Did you know that you are able to update and schedule your Microsoft Teams for when you're out of the office? 

Out of Office messages are a great way to advise both external and internal parties that you are currently not available. Anyone that contacts you while you're away from the office will receive a (customisable) message, and the best part is that you are also able to determine a specific date range that they will receive this notification. 

Microsoft Teams offers the option to display your Out of Office each time someone tries to sent you a message or @ mentions you in a channel. Here's how to get started: 

​1. Launch Teams and click on your profile picture.

2. Then click on Set Status message.

3. Type your ‘Out of Office‘ message. There’s a 280 character limit to your message. Users can also @mention whom people can contact while you’re offline.

4. Check the option Show when people message me.

Microsoft Office 365 is full of handy shortcuts and features that many people are not aware of. Even within the standard applications of Word and Excel that most people use every day, there are literally dozens of handy features that can make your work easier. ​No matter what language you speak, most of the world speaks a different one, which is why Microsoft created the Translate feature, which is available within Word, Excel, OneNote, and PowerPoint. There is support for translating a single line of text to an entire document in over 60 languages. 

Multi-factor authentication for Office 365 refers to the process of having two or more methods of authenticating you as a user.  Simply enabling MFA protects against a huge portion of online threats (an estimated 80% of cyber security attacks are initiated through a compromised email password). 

1. Go to the OneDrive or SharePoint and sign in with your account.
2. Select the file or folder you want to share and then select Share. 

3. Click on the arrow (>) to change with whom you want to share the document. Select Specific people under Link settings and click Apply.
By default, Allow editing is turned on. If you want people to only view your files, uncheck the check box.
