• 
  

  Building team time zone assistant Teams solution with SPFx v1.13, including Viva Connections Card – a Team Time Clock app shown as Teams app, Personal app and Viva Dashboard Card (SPFx web part + Adaptive Card extension).  On Card, see high level information (people and time) and deep link into Teams to schedule meeting experience.  Based on when people prefer to meet (green times), select time by aligning green fields in time slot.  Full code walkthrough, many features.    

  
  

 

Topic:

• 
  

  Microsoft Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio & Visual Studio Code now available for preview.   

  
  

  Did you know a feature in this latest version of the Teams Toolkit is the SPFx dev experience is truly integrated into this Toolkit?  Of course, the build decision is largely a UX hosting decision.  TypeScript devs, will prefer SPFx/M365 hosting while ISVs will gravitate to Azure for external hosting Please share feedback on your SPFx development experience in Teams Toolkit v2.0.
