Proof we're not bluffing

The film spotlights collaboration security in the modern workplace—specifically how attackers exploit Microsoft Teams with social engineering tactics like impersonating IT support to trick users into installing malware. It positions Microsoft Defender for Office 365 as the safety net across where people actually work, calling out advanced protection capabilities in Teams, signals integrated into the Microsoft SOC platform, time-of-click URL protection, detonation of suspicious links and files, user reporting for suspicious messages and false positives, correlated alerts across Defender, and threat hunting across external Teams messages and URL-based indicators—ending with a clear CTA to aka.ms/MDO under the Microsoft Security banner.

We produced this as a full, end-to-end brand film: shaping the story up front, writing to the message, and building a clean visual plan before the edit ever starts. For this one, we pulled it off entirely with stock footage—lower cost, faster turnaround, and still plenty of cinematic shine—then brought it home with a polished edit, color, sound design, and delivery-ready extras like captions, audio description, and thumbnails. The benefit is simple: you get a bingeable, worthy spot with serious IT swagger, plus calm hand-holding through every step (including the parts where timelines get a little feral).

Aria Hanson, a product manager at Microsoft focused on commercial AI and Windows updates, offers a practical “untangling AI” tour of what Microsoft provides and how it fits together. She starts with security and compliance as the foundation, then explains why data governance matters even more once users can ask tools like M365 Copilot to instantly surface documents—highlighting sensitivity labels and governance with Microsoft Purview, and organizing data with Microsoft Fabric. From there she moves into building AI-powered apps across client and cloud: Windows Copilot Runtime and Onyx Runtime for running models locally on NPUs (especially on Copilot+ PCs), and Azure AI Foundry for larger cloud-based workloads—often used together. For developers, she calls out GitHub Copilot as a productivity boost. For end users, she breaks down Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (rebranded on January 15) with Entra ID protections, and Windows experiences on Copilot+ PCs—including improved Windows Search, Windows Studio Effects, Click to Do, live captions, live translations, and Recall, which she notes will be off by default for commercial devices and only enabled if IT chooses.

We produced this as a pre-recorded streamed session engineered for clarity: we shaped the talk into a clean narrative arc, designed the graphics to keep concepts and product names easy to track, and guided the presenter so the pacing stayed human and confident. Then we captured and refined the program in post—tightening transitions, smoothing the flow, and ensuring the technical details landed without viewer whiplash—before streaming it out to multiple social channels through our remote studio and platform. The result is a polished on-air moment now, plus an on-demand asset that keeps explaining the story long after the stream is over.

Katie Anderson (product marketing) and Christiaan Brinkhoff unpack “Migrating Windows to the Cloud” as part of the Microsoft Technical Takeoff, showing how the Windows Cloud story fits together—from Azure Virtual Desktop’s evolution to today’s Windows 365 lineup. They break down Windows 365 Enterprise vs Windows 365 Frontline (including shift-friendly flexibility), when high-GPU Cloud PCs make sense, and how to plan a “Windows 11 your way” migration while keeping users productive. The session also spotlights the modern access experience through the Windows App, purpose-built hardware with Windows 365 Link and its boot-to-cloud flow, and hands-on admin work like building provisioning policies, choosing region and images, enabling single sign-on for a smoother sign-in experience, and using passwordless options like FIDO keys.

We produced this pre-recorded streamed session to feel like a confident live broadcast, without the usual “who touched the audio?” energy. Our team handled show development, built a cohesive graphics package, and guided the presenters through run-of-show beats so the story stayed clear and the demos stayed clean. Then we captured, tightened, and polished the program in post—turning dense technical material into a smooth viewing experience—and delivered a reliable multi-channel stream from our remote studio and streaming platform, plus an on-demand version ready to keep performing after the live moment.

Harjit Dhaliwal (senior product marketing manager, Cloud Endpoints) and Ben Watt (cloud solution architect and accessibility champion) go under the hood on enabling accessible Windows 11 experiences—specifically the features that rely on speech and audio intelligence. They recap Live Captions and Voice Access (including handy shortcuts like Windows+Ctrl+L and Windows+Ctrl+S), then focus on the IT-pro part: deploying the right speech packs and languages at scale, preinstalling Natural Voices for Narrator so screen reading is easier to listen to all day, and avoiding the classic “the feature exists but nobody can turn it on” trap. The session gets concrete with Microsoft Intune workflows, Microsoft Store distribution details (including the need for product IDs for speech pack apps), and even a practical registry-based option for enabling Voice Access before sign-in—so users can access the feature without needing local admin rights.

