Hello and welcome to Microsoft Mechanics live.
Coming up on the show were to take a look
at Surface Hub as a Microsoft 365 powered device that enables new ways
for teamwork with hub to hub white board coauthoring capabilities
available for OneDrive and Windows 10.
We're also going to show you how easily you can get your most recently used
files and also content shared with you by Office 365
as well as a simplified management experience using things like Microsoft Intune.
But today I'm joined by Nydia Cavazos.
Hello everyone really nice to be here thank you, thank you.
If you're not familiar with the Surface Hub here it's basically it's a large screen experience
for collaboration.
It's a device that integrates video and audio conferencing,
wireless content sharing,
quick access to all your Office 365 documents and of course white boarding.
It runs on Windows 10, it uses Windows 10 apps and our web browser Microsoft Edge so
Surface Hub is really a great example of a Microsoft 365 powered device.
Yeah that's exactly right and let me dig deeper into what Microsoft 365 is.
This basically enables us to create a tailored set of capabilities across Windows 10
Office 365 and Enterprise Mobility + Security all of this to boost
the teamwork and creativity in your company always with the latest security deck and in a way
that is easy for you to manage.
You might be wondering now what if I already have all the services right Windows 10
Office 365 and EMS.
If that's the case that's absolutely great you already have all you need to provide the
best user and management experience.
Right so let's get started with the user experience
because there's a big focus in terms of Microsoft 365 and how it enables teamwork
most people might be used to how to use a Windows 10 PC
we just saw how you logged into one does the second ago
how does not experience then compare to the Surface Hub
The Surface Hub is a communal device, it is designed for team collaboration
it goes beyond the PC experience
and the PC then becomes your companion device
in this case were used in this beautiful Surface Studio
as our companion device but by the way it can be any Windows device, even a Mac.
As you will see here
you see wired or wireless connection
we're going to be able to start
collaborating using touch back.
Such as so
And in doing that I'm I'm able to control my Surface Studio via the Surface Hub
and all the changes that we do here get saved as we go
using touch back here I'm going to leverage one of the latest capabilities of Office 365
which enables us to insert visualize and manipulate 3D images which is pretty cool.
So even here.
I'm going to set this Hubble in the right position where I wanted to be
and please notice how everything was mirrored and saved in my Surface Studio.
Beyond touchback we also have in back
and that allows us to maybe add some notes or some design to what we're doing.
So now that I've set this image where I wanted
I've covered up my titles so I'm gonna. I'm going fine here too.
set a note for later and move this a little bit to my left.
Remember everything is being saved in my companion device so when we disconnect I can carry my
device and all the changes with me basically we can turn any of this device this into amazing
scene large screen that's ink and touch enabled.
Let me explain how that worked here if you don't mind if I geek out
Geek out please
so we got a couple of options to connect us service thirty out studio back with the surface
hub now the thing that you can do is either use Miracast or you can use the cable like
we've done here in this case has got a lot of competing in our wireless signals of the
contend with so in this case what happened as we connect by USB cable and actually you
detected all the peripheral so we can see the digitizer we can see if there's a keyboard
if there's any other like a USB mouse for example all of that that gets transmitted
back to the PC that's connecting second being normal laptop in a meeting or it can
be the service do you like yeah here and the nice thing is we don't walk like all the way
back to the end of the meeting room or wherever that device is we can just make changes here
and collaborate with other people on the same device.
Yeah he can even be a divisive doesn't have touch enabled screen or doesn't allow even
you can have all of that by connecting it to the surface up pretty good.
Right move through some of the experiences that you can do when you connect that he sees
to it but even get far more powerful in terms of using Office 365
Yeah that's correct Surface how has the show variation of Windows then so when the sun
diminution we can actually look many market by Billy is when we sign in to Office 365
be at the start
We can simply go here.
And very easily go into my meetings and files I have all resigned in here but as you can
see I have very quick access.
If you're wondering we also support multi factor authentication.
Now I'm going to go ahead and peak at one of my recently use files right here.
Right and I'm going to bring.
One of the sites I want to start cooperating not to do that.
I'm going to bring this into my whiteboard canvas.
One of selected.
