:

4th big fan of you sir love your videos a lot👍👍

Sobia Makhdoom:

It's really helpful. Being a KI on Teams for the last 9 months, I think I found it quite late. Though some features are not working on our version, I was really excited about the attendee's list and transcript, I do not have access to them.

Anirban Pal:

Hey Kevin, I'm a big fan of your video tutorials. They are beautifully made and very crisp. I was wondering if you could make a video on some of the best 3rd party apps within teams especially related to education and student assessment. It would be a big help, thanks.

Fady Barsoum:

The transcript is a record of what was written in the chat during the meeting, correct? Not what was "said" verbally/orally. Can the Captions be recorded and downloaded? If yes, this can be super helpful for recording meeting minutes!

Shoua Fakhouri:

Thank you Kevin, this presentation is useful.

CMC5961:

Mari_the_queen:

I think that MS teams is a app for online classes.
I feel like Zoom is just for meetings, but teams has assignments, grades... Teams is just more of a school, and Zoom for meetings

Bij Pattni:

Very useful tips - am trying to get my team at work to use Teams more and these tips will definitely make life easier for them

Da First Lady:

Vatsala Sawanak:

Love from India

Chaanad Gaming:

I used to save messages and it appear in a saved chats - where i edit and add some explanation there. I also pinned the saved messages. But apparently after the update I think, it was gone. I have checked in my Saved, it was also gone. But the saved messages still can be accessed thru mobile.

I need back my saved messages chats. All important notes i did update there :|

LisaGoddard117:

We just had some Teams Training yesterday as we are early adopters in our organisation. Not everything is available to us yet as they are rolling things out in stages but there are pretty cool features. A good one I picked up was how powerful typing / in the search bar at the top of teams is and also how to quickly send a message to multiple people that you contact regularly.
