SharePoint Sherpas: Episode 22 – Microsoft Cloud News

April 06, 2017

Show Notes for Episode 22 - Microsoft Cloud News
In Episode 22, the SharePoint Sherpas discuss various news about the Microsoft cloud (Office 365, Azure). It's been a long time since the last show (sorry about that), so there's a lot to talk about. Michael and Brian discuss recovering Office 365 Groups, updates to Skype for Business Online, Microsoft Teams, Brian's recent experience with Teams and Planner, co-authoring in Excel, extending the Microsoft Graph, hybrid self-service site collection creation in SharePoint 2013, Office 365 Video, the Azure Resource Manager template reference, and Azure PCI DSS v3.2 compliancy. And, of course, Michael talks about video gaming.
Additionally, Michael and Brian briefly discuss decreasing the frequency of episodes. It ends up that it can be quite difficult coming up with good, useful content for the listeners. If anybody has any ideas for show topics, please contact the Sherpas at sharepointsherpas@summit7systems.com, Tweet them at https://twitter.com/SPSherpas (@SPSherpas), or post on the SharePoint Sherpa Show Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sharepointsherpas. Heck, they'd just love to know that somebody out there is listening and finding it useful. As always, feel free to send any questions as well.
