What Your Boss Can TRACK About YOU with Microsoft Teams - YouTube

Channel: Leila Gharani

Many of us are working remotely using Microsoft Teams.
[3]
Did you ever wonder what your boss can track
[6]
about your working day?
[7]
For example, how much time you actually spent working.
[11]
Let's find out.
[12]
(upbeat music)
[17]
Okay, so I've logged into the Microsoft 365 admin center.
[21]
Here I'm going to show you the type of information
[23]
your admin has access to,
[25]
and what they can extract from the system.
[27]
So Teams has its own dedicated admin center.
[30]
Let's get to it by going to show all,
[33]
and going to the Teams admin center.
[36]
Now let's take a look at the different reports
[39]
that are available to them.
[42]
So under analytics and reports,
[44]
we have different reports available here.
[47]
So for example, apps usage.
[50]
Let's go with the last 30 days, and run the report.
[54]
So here we can see the different types of apps
[57]
that are used within Teams.
[59]
In this case, there are four Microsoft apps,
[62]
and two third-party apps.
[64]
Now, this information is not by user, it's in general.
[68]
So we can see they're two active users
[71]
that use Trello, there four active users that use Teams,
[74]
and so on.
[75]
But we can't see which user used this application here.
[80]
Let's go back to our reports.
[82]
If your company has calling plans in place,
[85]
you can get information about the number of minutes
[88]
that users spent in calls
[90]
and also the cost of the calls, by running these reports.
[94]
Under Teams device usage,
[96]
you get to see what type of device they're using
[99]
to get to Teams.
[100]
Whether it's Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and so on.
[104]
What about Teams usage?
[107]
Let's go and run this report
[109]
and see what we get.
[111]
So here we have the list of the different Teams
[114]
and we get to see how many messages were posted
[118]
within a Team, how many replies there were,
[121]
urgent messages, reactions, mentions
[124]
and meetings that were organized in the Team.
[128]
Now if you click on a Team here,
[130]
you get to see all the members of the Team
[134]
and if you click on a specific member,
[136]
you can find out a bit more about their activity in Teams.
[140]
For example, this person was in two meetings
[143]
and one call.
[145]
Under call history, you get to see all the calls
[149]
that this person was in.
[151]
You can also see the duration of the call
[154]
and the participants.
[156]
So for example, on this one, if I just click on it,
[159]
I get to see who this meeting was with,
[162]
the duration of the call is here,
[164]
and I have more technical information
[166]
about the devices they used for connection
[170]
and also the IP address and so on.
[172]
Now let's go back to the usage reports
[176]
and see what we have under the Teams user activity.
[181]
When I run the report here,
[183]
I get an overview of the total number of channel messages,
[186]
reply messages and so on,
[187]
but here I have the display name of the people
[191]
and their activity in Teams.
[192]
So how many channel messages each person sent.
[196]
Reply messages, post messages, chat messages,
[199]
total meetings.
[201]
So here it's by user and not global anymore.
[205]
So how many one-on-one calls there was,
[208]
the total audio time, total video time,
[211]
even screen sharing time,
[213]
and their last activity.
[215]
It doesn't have a time stamp,
[217]
it just have the date of their last activity.
[221]
Okay, so this is the information they can see by user.
[225]
Now what we looked at here is for Teams only.
[228]
But what about the other apps?
[230]
Do we get more information by person?
[233]
Well, let's go back to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
[236]
Let's take a look at reports.
[238]
Here we have the productivity score.
[241]
Now, this is on organization level only.
[245]
So here it says, scores are not provided
[247]
at the individual user level.
[250]
This way you get to compare your organization
[253]
to a peer benchmark.
[254]
It breaks it down into different categories as well,
[258]
but all of this is on organizational level.
[262]
Now let's go to usage and see what we get here.
[266]
These reports show how people in the business
[269]
are using 365 services.
[271]
If I scroll down I can see how many active users
[275]
are using Microsoft 365 services
[278]
and I can see this by service.
[281]
Then I get to see the Microsoft 365 apps,
[284]
but again this is general.
[286]
So this is on organization level,
[288]
I can't exactly see here which active user
[292]
is using this app.
[294]
I can also see email activity
[297]
and Microsoft Teams activity.
[299]
But let's take a closer look at this report here,
[302]
so let's go to view more, and let's scroll down.
[305]
Here I get to see all the user names,
[308]
and I can see their last activities for certain services.
[312]
So here when was the last time the user read
[315]
or sent an email?
[317]
When was the last time they did something in OneDrive,
[319]
or they did something in SharePoint, in Skype?
[323]
Then we have Yammer here,
[325]
and the last activity in Microsoft Teams.
[328]
Okay, so this is the information we get on user level.
[333]
The other information is all available
[335]
on organizational level.
[337]
So this is what can be currently tracked
[339]
with Microsoft Teams.
[341]
In my experience, working with a remote team,
[343]
it's always better to assign tasks and objectives.
[347]
For example, using Planner,
[348]
rather than micro-managing each person
[350]
and tracking their working hours.
[353]
If you want to find out more about Planner,
[355]
check out this video
[357]
which is going to give you a complete introduction.
[359]
