Microsoft Community Office Hours, Episode 11

Here we are at our 11th episode of “Microsoft Community Office Hours,” which we live stream on the Office 365 Community page on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Office365Community/) every Monday at 8am (for EMEA) and 6pm (for APAC) following the ask-me-anything (AMA) format. The AMA allows us to connect with each other and also help anyone in the community with questions about Microsoft products and services. If you have questions about Microsoft products or services, please feel free to post them here, on the FB page, or send to me via Twitter or FB direct message.
