CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 85 with Sean McDonough and Geoff Varosky

 

For Episode 85 of the CollabTalk Podcast, we covered a lot of ground! The conversation focused on the latest updates on task management across Microsoft Project, Project Online, Planner, and ToDo; updates on Microsoft Syntex; a recap of updates on SharePoint, OneDrive, Stream, and Lists; a discussion on the branding around Microsoft Fabric; and more news on Teams Free and GroupMe integrations. This is part of a monthly feature on the podcast with Sean and Geoff where we’ll cover the latest product announcements, major Message Center updates that you need to know about, and community news from around the world. You can listen to the podcast above and follow me using your favorite app, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, or the iHeartRadio app. Be sure to subscribe!
