<p>IT Services recently migrated many Webex softphone users to Teams Phone.</p>
<p>As a result, users may have received a message from Microsoft stating their license will be deactivated soon. (See screenshot above.) <b>It is a legitimate message from Microsoft.</b></p>
<p>All 麻豆AV faculty and staff are assigned Microsoft 365 licenses that provide access to applications such as Teams, Outlook, OneDrive, Word, and Excel. As part of the recent migration, IT Services changed the <b>type</b> of Microsoft 365 license assigned to some users.</p>Fri, 13 Dec 2024 14:54:10 +0000admin5243 at /inbDo not use Read.AI for 麻豆AV purposes

<p><a href="#francais"><i>La version fran莽aise suit.</i></a></p>
<p>We have received reports of a Read.AI bot attending or attempting to attend online meetings organized by 麻豆AV faculty and staff. The bot uses generative AI to create a text summarizing a meeting鈥檚 discussions and decisions; it then shares a link to that document with all participants.</p>
<p>麻豆AV must vet all IT solutions to ensure they safeguard data privacy and security. <strong>Read.AI has not been approved for teaching, research, or administrative activities at the University.</strong></p>Tue, 10 Dec 2024 16:56:31 +0000admin5242 at /inbMicrosoft Teams update: Private Teams only for enhanced security!

<p>麻豆AV鈥檚 Emergency Notification System allows you to opt in your mobile device to receive alerts during time-sensitive situations and disruptions in the use of various buildings on campus.</p>
<p>In the past, some mobile phone carriers only allowed voice messages, not SMS text messaging. Today, all carriers support SMS, so <strong>we will switch all Emergency Notification System messaging to SMS for mobile phones starting September 18</strong>.</p>
<p>If your personal mobile device is configured to use text-to-speech, SMS notifications from 麻豆AV will be read aloud.</p>
