Thinking
You never know the intelligence level of your fellow co-workers.
Wanna find out?
Have a very important vendor set up a teams meeting with an invite that includes link to the meeting, their meeting password that they can copy/paste, and a link to a test meeting to ensure they can connect and ask IT any questions on connecting and using phone, computer, microphone, Etc.
Send the invite 2 weeks in advance.
Have an option to use a phone line for voice if their computer doesn't have mic, speakers ( I assume all of them have a visual output device as Stevie Wonder don't work here).
Then one gets to see how many people didn't check their equipment, know how to copy / paste, how to correctly type their name...
All knew how to call in and some knew to call in and complain that the teams software doesn't work even though they didn't know to click the frikin link.
I'm disappointed with some people right now. I thought those college degrees meant something. Seems that some degrees don't mean much.
Probably a good thing one can't slap people over the phone and good thing it was a vendor and not our customer.

LOL ^^^ I know the feeling!
Or how about someone that has actually set up the meeting as the "presenter", and 5 minutes after the meeting was supposed to start, they call IT and ask what their password is. There is a misconception that IT has all of your passwords:
A) Saved
B) Memorized
C) Changed it
D) Gives a $4IT what your password is
