Thank you so much! Glad you liked the tutorial.

Are talking about my Rode Mic? I don't know a lot about audio so I bought something that was recommended. Never heard of an RE20 until I read your post, so I did learn something new and that is always a plus. Also, I don't disagree with you about technique, that some people are amazing at controlling their voice when recording. I don't claim to be that amazing yet. Thank you for sharing something that I can research. Do you happen to know of resources that would help me develop my skill speaking to the mic?

For example I use an application number 123456. 20 minutes later I forgot I captured the information wil it pick up build in detection

Hi, Forms does not have duplicate detection. If you are using the Forms only for people in the same company as you then you can turn on the option to capture emails, then limit to one reply only. If you get info from external parties, you can add a question that would require a unique identifier. Email could work there too. Then you can export the results to excel and use duplicate detection in Excel to highlight duplicates. Unfortunately there is no easy button here.

I posted the answer to the original message.

I looked through the Microsoft Documentation and could not find a way to pull the information in. The only thing was to how to sync a personal calendar and zero on shared calendars. When creating a test booking, the calendar invite does go to the Shared calendar indicating it is a one way sync.

I don't read emoji well, but this looks fun :)

Hi, when it comes to scheduling features, virtual appointments are almost identical to regular Teams meetings. When you go to Teams and select a Virtual appointment, there is a Repeat option just below the Date/Time selection line. For Bookings, I looked and could not find repeat meeting options. If you need a screenshot of what to look for in virtual appointments, I will post one in my Facebook Group called M365 Collaboration. Feel free to go there to check it out. facebook.com/share/g/15cDXEURTn/

As chats are sent the most recent ones will automatically be at the top of the recent list. You cannot move those ones around. However, if you have a chat you want to keep tack of you can pin it(them) to the top of the chat pane. After they are pined you can drag and drop them in any order that makes sense to you. But if you are asking if you can create sections or folders to keep them together like we do with folders for email, chat is not that sophisticated.

It seems like you are saying that the audio ends but the slide does not transition as fast as you would like. The trick I have used is to go to slide show tab, use rehearse timing. Once the audio plays you stop the rehearsal. A box will pop up asking if you want to use the timing from the rehearsal. Click yes. This has made the timed transitions closer to the audio in my experience.

Your welcome.

Happy I could help. This made me giggle. Not a hero, just a person trying to help others.

@HeatherMajors that's the definition 👍🏿 especially in the world we live in now where no one wants to. Genuinely grateful 🤗

@@triniguy88 I am glad I could help you learn something.

Hi Heather. I wish I had seen this post but I am stuck as well. I am still trying to get out of the loop. So frustrating. Do you have any specific language that I should use when trying to reach out to support to get it resolved?

@@katrinakerr1096 First, sorry you got stuck in this loop. First, I had to get screenshots so the admins could see that getting an authentication code was the only option when logging in. Then I told the admin that I had reinstalled Authenticator on my phone. To set up Authenticator, you must verify your identity, and the only option is to provide a code. However, getting a code before verifying who I am is impossible. I told them I did not have a backup method like email or phone. Then I told the admins that according to Microsoft Documentation, the only way to break out of this loop is to have a Global Admin reset my Multi-Factor Authentication. Getting the admin to understand the loop was difficult because they assumed there would be a second option. That is why the screenshots are helpful because the admin can see that I did not miss an option, it was not available.

Based on a search of the Microsoft Learn documentation, an Admin can use something called PowerShell to give someone a power user role. I am not an admin and have never used PowerShell so the exact steps are beyond my expertise.

If it is just a few items I would suggest downloading the list to Excel. Open the second list > go to tool bar at top of screen and use edit in grid view. When in grid view you can copy and paste the data from Excel and it will all populate at once. If you need to move the whole list then you could use create new list from existing list.

You are very welcome and glad it was useful for your. As a neurodivergent learner I tend to make the videos I wish others had made when I was learning :) If that also helps another person, it is a win!!

