Providing a podcast program for your company doesn’t have to be a herculean effort.

Here are some issues to consider when cobbling together a podcast program from Microsoft Teams or other solutions that are not focused on podcasting or podcast delivery.
Systems like Microsoft Teams require many moving parts and a large buy-in which often results in inferior content and delivery. Here’s what you’ll need to get up and running…
| Microsoft 365 or Office 365 suite and domain setup |
| Synchronized identities to Azure Active Directory |
| Understanding of how Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Teams interact |
| Setup Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive to interact with Microsoft Teams |
| Attach Microsoft 365 groups to Microsoft Teams |
At the end of the day, systems like Microsoft Teams still leave you with the arduous task of delivering your final podcast to employees and customers in a secure way to wherever they are located.
Engaging content is a must with any platform you use. Some companies try to use Microsoft Teams recordings for their podcast content. While including meeting recordings into your program can be good, Microsoft Teams falls short in many ways…
| Connection issues during recording |
| Login Issues to get everyone together |
| Support issues when things go wrong |
| Random freezes during recording |
| Incompatibility with mics, cameras, & headphones |
| Video can be blurry, low res, pixelated, or missing |
| Audio can be bad, stuttering, distorted, or missing |
| Computer mics sound hollow and unpleasant |

Gaining access to the recorded audio/video files from these platforms can be somewhat sketchy. If you don’t manage your media assets quickly and efficiently you might just lose out on good content. Looking at Microsoft Teams, here are some hazards to be aware of…
| Saving to Microsoft Stream doesn’t always work |
| Saved recordings don’t always play |
| Saved recordings won’t always download |
| Chat isn’t available in the video |
| Microsoft Stream storage is $12/user/month |
| Microsoft Stream recordings expire after 7 days |
| Quotas can limit length of recording |
Using Microsoft Teams’ audio/video assets as podcast content can be difficult and isn’t the greatest way to convey your message to employees, prospects, and customers. Check out our infographic on how to podcast from home to see how easy it can be to make quality content for your deserving crews.
