Allow Canvas Studio Public Embeds in Microsoft Sway
Sway is a hidden gem inside of Microsoft 365. I just discovered it, and it's an amazing tool to turn old PowerPoints or even lecture notes into dynamic lessons for students! One limitation I'm running into is the embed whitelist. While I know this app likely has low priority, is there any chance there is a way to request a specific site be added to the embed whitelist? My biggest priority would be Instructure's Canvas Studio. Microsoft's new LTI 1.3 integration with Canvas has some rough edges, but it's an amazing start! Thing is, I don't want to share a wall of text lecture notes from Microsoft Word through OneDrive. I like the dynamic and more visually oriented style of Sway. The Problem: Currently, when trying to embed instructional videos from Canvas Studio into a Sway presentation, the platform blocks the embed code. This forces educators to either upload duplicate files to a different hosted service (like YouTube or Vimeo) or break the seamless student experience by using text hyperlinks. And the problem with YouTube is that many of our local community partners at K-12 schools have YouTube blocked on the Chromebooks early college students use. Proposed Solution: White-list Canvas Studio public embed domains so that users can seamlessly paste iframe code from Canvas Studio directly into Sway Embed Cards. This will create a smoother workflow for the thousands of schools utilizing both Microsoft 365 and Canvas LMS. And while you're in there adding Canvas, You might consider expanding that whitelist further. Scribe tutorials would be great, or similar services. TikTok might be controversial, but that would be good. Students don't click links; they'll click play on embedded content. Expand the whitelist, please!
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?!

Sharing on 365
I am wondering how I can use 365 to do things that I was planning to do on my website, such a member's forum, video and documents. Is there a Publisher equivelant in MS 365? I want to make printable (PDF) books. Can I use Sway presentations on my Wordpress Website? Do those that I invite to my 365 products have to have MS 365 subscription accounts to access? Can MS Stream videos be used on my website? Can I invite non MS Stream users to view my videos in Stream?Office 365 news in September at Ignite—intelligence, security and collaboration

As Microsoft has moved users, teams, and documents to the cloud with Office 365, the company's IT department has been transforming from server and systems management to organization empowerment. Formerly MSIT and now called Core Services Engineering (CSE), the teams are focused on delivering technology based services that enhance the company's ability to achieve our mission: to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. Software-as-a-service solutions like Office 365 delivered from the cloud are always up to date and constantly improving. Rather than spend time racking and stacking servers, deploying patches, and planning costly upgrade projects, CSE resources are freed to develop solutions to business problems and enable a productive and collaborative - yet secure and protected - workforce.
