How to Automatically trigger "Send to OneNote" add-on in Outlook on the Web?
Is it possible to automatically trigger the STO plugin anytime emails are added to a specific folder in Outlook? I'm aware that I can send emails to OneNote without the plugin, but I have yet to find a method that does AS GOOD of a job as it. This is the process I'm working on: email received by specific sender > Rule triggered to move email to sub-folder > Send to OneNote plugin triggered > email printed as new note in target Notebook section > create message in Team channel with link to new Note If someone knows of a good FLOW that can do this, please let me know.
Microsoft 365 Apps SHOULD NOT overwrite Office 2019/2021 one-time retail installs
I want to raise a serious concern about Microsoft 365 Apps being imposed over existing Office 2019/2021 installations that were activated with legitimate one-time installation retail keys. In our case, these are not Microsoft 365 subscriptions and they are not licenses we can simply deactivate and reactivate freely. They are one-time installation retail keys. Once the product has been installed and activated, removing Office and reinstalling it later can make the original key unusable or trigger “already used” activation problems. That is precisely why the current behavior is so damaging. We have PCs with legitimate Office 2019/2021 installations. These machines did not request a migration to Microsoft 365 Apps. However, after internet connection, Office update activity, or Microsoft account interaction, Office appears to silently update, convert, or replace the existing retail installation with the Microsoft 365 Apps version. This is not a minor inconvenience. It creates a serious licensing and operational problem: -A valid one-time Office 2019/2021 installation is replaced by Microsoft 365 Apps without clear, explicit consent. -The original retail installation is no longer cleanly usable. -Fixing the issue requires uninstalling Office, removing Click-to-Run/licensing/account leftovers, and reinstalling the previous Office 2019/2021 version. -But because these keys are one-time installation keys, that reinstall process can render the original key unusable or create activation failures. -In practice, a forced Microsoft 365 conversion can destroy the value of a legitimate one-time Office license. From a user’s perspective, this looks less like a normal software update and more like an exploitative commercial strategy: using Microsoft’s control over Office updates, account sign-ins, Click-to-Run, and activation systems to push already-paid retail users toward Microsoft 365 subscriptions. Even if Microsoft does not intend that result, the practical effect is that users who already paid for Office 2019/2021 can lose practical access to their licensed product and are then nudged toward paying again through a subscription. This should not happen. A perpetual or one-time installation Office license and Microsoft 365 Apps are different products with different licensing models. Microsoft should not silently replace or convert one into the other because a Microsoft 365 account exists on the PC, because the user signs into Office, because OneDrive is present, or because Office updates are enabled. At minimum, Microsoft should provide: -A clear opt-in confirmation before replacing, converting, upgrading, or rebranding Office 2019/2021 retail installations as Microsoft 365 Apps. -A supported way to block Microsoft 365 Apps from taking over one-time installation Office versions. -A clean removal tool that fully removes Microsoft 365 Apps, Click-to-Run leftovers, licensing remnants, and account-based activation conflicts. -A reliable way to restore the original Office 2019/2021 retail installation without invalidating or losing the original one-time key. -Clear separation between Windows account sign-in, OneDrive sign-in, Microsoft 365 entitlement, and local Office retail activation. Users who purchased legitimate one-time installation Office licenses should not be forced into Microsoft 365 Apps by unclear update behavior. If Microsoft wants users to move to Microsoft 365, that should be a deliberate, informed choice — not a silent process that leaves the user cleaning up the installation and losing access to a paid retail license. I am not asking how to install Microsoft 365. I am asking Microsoft to stop Microsoft 365 Apps from taking over valid one-time Office 2019/2021 installations without explicit consent.
Can we detach Viva Connections from teams ?
Hello Everyone , Is there a way that we can create Viva Connections as a separate application (Detached from MS Teams) ? It would be helpful because we need it to be a standalone not to be linked in MS teams. Also Please enlighten me if we can create a Sharepoint Site as a windows/mac desktop application. It would be great to know thanks.Logitech Rally Bar video quality issues with multiple participants
We recently purchased a Logitech Rally Bar for testing. When the conversation is one on one the image in the attached picture is great. Top quality, clear as expected, and what you would be looking for in a Teams Room solution. The image on the right side of the attachment is the quality that you get by adding a 3rd person to the call. Dropping back to a one on one call restores the video back to the left image. Additionally, if we spotlight the teams room video the image returns to high quality. The only time the image degrades is when there are multiple video feeds in the call. Any suggestions or thoughts on how to address this issue would be appreciated. The issue occurs with wired and wireless connections to the unit.Microsoft Teams 5-year milestone and hybrid work

File attaching, renaming, best practices
Morning, Recent ex-evernote user. Switching because of handwriting and to reduce subscriptions. After the horrible export/import experience, I am trying to rename some of my files. I typically attach file versus printout or link, as I want to access to files on ipad when out of cell. I can't seem to rename attached files in windows app or web. I can't even see the whole file name. However, I can change the name on iOS app and see the change reflected in windows version 10. What am I doing wrong? TIA. Also, would love advice on your best practices for attached file management.How to share read-only links to notebook pages if you have edit rights yourself?
Hi there, SCENARIO we began introducing a new software within our organisation. Naturally a knowledge base emerged compiled by some key users. They created a OneNote notebook filled with helpful articles for common "how do I do xyz"-questions (it's pages sorted in sections). They know that those pages can be linked/shared by right-clicking and selecting "link to page". PROBLEM The problem was: the recipients (i.e. normal users) cannot open these links. The browser tells them they need to request access. WHAT WE DID we created a "anyone with the link can read"-link to the notebook. However, this only allows to enter through the notebook's "main entrance", e.g. the first page in the first section. The advantage of linking to specific pages giving specific answers is gone. within sharepoint share settings we set access rights for most key users to read-only. We thought this would generate read-only links as well but in reality this also caused a "request access"-wall, because these links can also be viewed by specific, i.e. named, people MY QUESTIONS is there a way to generate read-only links to specific notebook pages while still having write-privileges yourself? is there a way to turn existing share links (that were generated by write-privileged users) post-hoc into "readable for everyone within the organisation"-links? SETUP organisation is running on Microsoft 365 OneNote notebook is located within a MS Teams team for key users recipients of the share links are not part of the Teams team I will provide more info if necessary Best, Bunchofsage
