Quick Tip: Offline training videos in FastTrack

FastTrack is Microsoft’s customer success service designed to help customers realize business value faster with the Microsoft Cloud. FastTrack provides customers with a set of best practices, tools, resources, and experts committed to making the customer’s experience with the Microsoft Cloud a success.

 

There’s a new addition to the Office 365 resources provided by FastTrack – offline training videos! This is a frequent request from customers, usually because they either want to integrate them with their existing training platform, or need to customize them as there is a feature or features within a service or product that the customer doesn’t want to use or cannot use due to other requirements.

 

Below is a quick tour on how to access these offline resources:

(1) Log into the FastTrack portal at https://fasttrack.microsoft.com

Note: FastTrack requires a work or school account, often referred to as an Organizational ID (Org ID). This means that all customers require a work or school account to access the site.

 

(2) Click Dashboard in the top-level navigation (dark gray bar)

 

(3) You should be taken to the Success Plans section by default, but if not then click on Success Plans in the navigation menu:
