This week, Kevin, Al and Garry (sadly Luise couldn't make it last minute) look back at 2022 to pick our favourite tech news of the year and our own personal highlights. Kevin even decided last minute about what everyone's focus was for 2023 so there are some late panics in the show that are worth sticking around for!

No news this week as we had a slightly shorter recording so we have included some links below. However, instead we have a cracker of a show with Will Rowe from MS-Talent, talking about the current job market in Microsoft IT related roles, the impact of hybrid, why people are moving and even blue back hair (yes really).

A very brave Emily Mancini tackles the subject of Yammer and when it excels for organisations over Teams. The chat with Luise, Al and Kevin takes in the different use cases around Yammer and Teams, how you can help adoption, why you should consider both and a lot lot more. There were certainly opinions this week!

Garry and Kevin are joined by Ami Diamond (aka the SharePoint Wizard) to talk about the big news from Microsoft Ignite, including Microsoft Syntex, Teams Premium, Designer, Loop and big exciting news about Planner (no really).

Kevin, Al and Garry were guest-less so covered the large amount of news and had a chat about Viva, Teams and Power Platform

Newly minted MVP Leon Armston joins us to chat about all things SharePoint Syntex, covering what it is, what you need to use it and some real life scenarios that Leon has used.

This week we are joined by Leon Armston, newly minted Microsoft 365 Apps and Services MVP, who shares his thoughts on the latest news.

Part 2 of our recording with Gavin Jones as we dig into productivity

This week, Gavin Jones joins Al and Garry to cover the latest news and views from across the Microsoft 365 space.

Last week was Microsoft Inspire, the main conference for Microsoft Partners, and so we are covering the announcements that were made. The exciting news is that there were new products, new APIs, new release dates and no new renames!

How old are you? Do you remember when the future of collaboration was SharePoint? Maybe you remember when it was web 2.0? Maybe you even remember back to when the internet or email was the future! This week, Hans Brender joins us to talk about the future of collaboration and we go a bit loopy talking about how Microsoft Loop will change the way we work, hopefully without us even realising it.

Hans Brender joins us to talk about the latest news just ahead of Microsoft Inspire. We cover: Viva Sales and how it changes the outlook for Viva (pun slightly intended) How to make beautiful Power Apps, inspired by the awesome Kristine Kolodziejski Why you should upgrade your SharePoint Framework solutions with CLI for Microsoft 365 Thinking about questions to ask at the upcoming Microsoft Search AMA

We are joined by Aaron Rendell, Head of Technology for CPS, to talk about Power Platform Centre of Excellence and how the CoE Starter Kit is what is says - a starter. We chat about the different processes and plans you that you should have in place to make your Power Platform usage the best it can be and to truly enable your citizen developers the right way.

Another episode, another something a little different. Following on from our show at the South Coast Summit last year, we decided to keep a similar format but with much better sound this time. We are joined by a host of great community members to talk about what their fantasy dinner party would be with three rules - there has to be one person from the community, one from Microsoft and one other (living or dead). Naturally, the rules were thrown out the window half the time but we had some great responses.

A slightly different show as we recorded our Happy Hour Etiquette session at the Scottish Summit. Al, Kevin and Luise were joined by Marijn Somers and Sara Fennah to share thoughts and tips on etiquette in Microsoft 365.

We are joined by Tomasz Poszytek to talk about all things processes in Teams. You may think that it is just about approvals but there is so much more that you can do to make your business processes more automated. We also talk about how you can plan your automations too.

Do you know what Infrastructure as Code is? If you do, have you thought about it with Microsoft 365? We are joined by Luke Evans to talk about what Infrastructure as Code is, why it's important and how you can do it in the world if Microsoft 365.

This week we are joined by independent Microsoft 365 consultant Luke Evans (Twitter, LinkedIn) to talk about the latest news including a nicely timed announcement of Viva Goals (Microsoft's release of Ally.IO), how to organise your Teams with no owners, some amazing new accessibility tools announced at the accessibility summit and the latest SharePoint updates.

We went a little different with this show as Kevin and Peter Rising were on an offsite together and so recorded a chat during lunch on their thoughts on what was top of mind. Hybrid meetings, measuring well-being with Viva and exciting news on a new Microsoft 365 book were all covered.

What will the future of work be? Rather than just guessing, Zoe Wilson talks to us about the report created by Agilisys around the future of work within the UK Public Sector. We chat about what it means to offices, how people do work and what the feelings of people are to modern work.

