Some important announcements came out of our July Academic/ITS meeting; please take note (Don’t miss #5!) and contact us if you have questions!

1. WebEx is now the video manager in Canvas; anyone at Baylor may use WebEx/Canvas for webinar meetings.
2. Microsoft Office is being converted to the Click To Run version in July.
3. The Code 42 CrashPlan application on your computers will be upgraded this week to a much improved (faster) version.
4. Adobe acquired Mettle (used in 360 VR applications) and should be in our bundle in January.
5. Your email is now being scanned by Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection software; you may see warning messages added to your emails. Please report any unwanted email getting thru or desired email being blocked as these settings are tweaked.
6. Skype for Business was activated for one school but other apps are recommended for video chats (WebEx, Teams, regular Skype)
7. You have a free subscription to Lynda.com but this may go away as few are using the service. Use it if you need it!
