first-time Azure user, inadvertently activated a costly Synapse Analytics service without use, accum
Dear all：
Hi， this is Harry Huang who is a first-time user of Azure and makes the mistake for the wrong applications of Synapse Analytics service.
I am a passionate technology enthusiast who subscribed to Azure services for self-education and to further my interest in technology. As this was my first experience with cloud services, I was not aware of the need to set up cost-blocking or cost-alerting features. Regrettably, I inadvertently activated the Synapse Analytics Dedicated SQL service without a clear understanding of its costs (Now it costs me AU$13,943.97) and have not utilized it any more.
The service has incurred daily expenses of up to 600 Australian dollars, amounting to a cumulative total of $14,658.52 AUD. This service was activated accidentally, a result of the platform’s operational complexity. As a novice to cloud services and someone who has never intentionally used such an expensive feature, I am reaching out to request special consideration/solutions regarding my account.
Here is my request
(1) Is it possible to delay the due date for payment of $14,658.52 AUD ?
(2) Can I have the discount for the Synapse Analytics Dedicated SQL service( AU$13,943.97)?

Available time not showing up on booking page
Hello!
I have been using Bookings for quite a while now. Suddenly there are time slots that I know I have free that are not available when clients go to book. I have checked all my calendars to make sure I don’t have something booking me off and I cannot see a thing. For example, all my calendars show me free next Tuesday but there are no slots available on the booking page in the afternoon? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Intune | Autopilot | Kiosk Mode for laptops
We have successfully setup a configuration profile along with Autopilot to enable Kiosk Mode for our test laptops. Testing has gone well with one problem, and it’s a big one:
I found that when I brought this laptop to another location, I was unable to get past the login screen to connect to the wifi there. It seems my profile was not cached and I could not get past the login screen to configure a new wifi connection. This is by design, for machines restricted to Kiosk Mode. Is there a way to enable the caching of credentials on the local machines, to allow a user to log in and connect to a new, previously unknown, wifi connection?
I was playing around with script and regedits but wasn’t sucessful. If anyone has a similar configuration and can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome 🙂
Kiosk Mode seemed the way to go for our laptops, if our users only need them to connect to a VDI. They also need to be able to setup a home printer, manage display settings for their external monitor(s), and have access to a web browser to get past capture portals.

Sleeping Tabs: Pure Garbage
I’m on XBOX Series X. And I have to say, there is no worse feature on this console than Sleeping Tabs. I do not own a PC, I have to use my XBOX for all my documents/work/study. However, with my tabs going to sleep, it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to get ANY work done. And with recent updates, there is NO WAY to turn it off. And don’t give me any of that performance crap; this console can easily run Fallout 4 (a game infamous for consuming way too many resources) with all available storage space filled with mods and graphics on max for hours at a time. You do not need to put tabs to sleep to ‘save performance’. In short, this browser is complete garbage due to this so called ‘feature’ that accomplishes literally nothing.

