hey hi this is admin from admin 365 and today
we are going to talk about different urls in

00:07.680 --> 00:16.560
office 365 and we'll talk about how to avoid
phishing urls so let's get started before we

00:16.560 --> 00:25.279
start the topic a small introduction about me i
currently work as microsoft 365 support ambassador

00:25.279 --> 00:32.159
for microsoft our day-to-day routine is to take
care of service requests created around microsoft

00:32.159 --> 00:39.039
365 products and services so please do consider
subscribing for exclusive content and the

00:39.039 --> 00:48.320
resolutions for common issues with office 365 and
let's resume the topic office 365 has different

00:48.320 --> 00:57.440
URL to reach different portals on it the basic
one is the office.com if you open a browser and

00:57.440 --> 01:03.600
you type in office.com it will be on the
microsoft office home page which you see here

01:04.560 --> 01:28.080
the other way to reach the home page is portal.office.com and as you can see
it redirects back to office.com so you can simply use office.com to reach the

01:28.080 --> 01:35.400
microsoft office home page and once you are here
you can navigate to all the other tabs available

01:35.400 --> 01:40.979
here and even the admin center you just want to
straight away go to the admin center without

01:40.979 --> 01:47.880
coming to this place then clicking on the admin
tile you can just open new tab and just type in

01:47.880 --> 02:20.451
admin and that will straight away take you to the main admin center where we have the other admin center tabs available and so on so any admin center you want to
visit you can use them from the URL to make sure that you typing the correct url or anytime you are redirected to a microsoft services you can see the top login

02:21.091 --> 02:28.531
this is where it redirects from so if you see
something weird which is not login.microsoftonline.com

02:28.531 --> 02:35.651
whenever you try to sign into a browser just make
sure that you are at the right place and don't

02:35.651 --> 02:41.091
enter your email address and password unless
you confirm that it is the correct website

02:44.531 --> 02:49.651
and as you can see we have it opened here and
once you click on show all we have all the admin

02:49.651 --> 02:57.651
centers here as well so these admin center have
their own set of urls for for us to be reached

02:57.651 --> 03:04.371
directly on them we don't have to come to even
the admin center for us if you want to visit the

03:04.371 --> 03:11.331
exchange sharepoint or teams admin center they
have their separate urls which we can directly

03:11.331 --> 03:17.651
enter into the browser and that will navigate
us to the right place and for example for teams

03:17.651 --> 03:34.931
we can just type in admin.teams.microsoft.com and as you can see
admin.teams.microsoft.com brings us directly to the teams admin center

03:34.931 --> 03:45.091
and so we can do it for the exchange admin center
as well it's outlook and as you can see once i

03:45.091 --> 03:53.491
type outlook uh it gives us the url for the
outlook on the web uh we can just replace this

03:54.771 --> 04:11.011
and enter ecp and hit enter and as i said do remember this login
on microsoft online.com whenever you click sign in as you can

04:11.011 --> 04:32.302
see we have the exchange admin center open here with the url right away uh if you wish to go to the exchange admin center you don
have to go to office then admin center you can also use outlook slash ec there is a new exchange admin center now so you can click

04:32.302 --> 04:38.142
on that and visit that as well if you are
comfortable with that and for security and

04:38.142 --> 04:44.462
compliance we have protection.office.com if you
use that you will go to security and compliance

04:44.462 --> 04:54.302
admin center and for the azure active directory
we have aad.portal.azure.com so if i open a tab

04:54.302 --> 05:09.262
and just enter aad.portal.azure.com and hit enter
it will again check my credential in the background

05:09.262 --> 05:19.342
and it will open the azure admin center so these
were the url uh for the major pages in office 365

05:19.342 --> 05:24.942
which you can visit right away without even have
to navigate through the entire portal do make sure

05:24.942 --> 05:30.702
that you type it correctly sometimes uh there
could be sites which are fishing for your emails

05:31.342 --> 05:38.942
uh there are many cases where you receive email
and it asks you uh it it basically says that

05:38.942 --> 05:45.182
subscriptions has expired and it gives a small
clickable icon below stating that login here

05:46.302 --> 05:52.382
to view the changes or save the changes or
purchase a subscription again and if you click on

05:52.382 --> 05:59.422
it uh it opens a similar window for microsoft
login for example let me just show you in an in

05:59.422 --> 06:05.742
private window the page which you see
right now is the page which they mimic

06:05.742 --> 06:12.042
to be of Microsoft and once you use your
email address and password to it they

06:12.042 --> 06:16.282
get your password and get access to your
account and if you are an administrator

06:16.282 --> 06:23.822
then they get access to the entire
tenant if you don't have MFA on so as

06:23.822 --> 06:41.914
you can see here the top login with a log here so do make sure that whenever or whichever place
you are signing for the office 365 service most of them will have login and if you see any

06:41.914 --> 06:48.154
random name up on top of it and you still see the
microsoft window there is a possibility that it is

06:48.154 --> 06:54.954
a phishing attempt and which you should avoid and
where you should not enter your email address and

06:54.954 --> 07:02.154
password and the urls which i discussed earlier
are the urls which you can use going forward

07:02.154 --> 07:06.954
uh to avoid any attempt don't click on the
emails where it asks you to the sign in

07:07.754 --> 07:13.354
i would suggest never click on the email uh where
it has button to click here to sign in and check

07:13.354 --> 07:20.074
your portal even though if it is from microsoft
you can always have a best practice to open it

07:20.074 --> 07:27.674
into the browser right away you can go to the
office.com or you can go to admin.microsoft.com

07:27.674 --> 07:33.754
to visit the admin center but never click on the
link that redirects you to a browser and it gives

07:33.754 --> 07:40.074
you a window to enter your email address and
password just a quick recap the main office page

07:40.074 --> 07:49.034
can be reached with office.com and portal.office.com
which will eventually redirect to office.com and

07:49.034 --> 07:59.594
the admin center can be reached by admin.microsoft.com
and the teams can be reached by admin.teams.microsoft.com

08:00.394 --> 08:16.874
and the exchange can be reached by outlook.office or outlook.office365.com ecp and
same as azure you can reach it directly by the url by typing aad.portal.azure.com

08:16.874 --> 08:25.974
all the places all the web tabs available in here
has a url to it you can use that url you can

08:25.974 --> 08:32.954
remember the url if you visit that page frequently
you can bookmark it and you can click on the url

08:32.954 --> 08:38.914
it will right away take you to that page you don't
have to browse through the entire admin center to

08:38.914 --> 08:43.754
reach a specific page there you go guys if you have
any question you can drop it in the comment section
