IT Only Takes a Minute Returns

IT Only Takes A Minute is Back

IT Only Takes A Minute is back and we're better than ever. IT Only Takes A Minute is your update on all things related to ESU IT. The latest episode focuses on the guidelines for HornetTV, cyber security awareness, and the success of Hornet365.

You're probably more aware of HornetTV than you know. HornetTV's are located all across campus; from HPER to Plumb Hall, from the Science Hall to the Sauder Alumni Center. There's even HornetTVs in the Newman Medical Center. Hornet TV is the digital pulse of Emporia State University, displaying a 24/7 live stream of the latest news, events, video content and more, all tailored to the ESU community. If you happen to miss some of the content, you can always watch it online at Hornet365.com or the 'ESU IT Video' channel on YouTube.

Have an event or opportunity coming up that relates to ESU? Both students and faculty can submit digital posters online at Hornet365.com to be displayed on HornetTV.

Before making a post, it’s important to make sure that you’re familiar with the Hornet TV guidelines.

• Digital posters must be submitted in a 16:9 aspect ratio
• Digital posters must be in an image format (.PNG, .JPG, or .TIF)
• Digital posters must be related to an ESU sponsored event, activity, or campus life

For a full list of guidelines, click here, or scroll to the bottom of the Hornet365 homepage and click the link under Hornet TV called ‘guidelines’.

On January 28th, the ESU information security team tabled in Memorial Union, handing out goodies and information on how to stay protected online. ESU faculty and students can learn more about how to protect themselves and others by becoming a Cyber Security Ambassador. The information security team has been avidly recruiting to find the next ambassador.

Last, but not least. Hornet365 reached 1,000,000 unique page views in under one year. That's a wildly successful year, and we couldn't have done it without all of you. The portal is at the heart of all things digital for our current faculty, staff, students and visitors.

We're always working to add more content and improve your experience.  If you have suggestions, use the feedback button at the bottom of hornet365.com.

Microsoft Teams Tricks!

Microsoft Teams is the hub for team collaboration in Office 365.Teams allow ideas, content, and tools to be shared among people effectively. It allows more engagement between coworkers and includes great tools for collaboration. Microsoft Teams can be used within the browser or downloaded from on your PC or Mac, or even download a copy for your mobile devices via the app store.  

Here are four tricks you can use with the Teams chat feature: 

1) @Mentions call attention to your message. 

In a chat or channel conversation, type @, followed by your teammate's name or email address, and select them. They'll get a notification in their Activity feed about the conversation. 

2) In the bottom left corner of Teams is where you'll find Help. Select Topics, then choose from a list of help topics, or check out the Training tab to watch short how-to's on the basics of Teams.

                                                                     

3) Use a keyboard instead of a mouse? Teams has a shortcut for you. In the Teams app, press ALT + / to display a list of available keyboard shortcuts. 

4) Add some personality to your chat with Memes! Under Stickers below your conversation bar, scroll down to Meme, pick your picture and create your own caption!
