Last year I had the pleasure of publishing my first book with Packt and never thought that it would be possible to get my second title published just 14 months after the first one.

None of this would have been possible without the support of my family, my girlfriend, Francisca Peixoto, and my friends, who gave me confidence and helped me to keep up the writing pace.

Thanks to Rene Modery, who made the two-handed writing process a breeze; thanks to everyone at Packt who taught me so much about the book-writing process and offered valuable suggestions that ultimately will make you a Microsoft Teams hero.

Lastly, I want to thank my friend, David Ramalho, for assuming the technical reviewer role for this book and for providing valuable insights that helped to improve this book.

Rene Modery is a Microsoft Office Apps and Services MVP, working as an APAC Digital Workplace Project Manager in Singapore. For more than 15 years, Rene has lived and worked in Europe and the Asia Pacific in various regional and global roles. The main focus of his work nowadays lies in Microsoft 365 and the Digital Workplace, especially in providing guidance and change management for regional projects and initiatives. He is a regular speaker at user groups and conferences and generally likes to share his knowledge and experiences with others.

This is the first book I have had the pleasure of publishing with Packt, and I would like to thank everyone on the Packt team who helped with their guidance and support during the writing.

Thanks also go to my co-author, Joo, who was a great help and guide during the writing process, and who regularly supported me in getting chapters completed.

Lastly, I want to thank my wife, Wenna, and my family for their support. None of this would have been possible without having some dedicated time for writing, often at the expense of spending time together. Thank you for letting me contribute my knowledge and experience to this book.

David Ramalho is a Microsoft MVP in Apps and Services, a SharePoint developer, a content creator, and the owner of the SharePoint-tricks blog.
