SharePoint Maven

Took a break from SharePoint today. Visiting Amish country with kids.

If you watch videos on my YouTube channel, it is quite possible that you utilized the Timestamp functionality – the ability to jump to a certain part of the video quickly.

We have the same functionality in Stream, which is called Chapters.

So, in this article, I would like to explain how to set it up: https://sharepointmaven.com/how-to-add-chapters-to-stream-videos/

Oversharing in SharePoint has been a headache for IT and compliance teams for years. Too often, controlling access depends on site owners making the right decisions, or on complex sensitivity label setups inside Microsoft Purview.

Now, Microsoft has introduced a simpler option directly inside the SharePoint Admin Center.

With one setting, IT teams can help reduce accidental oversharing and tighten access across SharePoint without relying entirely on manual governance.

If SharePoint permissions have ever felt difficult to manage at scale, this is a feature worth paying attention to.

One of the most underrated features in Microsoft Lists? Gallery View.

Instead of looking at rows of data in a traditional grid, Gallery View turns your list into a clean, visual layout that is much easier to browse and interact with, especially when images are involved.

It works great for:

📌 Employee directories
📌 Office locations
📌 Project showcases
📌 Equipment inventories
📌 Team resources

The best part is you do not have to build a standard list view first. You can create a Gallery View from the start and design a more visual experience right away.