This week we are joined by Zoe Wilson,Director of Innovation and Customer Success at Agilisys, to talk about the latest news including some new updates to Teams with better search, the power of a Power Platform API (with documentation!), securing the metaverse and some great ideas from top authors around protecting your time.

This week we are joined by the fascinating Wictor Wilen who talks about the journey that he has taken with the open source project Yo Teams. We talked about why he created the project, how it has grown, how the community has helped make it what it is and what's next for Yo Teams (plus Kevin asks the stupid question about how many Teams Apps he has created but just pretend that didn't happen). Whether you are a dev or not, it's a fascinating chat about the journey from something just for you him to a tool used by thousands of developers worldwide.

This could be the most important podcast that you listen to all year! If you have flows in Power Automate running with Service Accounts then listen to this show as soon as you can. We are joined by Wictor Wilen to talk about a few of the big news stories in the last couple of weeks including the importance of understanding your licensing in Power Automate with service accounts. We also had calmer chats on the latest Teams functionality, how cool it is that you can customise the SharePoint menu now and that you can now try Microsoft Search in Windows.

If you turn on Power Platform, everyone just uses it, right? Michael Roth joins us to point out why this isn't true and what you should be considering to do about it. How do you get people engaged? How do you ensure that appropriate governance is in place? How do you get the balance between the two? We chatted about all that and more.

This week, we are joined my Michael Roth who helps us cover the new privacy tool from Microsoft, switching tenants and accounts in Microsoft 365 from within the web apps, a bundle of SharePoint updates and even more Teams updates. There was some "it's not a feature, it's a bug" as well as a sneaky "it depends" that got in there too and certainly some hot takes on what Microsoft is delivering.

Exams - the bane of adolescent life but also something that stick around if you're in the Microsoft world. Are they worth it? Do they have to be that painful? This week we are joined by the queen of certifications, Sara Fennah, to talk about all things Microsoft Certification and how you can make the most of them

This week we are joined by the greatest trainer of them all, Sara Fennah, who helps us cover the biggest news of the week. The four of us joined to talk about Microsoft's new sustainability dashboard in Power BI, the North Star Architecture guidance for industries around Power Platform, the joy/hope that Shared Channels in Microsoft Teams should bring and the awesome resources on the Microsoft Adoption site for Microsoft Viva.

We have some exciting news as we have a new co-host! The amazing princess of Microsoft 365 - Luise Freese! Luise will join as a regular host on the shows, adding her experience and sparkle to the conversation. To kick off this week, we talked about four of the biggest news stories with the possible demise of HoloLens, celebrating a year of Microsoft Viva, easier Application Lifecycle Management for the Power Platform and a new poster for your wall full of Microsoft certifications.

Very excited to share this episode with you as we have our first podcast crossover! Kevin and Garry are joined by Andrew Moran, Jon Jarvis and Sophie Dimelow from the Microsoft Spotlight podcast to talk about Women In Tech. The chat covered a very broad range of areas including why we were talking about it, unconscious bias and what we as a collective can do to help.

We're back! Kevin, Al and Garry return from their break over Christmas and New Year and pick a story each to cover before sharing the latest events. If you would like to appear on the show, we now have a Sessionize link and would love to hear from you over at https://sessionize.com/greyhatbeard/.

Happy Christmas one and all and happy holidays for anyone celebrating even more! This episode, Kevin, Al and Garry are joined by some pillars of the Microsoft 365 community who share their Christmas wishes. Big thank you to Carmen Ysewijn, Karoliina Kettukari, Kat Grennan, Luke Evans, Marijn Somers, Mark Vale, Michael Roth, Paul Bullock, Pete Rising, Randy Chapman, Simon Doy, Steve Goodman, Tom Morgan, Yannick Reekmans and a random cat!

Ho ho ho, merry Christmas to all those who celebrate and apologies to the relentless bombardment of forced joviality to all those who don't. This week, Kevin, Al and Garry look back at the biggest topics of 2021 to see how big those new stories now feel. Strange to think that this time last year, none of us knew about Viva. Amazing to see the growth of Cyber Security and the sad fact of virtual conference fatigue. Could we really have hoped that our dream of the death of IE11 would finally come true. Join us to find out.

After a few messages where Garry asked Al about a book he had used before, we decided that the subject of the book was a good start for a show to talk about. So, here we are with Garry, Kevin and Al talking about Design Thinking and why putting people first is key to getting great solutions, whether they are fully developed apps or building out a SharePoint site.

With Thanksgiving in the US last week, there weren't too many updates coming out from Microsoft so we dig a little deeper to bring you some interesting updates. Find out what Flowspace is and whether Microsoft is moving into the office furniture space. Learn whether Microsoft will be fighting more anti-trust suits. See whether 20 year old university projects still work.

