Microsoft Community Office Hours, Episode 2
On March 30th we reconvened for the second episode of “Microsoft Community Office Hours” during this COVID-19 quarantine period. These live streamed sessions are a way for us to connect with each other and also help anyone in the community with questions about Microsoft products and services. We’re holding these events at 8am and 6pm Pacific in an effort to reach folks in Europe and Africa (EMEA) in the earlier session, and across Asia Pacific (APAC) in the later session….and, of course, across the Americas with both times. These sessions are being live streamed to the Office 365 Community page in Facebook, which is a great resource to ask questions and get answers.
In this second episode, I was joined by Sean McDonough, MVP (@spmcdonough), Joel Oleson, MVP+RD (@joeloleson), Sherman Woo (@spsherm), Harjit Dhaliwal, MVP (@hoorge), Hal Hostetler, MVP (@TVWizard), and Marcy Kellar (@marcykellar). Topics covered included:
