I love your channel. All your teachings are always so easy to follow straight to the point. No rambling. This is definitely your calling. Thank you for always doing these amazing videos.
It is entirely a different world when you explain any app vs someone (anyone) else. I really feel obligated to leave a comment aside from thumbs up because you make whole lotta difference. Great all MS Teams videos and all others. (I wish I have all the time in the world to watch them all) :) ...P.S. Keep making them forever.
I love your Microsoft Teams vids and the windows tips and tricks as well as office 365 tips and tricks ! You have helped me a lot in this "work from home situation". Keep up with the good work and I'm looking forward to trying cookies from your company ;)
Brilliant video as always. Couple of comments, which I believe vital when I assign a task to anyone: 1- no place to ad time of the task, so when connect to the Outlook it books the entire day for that task. 2- Where do add address details? If I want to give two tasks to someone at two different location and time. I will be grateful for your feedback and advice if there is a way round this.
Thanks for all the great content Kevin. I found a Flow that sends flagged emails to Planner. It’s the solution I’m using until Flagged emails gets added to the Tasks app. Keep up the good work
Any idea when MS were looking to integrate planner/tasks into your own personal outlook Calendar Kevin? This is a critical step I don’t believed MS have yet bridged if people still work primarily from their calendars. Thanks in advance. Keep up the great vids
Thank you for this video it was more than helpful and perfectly presented! One thing i need help understanding is, is there a way to mark that the task has been opened/started working on like processing or there is only option to mark it done?
It is December 13, 2022, and there are still no flagged emails in Tasks see 7:00 - I would love that feature. Same also with tasks from OneNote. Great video though.
Thanks for the great video, it is very clear and useful. I am trying to find out what can be done if someone from a team deletes a task from a bucket. It that had valuable comments to it and is a big loss. How can it be restored?
Hey, Kevin. i am one of your old subscriber. i love the way you teach, so easily understanble way. just want to know is there any way i can add multiple tasks of different times in one go to micrsoft to do. If it is it will help me out really. please guide.
Kevin... had a question from a supervisor about Tasks by Planner. This particular supervisor has requested a way in Teams to be able to see a COMPLETE EXHAUSTIVE LIST of every tasks within multiple channels in multiple teams, no matter who they are assigned to. I have not found a way to do this since each team is compartmentalized. Do you know of a way to view a complete list of tasks that span multiple teams/channels? This person needs to see the progress of all tasks within various teams and does not want to have to click on each channel within each team to see those task lists. Thank you!!
I love your videos! Can you do a video on how to delete tasks in bulk without having to do it one by one? I need to select a batch of tasks (not all) and delete them but I don’t know how do to it. This would be very helpful.
Thank you very much. I remember when my last job started using teams and we hated it. Now that I am in a new place I can not believe how much i have missed and the opportunities that are being missed. The tasks and buckets were always made and then we just got them assigned to us. This was very helpful so i can try and set it up correctly. If anyone knows how you can or even of you still can create a template for tasks and buckets still I would love a link to learn that as well. Thanks again.
Your videos have been so useful as we learn to use Teams to work from home this past year! We've just started using Tasks & Planner in Teams, and I still haven't figured out how to let people who assign tasks to me get a notification when I've completed the task - is that possible? THANK YOU!!
Great video. As a program owner, I'd like to see all tasks for a given person across multiple 'plans' is that possible? Using filters you can only see one plan at a time.
Thanks great video, how about I have 5 people in my team, lets say they have the same task to complete individually like deliver cards, how do I assign them the same task and I want to know who has started and finished individually? I dont want that the task says completed if only one has done it. I want to know individually. Thanks
They do not have the same task. They all have individual tasks with similar activities. You would have to assign an individual task to each of them "deliver cards".. That way you can track the progress individually.
Hi Kevin - please do make a video on creating a chevron slide or a Gantt chart for showing the timelines or process of an engagement with checkpoints. Love your work!
Thanks Kevin for this comprehensive and short video to let me know the Planner's functions easily. Hope you can share some tips in Teams linked online Sharepoint function e.g. access control at different level (Folder, Team, Channel etc.), apps added inside Teams, and Sharepoint like Calendar, Notes. in a word, some popular tools for project management. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the information. a quick questions, any chance to get the list in excel or .csv so that I can have my chart report myself , says after I put so many tasks into the planners for my different staff under different channel, buckets , etc. FYI, I can use PowerBI (havn't learned) ... would it even easier. Thanks for your advice. Regards,
Thank you for a great video. I am really missing being able to associate an email in Outlook or files in Teams/OneDrive or a Team wiki page with a task, my own personal ones and ones that I have in Planner and am collaborating on with others. Do you know if this is something that will be coming to the tools? That more comprehensive and seamless integration will, I think, translate into a much smoother user experience.
Nice video. To Do + Planner works great, but it's amazing that (@7:09) the option to archive (not delete) a task list is not possible on either To Do or Planner/Tasks. Archiving lists has been an open "under consideration" feature request for Microsoft To Do for three years.
Hi Kevin is there a way to either lock due dates for when you assign a task, or to be notified should someone change a due date for a task assigned to them
Kevin, when everyone in a group needs to complete the same task, for example "submit month end report", is there a way to have each individual person check off that the task is complete within the same task? Currently when I add multiple people to the task, it becomes inactive as soon as the first person marks it complete. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for your video, Kevin. How can I do the "Published list" then? It's really vivid to see how they are being completed with the horizontal bar.
Hi Kevin, I have a question, If my channel within Teams is private I don't see the option to select it and assign task to that specific channel. Why? I want to assign tasks that should only visible for those who relate to that specific channel.
Planner is useless in the business world because, Microsoft failed to start with the basics, "permissions". Any user is capable of deleting, modifying and moving tasks. For this reason I can't see any use for it.
With new outlook we are gettin possibility to convert emails into tasks. But its then on my personal list. Is there an option to transfer thosr tasks into planner? Ir create planner entries directly from outlook email?
On a related note, maybe you can answer a question for me that Microsoft has not done a very good job addressing for me. I use Outlook and ToDo. I do not want my Tasks in ToDo to appear on the Task list in Outlook. Is there a way to prevent it?
No there is no way to do so. MS To Do will ultimately replace all task management for personal use, i.e. the personal outlook tasks as well as One Note tasks (at least by linking all of them together)
Is it possible to include in the tasks fields a formula such as vlookup to extract data from a excel spreadsheet that keep the records of different projects. For example I want to extract or filter from excel job list a Project Number and project Name. Thank you so much
Hi Kevin, can you demonstrate how we can import task list from external app/software to Mircrosoft Tasks like Jira or can we export our Microsoft Tasks to excel/csv?
When assigning tasks to one individual person, but the task sits within a channel with multiple people, can all see that assigned task assignment or just the person with the assigned task?
@Kevin Stratvert does MS have any tool for Resource management? Preferably with task management for said resource and resource allocation views/heat map so that you staff or move tasked from people that have to much on them. A big bonus if can be integrated into Teams.
Hi Kevin, I really enjoy all your videos! Thank you! I’m stuck at work and nobody seems to know the answer. Is it possible to have the “task” app added to a specific channel in teams? As opposed to having it under “General”? Any comments or idea you may have about this would be much appreciated! 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video Kevin. Is there a way to create a project tasks template? Let's say if most of my projects follow the same core steps. Can I premake the buckets and tasks so I can just create a new project from the template?
I wish you could customize the columns (customize categories). Type of task (customized), requestor, etc. Kind of like a to do list cue and share with others showing you are here on the list. And a way to align it by priority formula or logic you set. From highest to lowest
Thanks Kevin, is there a way to move tasks from the personal folder to the shared tasks folder? Or I have to create a new activity from zero? Is copying possible? Thanks
⏭ Here's a playlist of all my videos on Teams: th-cam.com/play/PLlKpQrBME6xJ4Mxv00syl8iOSgL-GVLMG.html
Thanks! This is awesome, simple and easy-to-learn video..
I love your channel. All your teachings are always so easy to follow straight to the point. No rambling. This is definitely your calling. Thank you for always doing these amazing videos.
so my company/institution finally bought license for some microsoft 365 apps and especially Teams, now these videos are essential to me
It is entirely a different world when you explain any app vs someone (anyone) else. I really feel obligated to leave a comment aside from thumbs up because you make whole lotta difference.

