How to file a support ticket with Microsoft and get help for any education product

 How to file a support ticket with Microsoft and get help for any education product

One of the problems I sometimes have is trying to get support specifically
for education products and although you can go to forums where there
is great help, but sometimes you do not find the answers you need.

Click the link below to create a Microsoft Education Support ticket.
Quick and easy.  You do need a Microsoft account to sign in with.

Microsoft Teams large gallery view

 Microsoft Teams large gallery view

One of the problems with Teams is that you cannot see your entire class
at the same time.  There are now 2 different functions that you can use to change that.

Personally I like the large gallery view which allows up to 49 video feeds at the same time.
To use this feature however, you need at least 10 people sharing their video.

Microsoft Teams limit: Call duration, maximum participants, channel size and more

 Microsoft Teams limit: 
Call duration, maximum participants, channel size and more


Microsoft now allows all paid users to have up to 300 members 
(previously 250) on a video call. This has been recently increased 
from its initial 100 member limit, to help better compete with the 
likes of Zoom and Google Meet. Free users can only host video calls 
with up to 20 members.

Microsoft Teams History

 Microsoft Teams History

 

There is a new Microsoft Teams update that is being rolled out in 
February on the desktop client that I am really looking forward to.
We will now be able to use a history menu that displays a person's
recently visited locations.  You can hover over the back and forward
button and this will give you access to previous locations easier.
If you press Ctrl + Shift + H it will open the new history menu.

Excellent

Top 25 Microsoft Forms tips and tricks for 2021

Top 25 Microsoft Forms tips and tricks for 2021

    

I use forms all the time and I love the fact that you can do quizes
that mark themselves.  I can use this at the beginning of a topic to see how 
much prior knowledge they have or at the end of a module to see what gaps
the students are missing.  What I also like about this is that it keeps an 
Excel document so it becomes easy to see the progress the students have made
over the course of a module.
