Hello Readers, I hope you’re well.

Welcome to Episode 66 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

This week we have a ton of stuff to cover off the back of Enterprise Connect 2-25. There’s usually a lot of stuff revealed at EC and this year was no exception. I had a list of stuff written down,

but I also have the recap from Copilot:

I think that covers it. Thanks for listening! Catch you next time.

Hello Readers, I hope you’re well.

Welcome to Episode 65 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

This week we have a returning special guest, Tom Arbuthnot (@TomArbuthnot). We’re also doing something new, a crossover episode for Tom’s Teams Insider podcast. Look out for the episode there too. I do hope to go again in the future.

We didn’t have a fixed agenda or list of topics this time. It was a very fluid conversation looking back at last year and prior with all that’s happened in Teams and M365 and a look ahead. The look ahead also has some combination wishes and predictions. So Microsoft if you’re paying attention, we have your roadmap laid out.

Since we didn’t have a list and I didn’t write down what we talked about I’m also trying a first, and that is giving you the Teams Copilot recap verbatim.

Here you go

Thanks for listening! Catch you next time.

Welcome to Episode 64 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale83) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

This week we focus on all the stuff we (I) found intertesting from Microsoft Ignite 2024 in Chicago. I happened to be there this year for the first time which was awesome. I do hope to go again in the future.

Microsoft published blog posts on new things for Teams and Copilot announced at Ignite

There were a lot of great sessions, but only a couple focused on Microsoft Teams, and in particular, devices. This is one I refer to a lot in this podcast episode. Presented by Ilya Bukshteyn, Pete Daderko and Kerry Perez Heffernan at Microsoft. I attended this live in person. But there is a recording

Other notewoprthy Teams Sessions

Now a detour talking about licensing. How to decide who needs what license or feature from a specific license, and how to manage it once you do.

Welcome to Episode 63 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale83) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

This week was again a random list of stuff I found interesting in the Message centre and roadmap for Teams.

I thought you might find this interesting. This is the Copilot recap of the Teams meeting we used to record the episode. It shows a decent summary and a speech track of the three of us and who talked when.

Once we finish talking about Teams we start talking about tea. Coming from an American living in the UK for almost 30 years, America can’t make tea right.

Thanks for listening! Catch you next time.

Welcome to Episode 62 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale83) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

This week was a random list of stuff I found interesting in the Message centre and roadmap for Teams.

At this point the Teams client decided it didn’t like the audio setup I was using. For reference, Focusrite Scarlett and Logi Yeti Studio mic and Logi Zone wired earbuds. Since it was mic and speakers that failed I am blaming Teams and the Focusrite USB interface. But what a fail. Fortunately I have backup devices and could just change it on the fly. I cut out about 2 minutes of Mark and Shawn laughing at me to spare you. But thought I would leave in the rest as an example of how any component could just fail.

The rest of the list

Welcome to Episode 61 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale83) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

This week we started where we left off last time with Microsoft Places. Plus I put together a list of stuff from the Message Centre. Very good discussion I think. And a lot of voice stuff for Mark.

Welcome to Episode 60 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale83) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

This week we had a short list items I plucked from the what’s new from InfoComm and Build blog posts, and we managed to talk for 25 minutes about the first item in the list. So it turned into an episode largely about Copilot. Not a bad thing though as it was a good discussion.

Here’s a list of the Microsoft blog posts that we pulled from

Welcome to Episode 59 of the UCStatus Podcast. This episode features me (@randychapman), Mark Vale (@markvale83) and Shawn Harry (@shawnharry).

Following on from the recent Enterprise Connect show in Orlando there was a ton of Teams news announced. Live on Stage during the keynote and on tthe Microsoft stand. The result was something like 8 or 9 Microsoft blog posts. Including one on everything, another just on Teams rooms and devices. And several expanding on specific features. The list I drew up from all of that was so big (and because part 1 took an hour to record) that I decided to split it in half. This is part 2.

Then we switched to Teams rooms and devices
