We are excited to announce a Microsoft 365 Insider AMA on Thursday, May 25th at 9:00 AM Pacific time!
Join us as our experts explain how the Microsoft Insider 365 program works, talk about the benefits are of being an Insider, and give you tips about deploying Insider builds. If you're already a Microsoft 365 Insider, this is your opportunity to ask questions about recently released features and provide feedback on your experience.
A little background on the Microsoft 365 Insider program: This program provides early access to subscription features and updates in Microsoft 365, giving you an exclusive opportunity to use and provide feedback on our latest innovations. Your feedback goes directly to our product teams and helps make Microsoft 365 even better for users across the globe.

- oiversonBrass ContributorSharepoint Web Pages seem VERY wonky and just generally "not that smooth". It always takes several seconds to get the gear Icon to finally load so I can get to Site Content. Images sometimes just don't load. From Site Content, if I browse into ""Site Pages" can I go "up one level"? No. I have to use the back button. It's LIKE a file browser, but not quite. Almost.
- jdrchBrass ContributorFWIW if your SharePoint is based on a Teams team, you can add a shortcut to the files in OneDrive and then browse from File Explorer instead. Much faster than going through a browser.
- oiversonBrass ContributorWe've built our intranet around Communication sites in Sharepoint, so no go there. We built context pages around training videos, so direct access to the files by users is undesirable. We've also seen frequent bugs in OneDrive regarding saving PDF annotations so we've discouraged users from using OneDrive when working with PDFs in the field.

Can Stream on Sharepoint be made to automatically read Chapters in .mov files? Chapters are supported in the MOV container (and many others per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_container_formats) and apps like VLC have no problem reading them. It would make life a LOT nicer if they came along for the ride upon upload!
- EricBBDOIron ContributorI spent about 2 weeks trying to get a few videos to be shown in a specific order, it's not possible. Sharepoint and Teams both have no way to control content layout and both do their best to automate content obfuscation. They're the opposite of a means to present information in a curated and meaningful way.

When are the collaborative calling features coming which were announced two years ago?

Hi Christian, I believe the announcement was made in October 2020 and you can check this article to see if those features are available in your region. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/calling-plan-overview
and here's another article that might help you as well: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/create-a-phone-system-call-queue?tabs=general-info , along with a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlXo37lSz8k
Thanks!
- chriswagnerBrass ContributorYes, but unfortunately most of this important features are nowhere available. In the feedback portal are multiple request for this feature wich was announced in 2020 as you said: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/cad91ec6-523b-ed11-a81b-000d3a7dd504
- EmielStroeveCopper ContributorSustainability begins with (in our case) the employee. He/she needs to be aware of Sustainability and the need for reducing our carbon/waste/resources footprint. Changing behaviour is the most difficult aspect. But I have an idea to start doing that by using the tools and data already present. Suppose you use Sustainability manager to gather all needed data for the carbon footprint (and more). Today Sustainability manager is focussed on corporate level, but what if MS adds employee level. For the sake of the idea, lets do the privacy discussion later. So we have Carbon footprint data (including M365 usage translated to carbon) and present that in an extra menu option in Viva Insight so the employee can become aware of their carbon/waste/resource footprint. And there's more. You could also make this actionable to the employee, by zooming in on reduction actions (less travel, other travel, delete data, attach a link etc etc etc). And please integrate Emissions Manager in Sustainability Manager 😉
- jannygCopper ContributorAre there anything on the roadmap to support work/business accounts for password manager in Authenticator?
- NarggBrass ContributorDoesn't it already do this?
- DanEngelsmeierBrass Contributor
It does but only for consumer Microsoft accounts right now. So, I think the OP wants to know when work/school accounts will be able to be used for password storage/management.
