Darrel as a service killed me 😂
Great video. Some of our clients see this new experience screen on "Create a Team" (Name the first channel) and some do not. Any reason why that would be? Is it a tenant setting in the M365 admin or in Teams Admin portal? Most all clients are on the current version of the Teams Client (we had them check). As for Early Release, we don't have any client tenants with that release setting. Thank you.
Hi Jeffrey. My tenant is on Targeted Release. I think this might be a feature rolled out user-by-user rather than the whole tenant. So it is probably arriving randomly for each user, firstly to Targeted Release, then Standard Release.
Is the preview available? I didn’t found it to install (MacOS)
Hi Weslley. Loop is a web app. I installed the Loop app page as an app. It still runs in the browser. But in its own dedicated window.
Thanks for this video 🙏 I just checked out my Loop Worlspaces and it's still on the old UI, so I guess the changes will rollout over time for everyone to see?
That’s right. I have also found that CTRL+F5 will get a fresh copy of the page and bring through the new UI if it’s available to you now.
@@DarrellaaS Thanks! Still not available but I'll try refreshing from time to time ✅
Duplicate doesn't seem to work for me, but sending it to another loop and making a template. Then remove the link. Then use the template works
UI update is great, but I need a database feature to connect tables
I hear that databases for Loop are in development. I hope they leverage Lists in SharePoint given that a Loop Workspace is hosted in SharePoint.
Everything that Microsoft does looks half-made. Like you can’t decide how you want your apps to look like. That being said - it would be awesome if Loop became a windows native app, instead of this buggy html mess.
I hear you. It takes years for a Microsoft app to feel mature and fully-baked. Even then, they are always in development. Loop is the same. There's quirks and strangeness that I find difficult to work with. Thankfully with my contacts, I can tell them directly and they can add it to their list.
What will happen to the existing General channel? I have mine receiving updates from power automate. Will this stop working?
Existing General channels wont be affected. Your flows should still run.
I like it. Very keen for this to be live in my account and also hoping they get external users being able to see pages sorted soon as this is a massive issue for me and my business.
Hi Gemma. Are you using the Loop app with a Microsoft 365 using one of the subscriptions in this list? support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/loop-access-via-microsoft-365-subscriptions-92915461-4b14-49a4-9cd4-d1c259292afa. Guest access to Loop Workspaces is available today, for organisations who aren't using sensitivity labels (an Enterprise subscription security feature.) Try inviting an external email address to a page in a test workspace. The recipient will be able to access the page. Then invite the same email address to be a member of the workspace.
I wonder when there will be a Loop tab available to pin in teams and channels within Teams
I hope so too. In the meantime, have you seen the Loop app for Teams? It lists all your recent Loop files.
@@DarrellaaS Can't see the MS Teams loop app over here. Could you send a link/more info?
Not seeing these changes...I've always heard that EDU accounts are the last to see improvements.
Yes, it might take a little longer to get the UI refresh. But not too much longer I hope.
I'm still not seeing this - presume it's on a rollout and I just have to wait? 🫣
Dont know why but this doesnt work for me. I can create the new subpage as shown in the video (parent page /New Subpage) but when I go back to the parent page there is no content linked.
Really like the updates to the UI. Quick meeting note access and collapsing the menu to focus are my two favorites!
I still need to use the new meeting workspace in my day to day work. It's suggested at the end of a meeting to the meeting organiser. When the meeting is a recurring meeting, future meeting notes, shared files and links are added to the meeting workspace. It's a good start for a first release feature.
@@DarrellaaS We still don't have the meeting notes feature/option in Teams AFAIK. Had hoped the basic version would be free to all M365 users not just Copilot / Teams premium users?
Board view has been removed from outlook 😕
Yes, it's a pity that it was removed. But you can still use the My Day panel in New Outlook / Outlook on Web, drag a task to your calendar and block time.
