Morning all! On a completely different topic, does anyone know how to edit a podcast in Microsoft Teams? All I seem to be able to do is trim it from either side, rather than edit bits out of the middle. Very frustrating. Whoever responds with the correct advice first gets a fantastic, free virtual lunch.

It’s very simple. Just re-record the podcast using different software and get it right the second time. Then upload the new version onto Spotify or wherever and low and behold it’s published.
Happy to help.
