Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.

You need this if you are new to Microsoft teams or want to learn more about it. The author has in-depth knowledge about Microsoft teams and I highly recommend reading this book for beginners and intermediate students.

I have been a frequent user of teams for work and for various external purposes as well. Before I got this book, I was under the impression that I am aware of everything teams can do. This book helped me explore teams through its various crucial chapters such as – Teams templates, Microsoft Viva, extending Teams uses through external apps and more.

Amazon Customer Dec 16, 2021

One thing that I especially like about this book is although it is meant for experienced Microsoft professionals, it starts from teaching Microsoft Teams basics including topics like teams plans, web clients, desktop clients, creating a channel or a tab and more. It explains in detail the Teams' core features like search, filter, commands, customizing teams with custom status messages and focus time. It helped me brush up on the fundamentals before I dive deep into the vast details that it explores.

I have read the first three chapters. In my current position, we use MS Teams. Based on what I’ve read so far, it makes what we use much more sense.

NATHAN CHAMBERLAIN Feb 27, 2022

Microsoft MVP João Ferreira released the second edition of his new Microsoft Teams guide in late December 2021, making this one of the most up-to-date Teams books currently available. Other books available are geared exclusively towards certification and/or administrator responsibilities. João’s book reaches a broader audience, sharing important information every Teams user should know.What I feel really adds value in this book is João provides more than just how-to. You’ll find scenarios and examples throughout the book in which João describes how particular features and tools are used in realistic business scenarios. You’ll also find more than theoretical information because of João’s step-by-step guidance through specific tasks, such as how to create a new team from a template.And while it’s important to know how to create a team and channels, João takes it a further step to make sure readers not only understand the steps involved, but also the implications in the background. For example, when readers create a team they’ll discover the other Microsoft 365 group resources that are built to support that team simultaneously.João has put together a clear and concise reference guide packed with realistic scenarios and ideas you could refer to regularly. This guide will also be a great gift for co-workers, new hires, and even seasoned administrators since there is truly content for all levels in this book. Personally, I really appreciated that João made sure this new release also included newer features, such as Shared channels, ensuring it’s the most up-to-date Teams reference possible.
