Re: Outlook group calendar linking with teams channel?
The process above no longer works so I'm "unsolving" this request. It's a common one that is on the backlog. First a new calendar experience that allows you to see multiple calendars like Outlook and then items like this. I've wanted this myself for a long time. It will get there but I do not yet have a date.NEW: Wave 2 updates to Adoption.microsoft.com/Copilt

Via LI Thread... It would be great to provide some clarity on where to have a defacto subscription directly with OpenAI or with CoPilot. We had a similar issue at our corporate enterprise where we decided not to go ahead with CoPilot as the licensing was confusing and stalled since our CICD ecosystem is Azure DevOps and not Github; this caused much confusion for many months in the early days, where the MS sales team pushed hard on CoPilot but could not deliver on its promise for Corporate Enterprises wanting to leverage the licensing model on Azure DevOps. The same issues may apply here with other platforms, such as Windows. We love CoPilot and had a successful trial. However, APAC hired +37 staff for presales and got smashed with volumes - by the time they got their ducks in a row, all the FY24 plans for our enterprise were done, so it was parked by our data engineering team.

Teams engineering has had this in the backlog for some time. Please comment or continue to upvote this item so it continues to bubble up in the monthly reviews. The left nav solution from Kelly only sorta works and is sadly unreliable. You often will end up at only your own calendar, not the group one.

HelloBenTeoh is right that Rishi is working on updates. We are planning to release them in the fall. The app also needs an update so I might pause on the application part. The overall framework is really helpful, especially for other champions looking for a way to explain, "what tool when".Re: Is anyone using Viva Goals already?
Well I have comments as a user because we are using this on my team for OKR tracking. I do like the interface. It's been easy to train people on. It's more about (like any tool) how you organize the teams and OKR's so that they roll up to each other but I do like the Viva Goals adoption content as well. You can see more of that content plus roll out tools here toward the bottom of the page: https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/Re: Power Pages
Power Pages is for external websites that may (or may not) be connected to a datasource at a company like customer records, services, known issues libraries etc. The product is still in preview with customers but I think the best place to get more info is in their community which you can find here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Power-Pages-Community/ct-p/MPPCommunityRe: Ideas to get all internal Digital Champions together
Great thread... I wanted to add that when I ran the internal User Group at Microsoft monthly we always tried to highlight "new" features (whether new or not) based on a business scenario that people in the Champion team could relate too. Too often we train on the "tech" without connecting it to the business. So we'd highlight "How to Run a Marketing Campaign" or "Communicating your Wins with SharePoint News" and then provide some handouts. As the leader of the group it was my teams responsibility to figure this stuff out but we had help by asking each of the Champions to present things they'd learned. That helped us keep it fresh, gave people speaking experience and built trust among the members so they would speak up more readily. Another thing is that there is no substitute for setting a good example in how you use the tech yourself. If you aren't using Whiteboard, PowerPoint Live, Video embeds or SharePoint News - start now. Also lots of first party apps to embed in Teams like Forms and Polls to "show by doing" Lastly, if you are in person - never underestimate the power of FOOD or SWAG at a meeting. Even something inexpensive like stickers is great. Worked for me every time 🙂 Good luck and tell us how it went!
