Connaissez-vous CAMEO pour Power Point ?

Cela fait longtemps que je n'ai plus publié sur ce blog mais je reviens avec vous afin de vous mettre la puce à l'oreille au sujet de CAMEO.

Ce nouvel outil, permet d'insérer votre flux en direct d’appareil photo directement dans une diapositive PowerPoint. Puis vous pouvez appliquer les mêmes effets à votre flux d’appareil photo que vous le feriez pour une image ou un autre objet notamment la mise en forme, les transitions et les styles.

Actuellement, Cameo n'est disponible que pour Power Point 365 dans le cadre du programme Insider.

Pour plus de détail, je vous invite à lire cet article : Présentation avec Cameo (microsoft.com)

C'est tout pour aujourd'hui.

Programme MCT, un mois d'avril très animé

Bonjour chers amis et collègues MCT

Vous l’avez probablement noté, ce début de mois d’avril 2022 et fort et riche en annonces et rebondissements par rapport au programme MCT.

L’info la plus contraignante, c’est la suspension du renouvellement des MCT depuis le mois de mars et qui le restera jusqu’en juillet 2022.
Heureusement pour moi, qui ai une date anniversaire début avril, j’avais pris les devants et renouvelé mon MCT en février 2022.

Mais l’actualité qui a fait le buzz sur les réseaux sociaux, c’est le retrait des certifications Office de la liste des certifications éligibles pour l’obtention et le renouvellement de la certification MCT. Cette annonce est tombée le 1^er avril 2022 et le message était :

Beginning July 1st, the MCT program will no longer accept the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certifications. The certification titles included in this change include …

Après une grosse agitation sur la toile, et l’intervention de certains MCT RL, Microsoft a partiellement révisé son annonce pour indiquer que les certifications MOS sont éligibles pour le renouvellement mais pas pour l’entrer dans le programme.  Cette annonce est tombée une semaine plus tard soit le 07 avril 2022.

After receiving feedback from the community, we have reviewed our proposed changes to certifications eligible for the MCT program. We will continue to accept Microsoft Office Specialist certifications as part of acceptance list for existing MCTs only. The certification titles include …

At this time, we will not accept new MCTs to enter the program leveraging the MOS certifications

Attendons de voir ce qu’il en sera l’année prochaine et est ce qu’il sera toujours possible d’enregistrer des formations Office sur MTM

Pour le reste

MCT Town Hall

Un MCT Town Hall est planifié pour le 10 juin 2022, je vous invite à y assister car il me semble que c’est à ce moment que Microsoft va donner les dernières infos en matière d’accès et de renouvellement du programme MCT. Rendez-vous sur le site MCT Central pour réserver votre place.

A new version of the Download Manager Tool has been released

Hi fellow MCT

Like many of us, I received a notification last Friday, from the MCT Program Team indicating that a new version of the “Download Manager” tool for the MCT Learning Download Center has been released.

If you wonder where to go to download it, here is a screen shot to help you.

1. Go to : https://learningdownloadcenter.microsoft.com/
2. Go to “FAQ”
3. Select the “LDM” section
4. Expend the “How to set up LDM tool?” node
5. Click on the “here” link to start the download
   
   
   
   
   

During the download I received a security alert indicating that the app is not trusted. I bypassed id but normally we did not have to get it.

Remember, before installing the new version, you have to remove the previous one.

Visual Studio 2022 is comming !

The announcement was made on April 19th, 2021, the first public preview of Visual Studio 2022 will be released this summer and this is what the Dev team is saying about this new release.

The next major release of Visual Studio will be faster, more approachable, and more lightweight, designed for both learners and those building industrial scale solutions.

For the first time ever, Visual Studio will be 64-bit. The user experience will feel cleaner, intelligent, and action oriented.