This week we cover the often missed functionality of Azure DevOps to help you manage work better. Whether it's product management or running a migration, you can use DevOps boards to track your waterfall, scrum and even wagile projects! Garry, Al and Kevin talk through the different things to consider and why it is worth finding out more.

Al, Garry and Kevin catch up on some of the topics they didn't cover before on Ignite around Lists and Security & Compliance, then also look into what the Surface Laptop SE is.

The Ignite summary continues (check out Part 1 for the start) as Kevin, Al and Garry cover their thoughts on Ignite 2021 (Autumn Edition) and pick the news that caught their attention most including Power Apps licensing (good news for a change), Viva licensing (more good news!), Container Apps and a few returning surprises (possibly less good news).

Kevin, Al and Garry cover their thoughts on Ignite 2021 (Autumn Edition) and pick the news that caught their attention most including Loop, Context IQ, Mesh for Teams, Connected Spaces for Dynamics 365 and more. We continue to the chat in part 2.

A slightly different show today as Al and Kevin came live from above the South Coast Summit expo floor to record with a few guests. The sound isn't the greatest this time but the content is fantastic as we had Alison Mulligan, Luke Evans, Zoe Wilson and Mark Christie sharing with us what their dream conference would be. Find out who wants Satya Nadella speaking, who likes to get hands on with hardware and who would love it to be a giant festival.

For this show, we decided to heavily borrow from Office365Distilled's show about Commsverse and share the sessions that we are excited to watch at the South Coast Summit. Al and Kevin picked a few of the talks that caught our interest or that we know how amazing the people can be.

Al and Kevin cover the latest news including a chat about the new Surface devices, some SharePoint updates, Viva Learning GA date and the amazing fact that Skype isn't dead yet.

Does Employee Experience matter? Yes and we are joined by Karoliina Kettukari of Meltlake to help explain to you why, how employees can make the most of Microsoft Viva to help their experience and what organisations should consider when it comes to adoption and change in the world of employee experience, especially for frontline workers.

Garry and Kevin sat down to run through the latest news as Viva Connections Public Preview went out, more attempts to explain Yammer and Teams and the excitement of collaborating on flows in Power Automate lands. All while Kevin tried not to burst with the excitement of meeting real people at Commsverse.

This week, we decided to just have a chat about what was making us think at the moment and what we thought would be coming up over the next six months. Al caught us by surprise by talking about sustainability and opened our eyes to things that we can do in the digital space. Garry is getting deeper and deeper into the world of Dev Ops, not just the tools but the processes as well. Kevin keeps up his excitement about all things Employee Experience with Microsoft Viva and also looks forward to seeing what people can innovate with after the slight lulls during the pandemic.

Kevin, Al and Garry are back together for the first time in a while and so we tried to find the finest news around to share with you. Unfortunately, Kevin does decide to show his muppets off.

With the first big Microsoft related conference in the UK scheduled for September, we invited two of the Commsverse organisers to chat to use about what you can expect from Commsverse and also how Teams Devices can improve the ways that you can use Teams. Mark talked about all the different things that will be at the event itself (that you can join in person or virtually) and Randy shared loads of info on how Teams Devices can help, from better headsets all the way through to a full meeting room with sound bars, ceiling microphones and even a mahogany table.

We are joined by Mark Vale and Randy Chapman, co-organisers of the Commsverse conference all about Microsoft Teams, as we discuss the latest news including automated recording of Teams, holographic meetings and why Kevin wants to look you in the eyes.

What are your big habits, good or bad? Do you switch off effectively at the end of each day? Do you make time to do the work you need to do? In Show 39, Kevin, Al and Garry discuss the ways that Microsoft Viva can help you to build up habits, practices and rituals and we also cover what is meant by those three things too!

Microsoft Inspire was last week so we cover the latest news including our wish coming true for Dynamics in Teams and a new version of SharePoint.

On "Freedom Day" in the UK (yes, we are using quotes and yes we're not convinced either), we decided to look back and do a retrospective on the modern workplace in the pandemic. There were no post-it notes involved and thankfully no-one has been assigned a load of tasks to do next but we did talk about: - What went well - What went badly - What should we do more of - What should we do less of

Show 38 and the three of us cover the big news from the last couple of weeks, starting with highlighting the campaign to become allies for women and stop the ridiculous messaging on social media before returning to regular fare with Team high fidelity and latest Viva updates.

