CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 91 with Sean McDonough and Geoff Varosky

 

For Episode 91 of the CollabTalk Podcast, we once again cover a lot of ground! The conversation focused on the latest updates on Bing Chat Enterprise and how this fits in with other Microsoft announcements around AI, including the Copilot early access program; Microsoft 365 Backup and Archival solutions; the availability of Viva Pulse and Viva Glint; and the new video editing solution, ClipChamp. 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!
