Dear readers, ??
As you read this, I'm already on my way to Switzerland for a late summer vacation, where I'll be exploring panoramic trains that traverse the breathtaking Swiss landscapes. Stay tuned for tales of alpine adventures and picturesque views in the upcoming issues!
While August typically embraces a leisurely atmosphere in Southern Europe, my days have been filled with work engagements throughout the month. With everyone transitioning back to work mode, I'm thrilled to bring you a compilation of updates and features to enhance your productivity within Microsoft 365.
After receiving the Microsoft MVP award for the fifth time last month, I'm excited to share that I've been nominated for the UK Community Awards in the “Modern Work Evangelist” category this August. Being included in this list is truly an honor. I want to extend a heartfelt shout-out to all my fellow nominees – your unwavering dedication serves as a constant source of inspiration.
Hands-On SharePoint
Just as I meticulously timed the publication of this newsletter, SharePoint offers an exceptional scheduling feature for managing news and pages effectively. This month, I wrote a comprehensive tutorial that walks you through the process of enabling and utilizing the page scheduling functionality within SharePoint sites.
Say hello to a SharePoint game-changing feature – news templates meticulously crafted to conquer the Outlook challenge. Seamlessly merging form and function, these templates promise to revolutionize your email aesthetic, with the already user-friendly SharePoint editor, the process of creating visually appealing emails is now not only achievable but enjoyable.
As you transition back to work following your well-deserved vacation, here's a thoughtful gesture from SharePoint: the ability to infuse a touch of personalization into your SharePoint and OneDrive folders using colors. What's even more exciting is that this customization seamlessly extends to Microsoft Teams as well. This feature is now progressively being introduced worldwide. If you're eager to explore how it functions, I invite you to delve into the detailed article below.
As always, I provided a comprehensive recap of all the exciting announcements made by Microsoft for SharePoint and related technologies in July. If you're eager to stay ahead and get a glimpse of what's coming in the next months, make sure to check out the link below.?
Hands-On Teams
Viva Amplify is set to become generally available in mid-September. You’ll start seeing the service plans lighting up your admin dashboard at the beginning of September, with the full rollout expected to wrap up by October. I've shared a detailed article covering all the essentials about the upcoming integration of this new application into the Microsoft Viva suite within Microsoft Teams. Stay informed!

In our modern digital landscape, Microsoft Teams has emerged as the premier platform for streamlined communication and collaboration among teams, irrespective of geographical boundaries. A cornerstone of Teams is its meeting recording capability, enabling attendees to revisit past meetings.
Nevertheless, in an effort to optimize storage resources, both OneDrive and SharePoint actively monitor the expiration configuration of meeting recordings. Consequently, recordings that reach their designated expiration date are systematically relocated to the recycle bin.
If you just lost an important meeting recording here is how you can recover it.
It's turning into a monthly tradition! I've been publishing updates on all the exciting announcements for?Microsoft Viva. If you want to stay informed about what's coming up in the next months for the Microsoft Employee Experience suite, make sure to check out the following article.
