This is very useful in all hands / … Continue reading Teams Meetings: video spotlight (pin a meeting participant)
Teamsiin ilmestyi viime viikolla jälleen uusi käyttökelpoinen ominaisuus: pikakokous (Järjestä kokous nyt). Painike tähän löytyy kalenterista. Kokouksen aloittaminen on helppoa - napsauttaa vain "Järjestä kokous nyt"-painiketta ja valitsee tuttuun tapaan omat laiteasetukset. Kokous saa automaattisesti nimekseen "Tapaaminen järjestäjän Vesa Nopanen kanssa" - otsikon voi kuitenkin muuttaa itse mieleisekseen. Tämän jälkeen kokous toimii kuten aikataulutettu Teams-kokous. … Continue reading Kokous … Pikakokous!
