Using the HTML5 on RDS 2019 so cannot comment on RDS 2016 - using this guide- https://custominterfacesolutions.com/rds-2019-web-client-steps-install/ I use it as my preferred method for students. Staff seem to prefer to use mstsc and other RDP apps. Changed the IIS redirect to the HTML5 link and works really well. Only downside is that you cannot really customise the HTML5 page - so no logos etc.... There was a post on here somewhere which showed how to at least change wording to display the name of your school etc.

Need to apply a Meeting policy to students - you can apply policies which MS haveready made which you can apply, or you can make your own. Policy to MS Meeting Policy to apply is the Education_SecondaryStudent You can apply in small numbers via the Web Interface or you can use Powershell to apply in bulk. I used Powershell to apply Policy Assignments to all staff and students - the Policy Assignments apply the individual Policies to users - once applied you can then modify them. Need to install the MSTeams module first install-module MicrosoftTeams -Force -Verbose Have a look at this post - http://www.edugeek.net/forums/cloud-services/214904-powershell-teams-cant-connect-2.html#post1839015

Before I start making an idiots guide for students to access teams etc..... Does anyone have a simple guide they wouldn't mind sharing :-) Cheers

No it doesn’t - not sure if there is a policy setting for audio. I know staff can mute all audio with in the team - but there is nothing from stopping people from re-enabling the audio themselves

Currently watching Upload on Amazon Prime..... still on the fence about it

You could change a setting within their selected policy to disable IP Video BUT it disables it so they cannot override it for All meetings. So if you want staff to be able to show their cams in staff meetings then best not to change the policy and just keep reminding them to turn of their cams before the start the meeting.

We’ve loaned out about 8 laptops so far and had requests for more! Since we have some teaching staff on site for supporting key workers, they have plugged laptops in for us and we have remoted in and removed them from the domain etc. Technician went in on Wednesday to grab 20 laptops from science and turned them on in our office and left straight away to removed form domain etc. Remotely. I went in yesterday, checked them and bagged them up ready for loaning out. I oversee loan approval via SLT and then if laptop is needed, we contact site manager who collects laptop bag labelled with number and leaves in main office where technician generates paperwork and emails to staff on site who print and get paperwork signed when laptop collected. No insurance check etc just good will etc. So far system seem to work well.

When you look at their documentation and follow the flow of how Live Events works, it shows 3rd part ecdn towards the end before attendees view the event. Wasn’t sure if this was an optional step as it doesn’t clearly stay if needed or not.

If using Teams Live Events - do you need to use a 3rd Party CDN?

I’ve asked our SLT what is happening about this when it was first announced and I’m being kept out of the loop for some reason. Don’t mind as long as they don’t expect me to support them!

@Uber22 - Here is my original script $cred = Get-Credential "[email protected]" Connect-AzureAD -Credential $cred Connect-MicrosoftTeams -Credential $cred #Change Students in Year 7 to your selected AD Group $group = Get-AzureADGroup -SearchString "Students in Year 7" $members = Get-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId $group.ObjectId -All $true | Where-Object {$_.ObjectType -eq "User"} #Name : Education_Teacher #Description : This is an Education_Teacher package # #Name : Education_SecondaryStudent #Description : This is an Education_SecondaryStudent package #Change the PackageName to your chosen package $members | ForEach-Object { Write-host Assigning Team Policy to: $_.UserPrincipalName Grant-CsUserPolicyPackage -PackageName Education_SecondaryStudent -Identity $_.UserPrincipalName } [/Code] One thing I forgot to mention is that we use AzureConnect - so when we create AD Groups etc, they then get Sync'd into Azure. I use groups for my students - such as Students in Year 7 for all students in Year 7, etc..... So providing your students are in a group, all you need to do is change $group to match your chosen AD Group. Hope that all makes sense....... If anyone can see if there is an easier way to do the loops than by all means let me know :-)

I’ll post my original script later this evening. Don’t remember setting that variable.

On the script it looks for an AD group called students as that’s what I have my students in - made it easier to apply on mass. I created an AD group called students and added all student accounts to that group that way the script could apply setting to all Students in one go. If your students are in a different AD group change students in the script to match your AD group. Hope that makes sense.

Let’s start from scratch and close any and all powershell windows. Open either powershell or powershell ise as admin Don’t run any scripts just yet and run the following command Get-InstalledModule Should return a list of all installed modules and hopefully we should see MicrosoftTeams If MicrosoftTeams is listed then on another new line type in Import-Module MicrosoftTeams -verbose Using the -verbose switch so we can see what is happening when the command runs. Hopefully you shouldn’t see any error messages. If at this point all is good, then you should be able to run the powershell script to assign the team assignments.

Just read the last bit of the message you posted and it looks like the module is installed as it says the module is in use. Will take a proper look in the morning as my little one has just woken up and needs feeding.

wondering if there is an issue with your powershell, as when I run that command on WIn10 and Server 2016 and 2019 it installs fine. I'll copy the module and upload it with instructions on how to manually install the module in the morning if that ok.

I prefer to use Powershell ISE as you can run lines of code at a time - aso you need to make sure you are right click and run as admin install-module MicrosoftTeams -Force -Verbose Also worth checking and trying the following Get-PSRepository and you should see something silimar - Name InstallationPolicy SourceLocation ---- ------------------ -------------- PSGallery Untrusted https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2

@Uber22 Before running the powershell script type in the following install-module MicrosoftTeams

So tempted on the Prestige Euph but I think my wife would suitable kill me - especially as we now have a baby :-)

In all the recent news about Coronavirus thought I would spread some nice cheerful news. At 5.24am my daughter Lottie was born and I allowed at the birth! Everyone doing well and now home.

Part of the problem is that people have seen the government use it and are assuming it safe to use and think if it good enough for them it good enough for us - regardless of whatever concerns we raise.

Out SLT want to use this for staff - i've said my piece and how we should stick with Teams for most of the reasons host have mentioned on here and SLT have largely ignored what i've said - all because some SLT are not keen on Teams! Will only be a matter of time before some staff start using Zoom with students - and when it hits the fan i will sit back and let them deal with the issues!

Slowly watching Supernatural - Now on Season 3, only another 12 seasons to go

Just found some more info https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/more-than-4-windows-for-video-meetings/m-p/564988 Voting to show all people in video calls https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/17010055-show-video-for-all-people-in-video-meeting#%7Btoggle_previous_statuses So looks like SLT will do what they do best and tell people to do their own thing either on Zoom or Hangouts - shame Microsoft haven’t got round to sorting this yet!

Tells me how many I can have in a chat but not how many can appear of video chat at the same time. Going to test with some staf and some dummy accounts later this morning.
