Microsoft Teams Assignments and SharePoint Documents
SharePoint and Assignments You probably know that documents that students upload to Assignments are stored in SharePoint. You can open that location in SharePoint Online, by going to the Files tab of the relevant team and choosing "Open in SharePoint". You then need to navigate to Site Contents and Student Work. You will see there are two folders: Submitted files and Working files. In each of these is a folder for every learner and in every learner folder is a folder per assignment. Syncing What I do, is I sync the Student Work folder to my device. It then appears as a folder structure in my File Explorer. I have the choice to either leave the documents in the cloud or make them available on my device. The difference between Submitted files and Working files is that when a student uploads a document to an Assignment, it goes into the Working files folder. The learner can still open it (in Teams Assignments or in SharePoint) and make changes. Once the student has clicked on the Turn In button, it is copied to the Submitted files folder and no longer allows any changes. User Scenario The User Scenario where this can be beneficial is as follows: Students can upload their documents to the Assignment even while it is a work in progress. During that time both the learner and the teacher can have access to the file and basically 'collaborate' on the document. This allows a teacher to make ongoing comments to the document to provide formative feedback. When the student is ready to submit he/she Turns In the document. Even after submission the teacher can still make comments on the document and the student can still open it and view the comments, but can no longer make changes. I have a research project that learners work on for the duration of the school year. They need ongoing input to keep them on the right track. I'm going to use the method I have outlined above to provide them with that feedback.
Disconnect Microsoft Teams calendar from Outlook calendar
I work with a group of 170 students and recently began using the calendar feature as a way to publish events for the group. Some of these events are applicable to all members. Some events are applicable to some members. I am now seeing all of these events on my outlook calendar, and I am sure our group is too. Is there a way to disconnect this Teams calendar from Outlook calendars?School Data Sync (Plan 1) service plan what is it?
This morning a new tile showed up in the portal of all our users. I checked the enabled serviceplans for my users and I noticed "School Data Sync (Plan 1)" was enabled for my Office 365 education plus license. I disabled the serviceplan for all my users, because I don't know what is does. I like to test new feature before making it available for all our users. I have read about school data sync before, it's about syncing data from a SIS tot O365. But what is the tile going to do? I haven't seen any communication about releasing this specific service plan and also the MS service desk couldn't give more info then the one available online from january when SDS became GA. Does anyone kwno what the tile is going to do as soon it's finished setting up?
Delay while screen sharing in Microsoft teams
Hi, while I am taking lecture and sharing my screen to student at that time if I move to the next slide or if I make annotation to the slide there is a delay in students screen. voice and visualization is not synced. So, is there any solution for this when I make annotation at the same time it should reflect on my students screen without any delay.H5P Interactive Content Teams Integration
H5P has wonderful HTML5 interactive objects that bring delight to any digital content creating teacher's heart. With many educators committing to Ms Teams for blended learning delivery, the challenge is how can one bring this content into Ms Teams? Now for some good news/bad news. Microsoft has just announced that it is now possible to embed H5P interactive content right into OneNote. Unfortunately, this is only possible using content which is hosted on H5P.com (related to H5P.org) which is a paid SaaS (Software as a Service) platform. The yearly amount is not trivial (starting at $570 for three authors) and for many would be a hurdle too high. However, there is a way to integrate H5P content hosted on your own WordPress or Drupal (CMS) H5P enabled site, with Ms Teams. A word of caution here: I'm not referring to WordPress sites that are hosted on WordPress.com. I'm referring to WordPress installations that are hosted by Web hosting companies such as Bluehost. You may already have such a site or you could sign up to a web hosting company and create one. The cost will be much less than $570 per annum. The way to integrate self hosted H5P content is to embed it on a SharePoint page as an Embed web part. There are a couple of settings that you need to change to make this to work. The best (and easiest) explanation I have found for making these settings is by Greg at the SharePoint Maven. I also changed the "Allow custom scripts" setting for my tenant. See my post here. Obviously this approach is based on the SharePoint integration with Ms Teams, where you can then add your SharePoint pages as tabs to your Teams channels. The upshot of all this is that it is possible to integrate the wonderful interactive content from H5P with Ms Teams!
Problems with custom audio setup on teams.
I have been using teams for my school for the past 3 months. Until recently I used to have a custom setup for my audio devices where I would use my Bluetooth Boat Airdopes 441 as the output and my Headset Microphone (plugged in through the 3.5 mm jack) as the input. However since a week this setup has stopped working. The moment I do this setup, I stop hearing the meeting. The only way my earphones work is when both the Audio input and output are from the headphones. However when I use my speaker as the output, it works perfectly. (Refer Screenshot). I am on Windows 11 and using teams for work and school version. Also this setup works perfectly on Discord and Zoom so there isn't a problem with the headphones or the microphone.Play Restricted Video Game at School

OVS-ES vs Microsoft 365 E3
Hello, We're taking the opportunity during these strange times to review our licensing agreements and decide whether we would be better off changing things around. However, I'm having trouble understanding exactly what is included in the Microsoft 365 E3 package. The details state that it includes Windows 10 and Server CALs, but does that mean that we could safely cancel our existing OVS-ES agreement and switch to licensing directly from Microsoft? In doing so, we would gain lots of management capabilities using InTune (and Endpoint Manager), but the cost would be so high that it will only work if we can offset it against not renewing our OVS-ES agreement. We already have Office 365 ProPlus included with our Office 365 A1 package, and recently switched to licensing Office using the shared computer activation feature, thereby foregoing our entitlement to Office 2019 ProPlus from the OVS-ES agreement. (There's a strange link here anyway.. I feel like we only get O365 ProPlus installation rights through O365 because of the OVS-ES agreement, though we would keep this benefit if switching to M365 E3 anyway so this seems elementary to me.) Why is MS Licensing so convoluted?! (Probably out of necessity, I know.. just makes it hard to properly compare options!)
