Roll out Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 at scale in three quick steps. See the methods for each to efficiently enable Copilot services: Optimize Search with data controls in place to limit exposure of information in search. Update Your Apps—both on desktop and mobile—so they are ready for integrated Copilot experiences. Grant Access to Copilot services quickly to large groups in your organization via Microsoft Entra controls. We're also introducing a new capability with Restricted SharePoint Search, which enables SharePoint administrators to define the sites where every user in the organization is allowed to files and data using search, without impacting access to sites and files for people working in sites, which are not allowed for everyone to search. With Copilot for Microsoft 365 services in place, track adoption and impact, and see how different groups in your organization are benefitting from Copilot services with the Microsoft Copilot Dashboard powered by Viva Insights. Now, even if you don't currently own Viva Insights, there is an offer for Microsoft Copilot customers to get these services included with your Copilot subscription: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2024/04/11/enabling-your-ai-transformation-journey-with-microsoft-viva/   ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Steps to deploy Copilot for Microsoft 365 01:01 - How to quickly optimize search 02:24 - How to set up Restricted SharePoint Search 03:23 - Update Microsoft 365 apps on managed devices 05:34 - Grant access to Copilot services 06:20 - Copilot Dashboard included with any Microsoft 365 subscription 07:00 - Copilot Dashboard powered by Viva Insights subscription 08:38 - Wrap Up   ► Link References: Get started at https://aka.ms/DeployCopilotforM365 Watch how to get ready for Copilot at https://aka.ms/CopilotSecurityMechanics For more resources go to https://adoption.microsoft.com/copilot   ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?  As Microsoft's official video series for IT, you can watch and share valuable content and demos of current and upcoming tech from the people who build it at Microsoft. • Subscribe to our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MicrosoftMechanicsSeries • Talk with other IT Pros, join us on the Microsoft Tech Community: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-mechanics-blog/bg-p/MicrosoftMechanicsBlog • Watch or listen from anywhere, subscribe to our podcast: https://microsoftmechanics.libsyn.com/podcast   ► Keep getting this insider knowledge, join us on social: • Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MSFTMechanics  • Share knowledge on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft-mechanics/ • Enjoy us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msftmechanics/ • Loosen up with us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@msftmechanics

It's episode 900! Richard brings friend Dana Epp onto the show to talk a bit about the last one hundred episodes of RunAs Radio - and a little look to the future as well. With Dana around, you know there will be lots of security conversation. Over the past hundred shows, ransomware has had quite the story arc, especially around Exchange Server and other products. The conversation then turns to more future-looking topics, including the various Microsoft Copilots being built - could these be tools to help sysadmins? Probably a topic for episode 1000!Links:Windows SandboxMicrosoft VivaMicrosoft Purview Data Loss PreventionRecorded September 15, 2023

When was the last time you set a boundary? You know the ones you set for your sanity, your solitude and your serenity? Well, what if I told you that no matter how hard you worked to integrate mindfulness and meditation into your life and workday, you could be missing the biggest offender to your peace of mind which we encounter daily. Yes, those digital notifications that pop up in pretty much every Microsoft product, each of our social networking apps and even the app you are using to listen to this. I apologize in advance as I may even be part of the offense if you got a notification of this episode being published today. But, the good news is my guest today is here to help us get back those boundaries. Ståle Hansen hails from Norway and is the Founder and CEO of Cloudway. I first heard Ståle speak on a Webinar on Digital Wellbeing at Microsoft this past year and was empowered to make some instant changes for my sanity. Ståle speaks to many companies and teams about the importance of using our Digital Tools in a way that makes wellbeing not only a possibility, but a reality. And the good news is it is finally being built into one of the most underrated modules right at our fingertips…Microsoft Viva. Ståle and I could have gone on for hours nerding out about all the tactics to take back control of our tech and we didn't even touch on the ever growing popularity of Copilot and Generative AI Technology. That we saved for a future episode. Enjoy this conversation and make each day a day where you adjust those notifications for your peace of mind. Thanks for listening.

