Alex Pearce presented on next generation portals in Office 365, including Office 365 Groups, Office 365 Videos, Office Mix, and Sway. Office 365 Groups allows for easy collaboration across teams by connecting people, information, and applications through shared Exchange distribution groups, SharePoint site collections, and Azure Active Directory groups. Office 365 Videos uses Azure Media Services for video streaming and is currently in first release. Office Mix is a PowerPoint add-on that allows exporting presentations to an Office Mix website or Office 365 Videos as MP4 files. Sway is a digital storytelling app accessible through the browser or iOS app that is currently in consumer preview.

8. Office 365 Groups
Getting things done at work means sharing information and collaborating across
ad hoc groups and project teams. But, often times the tools we use to bring
people together are different in each app—distribution groups in Outlook, buddy
lists in Lync, groups in Yammer. That’s why we’re introducing Groups in Office
365, so you can easily connect with the colleagues, information and applications
you need to do more.
