Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote for Mac

Historically we have released a new version of Office for Mac approximately six to eight months after Office for Windows. However, following the release of Office 365 we made the conscious decision to prioritize mobile first and cloud first scenarios for an increasing number of people who are getting things done on-the-go more frequently. This meant delivering and continuing to improve Office on a variety phones (iPhone, Windows Phone, and Android) and tablets (iPad and Windows)—brought together by the cloud (OneDrive) to help people stay better organized and get things done with greater efficiency at work, school, home and everywhere between.

Continuing our commitment to our valued Mac customers, we are pleased to disclose the roadmap for the next version of Office for Mac—including Word for Mac, Excel for Mac, PowerPoint for Mac and OneNote for Mac.

In the first half of 2015 we will release a public beta for the next version of Office for Mac, and in the second half of 2015 we will make the final release available. Office 365 commercial and consumer subscribers will get the next version at no additional cost, and we will release a perpetual license of Office for Mac in the same timeframe.

Get started on PowerShell for Office 365

Starting today, PowerShell for Office 365, a new website designed to help Office 365 IT administrators get started on Windows PowerShell for Office 365 is now live. Announced at Microsoft Ignite, this website is targeted at IT administrators with little to no experience with Windows PowerShell. The website is focused on simple scenarios that are focused entirely for Office 365 administration.

Learning PowerShell for Office 365 makes the job of IT admins easier and more efficient. For example, say your company goes through a large reorganization where departments change names and move to different management. If you are dealing with a few changes and a few people, the Office 365 Admin Center can quickly be used to make the changes. However, consider the task at hand if the changes involved hundreds or even a thousand users. While the Office 365 Admin Center is more than capable of making all the changes, the amount of work and the time it would take would be massive if the IT admin had to edit the users one–by-one.

With PowerShell the updates can be made in three steps. First, you export the list of users into a CSV (comma separate values) file. Second, you make the necessary edits in the CSV file. Third, you import the edited user list back into Office 365. With a few PowerShell scripts, you have just automated the process of updating the company directory to match your organization. And you saved yourself significant amounts of time.

PowerShell does not replace the Office 365 Admin Center. In fact, they are complementary tools and should both be used. The strength of PowerShell only really becomes apparent when you need to handle scenarios such as:

• Adding or editing a large number of users.
• Using multiple filters to sort through data.
• Exporting data such as user lists and groups.
• Configuring less commonly used settings.

The new PowerShell for Office 365 website is targeted to get you up to speed with PowerShell as soon as possible. The website is organized to provide you with the following right from the start including:

• Consolidated guide to help you setup your machine to run PowerShell.
• Simple and applicable common scenarios.
• Sample scripts you can download, edit and then use right away.
• Links to resources such as TechNet to get more details.
• Connect with your peers and with us in the Office 365 Network.

By using the PowerShell for Office 365 website, you start the journey in learning a valuable tool for administering Office 365 to help you complete your tasks quicker and get more done. Get started on PowerShell for Office 365 today.

Try the OneDrive app for Windows 10 on your PC to access all your files

The new OneDrive sync client already comes pre-installed on Windows 10 PCs, allowing users to easily access their synced files through File Explorer. But this new app is a great touch-friendly complement to sync that lets you open, edit and share any of your personal or work files without having to sync them to your device.

Additional features previously only available in the browser experience are also available, such as restoring files from the Recycle Bin, easily dragging and dropping files to the app to upload them, quickly accessing recent documents─which will open directly in the Office applications on your computer─finding files shared with you by others and more.


This update delivers OneDrive experiences to even more devices, and we will bring other capabilities to this platform over time. As we announced last week, this app will also provide an easy and lightweight way to access your company’s SharePoint libraries, and we look forward to sharing additional details on what else we’re working on very soon.

Move all your communications to Skype for Business Online

Today, at the Microsoft Ignite Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, we announced several new Skype for Business innovations that enhance the Office 365 collaboration experience across devices and empower IT professionals to deliver modern communications to their end users. Read on for more about what we announced today.

The best user experience for workplace communication

Over the past year we’ve been working on making the best experience for communicating with others, across all the devices you use for work. We are excited to announce that the new Skype for Business for Mac will be available in October. The new client has been written from the ground up using the modern Mac programming language, Swift. It provides high-definition audio and video, in addition to features like one-click join for meetings and edge-to-edge video and desktop sharing to make full use of a screen.

As part of our efforts to build deeper native integration on iOS and Android, we’re also pleased to be rolling out enhancements to the Skype for Business experience on iPhone staring in October. Using the Apple CallKit framework, Skype for Business calls now work just like a cellular call on your iPhone. You can accept a call via the lock screen or put a Skype for Business call on hold to take a cellular phone call—it works just like a phone. Both clients deliver a first-class Skype for Business experience to Mac and iOS users.

