What's To Love About Adaptive Cards for Microsoft Teams & Viva?
Channel: Andrew Connell
Date: 2023-02-24

In this video, you'll learn what Adaptive Cards are and why developers love using them in Microsoft Teams, Viva Connections, and Outlook. Adaptive Cards are platform-agnostic snippets of UI that can be created by developers and rendered into a native UI. I cover the goals and benefits of Adaptive Cards, such as being open-source, purely declarative, portable, expressive, and automatically styled to the host application's UX and brand guidelines. Additionally, you'll learn how card authors and user experience owners benefit from using Adaptive Cards.

But that's not all! I dive in and share detail about the schema and structure of Adaptive Cards, breaking it down into categories such as cards, card elements, containers, actions, inputs, and types. I'll even show you have to navigate the Adaptive Cards schema documentation and use the Adaptive Cards designer!

You'll walk away from this video with valuable information for developers who want to use Adaptive Cards to create engaging messages across various platforms and frameworks.