Well structured video, this will assist greatly in the workspace. Great Content.
Most positive person with such an amazing skill set. Thanks brother for all this information
Perfect video, direct to the point!!!😁
Thanks for all the great content Kevin. I found a Flow that sends flagged emails to Planner. It’s the solution I’m using until Flagged emails gets added to the Tasks app. Keep up the good work
Cool idea.
@Daniel Theroux how do you keep your flagged emails private in the plan you created? Did you create a Group + Team + Channel with only one member?
I love you for covering MIcrosoft Teams, i need to learn this!
Well done, Kevin, appreciate your effort.
Congratulations Kevin! What a nice and organized way of explaining MS Teams functions and resources! For sure I will look for the other videos!
Thank you so much for this walk through! I was trying to answer the question of whether there were other priority levels.
Kevin, you really rock! Your videos are well explained, easy to follow and very useful. Thank you.
Excellent video. Thanks Kevin.
Any idea when MS were looking to integrate planner/tasks into your own personal outlook Calendar Kevin? This is a critical step I don’t believed MS have yet bridged if people still work primarily from their calendars. Thanks in advance. Keep up the great vids
awesome contents. it help me getting started for the new job
Very fruitful subject and nice explanation. Thanks!
Thank you for this video it was more than helpful and perfectly presented! One thing i need help understanding is, is there a way to mark that the task has been opened/started working on like processing or there is only option to mark it done?