Will admit, the interface is much better than Notion. Its the one bugbear I have with Notion currently. The navigation is not clear enough for me.
I like navigation and toolbars that get out of the and let me work.
I have a great name for the first channel... "General" 🤣 j/k... I now will probably stop for a couple of minutes on that textfield thinking what to put there...
Exactly. The moment you think you need a Team and you know the purpose for it, you are going to name your team and then want to name your channel the same name.
Good info. No renaming of the General Channel for current Teams? I guess if renaming was allowed SharePoint syncing would go nuts.😂😂
Just exploring this and it gives me the option to rename the existing General Channel on the Teams I already have. It gives a warning though that once it's changed you can't go back to naming it General.
Doesn’t work two years later. My colleagues can’t edit in or collaborate to the loop I send them via Outlook. It’s read only for some reason.
It sounds like your organisation has set your default sharing links to be view. Try clicking on the name of the loop file before you send it and changing the permissions.
Rubbish presentation
🤭Yes, I feel the same way. It was one of my first CZcams videos 10 years ago.
How can I increase the amount of nested page levels that are allowed - it only seems to go 4 deep - so crap compared to Notion
I'm testing this out and I don't think the toggle does anything. Scheduled a sets of test situations. #1 navigate directly to the team and then channel schedule a meeting don't add any invitees and leave Send Personal Invites in the default OFF position and send the invite. All team members receive the meeting invite via email. Do the same but toggle it on and the same thing happens. Then I tried going into the calendar in Teams and drill down to the team/channel like you did in the video and the same results. All members receive the meeting invite. As I think about this I added another domain user and it works but not for external members. That is a useless toggle. From what I just discovered the member has to be another domain user. WTF MS this is useless when working with external guest members.
When was your team created? It sounds like the team has everyone subscribed to receive all meeting invites. This is the classic behaviour of Teams. It can be adjusted by visiting the team’s group mailbox in Outlook. Here is how individuals change the setting. support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/follow-a-group-in-outlook-e147fc19-f548-4cd2-834f-80c6235b7c36 Admins can turn this behaviour off for a group of people using PowerShell. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/troubleshoot/groups-and-distribution-lists/o365-group-tasks#control-delivery-of-group-email-messages-to-new-members
Feeling your pain Darrell, thanks for helping me understand it's not just me. For now, I'm pretty satisfied with a OneNote notebook in a channel tab working the way I like. The notebook ended up in a Shared Documents folder in the Files area of the Channel. The Loop component appears visible in the tab view of the notebook (not off in the corner as with Whiteboard). Everyone in the Team seems to have editing rights. Huzzah! I still had to copy the .loop file into the Channel Files area (it started, as usual, in my OneDrive). I needed to use the "Copy as Loop component" option after opening that channel-resident file, rather than going anywhere near the "Share" option in that component. Someone reply to this post if you find any other drawbacks with this approach. Even if it is a workaround until MS fully supports Loop in a Tab, OneNote isn't a *bad* canvas for Loop, in that you can surround the component with supporting content, like instructions for updating the component. I'm very cranky that Microsoft is taking *away* support for the "Website" tab in Teams (forcing you to open in a browser instead), since that would be one answer to our dilemma, just let us put a Loop Workspace page in a website tab. I understand if they are tired of trying to support full browser functionality in a tab, but ...
Thanks for this video. Are the Loop components still stored in an individual's One Drive in this scenario?
The components are stored in the team in this scenario. From 0:42 I show a component created in a channel post. The Loop file is stored in the channel files. Then I add links to this component to a OneNote notebook. The Loop file still lives on the team.
Great video🎉
Love your tutorials, but where can I get that t-shirt
Special edition made by Darrell as a Service. I don’t have the license to use the logos though.
There is no pagination? It will be too overwhelming if you have 100+ items. It is not a good experience to scroll down.
Is there a way to update the date on the Kanban automatically? Say I move an item to Done then the date on the item will show the current date it was move to done.
