Microsoft Community Office Hours, Episode 20

Here we are at the 20th episode of “Microsoft Community Office Hours” series! For the morning session, I was joined by Sean McDonough, MVP (@spmcdonough), Hal Hostetler, MVP (@TVWizard), Mike Nelson, MVP (@MikeNelsonIO), and Eric Riz, MVP (@rizinsights), with our discussion shared via live stream in the Office 365 Community on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/Office365Community/). For the evening session, Hal and I tackled a number of questions live from viewers of the live stream. Thanks for participating!

If you like this format, be sure to join us 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.