We produced this pre-recorded streamed session as a clean, confident on-air tutorial—equal parts practical and watchable. We shaped the segment flow, built the graphics package to keep the settings-and-demos easy to follow, and worked with the speakers so every “click here, then here” moment lands clearly (without wandering into the weeds). Then we captured, polished, and delivered the stream across multiple social channels using our remote studio and streaming platform—giving our client a smooth live-style experience and a replay-ready asset that keeps helping long after the broadcast.

Sandeep Patnaik (who leads Microsoft’s “like-local” team) is joined by Rinku Dalwani, Angelo Gacad-Sioson, and Jordan Marchese to unpack how Microsoft is making Windows in the cloud feel suspiciously local—especially for demanding workloads. Using a game-developer scenario (two 4K monitors at 60 fps, instant connection, reliable peripherals), they walk through the streaming and connectivity tech behind Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop in the Windows App: RDP Shortpath (plus TURN support) to chase the shortest network route, multimedia redirection for video playback on the endpoint, and optimizations for real-time communications like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. They also dig into graphics and platform improvements, including hardware encode/decode support for HEVC and color formats like 4:4:4 with H.264 and 4:2:0 with HEVC, plus what’s coming next—RDP Multipath for higher reliability across multiple UDP/TCP paths, faster connection times (30 seconds down to ~10), quicker drive and folder enumeration at scale, and better peripheral performance for devices like scanners, pens, and cameras.

We produced this as a pre-recorded streamed session that feels clean, quick, and human—because we did the heavy lifting before the audience ever hit play. We shaped the run-of-show, designed the graphics package, and worked with the speakers so the handoffs and demos land smoothly (including the Multipath walkthrough) without that “live demo roulette” energy. Then we captured, edited, and delivered the final program through our remote studio and streaming platform to multiple social channels—so the content comes across polished and effortless, and the replay holds up just as well as the premiere.

Joe Lurie (Microsoft Intune Customer Acceleration team) and Danny Guillory (product manager for Intune, responsible for Enterprise App Management) take the Microsoft Technical Takeoff for Windows and Intune audience through how Enterprise App Management (EAM) streamlines app packaging and updates inside the Intune admin center—complete with a growing app catalog and a guided upgrade experience that flags newer ISV versions so admins can update without hunting installers, commands, and detection rules. Then they get delightfully nerdy: an overview of Microsoft Graph for Intune, how RBAC and permissions carry over, how to use browser developer tools to spot the Graph calls Intune is making, and how to run those same calls in your preferred Graph tooling. Danny demos Graph in the beta namespace, shows how to pull EAM catalog data as JSON, export it into Excel, and use IDs like productId to automate tasks—like selecting apps and adding them to your tenant—so app management can scale beyond manual clicks.

We produced this Tech Takeoff session as a pre-recorded streamed event built for clarity and momentum: tight show flow, graphics that keep viewers oriented, and just enough polish to make the technical details feel surprisingly approachable. Our remote studio workflow let the speakers stay focused on the content while we handled the pacing, capture, and post polish—then delivered a smooth multi-channel stream that looks confident live and still plays beautifully on-demand.

Bill Calero, product manager for Microsoft Cloud PKI, teams up with Jack Poehlman, principal product manager, for a deep-dive session from the Microsoft Technical Takeoff for Windows and Intune on how to configure and run Cloud PKI like you’ve done it a hundred times (even if yesterday was your first date). They level-set what Cloud PKI delivers today—cloud-based certificate authorities that issue client authentication certificates to Intune-enrolled devices across Windows, iOS, macOS, and Android, with full lifecycle management for issuance, renewal, and revocation—without standing up NDES. Bill walks through the anatomy of setting up a root CA and issuing CA, reporting and searching leaf certificates, and a newer capability for deleting a certificate authority when you truly mean it. He also covers SCEP profile gotchas that matter in Cloud PKI, like stricter Subject Alternative Name validation (including URI formatting per RFC 3986) and the fact that “Any Purpose” EKUs aren’t allowed because…well…they’re a security gremlin in a trench coat. The session closes with practical notes on platform limits (like CA count) and experience improvements in the Intune console, including the lift of the 1,000-certificate display limit via an updated, scrollable leaf certificate view—and a teaser that post-quantum cryptography support is on the horizon.

We produced this pre-recorded streamed session with the kind of calm, controlled momentum that makes complex technical content feel surprisingly human. We built the run-of-show so the narrative stays clear, designed the graphics package to keep viewers oriented, and worked with the speakers to land the “watch this, now this” moments without losing the thread. Then we captured everything through our remote studio workflow, shaped it in post for pacing and clarity, and delivered a reliable multi-channel stream—so the experts can focus on being experts, not part-time broadcast engineers.
