Do you use office Mix with your class? This is a message I received from Microsoft recently. Normally, when you create an Office Mix you would upload it to the Office Mix website, but that place of storage is being discontinued. If you go to the Office Mix website https://mix.office.com/en-us/Home , this is what you will see.
I use Office Mix a lot with my learners, so I will have to do some quick thinking about this – before May 1st 2018
Here is the message from Microsoft.
"Thank you for using Office Mix Preview. We would like to let you know that we are retiring the Office Mix Preview service on May 1, 2018 and need you to take action to save your files. Please make sure to migrate all of your content to a storage location of your choice before the retirement date to avoid losing any of your data. Over time, we will be adding the best experiences of Office Mix across PowerPoint, Stream, and Forms to make it even easier for you to create and share interactive online videos.
What do you need to do to prepare for this change?
If you have a qualifying account* and would like us to migrate your existing mixes to Microsoft Stream, please click here to visit the Office Mix migration page, sign in, and follow the prompts to automatically migrate your data. When the process completes, your mixes will be stored on Microsoft Stream as videos. You can continue to access Office Mix until May 1, 2018.
Mixes migrated to Stream will not include analytics data, quizzes or apps. However, over time these mixes will become interactive again. If you would like to save this content, you can download your mixes as PowerPoint files (.pptx), and your analytics data as Excel files (.xlsx) to save to your storage location of choice at any time before May 1, 2018. Please visit our help article for more details.
Creating Great New Interactive Content with Microsoft
We are bringing the best of the Office Mix add in directly into PowerPoint for Office 365 subscribers on Windows PC. Going forward, the new recording tab in PowerPoint will allow you to create a presentation that includes recorded slides, screen recordings, narrations, audio, ink, and videos. In the coming months, we’ll be connecting Forms for interactive quizzes and Stream to the recording tab to become the new publishing experience. In the meantime, you can manually export and upload these videos to Stream or another hosting site of your choice.
Thank you for using Office Mix and being on the journey with us. If you’re unsure of what steps to take before Office Mix is retired, or you are encountering any issues during your content migration, please visit our help article. "
