Scottish Summit 2023 had too many things to highlight to fit into a traditional social media post, so you are getting a blog from me instead.

Creating Custom Timers
A recent tweet and LinkedIn post attracted a lot of attention, due to the lunch timer running in the background. As a result I promised a blog post on how I built is, so here it is. This is what we are aiming for, this is the timer used in the original tweet running in … Continue reading Creating Custom Timers

Microsoft Teams Break Out Rooms – Some Early Observations

External & Guest Communication in MS Teams
Using Microsoft Teams with internal and external people, it can be a challenge to determine which features we can use with whom.
