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.
