A while ago I wrote this article on the new SLA timer control where I explained how you can add this new control toRead More

Interact with Dynamics 365 records in Teams Chat(Preview)

I feel like I’ve been repeating myself, since this is yet another article where I talk about additional functionality in the Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 integration.

Access Dynamics 365 data in Teams meetings (Preview)

Microsoft is investing more and more in the integration between Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 which I believe sets Dynamics 365 even further apart from the competition. I’m sure you are familiar with some of the features we have access to today, like the ability to view Dynamics 365 data from within Microsoft Teams or the ability to access a Teams chat from within Dynamics 365, but there are aRead More

Resurfacing the Jump Bar in Dynamics 365

There are a lot of new features and functionality that come with each new release of Dynamics 365, but sometimes Microsoft doesn’t just add new features, sometimes they remove functionality that has been part of the application for a long (or not so long) time. They might feel that folks don’t use any of those things anymore, or they might attempt to ‘clean up’ the application or give users moreRead More

Microsoft Teams embedded chat | Part 2