Not today. Good feature request thought.
real
Word.
You could use the Kanban Component in a OneNote Notebook and then use the titles to link to OneNote Page
I really need to create something like this - categories to better plan my workday life. Above all, I loved the creativity to use M&M's alongside the examples. Thank you for sharing, Darrell!
I have been wanting to create a colourful outdoors episode for a while. Glad you liked it and it helped bring the points home.
Is there a way to modify the headers in a task list?
No. Consider using a Kanban component or a Table. But only the Task list component syncs with Planner.
how do you organize your linked files in your one drive so you know not to move them but also keep them organized there?
Such an amazing way to manage a program with multiple projects. Could be a nifty way to put links to projects. GENIUS !!!
In either a table or task table, can you limit the edit right of each row to a specific person? Thanks!
I would like the person responsible for that task to update their own record, and avoid someone else on the project corrupting the status of that task.
I can not get loop tasks to sync with To-do. Do you need a business account for this?
Yes. It actually uses Planner, a lightweight project app that requires a commercial subscription (Business, Enterprise, EDU). But Microsoft have not built the Task list component to sync with your personal Task list in To Do.
how do I create a look workspace associated with a meeting series?
There is a new way to do this using workspaces that can be generated at the conclusion of a meeting. A meeting organiser will see a prompt in the chat to “Generate workspace?” Then any meeting notes and files shared during a meeting or recurring meeting, will be added to the workspace.
How can I sync the D-Drive files of the PC onto Onedrive?
We are limited to only being able to sync the three folders mentioned in the video. We cannot select a whole drive to sync.
very interesting video. Is it possible that the tasks from the Kanban also appear in the Planner? With /task the tasks are displayed directly in Planner/ToDo. Unfortunately I can't do this with /kanban.
If you start with Kanban then the items don’t create a Planner plan. If you start with Task list it creates a plan. But that Task list can be viewed as a Kanban board too. czcams.com/video/qDTGjNbp4o0/video.html&si=fYKRyAMXno2Z0Iih
@@DarrellaaS Thank you for your answer. But unfortunately I don't have the options under Task, such as the linking you describe in your video.
I need help on planner recurring where I have repeated the task for monthly basis. But it is coming soon after I click on completed but I needed this when new month arrives.
Very nice job
Getting there slowly though ….
They aren’t back links… they are forward links… back links would be a link to parent page from subpage … 😊
Thanks for the feedback. You are right. I fixed the title.
@@DarrellaaS kind of you to acknowledge. Many thanks.
Thought I was clever by changing from "Link preview" to "URL", edit the URL and change the "Display text"... but then, when you click the link, it opens the page in a new/external browser window 🙄 I really like the automatic "Table of contents" but wish there was an option for a "global TOC" and that you can easily refer to "Headings" on the same or a different page, ideally with the "@" command how you can refer to a page (or external document). On a different note, do you by any chance know when "mermaid" support is coming to the Code component aaaaand, do you you know it it'll actually render the diagrams in the Code component?
that's why I found you your video. I'm having same needs and found same limitations. Another issue is that Loop pages are also stored on your one drive, not on Sharepoint
Some awesome tips in Loop there Darrell! Also, a huge congratulations for hitting 10K Subs! It’s well overdue 😁👍
Thank you Scott. 10 years to hit 10K! I have confused the algorithm over the years 😂
I love the kanban component just as it is. The only thing I miss is that they don't sync with planner. I love using planner on Teams as my central hub for everything task related assigned to me.
Love the linking. I agree that in the call out main detail page, you would need to stress no dates on it and use the kanban card / table and also indicate that the page is a child of the Kanban card. Also linking back to the board task from the child detail page is needed. It’s something i have always done in notebooks with pages and sections and paragraphs as is saves a lotta time
Great ideas for back linking. I hope one day we get suggested back links or even automatic ones.
thank you very much!
Many thanks for the video! really useful
