Teams Webinar Q&A not showing for all attendees
We recently hosted a webinar through Teams and used the Q&A app. Some of the attendees did not have the Q&A feature and some did. For those that did have the Q&A button the app worked fine. How can we make the Q&A feature be available for all attendees in the future?
Teams Queue Announce Position and Estimated Hold Time
We desperately need more advanced configuration with call queues in Teams. We need to have periodic announcements of the current position, and optionally an estimated hold time. The user that answers the call needs to be alerted of the callers wait time upon answering the call. This is a basic feature that is missing, and causing great frustration for my customers.Teams Private Channels Just Got Powerful: 1,000 Channels, 5,000 Members & Compliance Simplified
Microsoft Teams Private Channels just got a major upgrade — bigger limits, meeting scheduling, and a simpler compliance model aligned to Microsoft 365 group mailboxes. 🚀 Here’s the key takeaways for IT leaders and Teams admins: Scale up: up to 1,000 private channels per team and 5,000 members per private channel. Meetings supported in private channels. Compliance simplified: private channel messages now live in the team’s M365 group mailbox, aligning DLP, Retention, eDiscovery, and Legal Hold across channel types. Migration timeline: worldwide rollout started in Oct–Dec 2025, with a PowerShell cmdlet to track status: Get-TenantPrivateChannelMigrationStatus. Admin checklist Add your Teams’ M365 group mailbox to Purview DLP/eDiscovery/Retention scopes. Verify Teams channel messages retention applies across standard/shared/private. During migration, ensure searches/holds include both group and user mailboxes. Monitor progress with the cmdlet above. #MicrosoftTeams #PrivateChannels #Microsoft365 #Compliance #Purview #DLP #eDiscovery #TeamsAdmin #CollaborationTeams Messaging Gets Autocorrect
The addition of Autocorrect for messaging is a small but important change for Teams messaging brings Teams up to speed with the other Office applications. It’s taken Teams a little longer than it perhaps should have to support Autocorrect and the implementation is not as functional as it is in Outlook, but that’s not a reason to overlook the update. https://office365itpros.com/2025/12/10/teams-autocorrect-messaging/
Cannot delete organisation from Teams
Hi, It appears to be impossible to delete an organization from Teams Please see the picture below. I am unable to remove the organization beginning with L. I have used my personal email for many years, so I should be the one in control of it! I am the owner/ admin of the email account. However there is no way to delete the rogue /linked organization to which I no longer have access. How can I take back full control of my email/Teams account and remove this rogue organization? I've clicked on everything I can find and nowhere else mentions this organization. Clicking on the organization in Teams just takes me to a page saying "Microsoft Teams Free (Classic) is no longer available" with options to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade I want it deleted! TIAInbound calls to teams number show my company name and not the callers ID
Teams Voice, number type Operator Connect. Issue is when an external call is received the caller ID shows my company name and not the actual callers ID. The only policy enabled is a global default policy with the following settings Block incoming Caller ID - OFF Override the caller ID policy - ON User claims inbound caller ID used to work until an issue recent where the number was unassigned from the user and then re-assigned back to him.
App Validation Issue - Bot must send a proactive welcome message in personal scope
I'm working on a bot application for MS Teams using the Python SDK and encountered a challenge with app validation and the proactive welcome message requirement. What Happened: Initially, our bot handled the welcome message through on_installation_update, but app validation failed with the error: "Bot must send a proactive welcome message in personal scope." To satisfy validation, we added on_members_added_activity to send the welcome message for personal scope, which resolved the validation error. However, this created a new problem: on_members_added_activity is being triggered when we call the Graph API to query chats or users: {graph_url}/me/chats $filter=chatType eq 'oneOnOne' and installedApps/any(a:a/teamsApp/id eq '{teams_app_id}') {graph_url}/users/{user_id}/chats $filter=chatType eq 'oneOnOne' and installedApps/any(a:a/teamsApp/id eq '{teams_app_id}') According to a Stack Overflow discussion (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57496329/proactive-messaging-bot-in-teams-without-mentioning-the-bot-beforehand), this appears to be a known issue: calling this API triggers a conversation update event even though there were no actual updates, resulting in duplicate events and duplicate welcome messages. Questions: What is the official/recommended way to handle known issue: calling this API triggers a conversation update event? Whats the recommended way to read personal chat history of a user? Should we be using a different approach for this app validation requirement? Any guidance or pointers to official documentation would be greatly appreciated!New Teams - Video freezing
I have no issues using the "old" version of teams. The problem only occurs in the "new" version. In a meeting all incoming video turns black (including shared screens). my image "floats" in the middle of the screen and is also frozen. The "mini" window when I minimize the application during a meeting show live/unfrozen incoming video of the speaker. Version Info: You have Microsoft Teams version 23231.413.2355.7555. You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 9/12/2023. The client version is 49/23082000931.Unable to remove old account sing up form Teams on Mac OS
I cannot remove an old sing account from Teams on Mac OS. I have to delete the keychain, I delete the temp folder, and remove and reinstall Teams, and the old account is still there. I have a case open with the Microsoft team, and they cannot figure it out. Where is the login info store, and why has Microsoft not provided a solution where users can remove accounts as easily as they can add? Please help!external company telling me i need to allow my users to enter their meetings
does this make sense to anyone? I have an outside company telling me that they are creating Teams meetings for my company and potential candidates. She indicates that my company is the only company that is not allowed to start the meetings she creates. This does not happen to any of her other customers. She's asked me that I get this fixed on my end. What am i missing here? Is there some sort of setting in my tenant that says do not allow my users to start an external teams meeting?
