Let’s Talk

In case you missed this –

Teams – The Teams desktop app screen sharing design is improved! During mid-March 2021, Microsoft 365 is rolling out an updated screen share menu so you find content more quickly and sharing a screen, the whiteboard or PowerPoint slides is much quicker.

WebEx – Available now! Meeting organizers have a new option when setting up breakout sessions. Along with the 1) Assign participants automatically and 2) Assign participants manually options, there’s not a third option: 3) Let participants choose any session.

Spring into Teams

Staying connected virtually will still be needed this spring. Microsoft Teams is a great way to stay connected synchronously and asynchronously.  Recently there were a series of webinars conducted by Jennifer Jury a Microsoft Learning Consultant.  The recordings are about an hour long and also offer files etc for referral.  You can Start with Teaching with Teams or check out some other options.  Click the link above or contact this office for assistance.

 

Addendum to last week’s post and invite!

Microsoft Teams meetings include audio, video, chat, live captions, screen sharing and recording.

Meetings are one of the many ways to collaborate in Teams, and there’s also a Team’s meetings integration for Canvas. This integration allows instructors to schedule meetings in Canvas. Once scheduled, everyone joins from your Canvas course.

This session will be lead by Microsoft Learning Consultant, Jennifer Jury.

Updated Collaboration Features for Teams and Webex

Microsoft Teams has tweaked the desktop app to improve your meeting experience. Most of the updates, like pop-out meetings, can be switched on now (see steps in the above link)

Other features are being fine-tuned and will launch within the next few days.

Cisco Webex Experience

Webex launched the new 40.9 in-meeting experience, and  updates the interface through several optimized and improved features.

Intuitive audio and video settings preview

The audio selection menu has been moved to a more prominent position over the Join Meeting button. Now you’re less likely to forget checking audio settings BEFORE joining your meeting.

Also, the larger preview window lets you actually check your “meeting face.”

Streams from Teams and Permissions

From https://ecu.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/1409/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=67559

Make sure you apply the appropriate viewing permissions when uploading a video. Permissions at the video level allow you to control who can see your video, who can own and edit it and assign access from within groups and channels. When you upload a video into Stream, you have the option to select, Allow everyone in your company to view this video. Any users with an ECU Microsoft 365 account can see the video and add it to their groups and/or channels. The Shared with field is where you select who can view/own your video and in which groups/channels. Use the drop-down to search and select viewers.

Recordings can be uploaded to Mediasite or Studio to maintain a repository for future use.

It’s certainly going to take Teamwork!

As we make plans to return to classrooms I have been asked about Mediasite Live Recordings and students viewing synchronously how might they best ask questions without having to run a simultaneous webconferencing session.

The Teams app will be available in the general classrooms, open Teams either on the classroom computer, a separate computer or mobile device.  Students can send via chat questions during class which you can then respond to in real time.

Want to try it out?  Just open teams, open chat, click new chat and enter my name or a colleagues, it is that simple.
