Microsoft Community Office Hours, Episode 39

For the 39th episode of “Microsoft Community Office Hours” series, I was joined by Sean McDonough, MVP (@spmcdonough), Hal Hostetler, MVP (@TVWizard), Mike Nelson, MVP (@MikeNelsonIO), Eric Riz, MVP (@rizinsights), former MVP Noah Sparks (@NoahSparks), and Microsoft’s Neil Hodgkinson (@nellymo) for another very casual panel discussion shared via live stream in the Office 365 Community on Facebook, and simulcast on Twitter (Periscope), LinkedIn, and YouTube.

If you have any question you would like us to address, you can send them to OfficeHours@CollabTalk.com
