- [Instructor] If you'd like to work along with me
in this course and try out some or all of the things
that I demonstrate then you'll need a couple of things.
First you'll need to have SharePoint.
SharePoint Online, or SharePoint that's bundled
as part of Office 365, or SharePoint server 2019.
Any of these will work but I will be demonstrating
the features that are in SharePoint for Office 365
as of the time this course is being recorded.
Both SharePoint Online and SharePoint for Office 365
are web-based products so what you see on your screen
might be slightly different than what I'm demonstrating
because these products are being modified frequently
by Microsoft.
You'll also need to have a browser and in my organization
users have the ability to choose their own browsers.
I would say most of our folks are using Microsoft Edge
although a number are using other browsers as well.
And because I'll be creating sites that have a lot of
images in them I'd like to be able to look at those sites
and see how the user experience is for people who aren't
using the same browser I am.
So I usually load up the three most popular browsers
in my organization when I work in SharePoint.
Let me remind you what operating system
and browser combinations are recommended for SharePoint.
If you're running Windows 10 you can use Edge,
Internet Explorer 11, or the latest versions of Firefox
or Chrome and I actually have all four of these
on my computer so that I can switch between them.
I don't have a lot of Internet Explorer users right now
but I have some.
If on the other hand you're using an earlier version
of Windows in your organization.
Windows 8, 8.1, or 7 with service pack one,
then Edge isn't an option for you but the latest
versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox,
and Chrome are possibilities.
If you're using Windows Vista, Firefox or Chrome.
If you are using a Mac then your choices are Safari
and Chrome.
I also load up Safari on my Windows machine.
So that's an option as well.
Although not one of the recommended browser combinations.
And if you have users that are running Linux,
Firefox or Chrome and again the latest versions
of all of these.
Make sure you have SharePoint, make sure you have
one or more browsers.
And again if your organization dictates a particular browser
simply load that up and you will be fine working along
with me in this course.
