I am not Manager in Microsoft – only Yet.

But I am the manager of my work. I am the manager of my deliveries. Will you ever be a manager of your own work and ruin it !!! Definitely not!.

Here is the thing, I’m supposed to be on vacation but unfortunately I could not finish everything pending before vacation especially vacations in my calendar are planned year ahead as I learnt as a mother of twins for beautiful little princess girls Roussel and Sophia … to plan my vacation with their school time off so we can have some fun together. Even if in home or little outing or meeting their friends and our family…. what so ever.

But being manager of my work, I take full responsibility of each and every pending action and task and pending mails and meetings. but at least it is a slow down in vacation, but still …….. needed really.

Enjoying my vacation … hopefully and teaching the little girls some rules in life to help them be good girls 🙂 With few meetings with our amazing customers.

ATP – Malicious file detected in a library – SharePoint, OneDrive & Teams

People regularly share files and collaborate using SharePoint, OneDrive, and Microsoft Teams. With Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection (ATP), your organization can collaborate in a safer manner. ATP helps detect and block files that are identified as malicious in team sites and document libraries.

How Office 365 ATP operates

When a file in SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, and Microsoft Teams has been identified as malicious, ATP directly integrates with the file stores to lock that file. The following image shows an example of a malicious file detected in a library.

Although the blocked file is still listed in the document library and web, mobile, or desktop applications, the blocked file cannot be opened, copied, moved, or shared. People can, however, delete a blocked file. Here’s an example of what that looks like on a user’s mobile device:

Depending on how Microsoft 365 is configured, people might or might not have the ability to download a blocked file. Here’s what downloading a blocked file looks like on a user’s mobile device:

Announce when callers join or leave could be noisy if thousands are attending

In a Live Event, with thousands of attendees, joining and leaving … if we keep this option “On” .. “Announce when callers join or leave”, it will be difficult to hear the presenter.
