How to Use Guest Mode With Google Assistant Posted: 29 Jan 2021 08:41 AM PST Kevin Parrish Google Assistant-enabled smart speakers work best when they can provide personal information. However, you may not want everyone who enters your house to have access to your account. That's where "Guest Mode" comes in. We'll show you how it works. What Is Google Assistant Guest Mode? The idea behind "Guest Mode" is to turn your Nest Hub, Nest Mini, Google Home, or Google Assistant smart speaker into a public device. It turns off access to any personal results and doesn't save queries to your account. It's kind of like "Incognito Mode" in a web browser. When you set up a device such as a Google Assistant smart speaker, you can enable "personal results." This means that when you ask for certain things, the Assistant will gather information from your Google Calendar, shopping lists, Gmail, and other accounts associated with you. The "Voice Match" feature is intended to prevent others from accessing these personal results, but it's not perfect. The other issue is that any command given to the smart speaker that isn't personal will still be recorded to your account. "Guest Mode" solves these problems. How to Turn on Guest Mode Justin Duino Guest Mode is only supported on Google Assistant-enabled smart speakers and smart displays. It is not available on the Google Assistant found on Android phones, tablets, iPhones, or iPads. To turn on Guest Mode, simply say "Hey Google, turn on guest mode." You will hear a chime, and Guest Mode will start. How to Turn off Guest Mode As you may have guessed, turning off Guest Mode works in the same way. Simply say "Hey Google, turn off guest mode." You will hear a chime, and Guest Mode will end. It should be noted that while Guest Mode is similar to "Incognito Mode" in a web browser, it's not as robust. The speaker is still connected to your Google account and any other integrations you have set up. That includes music apps and smart home devices. Also, anyone can use the command to turn off Guest Mode. Guest Mode is intended to be used when you have guests over at your house with you. It shouldn't be used as a security feature when you're away from home. With those limitations in mind, it's still a pretty handy feature. See details

How to Recover a Deleted File From Microsoft Teams Posted: 28 Jan 2021 11:00 AM PST Teams is great for storing, sharing, and collaborating on files. One thing it lacks is a recycle bin, so if you delete a file accidentally, how do you get it back? Here's how to restore deleted files from Microsoft Teams. Every time you create a new team in Microsoft Teams, a SharePoint site is set up behind the scenes. Each channel gets its own folder in the "Documents" library of that SharePoint site. If a file has been deleted from Teams, the place to restore it is in that SharePoint site. RELATED: Where Are Your Microsoft Teams Files Stored? To access the SharePoint site, open the "Files" tab in the Microsoft Teams application and click "Open in SharePoint." Depending on your screen size, you might need to click the three-dot menu icon to access the option. This will open the SharePoint site attached to the team (You may need to log in to SharePoint using your Microsoft account details first.). To see any files that have been deleted from the team, click on "Recycle Bin." Select the file that you want to restore by clicking the circle next to it, then choose the "Restore" button. Now click "Documents," and the folder that matches the channel that the file was in (In this case, the file was in the "Policies" channel in Teams.). The file that you restored will now be back in the folder. Go back to the Microsoft Teams application and click the refresh icon in the "Files" tab to see the restored file. See details
