And that other email address is handled by an entirely different government agency - I'll say no more about the politics involved.) (That other government agency uses MS Exchange Server 2013 I've no idea if they ever will upgrade it. (This causes all sorts of problems, such as every time I log into my workstation and Skype for Business pops up, I must enter my other email address's credentials over again. Whereas all of our email addresses comes through an entirely different email address, not associated (as far as I know) with our Office 365 account.
But what makes it complicated is that our Office 365 for Government license uses one email address which does not have an Inbox in any MS Exchange server anywhere.
Second major question, how does Teams work with Outlook? Whenever Skype for Business launches it automatically tries to connect to my Outlook, to get meeting notifications, etc. Would I be able to interact with someone sharing their desktop with me, if I switched to Teams? Would I be able to participate in a Skype for Business meeting, if I'm using Teams? Can I share my desktop with them, if I'm using Teams and they're using Skype for Business? (I don't get that, but its his opinion.) So, if I switched to Teams by clicking that checkbox, will I still be able to communicate via Skype for Business chat with my colleagues who insist upon using Skype for Business? And I just thought of something, what about Skype for Business meetings? Once a week our team has a Skype for Business meeting (no video - that was vetoed years ago, but sharing of desktop does happen). Another of my colleagues actually hates Teams he prefers Skype for Business, saying that it's a better chat client. In fact, my boss insists that I must have Skype for Business running all the time, so he can text me, etc. The first question is how does Teams work with Skype for Business? We use Teams and Skype for Business. I'd love to do this, but have some questions that need to be answered first. It says, "Register Teams as the chat app for Office (requires restarting Office applications)". In Settings, under General, I saw an option there I've not seen before. Thought I'd take a look at the settings, to make sure it did what I want (start automatically, etc.). I hope you find these helpful.I just reinstalled Teams.
These Microsoft Teams tips and tricks span from the basic (for those just starting to learn how to use Microsoft Teams) to the advanced, but all are practical and all have saved me considerable amount of time as I communicate and do business in Microsoft Teams. I’ve combed through this deluge of awesome functionality and battle tested many of these capabilities to distill down to my top 40 Microsoft Teams productivity tips. In the Q3 2021 earnings call Satya Nadella reported, “We are accelerating our innovation, adding over 300 features over the past year, including more than 100 new capabilities so far in 2021.” At the same time, Microsoft is releasing new features at an unprecedented rate. We’re spending more of our day in Microsoft 365 and using Microsoft Teams. It has gotten a tremendous response and its not hard to see why.
For years, I’ve been doing monthly webinars with my friend Tom Duff where we cover 10 new Office 365 productivity tips.
