How are we supposed to get the links from this format?

Microsoft Places Question: Are there plans on the roadmap to add presence automation via WiFi SSIDs? I know in Cisco Jabber, they did automatic presence based on the WiFi you're connected to. It would make it easier to have more accurate status updates. For example, not everyone remembers to set it to if they're in office, so it would auto update if they come to the office!
EDIT: We aren't a MTR shop at this time so the automatic presence from those types of devices isn't possible for my org.

So many businesses are enforcing back to the office. Would be interesting to see how many people can use Places.
- TodayDee72Copper Contributor
We have 20 buildings with multiple floors that are IN HOUSE locations. It will be excellent for us.

That's what I was going for, to much multi-tasking at that exact moment! Thanks jimr381 !

Thank you presenting and coordination team for sharing and responding quickly to the tech challenges! I wanted to quickly share the YouTube link - it’s playing back best when I open in YouTube. :)

I think someone else has commented similar but this new way of joining the monthly call does not work for us in the UK. I won't be joining the calls in 2025 which is disappointing. The uploaded recording of the session on Lists cut out 20 minutes in. Can a new copy of the recording be uploaded? Our heavily restricted work machines pick this content up as restricted and it is blocked. We can't be the only global organisation who have strict and robust security protocols and policies in place :(. The event is set to restricted mode. Audio continually drops when Tiffany is talking. Such a shame as when this was in Teams it worked brilliantly. I am currently joined via my personal laptop (only way I can join) and am still on my work machine.
Organisation I work for will not be turning off restricted mode. Any idea why this style of call is being picked up as Restricted?

Have I missed some rationale to why we moved the M365 Champion calls out of M365 and into YouTube? This UI is so unintuative, we can't use PowerPoint Live links and have to refresh the page to see new comments
- JoshPowerCoopBrass Contributor
Thanks for addressing the feedback on the stream Tiffany. I instinctually went to give you a thumbs up reaction!
I appreciate the desire for openness, but could we not just share the Teams recording on YouTube after the event? The reactions, chat with other engaged users (the act of signing up is a good indication of engagement), and simplicity of getting on live with you all is missed with this new format. I feel distant - JoshPowerCoopBrass Contributor
I want to throw some heart reactions up too an I can't!

I still can't access it. It says Video Unavailable and that the Video is Restricted. I really wanted to join this event, but after wonky registration and 8 attempts to join, I've missed 18 minutes and I am done.

Sorry to hear that JosefinaK - the video will remain on this page now and can be viewed after the event as well.
- JosefinaKCopper Contributor
That won't help me as it is restricted for me. I used to be able to join these meetings without issue.
- Liz_DuffieldCopper Contributor
Agree with others joinng the call is abit frustrating. I was unable to view the video content when I clicked on the link before. Could the outputs be shared as was keen to catch up on the Ignite annoucements as a summary.
