How are you running performance reviews without leaving Teams?
Our HR team keeps pushing us to use this separate web portal for performance reviews, but nobody actually logs into it. We basically live in Teams all day so I've been wondering - has anyone found a way to do the whole review cycle (self assessments, manager ratings, calibration) without making people leave Teams?
How do you handle employee recognition in Microsoft Teams without it feeling forced?
Hey community, Our HR team is trying to implement a point-based recognitions / incentive program (or rewards whatever you are all calling it in your companies). We are having a bit of trouble finding the right features inside MS Teams to do this. We really don't want this to live outside of Teams because you know how initiatives work in modern work: If people don't see it, they are going to forget about it in a month or two tops. Any recommendations?
Teams Planner Duplication
Does anyone know if you can duplicate Microsoft Teams Planners for onboarding tasks? I am trying to create an easily replicable Teams Planner with links to files in Sharepoint folders, for example. I want to be able to copy this planner for each new hire and have a copy of all the files and planner tasks in the new copy. Any advice or expertise would be much appreciated!
How do I send a message to myself with PowerAutomate?
I am developing a PowerAutomate flow, I want to use the function "post message in chat or channel", I can send messages to anyone in "one to one" private chats but not on the private chat I have with myself. Has somebody found a way to message himself via power automate? I can't create it as a "new chat" in PA because it says users cannot be duplicate. Then I figured out I had to find the ID of the chat with myself. I tried using the microsoft graph api to retrieve the id from "me/chats" but the chat with myself is not shown. I tried many different filters and expansions with no success. I also tried analyzing the id itself and discovered that, in the case of "one to one" chats, it's made of {the sender id} and {the receiver id} I then tried constructing an id that contains 19:{myuserid}_{myuserid}@{domain} but it responds that there is no record. I tried many combinations, thanks for the help.
Allow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.Why Teams is slowing down my Mac?
Microsoft Teams is so bloated that it causes even M1 Macs to slow down to crawl. It drains your battery and affects your Macbook’s performance. A few reasons why Microsoft Teams is slowing down your Mac: High Resource Usage Teams are resource-intensive due to its screen-sharing and video call feature. If it slows your Mac down, it must be due to the CPU and memory Teams are using to run the program. To run your Mac smoothly, clean your Macbook regularly to ensure memory storage is not filled to the neck. Outdated Software There is a chance your Teams version is not compatible or outdated with the macOS. This incompatibility leads to performance issues. Install an updated version of the Teams app to run it smoothly. Slow Network Microsoft Teams’ performance is affected by the speed of the internet more than you can imagine. Check your internet connection to ensure everything runs smoothly. If you can, switch to a wired connection to ensure your Macbook performs optimally. You can also run Microsoft Teams on your Chrome and Edge to make the most out of your features. Firefox and Safari miss out on most features, but you can still use it on them.

We recently switched from an on-premise phone system to MS Teams phone system. We have several call queues set up using attendant routing that ring multiple people. The challenge we are facing is that when someone calls the call queue, Teams rings for everyone in the queue. The users have the option to reject the call, but when they do so, the call will stop ringing for approx 1 second and will then start ringing again. This is problematic, because if someone is actively on a call, they have no way to stop teams from ringing, which is hugely distracting. I know presence based routing is an option, but there are multiple problems with PBR. For one, it will only allow calls to ring when a user's status is available. If someone is idle/afk, their status will go to 'away' and Teams will not ring. We still want Teams calls to ring idle users because they may simply be doing something other than working on their computer. Another issue is that if a user has a meeting on their calendar that finishes early (a frequent occurrence), the Teams status will still show busy for the remainder of the scheduled time and will not allow calls to ring, even though the scheduled meeting has ended and the user is not busy. I know users can manually set their status to DND when on a call to prevent other calls from ringing, but the problem with this is users will either forget to turn DND on, or worse, they'll forget to turn DND off. Every other phone system I've used has the option to silence a ringing call, but I cannot seem to find a way to do this in Teams. Suggestions?Bot not receiving message events in shared channels (RSC)
Hi folks, Running into an issue with a bot in Microsoft Teams shared channels. I've configured RSC permissions to listen for new messages. This works as expected in standard channels - I receive events for every new message. However, in shared channels, the behavior is different: I only receive events when the bot is explicitly tagged Regular messages in the channel don’t trigger any events Permissions currently granted: Channel.ReadBasic.All (Application) ChannelMember.Read.All (Application) ChannelMessage.Read.All (Application) Has anyone faced this with shared channels? Is this expected behavior or am I missing something in setup? Thanks!
