The Microsoft 365 Insiders blog is ending, sorta. kinda. Really, it’s just moving to another part of the Microsoft.com web site.
For the last five years, the Microsoft 365 Insiders blog has been the place where the company boasts about new and changed features in the Insiders or beta versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.
The blog is now moving to the Microsoft Tech Community section. That’s where some Microsoft 365 changes were announced already so this change at least stops the separate locations.
Tech Community also has a reader comment section which can give Insiders a direct opportunity to pose questions about the latest innovation.
Microsoft’s stated reasons are the standard corporate waffle pushed through Copilot for extra doubletalk.
- Enhanced Engagement: The Tech Community is designed for sharing timely information and driving community engagement.
- Community Interaction: The Tech Community facilitates engagement with a larger community of Microsoft 365 users, MVPs, and Community Ambassadors, and enables you to share your thoughts, ask questions, and participate in discussions.
- Access to Resources: The Tech Community provides a wealth of resources, including blog posts, event promotions, and more, all in one place.
- Improved Collaboration: The Tech Community supports better collaboration and interaction, making it easier for you to connect with experts and peers.
- Event Promotion: The Tech Community provides a platform to share blog posts, resources, and promote events like AMAs (Ask Me Anything) sessions,
From now on Microsoft 365 Insiders announcements will be here
