How to create trusted network for MFA in Office365

What is MFA?

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a method of authentication that requires the use of more than one verification method and adds a second layer of security to user sign-ins and transactions. You can choose the following verification methods:

• A randomly generated pass code (Microsoft Authenticator App or SMS)
• A phone call
• A smart card (virtual or physical)
• A biometric device

Enable MFA

When you don’t use MFA, but want to enable this. Follow this guide (Microsoft).

Be more productive with some new features in Teams

With the first day of Ignite we already have some new feature announcements for Microsoft Teams

With meeting recording in Teams, you or other invitees who missed the meeting can playback recorded audio, video and content at any time. Pull up a transcript, powered by Microsoft Stream, and search for keywords so you can optimize your time while getting caught up.

Through partner offerings from Polycom, BlueJeans and Pexip, a full portfolio of legacy devices can now be full-fledged audio/video participants in Teams meetings with content sharing.
