Microsoft just added the option to move meeting chats into their own collapsible section, so they stop cluttering your main list. Chris Menard walks through exactly where to find the setting and how to drag the section wherever you want it. It takes about thirty seconds. Watch the video to see it in action.

Cybersecurity

Most people think phishing means a sketchy email. It does, but that is no longer the only way attackers reach you. Smishing comes through text, WhatsApp, Signal, or even Teams. Vishing comes through a phone call. Steve Hicks breaks down real examples his team has seen, from fake gift card requests to a scammer who called his grandmother claiming he was in trouble overseas. The one habit that stops nearly all of it is multi-channel verification. Watch the video to learn how it works.

AI

This week's AI tip introduces Lovable, an AI tool that builds working web apps from a plain English description. In this walkthrough, David turns a rambled to-do list into a real app that drops tasks onto Google Calendar, then publishes it to his phone, no code required. Lovable shines for simple, custom apps, the quick internal tools that would otherwise sit on a wish list forever, while anything complex still gets the best results paired with an experienced developer. If you have ever had an app idea but assumed it needed a full project, this one is worth your time. Watch the video to see the whole build start to finish.