Always Show All Teams + Channels
I am getting an increasing number of befuddled users complaining that they have lost access to Teams and Channels as well as countless efforts to create channels for projects that already exists. I have had to take a lot of time out of my daily workflow to scour "See all your Teams" to find all the teams and channels Microsoft has determined on its own that I don't need to see. I get that some people may want to hide stuff they don't want to see and that would be a fantatic OPTION to have. In fact, Teams is not intelligent enough to hide the Teams people don't want to see so the option to hide or not hide permanantly should be implemented. We require a way to LOCK all Teams and all Channels to be visible. _ Let Teams decide what to hide. _ Always Show / Hide This Team _ Always Show / Hide This Channel _Pin this Team Why is this so hard?Unsupported card when using Outlook card sharing of card created with Workflows
Hello, The full setup is an automation in Confluence that "send a message to teams". It was previously a teams "webhook" connector that have been replaced by a Teams Workflows "send webhook alerts to a channel" from existing templates. On Confluence side we have configuration for title, message, icon (?) and webhook url. The workflow works but when using Outlook sharing from the posted card in Teams I get: Workflows Card - access it on go.skype.com/cards.unsupported I have have removed Confluence from the equation and used postman to test things. I was not able to find a way to fix that issue. I noticed there is a advanced card id attribute in "Post card in a chat or channel" but I was not able to find what are legit values. There is a mention somewhere that adding a subject could help but it doesnt look like it's compatible with the expected "Adaptive Card" configuration in "Post card in a chat or channel". From what I understand, the workflow just pass the "attachment" structure to the "Post card in a chat or channel" so if the subject is a sibbling element it will obviously not be handled. Any idea on how to do things right? I would surely expect Workflows to provide an integration that would let us create a simple card compatible with how Teams works so maybe it's just a "simple" bug to be reported somewhere. Thanks for any help!Microsft teams wont minimize on endevourOS (arch based)

Inability for External Presenters to Manage Breakouts is hurting our business in the L&D industry
I've raised this topic in various forums and at numerous conferences over the years, but I'm hoping we can initiate a productive dialogue here. We operate in the L&D space, offering corporate training support for global clients across over a dozen platforms, and have been doing so since the days of Skype. Whether it's WebEx, Adobe Connect, Zoom, or another platform, the process is generally straightforward. We receive host rights, and we’re set to go. However, Microsoft Teams is an exception. From the beginning, conducting training sessions as an external vendor on Teams has been extremely challenging. Despite some improvements over the years, one critical piece of functionality is still missing: external users cannot manage breakout rooms. This oversight is severely impacting our business, as well as many other small businesses like ours, as our corporate clients transition to Teams. Many organizations move to the Microsoft ecosystem partly due to their InfoSec policies, making the issuance of internal organization credentials difficult and often necessitating additional hardware. It's not just external vendors who are frustrated. Many of our clients, including the L&D departments of Fortune 500 companies, have actively opposed their companies' transition to Teams. We want to embrace these transitions and even endorse and encourage them. Is this functionality on the roadmap? Who do we need to speak to, or what actions are required to fully address this issue? We are eager to discuss the friction points of using Teams for training from the perspective of a company that has facilitated and supported hundreds of thousands of trainings across every major platform over the last decade. Your thoughts and insights would be greatly appreciated.
Problems with synchronizing speed dial buttons between Yealink MP56 E2 and Yealink EXP50
Hello everyone, I have the following problem. We have several Yealink MP56 E2 Teams phones with connected Yealink EXP50 key extensions. Unfortunately, for about half a year now, the synchronization of speed dial keys between the phone and the key extension has only been possible to a limited extent. Specifically, you can create contacts on the phone and add them to speed dial via the phone. However, in 99 out of 100 cases, this is not synchronized. The same applies to deleting contacts. What's strange is that the deleted contact is not actually deleted from the phone itself and reappears after 2 seconds. I had already read that this error has occurred from time to time in recent years. Unfortunately, there has been no noticeable improvement in the last six months. I have already tried the following: Resetting the phone, rebooting after changes, disconnecting the connection between MP56 E2 and EXP50, logging back into the phone, updating the phone's firmware and the phone's Teams app. Unfortunately, none of this has been successful. Does anyone else have any ideas or has Microsoft made an official statement that there are problems here?
MS Teams Mission Control Center
We provide meeting/webinar support for a major client using MS Teams. Highlighting participants via "Spotlight" in large meetings is quite cumbersome, especially during Q&A sessions, and it's relatively time-consuming and causes awkward pauses. Isn't there a way to improve this? Perhaps an external control page? Furthermore, it would be very helpful to be able to switch seamlessly to different cameras and videos without having to go through OBS or Vmix, or connect a hardware video mixer. Are there any solutions on the market that don't require multiple people to manage a meeting with high demands? If not, we will need to develop this ourselves 😉.How to COMPLETELY delete / unistall Teams
I have an issue with the New Teams. In the old Teams I had access to a guest account and could easily switch. After updating to New Teams - the account that get shown has a combination of the guest org and my own org. I have no way to switch to the guest account. Then when I log out I see a list of other accounts I have used in the past. These are not guest accounts but actual login accounts. I don't have access to them anymore and they are not listed as organisations I'm a member of. I have uninstalled Teams, deleted cache several time but I can not get everything deleted! I have created a new windows profile to test and the issue does not appear there. (not the solution I want) So how do I COMPLETELY DELETE / UNISTALL Teams? I want everything gone from my work profile so I can get a clean install that works.
