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?Is it possible to open up Teams for a dynamic group?
When I set up an intranet for our companies in SharePoint alone, I always create them as a Team site (we have over 200 companies in one tenant). In SharePoint I use dynamic groups "All-Users-Company" so users in each company have access by default. BUT... when they open Teams, they can't see their company's team unless they're added as a member of the site. I would love if Teams would "see/add" users from a dynamic group in SharePoint so they automatically have access to their own Teams site as well - is this possible? 💫🤗💫💫💫
Create a calendar for a private channel
Good evening everyone, I need to create a calendar for a private channel. I was hoping someone could provide me with some advice on the best way to accomplish this with OOB Microsoft technology. I was thinking of creating a group calendar and having a PowerApp / Flow add items to it from the team's channel. Would love to hear some other thoughts on this. Any information is appreciated, HydeHow do you track 1-on-1 meeting notes anywhere in Microsoft Teams?
Hey everyone! How are you all keeping track of your meeting notes? Are you using the built in meeting features? Are you using a seperate app? I've noticed most of our employees are just using their Teams chats as a notepad and it doesn't seem very efficient...
Set work location via API (Graph?)
Hey community! The new work hours and location feature is rolling out for Outlook and Teams: https://blog.admindroid.com/work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-for-efficient-collaboration/ Does anyone know who to read and write this information (especially the location) via API / Microsoft Graph? This is a nice feature and we would like to set this programmatically. Thank you very much! Best regards, JensAdd Teams Chat Member API call inexplicably Failing
I have tried every possible permutation of this API call that I can imagine. Nothing works. I already started a thread on this, but now it appears to be glitched and I can no longer reply to message sin that thread for some reason. What can I do to contact Microsoft Support and speak directly to their API team? The responses I have gotten all appear to be AI generated and NONE ARE CORRECT. I really need help, from a human, that actually might understand what's going on here. Please help. "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember' for 'odata.type' is not valid for this operation." <- I am receiving this error despite the fact that we already have several users in this channel with that same type. This API call is intended to invite a user to an existing group chat. This should really be a very simple thing. 1. ALL users in the group chat already have type = '#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember' so the error message doesn't even make sense. 2. This IS a Group chat. NOT a channel. NOT a one on one chat. 3. The Inviter has permission to invite users to this groupchat through the frontend. (and in fact can do so using the frontend.) Why is this API call failing? I have tried scrubbing the API call of special characters, I have tried using the beta endpoint, I have tried several different formats for the input.

Hello, 1. How do you print from a wiki document? 2. How do you save a wiki document into a word document? 3. Also noticed I cannot copy and paste my work from a wiki document into another word document without the images showing up blank.

All Teams Bots Not Working At All
This morning all of a sudden all our Teams bots stopped working. These are bots built using bot framework running on Azure Bot Teams Channel. Is this related to the current Teams API issue we talking about? All of a sudden all our client and test bots stopped working. But the Web Channel is working as expected. Only the teams channel. We even checked with ngrok and its not even hitting the service. We checked the app registrations and their credentials as well to ensure not issues there too. Completely lost whats happening. Help?
Is it expected that Teams Enterprise users cannot enable Teams Live Chat?
Our organization uses Partner Success Core Benefits and it includes: Microsoft 365 Business Premium (without Teams) Teams Enterprise When I try to enable Live Chat in the Teams admin center, I get this message: “You can't access this yet: At least one member of your org needs a MS 365 Business Basic, Standard, or Premium license to receive customer chats.” But ironically, our employees are on Business Premium — just the “without Teams” version — plus Teams Enterprise. To me, this combination feels like it should be more than enough to use something like Live Chat. I might be missing something, but it’s strange that a higher‑tier Teams license (Teams Enterprise) doesn’t satisfy the requirement, while the entry‑level Business Basic does. It leaves us in a situation where we seem to have all the right capabilities, but the system still blocks Live Chat activation because it doesn’t “recognize” the license combination. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an expected limitation? Is there an official explanation or roadmap from Microsoft about supporting the new “without Teams + Teams Enterprise” model for Live Chat? I want to understand whether this is a temporary gap, a bug, or something intentional. If this affects others too, maybe Microsoft could clarify or reconsider how Live Chat checks license eligibility. Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience or insight.
Tracking Competencies & Development in MS Teams?
Does anyone have any experience building an employee development program inside Microsoft Teams? Our team had the idea to map out competencies and integrate employee development programs into our overall performance management cycle. We would love to keep all of this inside Teams. Is Power Apps the way to go?
Whats the best Practise for on-call duty via teams external calling?
Hey community, I'm a bit in a struggle when setting up our Teams Operator Connect Phone system. We have an Auto attendence which is offering different menus (Press 1..., etc) We're planning on setting up a twentyfour x seven on-call duty where customers can call and are getting redirected to the mobile phones of our technician. I saw the option to forward to one number, but there isn't an option to forward to multiple numbers. How do you guys solve such a scenario, where you have to wake up colleagues mid night? We are changing shifts weekly, always 2 guys, sometimes 3 ppl. on shift. Thank in advance, SchnittlauchIssue with Teams 'Add a User to Group Chat' API call?
I am getting a very strange error when trying to add a new user to an existing group chat using a GraphQL call. I have looked through the documentation, asked AI, and even contacted Microsoft support and no one can seem to explain why this API call is failing. Below is the API call that I am making. I can find no reason that I should be receiving the error message '#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember' To get the basic questions out of the way.... Yes, the account making the API call DOES have permission to add users to the channel (and can do so using the frontend as normal.) Yes, the thread in question is a group chat, so adding members to that chat should be a valid command. Yes, ALL members in the group chat currently have the type '#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember', so it is definitely a valid type for users in this channel. Yes, I have tried both the beta and stable channel; each gives the same error message. Yes, the invited user is internal to our organization, and is a valid target for the invite (invites work through frontend as well.) No, I cannot use the 'add member to channel' endpoint, because the chat is a group chat, not a channel. I can only assume, at this point, that the error message is a red herring and there's something else wrong with my API call?Why am I receiving this error message when trying to add a member to a pre-existing group chat? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have a number of chats on Teams. Let's say I have chats with Jim and Bob. If I'm chatting with Bob, looking at their last message and answering it, then swap to Jim, the view of my chat with Jim appears then Teams scrolls so that the latest message with Jim is off the bottom of the view, and I need to scroll down to get to the latest one. If I do that, then answer, then swap back to the chat with Bob, the same thing happens; the latest messages are shown momentarily and are then replace on the display with older messages where I have to scroll down to the bottom to see the last message I looked at. Teams is showing as version 1.4.00.11161 (64-bit), last updated on 30th June 2022.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! TIAMaking call from Outlook contact card to a phone number no longer working since 1.6.00.18681
Dear all Since Update to Teams 1.6.00.18681, starting a call from Outlook contact card to a phone number is no longer working. Presence is visible, which indicates Teams Presence Plugin, which is handling these requests, is in general working. Making calls to a SIP address of a contact (IM address) is still working, only calls to phone numbers are broken. After clicking to link with phone number under "Work phone" nothing happens. This worked before. User is fully enabled for Teams Telephony. Does someone else mentioned this issue and found a solution to make it work again? Best Regards,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.