We’re also pleased to announce that we’ll deliver a preview of real-time transcription and translation in Skype Meeting Broadcast by the end of 2016. Skype Meeting Broadcast in Office 365 lets you produce, host and broadcast meetings to large online audiences. These new services will provide live closed-captioning for presentations spoken in English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese and German, and allow viewers to select their preferred language for captions. More languages will be released throughout preview.

The next generation of Skype Room Systems

Today, we’re announcing the next generation of Skype Room Systems (formerly Project Rigel). Skype Room Systems bring the Skype for Business meeting experience, with rich HD audio and video, to every meeting room. With the new Skype Room Systems, your team can work like you’re all in one place, quickly and easily join meetings, make phone calls, and instantly share content in the room and remotely—all from an elegant touch screen console device. Transform your meeting rooms and make any space a Skype meeting place. Logitech SmartDock for Skype Room System bundles are available to reserve today, and will start shipping in a few weeks. You can also reserve Crestron’s Skype Room Systems, shipping at the end of this year, and the Polycom MSR Series for Skype Room Systems, which will start shipping early first quarter of 2017.

We are also pleased to announce the preview of Polycom RealConnect Service for Office365. This service, hosted on Microsoft Azure, enables non-native video teleconference (VTC) systems from Cisco and others to join a Skype for Business meeting. This means you can keep your existing investments and non-Skype for Business endpoint devices can leverage Skype for Business Meetings all in a seamless experience.

The power of global availability and capability

With the scale of Microsoft, you can use Office 365 to manage your communications globally. For online meetings, today we are announcing the latest geographic expansion of PSTN Conferencing. Customers in Australia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Monaco, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Uruguay and Vietnam can now purchase audio conferencing as part of Office 365. People can join Skype for Business meetings using local numbers from 90 countries and 400 cities across the globe—virtually everywhere. Default city numbers are available to every Office 365 customer, and customers can now acquire dedicated toll numbers or toll-free numbers in hundreds of cities across the globe via the Office 365 admin portal. Starting in October, we are also releasing previews of PSTN Calling in France and Spain for testing. PSTN Calling plans are already generally available in the United States, United Kingdom and Puerto Rico.

Office 365 administrators can decide where they want to provision their users for meetings. By the end of the calendar year, Skype for Business will support regionally hosted meetings. Users within multinational organizations can be provisioned in the datacenter region nearest to their physical location—reducing latency, delivering high quality media and keeping the data in the same region.

We’ve also been striving to create better experiences while users are in a meeting. Starting later this year, a new dynamic conference IDs feature will also be standard for all Skype for Business online meetings. Dynamic conference IDs provide a unique conference ID for each Skype for Business meeting, offering enhanced security and smoother transitions between back-to-back meetings. If a meeting organizer’s meeting is running long, the meeting will no longer be interrupted by a guest of the next scheduled meeting.

For voice services, Skype for Business Cloud PBX is already available worldwide, helping IT administrators realize significant operational efficiencies with a complete solution for user provisioning and call control in Office 365. Office 365 customers can use Skype for Business Cloud Connector Edition to connect our Cloud PBX with your existing telephony environments using the telco carrier of your choice.

In October, we’ll roll out previews of Organizational Auto Attendant for call treatment and Call Queues for queueing and routing of inbound calls. Configured by the admin in the Office 365 admin console or through Windows PowerShell, these powerful features let customers quickly migrate entire offices to Cloud PBX for voice.

Lastly, by the end of the year, Skype for Business Advanced Analytics will be in preview. Advanced Analytics is a powerful single pane of glass that enables customers to manage their global communications using a complete set of tools that provide an end-to-end view of the Skype for Business online environment—from users to entire enterprise. Our most recent enhancement gives you built-in intelligence to optimize your network for the best end-user experiences and proactively drive adoption.

Deployment excellence with the Skype Operations Framework

With the launch of Skype Operations Framework (SOF), we are expanding on an end-to-end planning, deployment and operations methodology and tool set for Skype for Business. The framework provides a comprehensive guide and toolset for implementing and managing a reliable, cost-effective communications service with operational excellence. Today, we’re announcing the availability of the Cloud Migration release, which extends SOF and will play a critical role in helping our customers and partners migrate from current on-premises deployments to Skype for Business Online using the SOF lifecycle of Plan, Deliver and Operate. Our SOF Partners also play a critical role in helping customers plan, deliver and operate Skype for Business Online successfully. Since the launch of SOF, hundreds of organizations have undertaken SOF training, and leading partners, including Modality, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Avanade, Unify Square, Tata Communications and Carousel, now offer SOF-aligned services to customers.
