If you've ever spent 5 minutes hunting through Teams trying to find a meeting recording, there's a feature you should be using.

It's called the Meet app, and it's already built into Teams. No Copilot license required.

The Meet app gives you a single dashboard for every meeting you've had or are about to have. Click on any meeting and you get the agenda, recording, transcript, chat, and shared files, all in one place.

To find it:

1. Open Teams

2. Click the three dots on the left navigation bar

3. Search for "Meet"

4. Right-click and pin it so it stays in your sidebar

Once pinned, you'll see two views: upcoming meetings and past meetings. Click any past meeting to see everything tied to it.

Finding what was discussed in last month's leadership review used to take 5 minutes of digging through your calendar, recordings, and SharePoint.

With Meet, it takes 30 seconds.

If you signed up for AI tools over the past 18 months and haven't reviewed them since, you're probably wasting money.

A March 2026 audit of 102 small businesses found that 87% had significant waste in their AI subscriptions, with a median of $18,000 wasted per year.

Most owners go through the same pattern. You signed up for ChatGPT, then Claude, then a transcription tool, then a meeting note-taker, then a writing assistant. Most of these tools now do what the others do.

Three signs your AI stack needs an audit:
▶️ You're paying for two tools that do the same thing
▶️ Your team stopped using a subscription you're still paying for
▶️ You can't quickly explain the ROI of each tool

While you're at it, check the security too:
✅ Make sure every tool is on a business plan with a "Do Not Train" clause. Consumer plans feed your data into the model.
✅ Remove access for ex-employees. AI tools get forgotten during offboarding.
✅ Check what's connected to your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. AI tools often have access to your email and files you never noticed.

An AI meeting assistant may record audio, create a transcript and store a summary online. Decide which tools employees may use, which meetings they may join, who can access the files and how long they�re kept. Tell everyone before recording. We can help you set the rules.

If an email asks you to download a tool to "view a document," stop and verify before clicking.

A growing attack pattern is tricking employees into installing real IT software on their own machines.

The software is called RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management), and it lets IT companies remotely control computers for support purposes.

Tools like ConnectWise ScreenConnect, Datto RMM, SimpleHelp, N-able, and LogMeIn are all legitimate and digitally signed by reputable vendors.

That's exactly why attackers love them. Antivirus software doesn't flag them as malicious because they aren't malicious. They're just being installed by the wrong person.

In February 2026, Microsoft documented a campaign that hit 29,000 users across 10,000 organizations.

The lure was a fake "IRS Transcript Viewer" email. The download was actually a repackaged ScreenConnect installer.

Once an employee ran it, the attacker had full remote control of their machine.

The same trick is being used with fake Zoom invites, fake Teams calls, and fake DocuSign emails.

A few things you can do:

▶️ Ask your IT provider to maintain an allow-list of approved RMM tools. Anything outside that list gets blocked from installing automatically.

▶️ Train your team that "download this viewer to see your document" is almost always a phishing attempt. Real documents don't require a new program.

▶️ Audit your endpoints for RMM software your IT provider didn't install. If you see something unfamiliar, flag it.

If you're not sure what RMM tools are running on your team's computers right now, that's the first thing to check this week.

If you deleted a OneDrive file recently and went looking for it in your Recycle Bin… surprise, it's not there.

Starting in May 2026, files deleted from OneDrive or SharePoint in the cloud no longer appear in your local Recycle Bin or Trash.

They are removed directly from your device and can only be recovered from the OneDrive or SharePoint web‑based recycle bin.

1. Go to onedrive.com or your SharePoint site

2. Click "Recycle bin" in the left menu

3. Right-click the file and select "Restore"

You typically have 30 days before files move to the second‑stage recycle bin (which most people don’t know about), and up to 93 more days there, depending on your organization’s settings.

After about 123 days, they’re gone for good.

Keep an inventory of company laptops, phones, servers and network equipment. Record each item's model, serial number, assigned person, location, warranty and replacement date. Update it whenever equipment is bought, moved, reassigned or retired. We can help build the list.

Camera and microphone access can stay enabled after you allow a website or app to use it. Review the permissions in Windows and your browser, then remove access for anything you no longer use or recognize.
