Microsoft Teaming Song

7/3/2022

So... I created a song around the Microsoft Teams default ring tone. I posted the song on my Soundcloud account and within 2 weeks or so, I got a DM from Microsoft. I was interviewed by Stephen Rose who currently hosts a podcast/webcast called "Inside Microsoft teams."
