November 2021 Microsoft Teams Product Update #OTSTWIT E39

This Week in Teams, Craig and Jay jump into the November 2021 Microsoft Teams Team product blog where ALL the goodies that were announced for commercial and US Government tenants. Following the lead from last month, we review the Government announcements before discussing the full commercial tenant releases.

Craig and Jay started out talking about Craig's meeting scheduling habit of 45 minutes versus 1 hour minute meetings. Craig schedules them to start 5 minutes after the hour and goes to 10 minutes before the hour (11:05 am - 11:50 am). He says the first 5 minutes are always spent waiting for everyone and his customers appreciate the 10-minute break before their next meetings. They then talked about MS Ignite and how Jay felt underwhelmed by the announcements compared to past Ignites while Craig added that he didn't have time to spend on it virtually and would much rather preferred to be in person.
