Ignite 2021 is Next Week. Here’s What I Anticipate for Microsoft 365 https://practical365.com/ignite-2021-sessions-towatch/ https://practical365.com/ignite-2021-sessions-towatch/#comments Tue, 26 Oct 2021 21:59:00 +0000 https://practical365.com/?p=53761 Microsoft Ignite 2021 happens (virtually) on Nov 2-4. There are tons of sessions scheduled and in this post we consider some important Microsoft 365 topics that we hope Microsoft will cover to help technologists plan tenant development over the coming year. Above all, we're looking forward to being able to attend conferences like Ignite in person so that we can learn from experts from inside and outside Microsoft.

Microsoft Updates Viva Insights App with Wellbeing Features https://practical365.com/viva-insights-app-wellbeing-features/ https://practical365.com/viva-insights-app-wellbeing-features/#respond Fri, 14 May 2021 08:13:00 +0000 https://practical365.com/?p=51305 A new version of the Microsoft Viva Insights app for Teams includes some of the promised wellbeing functionality designed to help stressed users get through the work day more easily. You can praise co-workers, learn to breathe and relax, note your current state of wellness, and take a virtual commute to wrap up the working day. Some people will love the app, others will wonder what the fuss is all about. It's a very personal thing, which I guess is the nature of Viva Insights.
