Hello folks, welcome back to the Keep productive YouTube channel today's feature
I will be passing over to Matt from collaboration coach who will be guiding you through all of the next and latest
editions of Microsoft Office 365
I think this is going to be the perfect way to summarize what features are going to be added to
Microsoft's lineup of products and give you an idea of all you need to know now if you've not checked out
Collaboration coach here on YouTube, please do subscribe he does fantastic
Overviews of Microsoft tools. You can also check out his courses below as well. So big thanks to Matt for putting this together
So without further ado guys, let's jump into
Hello, this is Matt from collaboration coach. Thanks for having me back on key productive over
On my channel we've started doing a monthly video. What's new and coming up in office? 365
We're calling this radar and I've put together a short edit of some of the recent content for you here
If you want to see more than head over to the collaboration coach channel, so here we go
Let's have a look at some new features for Microsoft teams
This is the new look for the files tab I can go to any channel
so here I'm on general and I've gone to the files tab and you can see here the
Look of the files page is different. We've got some editions that weren't available previously and
To do these things we'd have to go into SharePoint. So open up a browser and go off to SharePoint
So for example, there's the sync button. So now we can sync our
SharePoint libraries to onedrive sync client through teams previously. We had to go into a browser
Another thing we've got up here is this view menu. So all documents is the default
I can drop it down and I can choose tile view for example
That's something else we couldn't do until now
We can also edit the view so we can change it and add new columns
So for example in this general library, I've added a return to label : so I can see the retentions labels
Straight out of teams. Another thing that's been added is the ability to check out through team
so now I can right-click the file go to the more menu and choose check out which then checks the file out and
Marks it with a little red icon with an arrow in it
If I want to check it back in I just go more and check in or I can discard the check out as well
Next up is pinning channels in teams
When you're a member of loss teams, it's sometimes hard to find the channel you're looking for
Channel pinning is a way to put the channels that you use most at the top of your list of team
So they're easy to get to
Just find the channel that you want to pin
Right-click it choose pin and it will appear at the top of the list
Now when you create new channels
You can make them private so that only some members of the team can see the files and the posts inside
These are called private channels
now when you add a new channel
You can choose whether the channel is private or standard
When you choose private you can then choose which members of the team should be able to see the new channel
You will also see a little padlock icon to illustrate the fact that is private
Lastly in teams. There's the ability to run a quick poll in a post
So you can do this from an existing post
so if you come to the ellipsis on a post and choose more actions and create a new poll or
you can start from a new post by hitting this forms button here and
Basically, it's using Microsoft Forms to create a new poll. You can have up to six options and
You pose a question and then you give a bunch of options to your team to choose from
You can have multiple answers and when you're done
You send it to the post and then it's available for everyone to vote on
All they need to do is choose their option hit submit vote and the results are displayed just below the poll in the results window
So there you are
That was an excerpt from radar our new monthly video to keep you informed on what's up and coming in office 365
