I literally shot myself in the foot with not knowing the difference between Bookings/My Bookings and Virtual Appointments. An executive for one the largest asset managers in the world unexpectedly replied to a linkedin invite I sent to him. he said he would give me 30 minutes of his time. I wanted to impress with a private booking page for him and the invitation link looked like it was fortran code. His reply "Frankly you’re spreading your pain to me - I took the time to share my availability, that’s the max I’m willing to do here. Good luck"
I learned a valuable lesson. I am not using ANY of the new features on 365 externally until I go thru all of the manuals from the help pages. I saving the pages and downloading the pdfs. Why download? The hyperlink hell of the online manuals are endless.
I will say this........Teams is getting better each day.
Testing some of the features yesterday really impressed me. The avatar feature is a must have. I thought it was cheesy at the announcement but it is really good.
If you have the time to setup Loop then DO IT! Holy Smokes is it good.
Teams really needs Webex's custom URL private meeting room feature. Rather than having to set up a meeting, you have a static custom URL (e.g. contoso.webex.com/FirstName_LastName) you share with folks. When they join via the URL, you get a notification (or email) that they've joined and are waiting for you.
That said, Teams' integration with Outlook is much better than Webex's (for obvious reasons).
