Disable incessant nagware popups
I don't know about everyone else, but I am sick and tired of the nagware pop ups in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc. Every single product harasses me with pop ups trying to tell me "hey, did you know this feature was here?", "you can do this if you click that", "let me hold your hand through using products you've used for decades even though you don't want daddy Microslop to do that". This is a prime example. I keep getting the same ones again and again and again and everything I've read indicates they should only appear once. But they don't. They keep coming back like a psychotic stalker ex who wants alimony even though you were never married. How do I get this nagware to stop?!How to Remove Expiration from Microsoft Teams Recordings (OneDrive/SharePoint and Stream)
Microsoft Teams makes it easy to record meetings, and with the rise of hybrid work, these recordings have become essential for documentation, training, compliance, and knowledge sharing. However, you may have noticed that recordings now automatically expire after a set period—usually 60 days by default. In this blog, I’ll show you how to remove or modify the expiration date on Microsoft Teams recordings—whether they’re stored in OneDrive/SharePoint (the default for most tenants) or in Microsoft Stream (Classic or on SharePoint). https://dellenny.com/how-to-remove-expiration-from-microsoft-teams-recordings-onedrive-sharepoint-and-stream/Microsoft 365 Unifies Video Under Clipchamp Brand
A November 26 announcement says that Microsoft 365 Video will bring Stream and Clipchamp together under the Clipchamp brand. A lot of hard work over the past few years created the potential for unification as Stream moved to the SharePoint platform and Clipchamp embraced the Microsoft 365 framework. Bringing the two solutions together into a unified Microsoft 365 video platform makes perfect sense. https://office365itpros.com/2024/12/05/microsoft-365-video-unity/Blog about: How to Use Microsoft Stream: A Beginner’s Guide
Microsoft Stream is a video-sharing service designed for businesses and organizations to upload, manage, and share videos securely within their enterprise. It’s part of the Microsoft 365 suite, making it easy to collaborate with your team using video content. Whether you’re sharing training videos, presentations, or meetings, Microsoft Stream offers an intuitive platform for video management. Here’s how to get started. https://dellenny.com/how-to-use-microsoft-stream-a-beginners-guide/How to use the latest AI Features in Clipchamp [AI VIDEO EDITING]
If you are a Video content creator like me, don't miss this video to take advantage of the latest AI features in Clipchamp. Clipchamp is a powerful tool that helps you edit videos and create Thumbnails. In this video, I'll show how to remove background noises, images, filler words, and pauses. #Clipchamp #AI #Microsoft365 #MPVbuzz #VideoAI #VideoEditingStream Moves to Intelligent Versioning
In a change designed to reduce the consumption of storage quota, Stream video versions are no longer being generated for non-video updates such as changes to video metadata. Anything that alters the video content, like trimming some seconds from the start or end of a video, will create a new version. It seems like a perfectly reasonable change to make that might help SharePoint storage not be consumed quite so quickly. https://office365itpros.com/2024/07/24/stream-video-versions/Better Copilot Audit Records and Copilot Chat Appears in Classic Outlook
Copilot audit records generated for the Microsoft 365 audit log capture details of the resources (files, emails, and documents) used by Copilot in its answers. This doesn’t sound very exciting, but it is important for forensic investigators who need to understand what information is consumed to generate AI answers. In another development, the Copilot for Microsoft 365 chat app is now available in Outlook classic. https://office365itpros.com/2024/05/31/copilot-audit-records-resources/Stream Development Presses Ahead After Migration Finishes
The Stream browser client has received some nice new features including the ability to trim videos in a very efficient manner and to add callouts to videos to appear between specific timecodes. And there’s Copilot for Stream, which is available if you have Copilot for Microsoft 365. The extra functionality demonstrates that Microsoft continues to invest in the development of the Stream client, which is nice. https://office365itpros.com/2024/05/24/stream-browser-client-may24/Microsoft Retires Stream Mobile App
On May 2, 2024, Microsoft announced the retirement of the Stream Mobile app on July 1, 2024. It’s all to do with rationalization and focus, or so Microsoft says. In any case, the suggested replacements are the OneDrive and Microsoft 365 apps, both of which are capable of handling video uploads, management, and playback. https://office365itpros.com/2024/05/03/stream-mobile-app-retires/
Approval Drawings Process
Hello guys, I have a very general question, hopefully, some of you can give me some ideas/solutions: What tool or tools do you recommend me to track my engineering team's handling of the Approval Drawings Processes, some of the tasks include: Approvals to be done, and once completed this drawing has to be sent to the customer, when the drawing is received back from the customer another task has to follow depending on the customer answer. In the customer's answers, we can have the possibility that the document returned Approved as it is. or it could come back approved as noted, if this is the case then the drawings need to be revised and re-submitted to the customer again, this cycle continues until the customer's full approval. Every time the document travels from one stage to another a record of the dates is needed. Not sure if a simple Microsoft list could do the job, with some automated email to/from. Planner, Loop, List, Tasks. (I would like to stay with the 365 online solutions for an easy sharing/interaction with the team). Also, I would like to have the possibility of automating the task assignment and date stamped once the task is completed. This is in my head, but probably there are better ways. Has any of you come to a good solution for this tracking and task assignment, and what tool are you using or if you could simply have a link to a good article/reference? I would really appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks Eric