Microsoft can accuse you of Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
So there is cloud hosting / storage website out there called 1fichier.com and if you write that in Teams, it's fine, but if you put https:// in front of it, like https://1fichier.com then it will ne censored in Teams and you'll get an e-mail saying: Content associated with your account was detected by Microsoft as violating our terms and policy or code of conduct. The details are as follows: • Service or product used: Microsoft Teams • Policy violated: Reference to Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Content • Actions taken: We have removed the content in violation. This is a pretty serious accusation to throw around like this, considering this is an obvious "false positive".Error ColdStoreNotSupportedForMessageException when sending message MS Teams via Graph API.
I'm using the Graph API to send a message to a Microsoft Teams channel, but I'm getting the following error. Endpoint: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/{team_id}/channels/{channel_id}/messages Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/ja-jp/graph/api/chatmessage-post?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#http-request Error response: { "code": "NotFound", "message": "NotFound", "innerError": { "code": "1", "message": "MessageNotFound-Message does not exist in the thread: ColdStoreNotSupportedForMessageException:ColdStoreMessageOperations is not supported if cutOffColdStoreEpoch is not provided.

Has anyone encountered this before or have any insight into what's causing it?
Cannot create new subscription to resource
APP BACKGROUND I have an app that integrate with Microsoft Graph API in order to create subscriptions for some resources. In order to keep subscriptions valid for a long period, I have to update it to continue receiving change notifications on these resources. Basically my workflow for refresh a subscription is: First I try to patch the subscription through this endpoint: PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions/{subscription_id} If something fails and I couldn't update it I have a fallback process that deletes it and recreate the subscription after. To delete the subscription I call this endpoint: DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions/{subscription_id} And right after I call the endpoint to create the subscription again: POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions/ ISSUE This process works well the most part of the time, but during some hours ( generally during 1~3h) on random days, it stop to work for some random resources. Basically I receive a 404 status from Microsoft when trying to patch or delete the subscription (which is expected on this case), but when I attempt to create a new subscription it returns a 403 error saying: Operation: Create; Exception: [Status Code: Forbidden; Reason: App 'aaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-ffff' has reached its limit of '1' 'USERS/AAAAA-BBBB-CCCC-DDDD-EEEE/CHATS/GETALLMESSAGES' subscription on tenant 'aaaaa-hhhhhh-jjjj-uuuu-zzzz How could the subscription already exists if previously it returned a 404 saying that it doesn't exists? SAMPLE REQUEST ID Following the request id a sample of this issue: PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions/{subscription_id} date: 2024-07-15T17:08:03 request-id: f5504a6c-b571-4ee4-893c-b96aae64a759 client-request-id: f5504a6c-b571-4ee4-893c-b96aae64a759 result: 404 - Not found DELETE https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions/{subscription_id} date: 2024-07-15T17:08:03 request-id: 1d3c601d-f761-43f2-8260-c30bf7a3540e client-request-id: 1d3c601d-f761-43f2-8260-c30bf7a3540e result: 404 - Not found POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/subscriptions/ date: 2024-07-15T17:08:03 request-id: c06196f7-d3c2-4a7d-8e7b-6fc9d63ec496 client-request-id: c06196f7-d3c2-4a7d-8e7b-6fc9d63ec496 result: 403 - Forbidden - App 'aaa-bbb-cc' has reached its limit of '1' 'USERS/DDD-FFF-GGG/CHATS/GETALLMESSAGES' subscription on tenant 'bbb-dddd-aaa-eeeee'New teams app is extremely slow to start on Mac
The new version of the Teams app is extremely slow to start it can take up to 1-2 minutes to get it running and join a call, why is it so slow? It wasn't like this before, and now I need to prepare a couple of minutes before joining a meeting because it takes such a long time to start. Is there any solution, do you plan on optimize the app?Teams window stuck on top of all others
I'm using the new Teams, having switched just a few days ago. Right now my Teams window is "stuck" on top of my other windows. Any window I try to move into the same space as Teams on my desktop results in Teams being over that window. This happens randomly. I've seen this behavior occasionally with Chrome as well, but not with any other app. Does anyone know why/how my Teams window got stuck on top? Is there a way to correct this without having to shut down Teams and restart it?Teams webinar poll participant numbers
I'm trying to work out whether a Teams webinar using a premium account will allow more than 300 people to take part in a poll. At a recent webinar with over 500 attendees the polls crashed because too many people were trying to vote. According to some info I'm finding online, a webinar set up with a premium account will enable 1000 people to take part in the poll. However, other places seem to suggest that still capped at 300. Anyone know for sure? Thanks
