Community ManagerYes It's Real! The Champions Community Call will be on October 17th
Hello O365 Champions!
We have resolved our technical difficulties and returned from Ignite and we have so much great stuff for you! Our Champion's call will proceed at both 8am and 5pm on Oc...
Really looking forward to it, especially the preview of the Adoption Guide.
Thank you so much for hosting the call and sharing these wonderful resources with us. I'm so excited to be a part of this community.
I was reading through some of the comments and recognized that it will be difficult to schedule these calls at a time that meets the needs of everyone's schedule and time zones. With competing priorities, I'd love to be able to consume this content, but if it is going to be one-way discussion, it may be more efficient to consume it through on-demand video as opposed to a scheduled call. This would give us all access to the content at the same time, leveling the field for those in different time zones and allowing viewers to focus on the content at a convenient and quiet time.
Hope you don't mind this suggestion, would love to hear anyone else's thoughts!
Hi Peter Mcdermott. I think the current delivery method is the best of both worlds. Those who can make the live call can ask questions in the Q&A panel. The facilitator and moderators answer them during and at the conclusion of the session. Karuana_Gatimu_MSFT fit her content to 45min and left time for answering questions. I'm sure it was much easier for her using the Q&A panel than filtering through the IM window of a Skype call (ignoring all the unrelated chatter.)
For those who can't make the call, the recording and slides will be shared in the 'Champions Corner', further enriched by the questions asked in the live session. We will all receive the slides at the same time. I don't envisage any content will have limitations such as limited sign-ups or exclusivity to those who join the live call.
The main challenge will be for those watching the recording to put the time in your calendar and discipline yourself to watch it, as if you were attending the meeting live. So often we try to multi-task and treat it like a podcast, missing important concepts and talking points. When we treat reviewing a meeting recording like a live meeting and give it the attention it deserves, we benefit from planned content and Q&A inspired discussion too.
