[@frederickharriman9779]

I like the pace and the flow of your videos and that I can go directly to a chapter if I want. Great production! I hardly subscribe to any channels but yours is so useful I subscribed. Good luck to you!

[@apatterson8128]

Kevin, we teachers are truly indebted to you. You have no idea how much you help us. I tell all of my colleagues about your channel.

Just wanted to let you know that your channel is awesome. I work for a very large organization and we have a dedicated team that supports MS Teams, but I find your videos to be more helpful than most of the training they’ve put out. Keep up the great work!

[@corinaaskew95]

Hi Kev I wanted to thank you for all your tutorials ! I went back to when you started these ,each day I watch them. I'm learning so much .I feel like I'm taking free classes ,except I'm learning more than what they would teach in a paid classroom !Your video tutorials are well explained and ...well your just awesome! Thank you again and keep them coming !

[@lailikhusniyah1674]

I learned so many fiture's teams that i havent know from this video.. This is so useful And I'll see the upcoming videos too

[@susangazzona6955]

My lovely lovely family recommended this video! They are really great!

[@vnvipindasyt]

you deserve a million subscribers. all your videos are in depth and have the quality of paid online training courses. great !!!

[@ZAZOZH43]

This video is amazing. I just found out about you last night and already watched all your videos. Your hilarious.

[@delsuzanne]

Referencing 4:47 tip; why doesn't my screen show the "apply background effects". I went and created one via PowerPoint came back to add it only to find there was no option for it to apply. Thx.

[@Itsgreggiedyo208]

Kevin- My team of 20, in 4 different countries, all watched this video together on MS Teams :) Thank you! Will check out more

[@heatherfeather2621]

Excited to have an in-depth video on planner. Learned that it’s less functional in action if the team was created NOT based on a ms group (that’s a tricky topic and really important!). People do not get email reminders for planner tasks, if there is no backend ms group and you can’t add the group later either?!...notifications are needed on the planner tab or something...maybe there are other ways to get notifications in planner? We have people outside the org (guests) on teams too...so would like to learn more about notifications in planner and teams!

[@Magic24x7]

One useful feature in a meeting is.. the names of people who are speaking appears in bold font in the participant list.. this comes handy when someone with noisy background forgets to mute .. you can scroll through the list and look at bold names to identify the lines with audio coming in and mute if needed. (You can also look at mute icon... but sometimes people may be using mute function from their headset or external audio device instead of using mute function of Teams, and muting them in Teams may cause confusion as they may not be able to unmute as they expected to later). It will be very useful if Teams could sort the participant list according to last speaking so that we can always see the latest speaking (or noisy lines) people names on top.

[@LisaGoddard117]

We just had some Teams Training yesterday as we are early adopters in our organisation. Not everything is available to us yet as they are rolling things out in stages but there are pretty cool features. A good one I picked up was how powerful typing / in the search bar at the top of teams is and also how to quickly send a message to multiple people that you contact regularly.

Kevin,.. thank you! You're an incredible trainer, you anticipate my questions with answers before I can ask them.

[@izzynolimits]

Thanks Kevin! I am returning back to work and the whole organization uses this. You consolidated it well in this video.

[@emithewitch]

at 6:26 you are accessing your video on Streams but for some reason my videos do not save to Streams anymore. They are deleted after 20 days. On the 3 dot menu all I see is 1. Make it a tab, 2. Learn more (takes you to Record a Meeting MS Help article), 3. Report a problem. Do you know the reason? Could it be an Admin related limitation? Thank you for all the useful videos!

[@serkanoosterbaan1628]

I am not 100% sure, but it is possible that your new recordings are saved to onedrive.

[@JosephRawsthorne31]

say if you had an iPad pro and you had a MacBook could you write on the iPad as the whiteboard and used the MacBook as your camera ???

[@sauravmisraz]

HI KEVIN, just wanted to know if there is any way out to see the recent conversations at the top of a chat, instead of bottom which is currently appearing.

Many thanks for your efforts.

[@antoinette2218]

If you are a delegate on a calendar, are you able to download the attendees list from a meeting currently in session?

[@benllewellyn297]

Hi. Thanks for these. I do have a question for you, which might become a new topic: I have to teach a class for a random group of professionals. It needs to include a PowerPoint slide show, time at the whiteboard, heavy use of sticky notes on the whiteboard by all the students, exercises written in Word, and the ability to call on individual students. I have a team of four, and we might be able to distribute some of the work, but we can't quite figure out how to juggle all of this. Back in the days before virtual classrooms, the students would have a notebook that included copies of the slides (with room for them to take their own notes), copies of the exercises, printed worksheets, and a full pad of sticky notes, which they would arrange on a physical wall. Yes, they can create the sticky notes on the whiteboard, and I can help them arrange them when the time comes. My concern is that my team and I won't be able to see the presentation, the whiteboard, and the list of students (who are guaranteed to slip in and out as their own project crises dictate). In addition, the students will almost certainly be reading the Word exercises from e-mail (or possibly a SharePoint link), making them jump back and forth from the written exercise and the whiteboard. Um. Help?

Great video. Tks for sharing your expertise

[@josephgeppert64]

Very nice video. Maybe you should put a place holder at end of your videos so instead of youtube going to the next video it will advertise your page and gain more subscribers.

[@arezoops8343]

Hi Kevin! Is there any chance to download the meeting transcribe in a format such as Ms word or any other format that can be copied and pasted?

[@preetirohella402]

Is there any way of filtering out the calendar section as per our requirement?

[@jksharma7]

Very good sir. How do you increase the sound when someone pings you in the Teams so that if you are in another room you can hear the ping

[@user-cb1vw4wq5f]

Kelvin, with the features that you were demonstrating. you had two participants on the screen but were on mute. the reason l am asking when you do your demo's l work alongside you but with the background effect this is only possible when you are in a team live i.e meet now?

[@sana.m.haddad]

Super useful tips. Thanks!

This was very helpful!

[@eitancohen]

Thank you, i learned something new today. I have another question, can I send messages to myself?

[@donnamabry1586]

Hi Kevin - my company is transitioning to MS Teams and can't figure out how to get the number of unread messages count added to the TEAMs icon in the taskbar. When I installed desktop - the count was already there. However, many of my colleagues do not see it. We've checked settings and notifications but found nothing that tells us how to add the 'count' to the taskbar icon. Previously we used slack and this was 'standard'. I've tried searches and watched tutorials, but have been unable to find anything on this topic. Hoping you can help.

[@m72flyd]

MS Teams seems to be awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@MeghaBava]

Hi Kevin, Do you have details on how voicemails can be deleted from Callqueues? We connected the call queues to a Teams channel and the voicemail shows up there for the team. It is unread at first but the team will not know if someone already called back or started an action.

Hello. I have one question regarding "rise hand" functionality. When you ask question and some people rise hand you can see correct order of people who raised hand. But how does it work when you aske another new question and people rise their hand again? "Rising hand" is visible only for some time or we need to reset "Raised hand" functionality?

[@6tttchik]

Consider my mind BLOWN!!! I am an EA that has worked in C-Suites and retired 2 years ago. The last international company I was working for was just implementing Teams so it was not as dynamic as it is now. What an incredible tool! I certainly hope my former colleagues have received training for all these amazing tips.
