Play Chess with Visio in Teams

Following on from my last article about playing checkers with Visio in Teams, I decided that I should also revisit my earlier Visio chessboard to make it work in Visio online. I have implemented the ability to automatically reset the positions before a new game, and I have made a single chess piece shape that can be either colour or icon.

There is also some more complex configuration options available, as per the earlier article, but these are completely optional.

The Online Chess.vsdx file is available for download to include in your own SharePoint Online or Teams library.

I was trying to think of a suitable demonstration of the co-working and collaboration possibilities, and came up with a reworking of an…

Visio is NOT Vizio!

Update 1 : Microsoft read this post and immediately corrected the spelling so the following now works : https://adoption.microsoft.com/virtual-hub/search/?_sft_vh_product=microsoft-visio 🙂 Update 2 : Mr VisGuy! “spelt” is the same as “spelled” outside USA! Aarghh! What kind of message is sent out if a company does not know how to spell the name of their own…

Visio now and beyond at Microsoft Ignite 2020

I have presented at the last four Microsoft Ignite conferences and was part way through the world-wide tour when this pandemic began. I was looking forward to visiting New Orleans for this years shindig, but, alas, we are now in a new world where in-person events are a fond memory. Fortunately, Microsoft have the tools…
