How to set Different Backgrounds & Desktop icons Between Desktops in Windows 11
Hello,
I am trying to set my PC up so that it is easier to transition between work and personal activities. I read in several places online that this was doable via the Windows 11 task view tool (creating multiple desktops).
I have been able to set up different desktops with different apps running in each, but I cannot find a way to differentiate either the desktop backgrounds or the desktop shortcuts. Help appreciated.

Video interactivity gets a boost with new Microsoft Stream features
If videos are a part of your marketing strategy – and they should be – you’ll be happy to know that Microsoft Stream has just rolled out several new features to help you boost your content. We’ve put a summary of Stream’s new capabilities below.
Creating useful and compelling video content is a difficult task if you’re creating from scratch. Fortunately, with Microsoft Clipchamp and Stream, you’ve got an end-to-end video creation ecosystem already baked into your Microsoft 365 business license. Clipchamp became generally available to Microsoft 365 customers in 2023 and has already established itself as one of the most intuitive and powerful video editors on the market. Stream addresses the other half of the video experience: delivery. Stream is a powerful video management service that allows the people in your organization to store, share, and view your videos securely. Because it’s deeply integrated with the Microsoft 365 app portfolio, viewers can consume video content through multiple apps, like Microsoft PowerPoint, SharePoint, or Teams to name a few. And now we’ve added several new features to make the Stream experience even more engaging for users.
Copilot in Microsoft Stream
AI has arrived to make the video engagement experience enhanced for viewers. Copilot in Stream can help you get new insight into your videos. It can quickly summarize videos you’ve got stored on SharePoint so you can get the most out of your content. For example, you can have Copilot summarize a speaker’s comments to create a fast how-to list for an upcoming product demonstration. It’s an easy way to get the most out of every video you make. To use Copilot in Stream, you’ll need to purchase Copilot for Microsoft 365 for your business. Check out the following announcement to dive deep into Copilot in Stream use cases.
Microsoft 365 content callouts and interactivity analytics
Adding things like surveys, quizzes, or other forms of data gathering to your videos has always been difficult. Stream now makes adding such components easier and more effective. You can use Microsoft Forms and other links in callouts directly from your video. This lets your viewers search and find additional content easily from inside the Stream player. You’ll be able to see which callouts were the most effective using Stream’s new interactivity analytics. They let you gather non-personal data on your audience, like their responses to Microsoft Form polls or their average attention time. Metrics like these make it much easier to understand which of your videos and interactive elements landed the best and why.
Video reactions
Video reactions allow your audience to react to your content. You can enable reactions for the video, but you can also turn them into an interactive element that viewers can respond to several times as they go through the content. That gives you immediate feedback on how well your video landed and which parts were most effective. You can see reactions in the video’s Stream timeline, which lets you mark key reaction moments. Then you can use them as a best-practice reference when creating similar content in the future. Reactions can be used for individuals and teams, and viewers can choose to turn the feature off.
Stream video recordings in the new Outlook for Windows and Web
You can now integrate Stream video recording capabilities into Microsoft Outlook on the web and the new version of Outlook for Windows. You’ll be able to record a video message, capture your screen, or both, directly from Outlook. Screen recordings are great to highlight product demos, business reviews or improve your business culture.
These are just some of the new features that make Microsoft Stream an engaging video platform for your viewers. Whether you want to create, share, or interact with video content, Clipchamp and Stream have the features and integrations you need to tell your brand’s story.

Event PlannerTemplate can no longer be customized
I used this Event Planner template last year to create a custom October to September department calendar. The current version of the template is only for 2024. This template does not have any macros or fields. It no longer allows me to create a custom calendar.
I still have the old calendar and it apparently uses Document Variable Fields but the set start date macro has disappeared. Does anyone know how to turn the calendar update controls back on or update the document variables?

PowerApps Form for SharePoint Dependent Fields
Hello all,
I’m very new to PowerApps; just started yesterday kind of new. I was hoping the solve would be simple but I’ve been going down the rabbit hole of solutions for hours now and I’m no closer to fixing the issue.
I’ve built a form starting from my SharePoint list page and and choosing PowerApps from the Integrate menu. The form has pulled all of the fields correctly. The form is only to submit new items and I have it defaulted to “New” for the mode. Nearly every field is restricted to numbers only.
My problem is that I want certain fields to only show if there is a value input in another field while the user is filling out the form. IsBlank and =0 are not working for me. I’ve been reading that the number restriction can cause issues for this function and I am hoping for some assistance.
I want “Cold Calling Contacts” and “Cold Calling Installs” to only show if a number greater than 0 is entered into “Hours Spent Cold Calling”.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mathematical Equations to MATLAB
I am trying to implement a method for a reliability problem based on the following article main.pdf (sciencedirectassets.com). I am facing some problems while expressing the mathematical equations to MATLAB.
All required parameters are given as shown bellow.
lambda_i is given so that’s why I am expressing it bellow right after ‘%Equations’
Could you help me express the series of sum from (1 to N+1) of MTBFi from denominator, and the series of sum (from i to N) of the integral f(i)*(tau_i)*dtau_i from 0 to Xi?
Also, I don’t get when the lambda_i_plus_one is used on the CTM equation, any ideas?

lambda_i = @(t) (beta / alpha) * (t / alpha).^(beta – 1); %It is given
lambda_i_plus_1 = @(t) exp(delta) * lambda_i(t);

integral_MTBF = @(tau_i) tau_i .* f_i(tau_i); % This doesn’t work right
MTBF_i = integral(integral_MTBF, 0, Inf); % This doesn’t work right
Xi = MTBF + P; % MTBF should be a vector so that Xi will take values from 1 to N as article says.

Excel Pivot Charts
I am trying to create a pivot chart which represents two mutually exclusive averages.
1. Average number of days it takes a report to get to department “A” (QRB).
2. Average number of days it takes that same report to get to department “B”(EA-1).
I do NOT want to show it in a “Column” graph. (This is how I currently have it – see below)
I DO want to show it in a “Stacked” graph, however, I do NOT want the two averages added together.
For example, if the average number of days to department “A” = 47 and the average number of days to department B = 66.
I do not want to add 47 + 66.
The cummulative number of days in the report process is 66 (not 113).
I would like the bar in the stacked graph to reflect 66 against the vertical axis.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Using the LEFT Function on Date Formatted Cells
I have cells formatted to show the date as (ex. 1941-12-01), but when I use the LEFT function,
I am stumbling onto a issue where it is dividing the year into 12. It is spitting out 1531 when I put the function as: =LEFT(C2,4)
I have also noticed that Excel does not acknowledge dates before 1900? Is there a way that I can format a column to acknowledge dates before that time? I am building a pretty decent sized project.
Thank you!