This week we are joined by Luise Freese who shares with us the joy of community and how you can get involved by reading and even possibly writing content for the PnP Community Blog.

This week we are joined by the M365 Princess, independent Microsoft consultant, queen of stickers and open sourceress - Luise Freese! We talk about the latest news including our thoughts on Windows 11 and the associated Teams updates, get impressed by Vesku Nopanen rocking the HoloLens2 and discuss why printers are bad.

A few weeks ago, friend of the show (and co-host of the amazing Office 365 Distilled podcast) Marijn Somers asked about whether you could remove a connection to a tenant when your account had been deactivated. This kicked off an idea for the show to talk about how we manage access to multiple tenants and how you can make life easier for yourself.

After a brief interlude last week, we are back with a quick fire 1-2 to keep you going through the year. Al, Kevin and Garry chat about the latest news with some great new features and intriguing new possibilities.

We are joined by Simon Doy and Simon Hudson who are part of the team working on the Maturity Model for Microsoft 365 and share with us what it is, who it is for, why you should use it and how to get started. Whether you are non-technical or technical, there is so much great stuff in there to help position where you want your processes to be in Microsoft 365 (and even beyond).

With Microsoft Build last week, Kevin, Al and Garry cover the key updates from their perspective. Whether it was a huge number of Microsoft Search updates, building apps for Teams or the amazing developer keynote with Scott Hanselman and friends, there was plenty to keep devs and non-devs enthused. Don't forget to vote for us at the Commsverse Tech Community Awards too!

As many of us start to think about returning to the office, we are joined by Paul Dredge to talk about Hybrid Working. No, we don't mean sitting in the back of a Prius trying to get the latest reports out but what do we mean?

This week we are joined by Paul Dredge, Senior Technical Consultant at Hable, as we discuss the latest news on Teams for Personal, Webinars, Syntex samples and more.

This week we are joined by Ryan Yates as we have Book Club 2, discussing our favourite books we've read or listened to in the last year. Whether it is to find out more about how we can sleep better, building habits or celebrating that humans are nicer than we think, we dig into the topics and occasionally touch on the importance of the topic to the Modern Workplace.

This week we chat about intros as Al works out how to intro his new role and then we cover news on SharePoint functionality, a change in model for SPFX releases, new stuff for Viva and record numbers for Teams. And we laughed at Kevin's sunburnt head.

What a great chat this week with Christos Matskas about the best of Security and Identity in Azure. Christos is a PM at Microsoft and Developer Advocate and shared with us some of what is going on with the team and the impressive developer experience that you can get. Christos inspired us to dig further into what can be built and to stop building anything else!

We are joined by Christos Matskas for the news this week - as a Developer Advocate for Security and Identity at Microsoft, he shares with us his thoughts on the latest news. This week we talk about Microsoft's purchase of Nuance, some interesting articles on security and more Power Platform updates to improve the governance and deployments.

This week, we are joined by Laura GB to talk about all things data, especially with the world of Power BI. We covered why tools like Power BI are so useful when working with data, how you can tell stories using them to answer questions with data and the latest updates from Power BI to inspire you.

This week we chat about a huge amount of news, covering latest Viva updates, Power Platform and real sales for Mixed Reality.

This week, we got chatting about testing, covering a few different areas like how you can do it, why it's so important and the different types. Many people think about testing as something you do as part of a development project but whatever work you do, there are always elements of testing you should be doing. Why would you not? Actually, we cover that too.

This week we discuss the latest news in part 1 as we share our thoughts on why Microsoft might buy Discord, hybrid work, enabling Viva Connections and plenty of Teams dev news.

Aaron Rendell joins us as we talk about our first steps in community, the benefits of getting involved and how you can get involved yourself.

With Ignite last week, Al and Kevin are joined by Peter Rising to discuss the big topics across the keynote, Power Platform, Security and Compliance, Teams and Viva.

The first in a new model for us as we start to release weekly. This means that it's just news this week and then part 2 will follow next week with Rabia Williams telling us about what it means to be a Microsoft Dev Advocate. First the news as we find the mythical beast that is intelligent meetings and debate what low low code might be among other things

On 4th February, Satya Nadella announced Microsoft Viva and something changed. This wasn't a pure focus on new technology, this was a focus on Employee Experience, this was a platform to bring together a set of services in a simple way to improve life for employees. We are joined this week by Steve Adams, CEO for CPS, to talk about what this means.

We are back to just us this week because we are keeping things private - well, at least we're discussing privacy and the things you should consider with the data you hold in Microsoft 365. Are you comfortable sharing how your data to get a better measure of your productivity?
