SPFx App webpart is blocked in various browsers Sunday, September 13, 2020 9:30 PM Toni Pohl Recently, I stumbled across a strange behavior when running self-developed SPFx webparts in various browsers. When the SPO app was deployed, it worked well with Single-Sign-On, but in some browsers, the webpart was blocked. Instead, a grey box saying "login.microsoftonline.com refused to connect." was displayed. I experienced that behavior in Chrome, and Edge, while FireFox, Safarai and Opera showed the webpart. Also, there was a different experience when working in the normal mode, or in the In-Private mode. If that happens to you, check out the solution here.

How user profile picture synchronization works in Microsoft 365 Wednesday, July 1, 2020 9:00 AM Toni Pohl From an historical point of view, various single services such as Exchange and SharePoint Online have been integrated into Office 365, or as it´s named now, Microsoft 365. The platform shows user profile pictures, and syncs that between the services, depending on the service (licenses). Since this can be a little bit confusing, we now have a good article explaining the user profile sync.
