Welcome back and to our first episode of 2022. Daniel and Darrell are ready to start a new year, helping you plan for change, preventing or fix issues and staying informed of updates. Microsoft Teams and connected SharePoint sites will soon be deployed using a combined template. Design team templates for recurring collaboration purposes and have both the team and the site deployed to suit the shape and size of your teamwork. Also, Stream videos in SharePoint and OneDrive will have their captions and transcriptions become editable. Fix up the mistakes and communicate the captions correctly with important video content.

Time to take Microsoft 365 video creation to the next level. Soon you will be able to create videos from Office mobile to tell your work stories. I wonder where those will surface... Viva Connections perhaps?

Microsoft Teams press to unmute, SharePoint pages text toolbar
Manage your meeting mute in Microsoft Teams with a keystroke combo. When you're working with text on SharePoint pages, more tools have been shifted to the More ... menu. You no longer need to open a tools pane to see them and disrupt the layout and flow of your page building.

Multiple cameras in Teams meeting rooms, Teams guest usability
Switch between the camera recording people and a content camera, in a Teams meeting room. This means you can point the content camera at a whiteboard or connect a document camera. Then switch between it and the people camera. It's another tool in the quest for equalizing hybrid meeting experiences. Also in this episode, leave or hide Teams tenants you are a guest in!

Installing and Using the Microsoft Lists Desktop App
Microsoft Lists is a relatively new app within Microsoft 365 that allows for easy access to all your lists. These lists exist in your SharePoint sites, as well as within your own OneDrive for Business. Now we also have a Microsoft Lists desktop app that allows usage of lists offline and provides quick access. Here are my thoughts and instructions for you to install the app. I also created a video showing how to install and use the app that's embedded at the end of this post!

Q&A in Teams, Office.com update, Manager Insights from Viva
It's always interesting to see what lands in the Message Center during and after Microsoft Ignite. Sometimes we see products and features announced that appear in the Message Center shortly after the announcement. Like the Office.com updates this week. Changes to the landing page and new ways to search your recent content using the 'My Content' view. Other announcements tease you availability in 'Quarter-something next year'. Let's step back from the MSIgnite excitement for a moment and take a look at changes landing nowish and soonish.
