Hi, I have a question. For instance, my classmate sent a file to our group in teams then I opened it not download, will she or the creator of the group know that I opened it? tnx

[@margielynalfaro6107]

Hello Kevin! Hope you notice this. 🤞🏻 I'm an expat here in France and I really need to have my CC captions during our meeting (they speak French) in teams be translate in English. Is there a way to do it in Microsoft Teams? I will really appreaciate it if you can make tutorial of it. Thanks a lot and more view in your videos 😊

Very educational video. Company software is for work purposes, agree. BUT, the line that separates corporate need to access usage information and the co-worker privacy is sooo broad here! Excellent content, as always!

[@wu_hugo]

If your company / boss needs to track you like this you either need to find a better company or another boss......

[@davidadams421]

It's not quite that the company _wants_ to do this, more that the company _has_ to do this to comply with legislation, such as a 'legal hold'. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to comply with a 'legal hold', which usually means retaining communications for x years, and _not_ having this feature? Painful.

Hi Kevin, awesome vdo! Thank you. Q: What about deleted chat messages in Teams? Are these still visible under the Admin setting? Also, does it record Teams calls?

[@JustBlankNoInfo]

I learned something new today! More than office employs this helps for school or college teacher's/sirs during online classes! Especially if they are using teams! You have a lot of IQ and Intelligence! What a brilliant man you are! Hat's off!

[@neilgoodman2885]

Dear Dark Dudes: I disagree. Students should not be looking over their shoulders when trusting a teacher, who should not have to worry about Plagiarism -- let something like a software seller do that, but do not disturb the student-teacher relationship of trust and truth.

[@JustBlankNoInfo]

​@@neilgoodman2885, I agree where you say "TRUST". But I think more control for teachers is always a good thing. You might say this class is a good class. I still commented on my personal experience with online classes. Yes! I have online classes. And I really think the trust is not broken. The teacher might have a clear idea of what's happening. And in real classes, the teacher has 100% control. Don't think of this as a trust-breaking comment, but really just another option of school. Just think of this as real school then maybe you'll agree.

Very insightful, indeed. In particular the demos of the admin center capabilities are eye-opening. I wonder what kind of reports are available or can be created "easily" when using PowerBI. Also I wonder what other kind of reports specialized social network analysis software are providing when having access to the M365 APIs.

[@georgiaannbicknell6129]

[@HarryLowtonIT]

[@KorawichKavee]

As an admin of the system, I see the report 365 not that meaningful . Sure I know how much people use 365 service but it doesn't exactly tell you how they work on their job :outside of 365 environment I got no clue what you do with other software. Maybe you use Adobe stuff, Autodesk stuff, or not even using any software just pen & paper. These I can't monitor from this 365 report.

[@SteveSchlick]

Would love to see a video on how to use the presence and status of users and list all the users in Teams like an in/out board. I know there are third party apps, but it seems that this should be possible with the M365 tools available.

[@AskMePrayer]

Kevin - what software tool are you using to show your screen for tutorial? I am told "Screenflow" is good for apple users. But, I am not sure what to use on my Window 10 PC?

Hey Kevin, nice video. I have a question , can the app track if someone gets kicked out of a meeting by another user inside the meeting? Asking because my school is using teams for online learning and the problem is that students are kicking out other students from meetings, this is starting to get out of control. Again nice video as always 👌

Hi Kevin, In Microsoft teams, is it possible to move a tab with all its content to a different channel within the same team? Kind of reorganize the team structure. Do you know if that is possible and if so, how do you do that? Thanks.

[@user-eg1ow1ik8i]

@Kevinstratvert I have watch some of your videos. I am having trouble finding a setting function. We have a new coworker. For a few days I noticed he had some comments in MS teams chat that were "blank". I noticed today that the chat list had "No Problem! :)", but in the actual chat all I saw was " :)". When I highlighted the response, I could see the text. I was looking to help him change format settings for suggested replies, but I can not find where to change the format. Any help would be helpful. Thanks.