Great video though.
Hi, do tasks created in outlook appear here? Thanks 😊
Super demo as always!!!
Thanks for the great video, it is very clear and useful. I am trying to find out what can be done if someone from a team deletes a task from a bucket. It that had valuable comments to it and is a big loss. How can it be restored?
Excellent tutorial. Thank you

OMG! I am literally watching this video on October 14, 2021. One year after it was downloaded.
Great video, Kevin! Thank you!

Great video. As a program owner, I'd like to see all tasks for a given
person across multiple 'plans' is that possible? Using filters you can
only see one plan at a time.
wow! what a great video. So precise and accurate. Thank you!
Great Kevin, appreciate for your sharing, would ask you how can i delete new list or plan created?
This helps a lot! Thank you but I would like to know if there's a way that it will have a pop notification if the task is about to be completed?
Thanks great video, how about I have 5 people in my team, lets say they have the same task to complete individually like deliver cards, how do I assign them the same task and I want to know who has started and finished individually?
I dont want that the task says completed if only one has done it. I want to know individually.

Same question
They do not have the same task. They all have individual tasks with similar activities. You would have to assign an individual task to each of them "deliver cards".. That way you can track the progress individually.
Whenever my team looks for info regarding msteams we always do the home alone mom's frantic scream for "KEVIN"!
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Very good video and organization
Thanks Kevin. Is there a hack for creating a recurring event/task? Great content you provide. I've watched several of your videos!
Love these videos - Thanks - ?? Can i copy the tasks from one event, in April, to a new event, In October, that has the same task list?
Thank you Kevin for the video. Do you know how to change the "group by Due Date" as the default when I click "Board" ? Thanks
Thanks for this. My company is using Teams more so i'm trying to become familiar.
Great video as usual. Keep up the good work!
@Kevin What’s the difference between planner and milestones looks very similar? As always good stuff!
my supervisor and I would love to do this in a private channel where only us two can see the tasks. Is that possible?
Hi and thanks for your great information . I have created a task and defined some items for it. How can I add subitem to every item?
Hi Kevin - please do make a video on creating a chevron slide or a Gantt chart for showing the timelines or process of an engagement with checkpoints. Love your work!
This is an awesome video. thank you!!
Thanks Kevin for this comprehensive and short video to let me know the Planner's functions easily.

Kevin, thanks for the great video. Can you show me how to create the Task list for Hidden/Private channels?
Congrats for your work.