The data is in and in a do more with less reality today organizations that foster an engaged workforce are delivering better metrics than their counterparts, including in revenue generation. (see Work Trend Index 2023) Microsoft Viva Glint helps organizations create a culture of feedback and action. With Viva Glint organizations can see and analyze strengths and opportunities, compare benchmarks, and use suggested actions to drive business outcomes. In this MidDay Café hosts Tyrelle Barnes and Michael Gannotti host Principal People Science Manager, Justin Bethke, Microsoft Viva Glint. During the session Justin covers topics such as: • What is Glint and how does it fit into Microsoft Viva?: Justin explained that Glint is a tool to measure and improve employee experience and happiness, and that it was acquired by LinkedIn and then moved to Microsoft as part of Viva, the employee experience platform. • What are the trends and best practices in employee listening and surveying?: Justin shared that the frequency and cadence of surveys should depend on the business outcomes and problems that the organization is trying to solve, and that combining active and passive data (such as from Viva Insights) can provide more insights and actionability. • How to transition and transform to a newer approach of employee listening?: Justin suggested that organizations can start with smaller or more targeted surveys that match their talent or business rhythms, and that they should push the ownership and accountability of the results and actions to the lowest level possible, such as frontline managers. • How to leverage AI to assist in employee listening and action taking?: Justin mentioned that Microsoft Copilot, the AI engine, can help leaders and managers to analyze and interpret the survey data and comments, and to suggest next steps and actions based on the insights. • *(topics pulled from video using Copilot in Teams Meetings asking Copilot to recap the meeting) Microsoft Viva Glint has the potential to help transform an organization and it comes with the Microsoft Viva Suite.

I have a VM to run the Windows version (it doesn't work in Wine) Mini-state of the Zunion: It's capable of browsing files on a connected Zune device, USB passthru to VirtualBox works Teams on Linux needs work Asks for a login every time Input/output sound devices get confused during calls - unusable Just use teams.microsoft.com in a browser Steam/Proton is fantastic for gaming Should you do it? If you're willing to put up with learning fast and researching community fixes Most Microsoft-based stuff will work on Linux, with the exception of OneNote which is stuck being web-based (or use a VM) Outro - "Plus Delta" We help you, you help us: Rate us on iTunes

How do you measure the productivity of your team? Richard talks to Angela Dugan about her work at 3Cloud, supporting groups that are primarily work-from-home and working with remote clients. What do you measure when you can't be face-to-face? Angela talks about using objective and subjective measures - time spent on a project- and how people feel about the work they are doing and the people they are doing it with. The conversation also turns to skill growth as part of measuring a team - making new skills portion of the work, sharing them with the team, and growing your value as an employee!Links:Microsoft VivaRecorded February 23, 2023

Welcome back, Explorers! Taylor and Rob have an exciting set of topics for your consideration this month. The episode begins with a great discussion on some Microsoft news featuring updates to products we've had whole episodes about in the past – Teams, Yammer, and Viva. From there your hosts sit down with author and MBG Collaboration Architect Jason Rivera to discuss his new book from O'Reilly, "Building Solutions with the Microsoft Power Platform" (available wherever fine technology books are sold, we imagine). The hosting team wrap things up with some post-interview discussion about the book and the Power Platform before signing off for the month.  As always, come for the insight into M365, stick around for the non sequitur at the end (you DO listen all the way to the end, don't you?)    For all of Jason's links, check him out here: https://direct.me/sharepointjr

In this episode of Couch Convos: Biz and Tech Talks, we discuss the various uses of Microsoft Teams as a collaboration tool and learn how businesses can use it as a full digital hub for remote and hybrid employees. The business world initially warmly welcomed Microsoft Teams due to its strong integration of chats, calls and collaboration. The subsequent pandemic and virtualization of many work environments led to an explosion of growth, and with that came many new ideas about how to use it. For those of us who may have seen Teams as a user-friendly skin on top of SharePoint, boy, is there more to learn! In this discussion, we talk to our Modern Workplace Co-Lead Michael McNett about how companies can use Microsoft Teams as a platform to enable other workflow, documentation standards and business processes. McNett also shares how your organization's IT department can enable options for expansion. Beyond the basics, there're also the exciting new integration capabilities of Microsoft Viva. McNett runs through the capabilities of Viva. For instance, if you hadn't noticed Viva besides its replacement for Cortana's daily digest, you may be surprised how much you already use this tool. Surprised or not, there are even more functions you can use. Join us for this podcast on Microsoft Teams as a platform and get your creative, collaboration juices flowing.
