- Holly LehmanIron ContributorStay tuned for updates to our Modern Collaboration Architecture documentation that helps with the What Tool When conversation in our Champions community and at https://aka.ms/MOCA
- A best practice for communicating: Help users break away from Outlook - show how Outlook and Teams are better together, how they integrate Share from Outlook to Teams, Share from post to Outlook, etc.)
- Raphael_KoellnerLearn Expert@heather How do you think about the option to add OWA as a Website TAP or as a App to Teams?
- A best practice for team notetaking - use the notebook that comes with the team, create sections that match the channel names and pin each section as the default for the same named channel.
- Frédérique HarmszeBrass ContributorWe do that, make sections corresponding to the channels, Unfortunately, the default does not/did not always work in the Teams tab. But even so, the sections are helpful in the OneNote notebook associated with the Team...
- Dewayne HyattBrass ContributorI can't wait for the Wiki to get "OneNoted". That will make meeting notes much more accessible and useful!
- tony-derricottGold ContributorIs that really happening or just wishful thinking?
- Holly LehmanIron ContributorMake sure we answered your question, if we haven't yet given you the answer you want, please reshare!
- Raphael_KoellnerLearn ExpertHow do you like to use Microsoft Teams Mesh to drive Adoption in a virtual Meeting first strategy?
Raphael_Koellner, I think the greatest thing Mesh in Teams will bring is spatial audio. We will be able to have multiple conversations, without passing around the talking stick.
Today in meetings, one person talks. Everyone else listens. That's good for some discussions. But imagine virtual breakouts... in the same room. Move to a corner of the immersive space and have a discussion with 2 or 3 people. Then roam to another group.
Come back together to hear the next activity.
I'm looking forward to seeing this in action, in Teams.
- Dewayne HyattBrass ContributorI can't wait to run some virtual conferences in the Metaverse. We've been using Teams for our "Virtual Venue as a Service" offering at the university and we've had several successful conferences with it. This will take it to a pretty crazy level and I'm excited to try it.
- Holly LehmanIron ContributorAMA Friends, with 10 minutes until session close, as your top of mind questions!
- sideone42Copper Contributorcan teams public preview be enabled on a per user basis?
- Yes, you can assign a Teams policy via Teams Admin Center or use the setting "follow the Office update channel" (also available via Teams Admin Center). This can be assigned to single users. With the Teams policy the user can choose to join, with the "follow" option the will follow what ever your current Office update channel plan is.
- Dewayne HyattBrass ContributorYes it can! The Teams client now follows your Office update channel, so if you put a client system into preview then Teams *should* follow!

- mrpauldredgeBrass ContributorYes, you can create multiple update policies - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/public-preview-doc-updates#:~:text=Microsoft%20Teams%20Public%20Preview%201%20Set%20the%20Update,Office%20Preview%20users.%20...%204%20Known%20Issues.%20

Some other fun facts to consider:
The Microsoft Tech Community Team actually use some of the features mentioned, specifically we have a closed community where folks outside of the administration team control who is in the closed community and at a high level, it works like this:
- Internal User Requests a Teams Adaptive card to capture a user ID from users who are not admins
- That user id is passed to Power Automate
- Power Automate then calls our API and grants that user ID access to a private community
- The API tells Power Automate if it was successful
- Power Automate tell the Adaptive Teams card and the result is shown to the user
This way we can delivery the power to make changes closer to where it's needed without compromising the security of a much more sophisticated system or giving users access to things they do not need for 95% of their working day.
