As if it wasn’t enough that I missed it in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, I also missed it in the Microsoft 365 Message Center when it appeared there on November 11, 2023.
Since I missed all of this, I guess there might be a few more people who missed it and so I thought I’d give a short and simplified explanation of what this update has entailed.
Teams Nation 2024 is completed and I would like to share my experience of this. Yesterday, Wednesday, February 22, Teams Nation 2024 took place. This was my fourth time and this year I and Daniel Sønstevold were “on stage” together.
We had a great and solid Moderator in the form of “The one and only” (and always helpful and nice) Peter Rising who guided us safely and kept us organized before, during, and at the end of our session. We even had time for a few good laughs right before we started. (A little chat and laughter is, in my opinion, the best calming preparation before going “on air”.)
Daniels and mine session was in the Security & Compliance track and we demonstrated and shared our knowledge and our experiences so far when it comes to what should be done to become Copilot Ready or Optimized for Copilot for Microsoft 365. We started by talking about the importance of having secured the Microsoft 365 platform itself and always thinking (and striving for) Zero Trust. Then we went on to talk about how you can (and should) clean up- and secure Microsoft Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive. Finally, we showed the possibilities and the importance of using Microsoft Purview in terms of establishing and being able to comply with rules and implementing and managing Information Protection.
Often, at other conferences, this type of presentation is a one-way communication where you present what you planned to present and when you’re done, it’s thank you and goodbye. Here at Teams Nation, it’s something completely different. During the time we presented, and after the presentation, we experienced an unusually dynamic dialogue with the participants. The meeting chat bubbled and filled up with relevant questions, good answers and friendly comments. Everyone shared questions as well as knowledge and experiences and all the time the tone was good, helpful and inclusive.

I am probably a member of and have access to hundreds of teams. Some teams are located in my organization’s tenant, and there I am either the owner or a member of these teams. Some teams exist in other organizations and then I am invited as a guest in them. You might now be thinking that it must be messy and stressful to be a member of so many Teams? The answer to that question is, as so often, “it depends”. What it depends on is whether you have good settings and a good structure in your teams or not.
Wednesday 21st February 2024, 09:00 – 19:30 CET (Central European Time) (UTC+1) , it’s time for Teams Nation, one of the biggest highlights of the year for us Microsoft Teams fans.

Most of us have hoped but not really dared to believe that yesterday’s news “Bringing the full power of Copilot to more people and businesses” would come already now, but yesterday’s news struck like a bolt from the blue. This announcement includes Microsoft “Expanding Copilot for Microsoft 365 to businesses of all sizes” and thus the previous “brake pedal” with the 300-seat purchase minimum is now gone.
