MS Teams have made several changes; the most visible one is storing recordings created during meetings. Please take a closer look at them along with other news.
The recordings made in MS Teams are now saved in the users' OneDrive storage instead of the Stream like users were used to so far. In the case of a team meeting, the recording is stored in the teams' SharePoint.
You can find more information on the detailed page of meeting recordings in MS Teams.
When sharing within a meeting, you can choose the so-called Presenter View, where your webcam will be shown on the shared content. Your presentation will look much more professional and natural.
You can try it out by selecting Share content during a call and selecting a specific option from the options under Presenter View. The Customize Button then allows you to choose the background of your choice.
The meeting organizer in MS Teams can lock the event - i.e., prevent access to other participants who are not invited. This is suitable, for example, for teachers who want to prevent students from other groups from joining (or do not want latecomers) or for organizers of meetings where sensitive information is addressed, and participants need to be authorized.
How to do it? Choose the Participants icon, more actions (3 dots), and Lock the Meeting. You can unlock the meeting again in the same way.
For forgetful heads, the automatic recording function, which you will find in the meeting options, is more than appropriate. As a result, each time a meeting starts, the recording starts within a few seconds. The presenter can end it manually or by ending the meeting.
WARNING - the recording owner is the person who started the meeting, not the meeting organizer. The automatic meeting recording is only possible for users licensed with A3.
As of 1 August 2024, the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop licence, which was previously available to all MU employees and students, will no longer be available at Masaryk University. As an alternative, we recommend switching to the more modern ArcGIS Pro, which offers a modern user interface, greater stability, more advanced features and better user support.
Do you want to know the news about Microsoft 365 tools used at the university? What changes and improvements await us in 2024?
