MS TEAMS - New Features

[MYK-IT]

Just a note to say that we've received some of the newer MS TEAMS features, which was a beneficial and noticeable improvement during today's staff TEAMS meeting!

 

3x3 Display

Raise a Virtual Hand

 

Didn't notice the other new meeting/call controls location (Roadmap ID 57294)

Yes, you need Teams version 1.3.00.12058. The 9-way view has been very popular with us.

We got them at the start of the week - both great long overdue improvements.

I just used I used:

Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Education_Teacher -DesignatedPresenterRoleMode OrganizerOnlyUserOverride

Where Education_teacher is the teacher policy.

 

It isn't perfect, all it does is sets the default meeting option. I did hear that they were looking at making that pupils would always be added as attendees and staff as presenters in Education teams, but that hasn't been added yet

I'm just trying to set the default policy for “Who can present” in Teams meetings by using the Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy in powershell.

 

I believe I've followed the logic and run the command:

 

Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity School_staff_meeting -DesignatedPresenterRoleMode OrganizerOnlyUserOverride

 

This returns nothing at the prompt.

 

I thought I could then use:

 

Get-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity School_staff_meeting -DesignatedPresenterRoleMode OrganizerOnlyUserOverride

 

to check the value.

 

But this returns:

 

PS C:\windows\system32> Get-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity Balcarras_staff_meeting -DesignatedPresenterRoleMode OrganizerOnlyUserOverride

A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'DesignatedPresenterRoleMode'.

+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: ( [Get-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy], ParameterBindingException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Rtc.Management.Internal.GetTeamsMeetingPolicyCmdlet

+ PSComputerName : admined2.online.lync.com

 

 

PS C:\windows\system32>

The default can be set for a policy in a drop down menu on the web page now in teams admin, under meetings->meeting policies

Ah - cheers.

Be aware that this can take a long time to take affect. I thought it wasn't working, but the next day it did. Same for the lobby setting. Of course by the time it kicked in the teachers had changed their minds and wanted it set back the other way, so had to wait another day!
