Teaching MS365 and need 'fake' users
Hi I have MS365 Business Standard licence, with an email for myself. I don't need to add anyone to be able to use any features at all. email or Teams (really) but I want to be able to share my screen and be able to have Molly Smith, Fred Bloggs and a couple of other people who would appear to be members of my company, so that when training I have individuals and a group of people that I can use for this purpose. Is there any way to do this - their existence would purely be to be able to utilise them when showing examples (let's say as an example, Teams Rooms) where not having 'actual people' to show how you use that feature, would make it very hard to demonstrate? I guess I could add an external user with a generic external email, as a Guest, and use them that way but I wasn't sure if this would limit the features etc that I would be able to use them for (and thus limit what feature demos I could use them in). Hope that makes sense.Solved6.1KViews0likes10Comments- 5.1KViews0likes0Comments

Fantastic info Teresa, thank you SO much. I'll enjoy reading properly and going through a testing out of it to get familiar with how it works in practice; it sounds like an ideal way to set things up to get the trainer/learner perspectives. I think this will negate the need to set passwords for all the users but thank you for also including the best way to go about that if it is needed. Yes, a lot of things are just too difficult aren't they! I've certainly utilised in private / main browser of choice / chrome and utilising the Teams mobile app in the past all to be able to work in different accounts to enable being able to work in some kind of sensible way as modern working requires. Love Microsoft but often get v frustrated with things that seem to be just soooo much more difficult than they need to be.5.1KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Teaching MS365 and need 'fake' users
Thanks yes I did indeed. Is this the correct place to ask ongoing questions or is there a better destination? For instance, I wanted to understand, how do I capture views of how it looks (let's say) for someone receiving a Teams chat message - I can easily so how I capture my own side of that action, but how do I switch it round to show what it looks like for the other person receiving the message? Do I have to stop, log out, log in as the recipient I used to send the message, every time or is there a better way to do it? Many thanks. Also, I cannot see where I can set the password for all my users to be the same so I can actually log in and out. Guidance I found seemed to say I should go back to the subscription page but I cannot figure out where that is.5.2KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Teaching MS365 and need 'fake' users
This sounds great! Would never have known about this. I got 80% of the way through but it won't accept me on the E5 subscription saying 'Sandbox provisioning is currently disabled due to a technical issue, please try again in a few days'. However, is there a cost associated with the E5 licence? I'm not a developer but it sounds like the sandbox area would be really helpful not only for Teams but for the other MS365 apps as well. Thank you!5.9KViews0likes8Comments
