Do we know how much are MS going to invest into this ? Keen todo this for my clients.

One question - Where is the 'Files' Tab in the Community Page? My view is just like yours where there is only Posts and Photos. But I'd assume there should be a way to access all the files shared in one place? I see it on my mobile Teams app but not on the Desktop version which is odd. Is it something to do with Teams for Home/Teams for Work account or?

Thank you for this great introduction to MS Communities in Teams! I would love to start using this. However, the fact that it's only available for personal MS accounts is a downside. I preparing to start a virtual community of practice for teachers, but we must use our School accounts.😢 Can you suggest any alternative to this on MS Teams?

Great video, I currently looking at building an external professional community, we have access to this via the via engage subscription we have. But What I don't like is the extra step needed to reach the community, Your video showed the community icon on the left hand side, where for me, I need to pin the viva engage app, only once in the viva engage app can I then see my communities. Any one have any ideas or seen anything similar. My research also suggests that if you want to use a company account you can, you just need to make sure your org has the right licence type.

👍 does members need to have a Microsoft account or can they join with, say a gmail or a mobile number?
