Last week we ran a webinar for some customers using Teams Live Events (which is awesome once you learns all the ins and outs). The event is later going to be edited and uploaded online. For that we need the file.
To download the file, start Teams and Open the meeting from the calendar view.
Go to the Live Events Resources – Recording and click the download symbol
This is the recorded mp4 file in 1280 x 720
That is it

So… Apparently Flow is not Flow anymore 🙂 Flow is now called Power Automate but since the actual flows still are called flows I will keep the name Flow Friday…
Last week we startad posting news to Microsoft Teams… today we are expanding that concept… Same basic flow with a nice look and more news sources
Since we are not able to add multiple trigger to a Flow (yet?? *hoping*) and I am too lazy to build multiple flows… that would be cheating.
The multiple news sources requires a workaround using an external service called RSSUnify (there are other services that you can use). Go to RSSUnify and add all your feeds.
Then you copy the resulting RSS URL from RSSUnify and add it to Microsoft Flow
In order to refine the flow even more I want to make the Teams posting a little nicer. To do that I use the action “Post your own adaptive card as the flow bot to a channel (Preview)”. To design the look of the card you can either write your own JSON design or you can use this tool. I created a minimal card and the post information.
The card posting action has issues handling HTML which means that I will have to convert the summary into Plain Text. In order to fix this I add an action called Html to Text and then add the result to the adaptive card.

The other day I asked my colleagues to provide me with good real world problems that I could help them solve in Power Platform. The first challenge was “Could you add news feeds in Microsoft Teams”. No problems 🙂
Create a new Flow and start with the RSS component and add the adress to the RSS feed.
Add the Microsoft Teams component called Post a Message V3 (Preview), select your Teams Tenant and the channel where you want to post the news posts.
Create the message and add Feed Title, Primary Feed Link and Feed Summary. In my case I want the title to be clickable and go to the original post in a new window. This required a small trick. Add a link from the UI using dummy text and link and the go to the code view ( </> ). Here you can replace both text and link with Feed Title and Primary Feed Link
Now we wait… for a post
That is it for today…
Keep Flowing
