In this video based on a real-life example, we create linked SharePoint lists that display status levels, colors, and associated steps. We then read these lists from PowerApps to create a status display that we display in a tab in Teams. Finally, we create a flow so that each time the status changes, we automatically post that to our Teams channel.

In this video, we see how to use Stream’s new Record Screen capability to create a video of both your screen and the you as the narrator. We show how to edit the caption both in the Stream interface and by downloading and editing the .vtt file. Next, we add a Microsoft Forms Quiz and show how to embed that in the video. Finally, we demonstrate how to add the video as a tab in Teams.

In this video, we create a Power BI visualization using a query from Microsoft SQL Server. Specifically, we join several tables from the Tracker.Net Learning Management System to visualize student and lesson information. We cover slicers, cards, pie charts, tables, and the Text Filter control. We also examine how to customize the drill-down interactions with the pie charts.

In this video, we look at the design of a PowerApps application that allows users to view their own tickets and add a new one. Along the way, we cover the Office365Users, Office365Outlook, and SharePoint data sources. We show how to set colors based on logic, show a label until all mandatory items are filled in, edit data cards, set and use global variables, and much more.
