SDS - Sync & import of new data fails
Hi together, we use School Data Sync version 2.1 with a configured flow for automatic import of the current CSV files runs normally without any visible errors, but the data from the CSV files is not imported from the local server. I created the flow from “Automate CSV upload for task data synchronization.” In the flow, I was also able to open and select the local file system via the data gateway, so there is a connection to the server. The problem is that the files are not being imported. Can anyone help with this error? THX Nik
Assignments not accessible in Teams
The Assignment app has stopped accessibility from our classes in Teams. When student click on an new assignment, the notification that comes up is: Something went wrong - come back later ... and that has been for several months. The same goes for teachers who try to open the from the team. I can only make an assignment when I go to the global app in the Me space. And when I assign it, the students can't open it, and have to go to the Me space. Does anyone know how to fix it? We love the app, so we want it to work as smooth as possible.

As an educator and advocate for learner-centered support, I’ve always believed that clarity and emotional resonance can transform professional growth. This year, I created a digital vision board that blends intention, inspiration, and strategy—designed not just to motivate, but to guide my outreach, PD design, and documentation systems. Each image, quote, and layout reflects a core value: privacy-first automation, human-first instruction, and resilient systems that empower both educators and learners. I’m sharing it here to spark conversation, collaboration, and maybe even a few new ideas for your own journey. Let’s build something beautiful together—one vision, one workflow, one act of renewal at a time. https://parentsandteachers-my.sharepoint.com/:p:/g/personal/smtoth_americalearns_online/ET6B7VgkZNdBjBqOa5UkWEIB5HgO8sDn5txJQVn08mds2A 💬 I’d love to see what’s inspiring you this season. If you’ve created a vision board—digital or analog—drop a link or screenshot below. What themes are guiding your work? What visuals keep you grounded? Let’s build a gallery of renewal, one board at a time.Teams Breakout rooms
As I'm new in this community, I don't know if this issue has been raised before, so forgive me if I'm repeating it: In our ELT school in Corinth, Greece, we have been using MSTeams since the covid pandemic and we haven't found a practical and well-functioning way to monitor all the breakout rooms at the same time. I hope there has been some improvement in this. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.AI Agents in Free Copilot Chat.
Hi all! When Agents were first introduced into Copilot Chat for free, you used to be able to upload 20 knowledge resources. Now this has been cut back to 4 web URLS only, and each of these can only be 2 forward slashes deep - we are really struggling on using agents successfully. Based in the UK, all of the Department for Education content is more than // deep in their web. We can't upload docs from the PDF's and most other juicy web content is much deeper in the domains than 2 x // I would love to hear from other Copilot Chat Agent users in how you are working with the barriers of the free version in your setting. Paid licenses are just not an option on UK school budgets sadly. Thanks all!
Classroom components missing
After completing SDS sync (no errors), activating the class, waiting overnight we are still having these issues with our SDS classroom teams. Issues reported: Can not attach file to an assignment (says try again, all file types from all locations) Classroom notebooks can not be created (says Retry) Students do not see assignments Assignments disappearing from team Student work folders are not created after an assignment has been added Issue #1 Issue #2 Anyone else experiencing these issues? For this 2025/2026 school startup we are experiencing issues with SDS Classroom teams not finishing all of the provisioning required. My feeling is that SDS is taking longer to finish the backend functions that happen after creating the security group, team, then classroom layer. This is eventually working on some teams but the experience is not consistent. This is only happening with SDS Classroom teams, all classroom teams created manually are working as expected. We typically have ~ 5000 SDS classroom teams / year.
Skype not working anymore
Good day, we are a business (https://www.walkspanishmadrid.com/) and have a Skype number to contact our clients and receive calls from them; we also had skype credit and now it seems we cant use it on Skype or Microsoft teams any suggestions on how educational companies are dealing with situations like this? Thank youClass Team calendar doesn't show in the class startpage
I used to love the startpage app in class teams, but since the spring of 2025, the calendar is not imported to show in the startpage under teaching schedule. If I add a calendar to each class, it doesn't show either. The teaching schedule says the group doesn't exist any longer, maybe it has been deleted (no it has not been deleted). All I seem to be able to. The only way is by is to make all classes to M365 groups, but that shouldn't be necessary, or is it? Sad to lose the generel calendar in class teams. Thanks for any help or advise.
Assignmentanswers in Teams can be read by everyone
It turns out that the Excel-file that is generated for me to view the results of a Forms-test, given as an assignment in Teams, is placed in the Teams-library where Teams-members are granted editing rights by default. This, not only makes it possible for every Team-member, my students, to see everyone's result, but also to edit the answers. I know it is possible to alter the rights given to this library, but I don't like the idea of instructing every teacher in our school to do this. This Excel-file should NOT be placed in this library, but rather in my personal OneDrive as it is if I don't use the assignement-tool in Teams. Is there a way someone in Microsoft can fix this? Please? Best regards OddgeirDownload the submitted files related to an assignment
Some teachers still wants to evaluate a printed document and not just the digital one. I know they can download submitted files from the sharepoint-repository, but then they have to go through so many folders. Is there a way to download say, all word-documents submitted on the assignment "Whatever the assignment they where given"? So browsing the folders by assignment instead of by student I guess. Does anyone know? Regards Oddgeir'Hide' assignments
Hi I am new to the MS Teams Classroom and really like the way it looks so far. I teach a group that is self paced and want to be able to give access to assignments to individual students once the have completed the learning materials, is this possible? I find that when the assignments are available my students tend to go straight there skipping the learning materials.We're moving to Microsoft Q&A!

Hello, we have several teachers who are distributing content to students and some of the class will have issues. This is happening across the district with various teachers. The teachers make the document part of the background, but when students click on it, it disappears or moves the cursor to the far bottom of the page, etc. This is happening enough where some teachers are using other resources other than Class Notebook. Anyone else seen this? I thought maybe an extension on the student Chromebooks or network connectivity during the sync? Any other ideas?
I cannot set the lab capacity when publishing the template.
Hello, A lab has been created before, and its capacity is zero currently. When I publish the lab, there is no option to set the virtual machine capacity, so there is no VM. When I send the invitation link to a user, it says all VMs are claimed.... . Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks.
