Create intelligent chatbots directly in Microsoft Teams using Power Virtual Agents (PVA). We'll also show how the integration with the Bot Framework Composer lights up new capabilities for building even richer custom experiences. Jeremy Chapman is joined by Emma Archer, Principal Group Program Manager for Power Virtual Agents, who shows you how easy it is to create a new PVA bot in Teams and how to extend it with custom capabilities, leveraging the Bot Framework Composer.
With so many of us working remotely, it can be harder to get your questions answered. We’ve integrated PVA to give you an instant bot authoring canvas to build intelligent and responsive chatbots without even leaving Teams. You can build custom virtual chat experiences to engage with your team, address frequently asked questions, and save time by triaging common IT questions. And the good news is that Power Virtual Agents is included in your Teams license.
Just released to public preview is our deep integration of PVA with the Azure Bot Framework Composer.This offers richer experiences, such as adaptive dialogues that give you a way to code complex event-driven dialogues. Bots can easily switch contexts mid-conversation and then switch back, so they appear less robotic. Or use adaptive cards that give you a rich, interactive display and enable you to incorporate images and videos.

Build a consistent experience for frontline workers with Microsoft Teams updates. Take a look at the latest updates for frontline workers in Microsoft Teams. The past year has revealed a gap that exists for essential workers in terms of equal access to technology. By proactively extending the Team's platform to them, you can avoid workers finding their own potentially risky solutions.
Microsoft Teams can run on either personal devices or shared devices, it's integrated with your back office, and it's secured by design. You can also configure it to meet the specific needs of your frontline workers, their managers, or IT. Everybody benefits, and it's a consistent experience. Daniel Hidalgo, Product Manager for Microsoft Teams, joins host Jeremy Chapman to share Teams updates for:
• Frontline workers- easy sign-in, and new capability called Walkie Talkie
• Managers- new ways to manage your Teams with My Staff portal.

Extend information protection controls beyond apps and services to device endpoints with Microsoft Endpoint Data Loss Prevention (or DLP). As more and more users work outside the traditional corporate walls, natively for managing Windows 10 devices and the new Edge browser, they can discover and protect sensitive data as it's being shared or transferred.
If a user inadvertently mislabels a file, DLP will detect sensitive information and apply corresponding restrictions to prevent data loss. Think of DLP as an extra layer of security and a defense in-depth approach before content ends up in the wrong hands, whether that data has been proactively labeled or not. Join host Jeremy Chapman, as he gives an overview of Microsoft Endpoint Data Loss Prevention, shows you the user experience, and shares how easy it is to set it all up.

eep your users and data safe wherever they're working from, take a tour of all the recent upcoming updates for Microsoft 365 admins. As people work remotely or in hybrid work environments, potentially on unmanaged devices or less trusted networks, information protection is more important than ever. We’ve created a simple environment for everybody — from end-users to administrators, in a way where the data is secure and able to be accessed from any device, in any location. Jeff Teper, Microsoft 365 CVP, joins Jeremy Chapman to discuss how his team is helping make the lives of our admins easier.
► Flag Locations:
Discover the locations in Microsoft Teams and SharePoint where your most sensitive information is generated and stored, so you can holistically apply these labels at that site or team level.
► Endpoint DLP:
Configure rules to detect and take actions at the file system level and manage Windows devices, so you can protect your files if they're moved from the cloud to a local device.
► Split tunneling:
To get best optimal performance, connect the user to the nearest Azure Front Door with a new service called Network Connection Insights found in the M365 Admin Center.
► Migration Tools:
On-Prem File Servers require VPN connectivity for remote work. Moving these files to the cloud can help the VPN saturation, get you to the cloud even faster, and ultimately allow you to take advantage of everything in Microsoft 365.

The latest updates for endpoint and app management, to enable secure remote work experiences from wherever your users are. Due to the pandemic, “work from everywhere” is the new normal. Common tasks like hardware procurement and provisioning, and help desk are radically different when users and IT teams aren’t coming into the office. People have quickly realized not all of their hardware is up to the task of enabling work from everywhere. Brad Anderson, Microsoft 365 CVP, joins host Jeremy Chapman to walk through the latest updates.
► Windows Autopilot: Dropship devices directly to your users – whether that is a work or home address. We recently added support for co-management to Autopilot. Apps you’ve been managing from Configuration Manager can now easily be deployed as part of the Autopilot process.
► Tenant attach: You get a unified list of devices and don’t need to choose between one tool or the other. This is a huge update and simplification on enabling customers to attach the Microsoft 365 Cloud to their ConfigMgr deployment.
► ADMX Templates: We keep these up-to-date with not only the latest Windows policies, but all of the policy settings you need to manage Microsoft 365, the Edge browser, Office 2016 – which manages everything Office 2016 and newer, as well as your Office 365 apps and OneDrive policies. Now with the Office and Edge ADMX settings in there and up-to-date, it’s not just more control for non-domain-joined PCs, but a huge time saver.
► Protection in Edge: We are building more Microsoft Endpoint Manager controls into Edge, and we’ll be able to ensure the data never leaves the browser or the storage locations that you have approved. Policy management is happening directly from Edge at the app layer. This protection is now baked into Edge, which expands data loss protection to unmanaged devices.

The security and threat landscape has changed with more of us working from home. Attackers are getting more sophisticated in both luring victims and hiding automated commands. Equally, the protections from your on-premises network perimeter and firewall don't always apply when your users are away from the office, using personal devices, or if you've had to free up capacity on your VPN to avoid saturation.
In this episode, we catch up with David Weston, Microsoft Hacker in Chief, once again to see live malware campaigns, COVID-19 themed phishing attempts, connecting non-compliant devices to managed resources -- along with the controls you can put in place to both block unwanted attacks and investigate/remediate post breach.
We'll look at policy controls in Microsoft Intune and Group Policy in Windows 10, plus how you can use Microsoft Secure Score to assess where your organization is today and plan for the controls to increase your security posture in the future. The good news is that as you increase your protections for people working from home, these additive controls will make your defenses even stronger once users come back to the office.
Find out more on:
• How to protect yourself using Microsoft Secure Score
• Improvement actions to detect and prevent obfuscated scripts with Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection
• Network protection
• How you can use Microsoft Endpoint Manager to get your machine to a compliant state, so you can connect to resources and get work done
• New capabilities to Secure Score that are related to planning or tracking your progress against your security goals over time

In this working from home tip, we'll show you how to change default Outlook meeting length in the desktop app to give others - and yourself - a little time between meetings. By default, meetings in Outlook are set to 30 minutes, but did you know you can set them to end earlier – as a default when creating future meetings? You can. And we'll show you how to end meetings 5 or more minutes early for everything you schedule in the future.
Note that this setting also roams and will be the default in Outlook on the web once you make this change.