I have a work laptop with Teams and Outlook. I used my employer's credentials to go to Microsoft's website and download Teams to my personal desktop. Sometimes Teams is active on my personal desktop PC during work hours. One day, I went to a NSFW while Teams was active on my personal desktop. Could my employer find out that I visited that website? My personal desktop is not networked to my work laptop or anything.

Umm Kevin, I have a question for you. When even 1 person turns on their video in teams, it opens in a separate grid and its really irritating. I can only see their face and the tiles of the people who do not have their camera on appear at the bottom of the my screen. This happens in gallery mode. Is there a solution to it? :(

What, exactly, defines someone as an "active user" in Teams? Do they just have to click on a channel or tab?

[@davidadams421]

Active users are users that have an M365 account that can be logged into. Has nothing to do with how 'active' you are.

[@michaelputnam2532]

@@davidadams421 But when you look into the activity monitors for a Team channel, you see different numbers of active users per day. Can't be just having an account.

[@davidadams421]

@@michaelputnam2532 Ah, yes, I see what you mean. I'm a M365 admin so 'active users' means something different to me. You're right, you have to 'do something' to be tracked, like logging into a M365 service e.g. Teams, OneDrive etc.

[@michaelputnam2532]

It's that "do something" that I'm curious about. I can't find a specific action list on line.

[@KevinStratvert]

Generally an active user is someone who has at least one session during the time period (e.g. you open Teams). As long as the user opened the experience, that tends to qualify as active. Some apps / sites have a higher bar, like clicked on something. I'm sure Teams also tracks a funnel, like total number of active users, # of users who click into a channel, # of who post a message... etc. and it keeps getting smaller and smaller as you look at more actions.

urgently! my teacher said after class that he’ll ask some ‘coordinators’ to check who kicked who in the call. is is possible?

[@bjones8698]

It's possible. (I use TEAMS with my students. )

[@bobwilliams8867]

If what you are saying is true privacy laws in many countries make this illegal. So either someone somewhere is going to dump on Microsoft or you are basically making it up, or perhaps not telling the whole truth. Let’s face it the police in most countries have access to huge amount of personal information about people, not just criminals, e.g. car registration numbers & address. However most police forces make it illegal to access this without proper reason.

[@KevinStratvert]

Hey Bob - to clarify, Microsoft doesn't have access to this data since it belongs to the customer. If an organization / customer wants to review their data, they have the right to do so. If you work for an organization and they decide to investigate, they can access all the tools I demonstrated. Microsoft on the other hand is just the data processor.

[@joydeepshaw8560]

Is Admin also have access to ours one drive files?

[@davidadams421]

Yes and no. No, by default, but as Kevin showed, all M365 products, including OneDrive, are 'instrumented' (to use the proper parlance), so Yes, if required for legal reasons. Note: if you have a personal OneDrive account then you can store stuff in 'Personal Vault', this is an end-to-end encrypted folder. This isn't available for Office 365 accounts.

[@OHSOTRENDY777]

Are they able to pull report on deleted chats?

[@HarryLowtonIT]

Admins or compliance admins depending on their retention policies and so on would normally use eDiscovery or Content Search to find messages sent from a user and this can show deleted messages.

[@subhaniboralassa8482]

Hello kevin i cannot download any apps from microsoft store. Please tell me how to fix it

@@davidadams421 can a owner see what the members talking in their "private chats"??

[@davidadams421]

​@@garanamogudu5396 Not sure what you mean by 'private chats', I mean you can have team chat, channel chat, group chat and individual chat. The team 'owner' only has privileges to configure the team they are an owner of, everything else is based on whether there user account has access permission. For example, if they are a member of a team, they can see all team and channel chat, if they are a member of a group chat, they can see all chat from each group member. An 'owner' cannot see an individual chat, nor a group chat they are not invited to, nor channel chat if the channel is private. I think the answer to your question is No, but I wasn't sure what you meant by 'private chats'. Note: all chat is logged. Any M365 Global Administrator and certain other M365 roles can see all chat, all emails, all documents, all logins, basically everything you do and say within the M365 ecosystem. This is called Global eDiscovery and is a legislative requirement for e.g. Legal Holds etc. Nothing within the M365 ecosystem is truly private.
