One of the things that people really missed when we moved to New Teams was the ability to get a notification when someone’s status went from Offline to Available.

New filter pills in the Microsoft Teams Activity Feed
If you use the Activity Feed in Microsoft Teams to find out what’s unread and where you’ve been mentioned, you’ll see a slight change at the top of the feed. Microsoft has added filter pills at the top to make those two options easier to use. Here’s what that looks like…
Adding images in Microsoft chats and conversations
Recently we discovered that a new change has rolled out to our tenant when it comes to image files attached to a Microsoft Teams chat or channel conversation. Instead of the file just showing as a file name (with no clue as to what the image looks like), it now shows the actual image! And, if needed, you can still download the image file if you need to. Here’s what it looks like and how that works…
Using the Trim function in Microsoft Stream

At first you had to be in the Microsoft Lists experience, but now it seems to be showing up on all your modern SharePoint lists that you access via SharePoint.

But if you’re like me, you spend FAR too much time trying to find just the right image. Now you can let Designer create a great announcement image for you! Here’s how that works…
