Microsoft Teams Chat Retention
Submitted by Jeff Metzger
On Friday, June 18, BSMH IT will make a change to the chat and conversation retention time in Teams. Private chat messages between individuals or groups will be retained for only three days. Any chats older than three days will be automatically deleted by the system on an ongoing basis. Conversations in a team channel, however, will be retained for one year after which point they will be automatically deleted. Please feel free to contact me or my team with any questions.
Upcoming Panopto Downtime
Submitted by Jeff Metzger
On Saturday, June 26, the Panopto Cloud will be updated with new features and improvements. The updates require downtime of up to 4 hours starting at 9:00 p.m. on June 26. During the downtime, you will not be able to access videos on Panopto (including those embedded in Canvas pages) and you will receive an error if you try to upload a video from the recording client. Another reminder will be sent a few days before the downtime event, but please start spreading the word, especially to students who might be affected. Thank you!
