I get that mobile networks want you to buy a bundle, or even better a (rolling) contract, but just looking at some PAYG SIM prices this morning & the data rates are insane: approx £150 per GB?!

Teams location data update - From Sept Microsoft will unify building data uploads via CQD. No more double uploads to Reporting Labels.
It's a start but not quite enough to remove the location pain!
Tracked under 495830 - portal.changepilot.cloud/MC1135399
Not perfect, but a welcome simplification.

Sometimes it's the little things with a tool like Copilot.
Found we've had an issue not being charged for electricity so rang the support line & they asked when we had our smart meter installed. Couldn't find it in a standard Outlook search but remembered I could ask Copilot.
Answer in seconds :)

Prepping for today's deck, noticed a change for Copilot: Allow access between B2B multitenant orgs. This addresses privacy & data access issues, starting to open the door for Copilot use in external Teams meetings. Fingers crossed for transcript sharing soon! 🤞 learn.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...
