We're going to teach you how to use PSTN telephony options with Microsoft Teams Phone. Teams ties together all of the different communications modalities, so you can easily move from one modality to the next. Shift from a text-based chat to a one-on-one voice call.

Do you wish you could take better notes during meetings or classes held on Microsoft Teams? Jeremy Chapman from the Microsoft 365 team demonstrates a new way to automate the process.
Now in Microsoft Teams, keeping detailed notes for your meetings just got easier, with in-context and automated meeting transcripts using the brand-new and AI-driven speech-to-text transcription capability built into Teams.
Once started, you can watch meeting transcription happen in real time. When the meeting is over, the transcript with speaker attribution is available to all meeting participants directly in the meeting's chat. So everyone in the meeting can easily get to it and know what each person said.

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.

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

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.