Azure Communication Services May 2024 Feature Updates
The Azure Communication Services team is excited to share several new product and feature updates released in April 2024. (You can view previous blog articles here.)
See this month’s updates:
Business-to-consumer extensibility with Microsoft Teams for Calling
Image Sharing in Teams meetings
Deep Noise Suppression Desktop
Updated Calling native SDKs for Android, iOS, and Windows
Updated Calling native UI Library for Android and iOS
Business-to-consumer extensibility with Microsoft Teams for Calling
Now in general availability, developers can take advantage of calling interoperability for Microsoft Teams users in Azure Communication Services Calling workflows.
Developers can use Call Automation APIs to bring Teams users into business-to-consumer (B2C) calling workflows and interactions, helping you deliver advanced customer service solutions. This interoperability is offered over VoIP to reduce telephony infrastructure overhead. Developers can add Teams users to Azure Communication Services calls using the user’s Entra object ID (OID).
Use Cases
Teams as an extension of agent desktop: Connect your CCaaS solution to Teams and enable your agents to handle customer calls on Teams. Having Teams as the single-pane-of-glass solution for both internal and B2C communication increases agent productivity and empowers them to deliver first-class service to customers.
Expert Consultation: Businesses can invite subject matter experts, on Teams, into their customer service workflows for expedient issue resolution, and to improve their first call resolution rate.
In a world where customers need quick resolution and seamless interactions, Azure Communication Services B2C extensibility with Microsoft Teams makes it easy for customers to reach sales and support teams and for businesses to deliver effective customer experiences.
For more information, see Call Automation workflows interop with Microsoft Teams.
Image Sharing in Microsoft Teams meetings
Microsoft Teams users can now share images with Azure Communication Services users in the context of a Teams meeting. This feature is now generally available. Image sharing enhances collaboration in real time for meetings. Image overlay is also supported for users to look at it in detail.
Image sharing is helpful in many scenarios, such as a business sharing photos showcasing their work or doctors sharing images with patients for after care instructions.
Try out this feature using either our UI Library or the Chat SDK. Note that the SDK is available in C# (.NET), JavaScript, Python, and Java:
Enable inline image using UI Library in Teams Meetings
Sample: Image Sharing
Deep Noise Suppression for Desktop
Deep noise suppression is currently in public preview. Noise suppression improves VoIP and video calls by eliminating background noise, making it easier to talk and listen. For example, if you’re taking an Azure Communication Services WebJS call in a coffee shop with considerable noise, turning on noise suppression can significantly improve the calling experience by eliminating the background noise from the shop.
For more information, see Add audio quality enhancements to your audio calling experience.
Calling native SDKs for Android, iOS, and Windows
We updated the Calling native SDKs to improve the customer experience. The April release includes:
Custom background for video calls
Proxy configuration
Android TelecomManager
Unidirectional Data Channel
Time To Live lifespan for push notifications
Custom background for video calls
Custom backgrounds for video calls is now generally available. This feature enables customers to remove distractions behind them. The custom image backgrounds feature enables customers to upload their own personalized images and use those as background.
For example, now business owners can use the Calling SDK to show custom backgrounds in place of the actual background. You can, for example, upload an image of a modern and spacious office and set it as its background for video calls. Anyone who joins the call sees the customized background, which looks realistic and natural. You can also use custom branding images as background to show a fresh image to your customers.
For more information, see QuickStart: Add video effects to your video calls.
Proxy configuration
Proxy configuration is now generally available. Some environments such as highly regulated industries or those dealing with confidential information require proxies to secure and control network traffic. You can use the Calling SDK to configure the HTTP and media proxies for your Azure Communication Services calls. This way, you can ensure that your communications are compliant with the network policies and regulations. You can use the native SDK methods to set the proxy configuration for your app.
For more information, see Tutorial: Proxy your calling traffic.
Android TelecomManager
Android TelecomManager is in public preview. It is a system service that manages audio and video calls on Android devices. Use Android TelecomManager to provide a consistent user experience across different Android apps and devices, such as showing incoming and outgoing calls in the system UI, routing audio to the device, and handling call interruptions. Now you can integrate your app with the Android TelecomManager to take advantage of its features for your custom calling scenarios.
For more information, see Integrate with TelecomManager on Android.
Unidirectional Data Channel
The Data Channel API is generally available. Data Channel includes unidirectional communication, which enables real-time messaging during audio and video calls. Using this API, you can integrate data exchange functions into the applications, providing a seamless communication experience for users. The Data Channel API enables users to instantly send and receive messages during an ongoing audio or video call, promoting smooth and efficient communication. In group call scenarios, a participant can send messages to a single participant, a specific set of participants, or all participants within the call. This flexibility enhances communication and collaboration among users during group interactions.
For more information, see Data Channel.
Time To Live lifespan for push notifications
The Time To Live (TTL) for push notifications is now generally available. TTL is the duration for which a push notification token is valid. Using a longer duration TTL can help your app reduce the number of new token requests from your users and improve the experience.
For example, suppose you created an app that enables patients to book virtual medical appointments. The app uses push notifications to display incoming call UI when the app is not in the foreground. Previously, the app had to request a new push notification token from the user every 24 hours, which could be annoying and disruptive. With the extended TTL feature, you can now configure the push notification token to last for up to 6 months, depending on your business needs. This way, the app can avoid frequent token requests and provide a smoother calling experience for your customers.
For more information, see TTL token in Enable push notifications for calls.
Calling SDK native UI Library updates
The April updates include Troubleshooting on the native UI Library for Android and iOS, and Audio only mode in the UI Library.
Using the Azure Communication Services Calling SDK native UI Library, you can now generate encrypted logs for troubleshooting and provide your customers with an optional Audio only mode for joining calls.
Troubleshooting on the native UI Library for Android and iOS
Now in general availability, you can encrypt logs when troubleshooting on the Calling SDK native UI Library for Android and iOS. We’ve made it easy for you to generate encrypted logs to share with Azure support. While ideally calls just work, or developers self-remediate issues, customers always have Azure support as a last-line-of-defense. And we strive to make those engagements as easy and fast as possible.
For more information, see Troubleshoot the UI Library.
Audio only mode in the UI Library
The Audio only mode in the Calling SDK UI Library is now generally available. It enables participants to join calls using only their audio, without sharing or receiving video. Participants can use this feature to conserve bandwidth and maximize privacy. When activated, the Audio only mode automatically disables the video function for both sending and receiving streams and adjusts the UI to reflect this change by removing video-related controls.
For more information, see Enable audio only mode in the UI Library.
You can learn more about these updates and Azure Communications Services Communication Platform as a Service in our overview.
