Office 365 updates & practical tips
A recurring video format built around the same problem I kept seeing in the Microsoft ecosystem: too much change, too much noise, and not enough help deciding what actually mattered.
WATCH / LISTEN / REWIND
Media
Some of the work survives as decks. Some survives as old event pages. Some survives on YouTube. This is the stuff you can still watch.

Friday Special — Adding attendees to Outlook meetings
One of the practical Office 365 videos that travelled furthest beyond the immediate community.

The Isolation Conversation
Talking through remote work while everybody was living it
A conversation series during lockdown, with guests from Microsoft, Deloitte, Avanade and the wider community. Remote work, wellbeing, education, communities, development, Power Platform and what came next.
A lot of this was made with whatever camera, mic and spare evening happened to exist.
Which is part of why I like keeping it. It is a record of learning and explaining in public, not a polished media campaign reconstructed later.
