Hello my Windows Insiders! This week we have been hosting a Continuum App Contest in Redmond and it’s been really cool to see the awesome apps our dev Insiders have created. I installed the finalists’ apps and love how useful they are to my day-to-day—on both PC AND Phone. You all should check them out, there are some that are quite—Insider-y You can get a Perfect Workout—anywhere! The graphics & animations on this app are simply wow and failure-proof. You can keep track of what’s going on with world currencies (along with a TON of other functionality) with Calc Pro (coming soon to HoloLens as well!). I have my personal blog on WordPress, so I really loved WP for Windows (which has gorgeous magazine style layouts and a read-out-loud feature!). EZPodder is perfect for me to consume TED Radio & my other fave podcasts from anywhere (the presentation also came with a free Design for non-Designers lesson along with MVVN design patterns example, which was awesome for a nerd like me!). And of course, what is life without a hilarious Meme Generator Suite (and there are a TON of templates especially for you, my creative Windows Insiders!). We in Redmond […]

High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR) is a technique that uses multiple exposures of the same shot in order to reproduce a greater dynamic range of luminosity than is possible with standard digital imaging or photographic techniques. The Universal Windows Platform (UWP) empowers you to build apps that take HDR photographs and videos, using digital compositing to overcome some of the limitations of standard photography and videography. Unlike the human eye, standard cameras are not able to capture a great dynamic range (the difference between your darkest and brightest tones). You can use a high exposure in order to allow more detail to enter your picture, or a lower exposure in order to remove noise under bright lighting conditions. When your composition contains both bright and dark areas in high contrast, HDR provides a way to capture the richness of the items in shadow as well as the vibrancy of the highlights. In the past, HDR was typically done in post-processing with photo-imaging software. Today, it can be done in real-time on a camera phone or tablet as the photo or video is being taken. This post will walk you through how to add HDR functionality to your own custom camera app in UWP: MediaCapture API […]

Of course, we all love completely new features, but we want to make sure that the new admin center really makes it easier, faster and more efficient for you to manage Office 365. Based on your feedback, we took a critical look at the existing features to see how we can further improve them to provide you with the best management experience possible. Here’s a summary of the June updates: Updates for the new Office 365 admin center Get tips on how to get started quickly—Most of you use some areas and capabilities of the admin center more heavily than others. The reason is often that admins aren’t fully aware of all the capabilities that the admin center provides or how a specific feature could help you to increase the value of Office 365. To help you get started, tips and quick links on pages that you visit for the first time or that you don’t use on a regular basis are now displayed at the […]

Microsoft will work with Sprinklr to provide clients with a cloud-based experience management suite that will streamline business processes across sales, marketing, and customer service. Most brands know that in order to stay relevant, they must put their customers front and center, listening to and engaging with them in meaningful ways across all channels to better serve their individual interests and needs.