I looked through the Microsoft documentation and forums and found that Bookings does not have a way to limit how many appointments a person can make.

Welcome

The new version has just a text box too. But my boss wanted it to move around because they saw it in someone's video. I had to figure out how to make it happen. My brain said "If I had to figure this out I bet someone else does too. Let me SHARE!!." Either way works with no wrong or right answer as far as I am concerned.

Hi, last we chatted I looked at that feature and discovered that you can only change the max attendees when the service is first created. What happens if you use the quick start wizard, the option is not there upon creation causing an issue. What I did to get around that was go to the booking dashboard for the booking page, go to services section, click 3 dots, click add service. Now you will see all options at once, this includes the option to change the max participant. I would give a screenshot but TH-cam does not allow that in comments.

@@HeatherMajors This worked wonders, I have no words! I would've never found it or thought to try something like this. Now my students can start booking some speaking practice for next week. Thanks again, also for replying so quickly, I really appreciate it.

@@elenij.6682 So glad it worked. Hope you have some wonderful speaking practice sessions.

I have not seen that option in Teams. The Breakout rooms are treated like a separate call that is independent from the main room. The setup to record multiple calls and put them into one call would take resources similar to what the old live events required such as production software. Breakout rooms are meant to be more lightweight. The best suggestion I have is record the individual calls, then if you have editing software, dump each MP4 into the editor to combine them.

Okay after some testing, it looks like no matter what Group ID that I chose, it is pulling the list at the Team level. Power Automate does not look to the private or shared channels for membership. Standard channels have the exact same membership at the Team so that is all Microsoft provided.

The answer is complicated because it depends on what license type you have and how the admins have configured the Teams environment. Most companies require that the email should be a Microsoft account from within the company. Some companies may configure guest access that allows you to add someone with a Microsoft account from another company. A few companies will allow guest access from a gmail or other free service. This is rare because there are security risks associated with that option. I am not an IT Admin expert so I don't know how each option is configured I just know that those are some of the options.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi, I am in the process of finishing up the course and expect it to be done by the end of October. You can sign up for a waitlist to be notified using the Form forms.office.com/r/x7Q9DkDHtB. I am accepting up to 10 users to participate in a beta to view the course while it is in development. The general idea is you would get a steep discount because the whole course is not done and I would request feedback. If you want to participate in the beta you can email me at Contact@heathermajors.com

Hi, the short answer is the email associated with the group must be in your companies global address list (GAL). If so you start typing the name of the group into the attendees field. For example, my test environment has a group email address called London Finance. I start typing London, it comes up and I click the name to add to the meeting. If you are not seeing a group when you type the name, it is usually because the email for the group was added to the GAL when the group was created. Most times it can be added after the fact by the Microsoft Admins, the IT staff, at your company. P.S. thank you for asking. This is an example of the curse of knowledge because I am so used to just typing names I forgot to say it out loud in the video. Polite and constructive comments like this help me help others better.

You're very welcome!

Glad you think so!

To add more times to an existing poll, go to the Scheduling Poll Dashboard > Select the poll > At the bottom of the existing times you can propose another time. The new time will be added to the list. If there is not a time for all participants after everyone has voted you can manually view the dashboard and pick the best option for most people and click Schedule Meeting.

In your example, if you only want to have availability on Monday only from 12 - 1 you need to adjust the default availability options. Go to the service > click edit service > Click second menu item Availability option > Scroll to the bottom of the dialog box to see Availability. There should be a chart that had dates and times for each day of the week. For every day but Monday click the Trash Can icon to delete availability. This will change what you see from time markers to the words Not bookable. On Monday change the time drop downs to reflect the times from 12 PM to 1 PM. If at a later date you need to add more times or date you simple click the plus sign next to the date to restore the option to add times to the day of the week.

@@HeatherMajors thank you! The booking system now works perfectly fine. Your tutorial has saved me and it's definitely something I'll be coming back to to make sure any future systems work well.

