If you've ever spent 5 minutes hunting through Teams trying to find a meeting recording, there's a feature you should be using.

It's called the Meet app, and it's already built into Teams. No Copilot license required.

The Meet app gives you a single dashboard for every meeting you've had or are about to have. Click on any meeting and you get the agenda, recording, transcript, chat, and shared files, all in one place.

To find it:

1. Open Teams

2. Click the three dots on the left navigation bar

3. Search for "Meet"

4. Right-click and pin it so it stays in your sidebar

Once pinned, you'll see two views: upcoming meetings and past meetings. Click any past meeting to see everything tied to it.

Finding what was discussed in last month's leadership review used to take 5 minutes of digging through your calendar, recordings, and SharePoint.

With Meet, it takes 30 seconds.

Small IT improvements often have the same (if not greater) positive impact on a business as a major rollout, if you know where to aim them.

To find opportunities for small improvements, ask yourself several questions:

Which technology tools drive the most support tickets?

What minor IT issues arise the most frequently?

Where are we relying on tribal knowledge instead of standardized workflows?

Where are our support outliers (i.e. inconsistent software versions, one-off applications, legacy add-ins, etc.)?

What so-called IT solutions do employees avoid the most?

Aiming small improvements at the root concerns that these questions unveil is a simple, quick way to turn mild friction into great reward.