Hi Kevin is there a way to either lock due dates for when you assign a task, or to be notified should someone change a due date for a task assigned to them
Hello. Thank you for sharing your videos. Suggestion: Tutorial of work plan with dashboard in excel. Thank you!
Kevin, when everyone in a group needs to complete the same task, for example "submit month end report", is there a way to have each individual person check off that the task is complete within the same task? Currently when I add multiple people to the task, it becomes inactive as soon as the first person marks it complete. Thanks!!
Thank you! This video was super helpful!
If I create a task in one of my channels, can other members of the channel assign themselves to the task?
I always stay tuned ....for kevin's awesome and very helpful videos!!♥
Thank you so much for your video, Kevin. How can I do the "Published list" then? It's really vivid to see how they are being completed with the horizontal bar.
Hi Kevin, I have a question, If my channel within Teams is private I don't see the option to select it and assign task to that specific channel. Why? I want to assign tasks that should only visible for those who relate to that specific channel.
Planner is useless in the business world because, Microsoft failed to start with the basics, "permissions". Any user is capable of deleting, modifying and moving tasks. For this reason I can't see any use for it.
Don't you have more fundamental problems if your people are intentionally deleting tasks you assign them? I may be missing something. All the best.
Not only that it also doesn’t provide any time stamp on comment so you can track the dates
Sounds to me that drives ownership and accountability.
Will there be a re-occurring feature? Let say I needed to have a task for the last day of every month...
With new outlook we are gettin possibility to convert emails into tasks. But its then on my personal list. Is there an option to transfer thosr tasks into planner? Ir create planner entries directly from outlook email?
Thanks again a great video. Really helpful. Mindful that this is relevant for a paid version of teams not Teams (free)
Great explanation! Anyone knows how to distribute the tasks to the teams? How they get alerted? Thanks
That was super helpful!
On a related note, maybe you can answer a question for me that Microsoft has not done a very good job addressing for me. I use Outlook and ToDo. I do not want my Tasks in ToDo to appear on the Task list in Outlook. Is there a way to prevent it?
No there is no way to do so. MS To Do will ultimately replace all task management for personal use, i.e. the personal outlook tasks as well as One Note tasks (at least by linking all of them together)
can you do one to change the task checklist to percentage based outputs ?
Is it possible to include in the tasks fields a formula such as vlookup to extract data from a excel spreadsheet that keep the records of different projects. For example I want to extract or filter from excel job list a Project Number and project Name. Thank you so much
Thanks! Can you please suggest how to delete or rename the new list which I've created?
Hi Kevin, can you demonstrate how we can import task list from external app/software to Mircrosoft Tasks like Jira or can we export our Microsoft Tasks to excel/csv?
When assigning tasks to one individual person, but the task sits within a channel with multiple people, can all see that assigned task assignment or just the person with the assigned task?

This looks cool. thanks.
Great work !
Is board view available for "my tasks" or is it only viewable in a team where there more members?
Hi Kevin, I really enjoy all your videos! Thank you! I’m stuck at work and nobody seems to know the answer. Is it possible to have the “task” app added to a specific channel in teams? As opposed to having it under “General”? Any comments or idea you may have about this would be much appreciated! 🙏🏼
Seems like there is no app named planner or tasks from microsoft in the apps now. Is it under a different name?
Thanks for the video Kevin. Is there a way to create a project tasks template? Let's say if most of my projects follow the same core steps. Can I premake the buckets and tasks so I can just create a new project from the template?
Can you do a video on managing notifications in Teams?
I just asked the same thing because of the quirks with guests and teams lacking connection to a ms group!
Thank you!
I wish you could customize the columns (customize categories). Type of task (customized), requestor, etc.
Kind of like a to do list cue and share with others showing you are here on the list. And a way to align it by priority formula or logic you set. From highest to lowest
multiple project task addition on daily basis required, can to do automatic catch from outlook this system may be good effect on same todo
Thanks Kevin, is there a way to move tasks from the personal folder to the shared tasks folder? Or I have to create a new activity from zero? Is copying possible? Thanks
