It's Rob. I write Watts365 to save other engineers an afternoon: real configurations, real gotchas, written up straight after the job.

Rob WattsRecognised as a Microsoft MVP. Independent, and not a Microsoft employee (any more).

What you’ll find here

• Teams Phone and calling: Direct Routing, SBCs, SIP Gateway and the odd analogue phone that refuses to retire.
• Rooms, Places and hardware: Teams Rooms, OEM devices, Microsoft Places and the firmware that fights back.
• The rest of the stack: Copilot, Power Platform, Azure AI, the M365 roadmap and the occasional other UC platform.

Things I build

I like building cool solutions for everyone to enjoy, and putting them on GitHub. The latest is CodeRoam, a free app that keeps your Claude Code chats in step across every PC you use.

About the name

Watts is my surname and a unit of power. 365 is the platform and the everyday nature of the work. The blog leans on both: power, signal and dependable plumbing.
