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.

Your business email is worth more than your bank account.

Stolen Microsoft 365 credentials remain the most common starting point for SMB breaches in 2026, and the reason isn't just that attackers can read your messages.

Once someone has access to your email, they can reset the password for every other account tied to that address.

Your bank, your accounting software, your CRM, your cloud storage.

Email is the master key to your entire digital business.

What attackers typically do once they get in:

▶️ Set up mailbox forwarding rules so they keep seeing your replies after you change the password

▶️ Send invoice fraud emails to your clients from your real account, often changing wire transfer details

▶️ Sit for weeks, learning your business, before making a move

Three things that meaningfully reduce this risk:

✅ Use phishing-resistant MFA where possible (FIDO2 hardware keys or Windows Hello for Business). Authenticator app prompts are better than nothing, but they can still be bypassed.

✅ Set up Conditional Access policies in Entra ID to block logins from countries you don't operate in.

✅ Review your mailbox forwarding rules monthly. In Outlook, go to Settings > Mail > Forwarding. If you see a rule you didn't create, that's a sign your account is compromised.

The monthly audit takes 5 minutes and it’s one of the highest-leverage security habits you can build.
