We are very excited to announce an Azure Communication Services AMA!
An AMA is a live text-based online event similar to a “YamJam” on Yammer or an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit. This AMA gives you the opportunity to connect with Microsoft product experts who will be on hand to answer your questions and listen to feedback.
Feel free to post your questions about Azure Communication Services anytime in the comments below beforehand, if it fits your schedule or time zone better, though questions will not be answered until the live hour.

- co_sdCopper ContributorWhen is the next LTSC for Windows 10 coming out ? Did Microsoft anticipate a release now that there's Windows 11 ? Are LTSC customers expecting something that won't happen ? Is Windows 11 LTSC on the horizon ?
- EricStarkerFormer EmployeeHello! This is an AMA about Azure Communication Services, so this question is out of scope for this particular event. You could certainly ask your question in the Windows 10 or Windows 11 communities: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-10/bd-p/Windows10space https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/bd-p/Windows11

Azure Communication Services does support Chat! There's an overview of our Chat SDK here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/concepts/chat/sdk-features ... and I highly recommend checking out our Chat Hero Sample here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/samples/chat-hero-sample- joerg_lauferBrass ContributorLet me give some more details - we do need a chat solution, where we have the option to escalate to voice and or video in the same session and communication frame we have set up. Perhaps even futher to screen sharing. I did not find that in the heroes I think.
- neilmcneelyCopper ContributorWhat is the best way to secure API's in ZAzure? Should I consider something like a FortiGate for Azure gateway? or is there enough native Azure features to secure them?
- neilmcneelyCopper ContributorSorry typo ... Azure not ZAzure (not sure what that is) ....

Hi neilmcneely - thanks for your question!
This is very good timing since we just announced support for Azure Advisor for Azure Communication Services!
Azure Advisor will send you recommendations for different categories on how to optimize your Azure experience (via cost reduction, performance improvements, etc.). It will now send you recommendations when there are newer SDKs available. You can access this feature through the Azure Portal. To learn more about Azure Advisor in general, you can find the public docs here.
In addition, the Azure Communication Services team publishes release notes every two weeks with all the latest updates.
- neilmcneelyCopper ContributorHello is this just a chat meeting or is there a video/audio link I am missing?
- EricStarkerFormer EmployeeToday's AMA event is entirely text-based. No video/audio link.

With windows 11 there are improved Internet connection settings. Is it necessary to connect the device to the azure active directory / azure server via a connection authentication with 802.1X / proxy or is it secure enough with WIP (windows identity protection) and Edge ?
- EricStarkerFormer EmployeeHello - thanks for the question. Unfortunately it is out of scope for this particular event - feel free to post your question in the Windows 11 community: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-11/bd-p/Windows11
- cap2ndBrass Contributorthanks for the link but there are no contributions that can be discussed. My question is whether I actually have a secure connection with WIP with azure power apps and azure communications or do I need to set it up separately?
