Question about Team/Group Calendar
I’m curious if anyone has any answers or suggestions for the following scenario: Within my organization, I’d like to create a single M365 team containing all departments. Within MS Teams, each department would have its own Channel under that one all-encompassing team, where they could schedule meetings, communicate, share files, etc. Each department has roughly 5 team members and there are 8 departments, so let’s say this all-encompassing team will contain 40-45 members total. Each department schedules weekly status meetings. My vision is to have a single shared calendar containing weekly status meetings of all departments, and I’d like for all team members across all departments to be able to see that shared calendar, but here’s the challenge: I don’t want each team member to have all department meetings display on their own work calendar, so they’re not confused as to what meetings they actually need to join versus just be aware of, but only display meetings they are individually invited to. I would however like if they had the ability to see all team meetings if they are looking at the greater Team/Group calendar in Outlook. I also don’t want all team members to be notified about other department/channel meetings, for example if it’s cancelled or rescheduled. I only want them notified about meetings they as an individual are invited to. Is there functionality or workarounds that support this scenario? Thanks in advance!
Can we detach Viva Connections from teams ?
Hello Everyone , Is there a way that we can create Viva Connections as a separate application (Detached from MS Teams) ? It would be helpful because we need it to be a standalone not to be linked in MS teams. Also Please enlighten me if we can create a Sharepoint Site as a windows/mac desktop application. It would be great to know thanks.
How to exclude none Entra registered devices from 365 app update
Hi, Looking for some advice if possible, we have been using the 365 app update for all of our devices and the inventory has imported our Citrix virtual machines, the knowledge base articles suggest to exclude these through an Entra AD group, We are unable to do this as these machines are not Entra registered, they just have 365 apps installed on them. These VM's are none persistent and the updates have been causing issue to users during the day when working so we have paused the update on all devices for now. Thanks in advance!Need Suggestions in implementing Employee Experience using MSOffice 365 tools
Hey Everyone, I'm eager to develop a universal portal for certain users, resembling a webpage with a more intuitive user interface and a more robust user experience. What pre-built solutions within the Microsoft Office 365 suite could facilitate this? I want to host it as a Desktop application as well as a website. As per my analysis: 1) Sharepoint Online - A better handy solution - But I need to customise a lot. Not a ready made solution. 2) Power Pages - I dont have much knowledge on this one. 3) Viva Connections - It does solves those problems. But it mainly depends on MS Teams. I need it to be detached from Teams. Thanks in advance !Need some help in deciding the office 365 tool

User Authentication Bandwith
We have proposed M365 Apps for enterprise for one of the BFSI Customer. They currently use Proxy server for Connecting across internet. They have doubts if their Current setup would be able to match the authentication bandwidth requirement for M365 Apps. Do we have any idea on how much bandwidth is consumed when the user is authenticated in M365 Apps??
onenote
Hey, I have used OneNote for more than 4 years, though this time I have lost lots of my notebooks, and in frustration went forth and back between OneNote and pen and paper. OneNote is a great tool, but I don’t feel secure using it, I would like to get that feeling of security. Right now, my notebooks are shattered over different notebook versions and different accounts due to OneNote's shift from OneNote 2016 to OneNote 10 and back and the natural shift from primary school to high school. I need a way to combine all my OneNote, so they are synchronized and saved both on my OneNote desktop and on my OneNote profile on the internet. I need to be able to make a backup of my OneNote as a PDF or word file that is readable, and I can save on my computer, so I will always have my notes even If problems, deletion of a version, or changes of a version happens to OneNote. I also need the ability to give a copy of my notes away, in such a way that when the receiver gets the notes the copy of the note will be theirs and they can change the notes as much as they want without affecting my version of the note. The receiver should still have the notebook even If my version expires or I lose access. I really hope you can help me achieve these things so I Can have use of the powerful tools of OneNote in the future without stress or fear of losing my notes. I hope I can help others in my generation with this problem when I have learned how to deal with it from you.Excel Windows Client co-authoring
Hey everyone - I have read a few other posts on this topic, but none of them seem to be a smoking gun for me. I am trying to co-author an excel document with other members of my team. We are all running version 16.0.8431.2242. Here is how we are attempting: 1. We have an excel document that is part of an Office 365 Group. 2. The O365 group is synced to our machine using OneDrive for Business. 3. The excel file has been shared with the members of the team. 4. Whenever we attempt to get more than 1 person in the file, the additional authors receive a message that the file is locked for editing. According to what I have been reading, the version we are running should support co-authoring in the windows client app, correct? I haven't seen many mentions of attempting this via groups / OFB - but if that is what is causing the issue - how should we be doing this? Thanks SteveOffice ProPlus access to Group Files? Don't see my groups. Ref: April Updates for Insiders
In the April 2017 Insider Update I read about easy access to Group files: Quickly access your sites and groups Use the File menu to work with documents, workbooks, and presentations, and stored in your frequently used sites and groups. Now, I am on insider releases, both for Office desktop apps and Office 365 backend. But I don't see group files in my Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It's july, so I start to wonder if I'm missing something. Do I need to turn something on, change a setting? Do some active stuff in my groups to make this visible? What I see is a long list of yellow folders from my SharePoint, grouped by "Last Week" and "older".