And I'll have it right here.
This is a room space right the first thing that I want to do is add so more entrances
to the space to improve the flow.
For that I'm gonna use the wide port ruler which allows me to very easily.
Draw straight lines.
I mean I could have done that without rumor and fear because well I want my new entrances
that's pretty good.
But beyond that I also want to add some space to the stage here and for that I'm going to
use that into chat feature.
So this allows me to draw a quite mediocre shape but the white board is going to instantaneously
converted this into the perfect rectangle.
On top of that.
If I click on it I'm immediately going to be able to see the angles and then I can continue
manipulating his shape until I leave it exactly where he needs to go.
Anon I may make changes.
Very cool so that's interaction here in the room but what if somebody is maybe outside
of this location there on the shop floor there across the world is there anywhere I can collaborate
with others that might have a hub.
I have exactly the thing for us.
We almost need to work with someone that you know on in another location a very frequently
right and for that we have hub to hub whiteboard collaboration.
So continuing with the space which by the way happens to be the exact same location
where we're standing where you guys are sitting right I want to discuss some of these changes
with my event specialist Anna.
Think that a lot of things have to going to the signing of space like this there's cameras
lighting seating right so I really don't know these changes are going to apply.
Anna's already being able to collaborate with me via Skype on this call and I have shared
my white board with her so Anna if you're right there can you please tell me if this changes
are approved or not.
Okay no.
No.
That's perfect I''m not a designer but.
Absolutely is good for you guys to have more space.
The floor around so.
That's great we're going to go with that and I was real-time collaboration.
Very cood so she liked half of what you wanted to know about the rest of it so that by goes
in terms of a collaboration experiences and things that you can do between your PC and
and the service ha but why don't we switch gears a little bit and talk about the IT admin
experience because we got a story there in terms of all the things that you would do
in terms of being able to manage it things like being able to customize these device
from the out of box experience and using things like USB drives forgettable I'm setting up
tens or maybe twenty of these the hub devices that I and a building our site we can do all
of that with some automation and deployment profiles men we can even up level the management
if we use I'm the I'm infrastructure to do that but someone other areas should people
be aware of when I think of managing the service on.
The most important thing about surface called in terms of manageability is that it needs
to be managed ask a more like a mobile device that means we need to use an MDM tool
in this case we are using Intune to monitor Surface Hub.
The service also allows you to create group I means to manage and deploy your devices.
You can also deploy apps from the Windows Store it using your I mean accounts and
keep in mind that the apps are going to be best suited to run on this device
are going to have this symbol right there.
And nothing that requires elevated privilege just can run on the Hub all this is for security
purposes right so most of the malware vectors are going to be prevented from even installing
on the hub.
Right he mentions something else that's different with service how compared to PCS or even mobile
devices and that this is generally a shared device that others are gonna be able to use
walk up to have whiteboarding sessions what we have to know their.
We've designed Surface Hub so that he's really easy to move from user to user we wipe out
everything so that the next person that comes doesn't have access to your whiteboarding,
your browsing history, or your credentials right but of course you can customize all
these behaviors for example you can define to allow users to go back and resumed their
previous session or if you want to be extra safe you can set this up to always wipe
out all your data and ensure that you know there's nothing left there for anyone to see
all of these features can be always enabled or disabled using your management tool for
large scale devices.
Right, and these are all admin controlled settings, so you need to log in as an admin these are just a couple
examples of things like a timeout when the devices gunnery sets of for example of it's
in like an executive meeting room and it's only used by that one person they might want
to set the time out with a lot longer in terms of being able to verses it got an a if the
hallway or something in the world communal shared space then it's gonna be a bit more
aggressive typically in their other settings like VPN and proxy server settings that are
part of that set up and customization experience.
Correct and sometimes the user can forget to end their sessions so we can always ensure that.
Even if that's the case will would wipe out all the data.
I was really great quick tour in terms the highlights for Surface Hub the connected
Microsoft 365 powered device.
You can learn more about Surface Hub and access really the full list of new features
including admins guide links that we are going to show at the end of the session.
So thanks for joining us on this on this quick tour
but what else can you impart upon our audience?
