Microsoft Teams Android App Video Sharing Not Working
Im a Lecturer at a School who uses my Samsung Tablet for my Lectures Because or Covid19 prevention i.e wfh. Unfortunately we are required to use MS Teams only for said Lectures. To my utter surprise, having a lot of expectations for "Logical" computer company like microsoft, the Video Share option for MS Teams App on my Samsung is not working. I have a video saved on my one drive and I also uploaded a video on the MS Teams Team Files and Channel. After joining/starting the meeting, I immediately clicked on the Share Icon(Box with Arrow Up) and then clicked on Share Video option. It would then take me to window with 3 options on the bottom of the window namely: Files, Photo, Video. The Video Option is actually Sharing your video through your phone or Tablet Camera. Obviously theres no use for that in my lecture. Which leaves us with the File option, of course expecting that we can access our local android files or One Drive files. I click on the files option then it only gave me with 2 folder options. These are Onedrive and Teams and Channels. When I went into those folders, i cannot access any videos at all. Microsoft What the hell? Really? So I tried to find an alternative. I figured maybe I can use Share screen and play the video from my Tablet instead. I wasnt able to do it from my gallery, I have to use VLC. The video played but with no Audio. I mean again Microsoft what the hell? Really? For a company that creates computer, which you would expect to be logical, this is very disappointing. Why the hell can we not just play a freakien video when you created that freaken option? Why? Why? Why? Does anyone here know any work around this?Microsoft Teams in Education tips and guides

Parental Controls over children in distance education during the Pandemic
With the pandemic, my children are doing distance education through Teams. The problem is they necessarily have access to the internet while they are supposed in class. I need to be able to shut off/limit their access to the rest of the internet during class time. Any thoughts?
Cant find Class Materials folder anywhere
Hi All, When having a class team there is usually a class material folder which is locked to members by being read only. I have checked in the recycle bin and even the secondary one but nothing. we haven't even been back from the summer holidays for me to get it into secondary recycle bin if I did delete it by mistake. I think it actually didn't create it when the team was made. How do I recreate this folder? Can I simply make a read only folder in the Sharepoint library for this team? Please help!
Teachers Directed to Create New Links Every Friday
At our latest Educational Technologist Meeting for Seattle Public Schools teachers were advised to create new Teams meeting links for their classes every Friday because the links degrade. Is this correct? I myself have six meetings per day with various groups of students which I personally invite through their school email. I also invite their parent emails because they are first graders and the parents are actually the ones managing calendars. I'm imagining the work load increase for teachers and confusion for families if we cancel and recreate class meetings each Friday. Doesn't seem right. It was noted in the meeting that the things happening below with "old links" also happen with brand new links. Thoughts? Is this guidance accurate? Do meeting links need to be replaced each week? TEAMS meeting links need to be replaced often. The district recommends a new TEAMS link every week. Apparently, depending on how much data you use (in the chat, sharing your screen, etc.), your link with denigrate over time. The more you use, the faster it denigrates. This will result in the following types of events: kids locked in a lobby that you can’t see, unable to admit students, kids repeatedly kicked out, etc.,. You might get more time out of your link, but they recommend weekly updates.Teams Guide for Students and Parents: How-to Guide for Attending Virtual Class Meetings

Hi there, I am Outreach Officer for Plymouth Marjon University (UK) and my role is to give information and guidance to students about their future studies, oppurtunities and provide with attainment raising activities. We have moved everything online to include working with students. I am trying to organise event for students who would apply from multiple of schools and colleges aged 15-16. We would much rather use MS Teams (instead of LIVE) as we want to talk and have virtual interactions via discussions, quizzes, games and breakout rooms. We are aiming to deliver this across multiple days (multiple meetings). We do have however some concerns about safeguarding, we would need to have following controls in place for this to proceed; 1. Students must not see other participants surnames - is this something that can be restricted in Information Barriers? Or can students surnames simply be typed as initial in Active Directory? E.g. Adam Smith would be Adam S ? 2. Student interacting with other students during of after meeting - I have read that there are https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/information-barriers?view=o365-worldwide - would those apply to a specific meeting or a team? To make those IBs work, would you suggest creating a team with all of those students or would simply having MS Teams meeting invitations work? "Information barriers applies to Microsoft Teams (chats and channels), SharePoint Online and OneDrive. In Microsoft Teams, information barrier policies determine and prevent the following kinds of unauthorized communications: Searching for a user Adding a member to a team Starting a chat session with someone Starting a group chat Inviting someone to join a meeting Sharing a screen Placing a call Sharing a file with another user Access to file through sharing link" Is there anything else anyone would suggest to create safe learning enviroment, or anyone that has been working with students to share any best practice? Much appriciated Maciej