@@elenij.6682 So glad that I could help you find a solution. Thanks for letting me know it worked. It makes my day to hear about when something works out for you all.

You are on the right track but I would like to clarify just to make sure we are on the same page. Permissions flow from the top down. If you give editor access all the way at the top of the folder hierarchy using the default Editor set, it will flow down to all folders. It so happens that Inbox is on level 2 so you can give access to just Inbox. If your other folders are also on level 2 you should be able to permission them individually. If you have folders nested below Inbox on level 3 then you will need to use custom permissions to avoid editor access being inherited from level 2.

@@HeatherMajors Thank you so much for the clarification! So folders on level 2 are just regular folders - and Owner can limit their access, right? Given the inbox level 2 is delegated. While subfolders are level 3 - where permission cannot be configured, right? As long as they fall into the rule of their main level 2 folder. Trying to to understand if the Owner CEO for ex can delegate his inbox to his VA. For the VA to organize inbox mails into folders. While CEO still having his few chosen private folders non shared with VA Thank you so much! 🙌🏼

@@enfisya The level 3 folders can have different permissions, but you must set them up as custom; don't use the default settings. In your example, I would do one of two things. Set the inbox up with custom permissions and then individually set the level 3 folders so that the VA will only have access to what they need. Or I would make sure all of your folders are level 2 folders. For example, I set mine up so that Inbox is level 2, Webinars is level 2, and Collaboration Requests is Level 2. As compared to Inbox Level 2, Webinars Level 3, and so on. The only reason that I mention level 3 folders in the original post is people can often set up subfolders because they click create a new folder from the inbox by habit; it seems like the way to go and is a natural assumption. I, however always click create new folder from the word Folder. Many people think this is just a heading, but it actually has permissions behind it that are separate from the inbox.

@@HeatherMajors Ok, will test this out! Thank you very much! 🙌🏼

It sometimes seems like those shared mailboxes double overnight.

I had to do some digging for this one. Bottom line, the only way to hide attendee names is if you have a Teams Premium license. Then you will see a Hide Attendee name toggle button in the roles section of the meeting settings. If you don't see the toggle, your organization does not pay for a premium license.

Hi, this is perplexing because when I tested it again today booking a meeting on my Outlook calendar takes the time slot off my bookings calendar. To be clear though what happens is, if I book a call with you at 10 AM on my personal calendar it shows my time as busy. Then if I go to my bookings page where a coworker/customer would book time they will not see 10 AM as a slot, so the customer cannot double book my time. The tricky thing you alluded to is that if you go to the booking calendar it may not show that you have a personal appointment so it looks like the time slot is open. What is happening is Bookings and your Personal Calendar are talking to each other for the free/busy data. The sync to your personal calendar only goes one way. From booking to personal calendar. I hope that makes sense.

You're most welcome

Hi, after doing some quick testing, it is possible to send the poll outside your company. BUT you must turn of verify identity in the poll settings or they may not be able to access the voting option, the page will just spin. I did the test by sending the email to a Gmail account and an outlook account with another company, both required verify identity turned off.

Glad you like the lesson. Forms are useful in many ways. I hope you find some great ones for your work.

You are very welcome. Glad I could provide a learning together moment for a fellow trainer.

Hi Christinia, you make a good point that the max number of attendees can be set when the service is created but cannot be edited after the fact. I feel like that used to be a feature and wonder why it was changed. Microsoft and their mysterious ways.

Also thank you for sharing what you found so we can all learn together. That was great that you took the time and I appreciate it.

@@HeatherMajors I wasn’t able to set it during the setup phase. It was grayed out from the beginning.

@@ChristinaMindsetCoach now that is strange because I went and tested it in 2 Microsoft Accounts I have access to. Both allowed me to set the max attendees. Lets make sure we are taking the same steps. The calendar is set up. You open the calendar, go to services, and then click add a new service. In the field for max attendees, the up and down arrows should let you change the number of participants. If not, I would ask your IT department if there is something that they configured to restrict the application.
