Teams Gains Ability to Start Chat with Email Address
A new Teams feature allows users to initiate chats with any email address. This caused some commotion in the security community, but it’s not that bad. In fact, it’s an extension of existing functionality that allows Teams users to chat with guest accounts. All that’s happening is that initiating a chat causes a new guest account to be created in the tenant, and there’s lots of controls to make sure that guests are controlled. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/10/chat-with-email-address-teams/Reporting the Use of Emojis in Teams Reactions
Reporting the Use of Emojis in Teams ReactionsThis article explains how to use PowerShell to extract audit data to analyze the use of emojis as Teams reactions to chat and channel messages. This is not an exercise that leads to any great business value, but it’s a good way to show the sometimes surprising data that can be extracted from audit records. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/07/teams-reactions-emojis/Overriding Original Number in Call Transfer
Hello I have Teams with Direct Routing setup. I understand that in a call transfer, the phone number from original caller will be preserved up until the call reach to final transferee. But I have a case that this original caller number must be replaced by the Teams user's DID who does the transfer. I already disabled the Forward History, switching settings on Forward PAI even playing with Caller ID policy but still the original caller number shows up. I got recommendation doing it on SBC level but I will try as much as possible not to touch the SBC unless I really have to. Can it be done on Teams side or is it really need to be done on SBC level? Thank you in advance.The Files tab in channels is now "Shared"
I've found this Roadmap article about this feature: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=470597 The Microsoft 365 Admin Message Center Message ID MC1025217 says "Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation." But I can't find any documentation and users in my organisation have this new feature. It's not in any of the blog posts here. Any thoughts on where to find useful end user materials?Stealing Access Token Secrets from Teams is Hard Unless a Workstation is Compromised
Teams stores information in a local state file, including encrypted access tokens. A report from a French company explained how to extract and use those tokens with the Graph API. Is this important? It could be if attackers manage to gain access to a workstation, but at that point you’ve got other problems, and maybe using code to decrypt some tokens is the least of your troubles. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/27/local-state-file-teams/Microsoft Teams Workflows v2: New Features, Faster Automation Explained

The Teams Developer Portal needs administrative views
The Teams Developer portal needs some way for Teams service admins or Global admins to view everything that is being deployed to the catalog both in a published and unpublished state. Alternatively, develop some graph endpoints that could be turned into cmdlets in Microsoft Teams PowerShell module or the Graph PowerShell SDK module. As administrators we need the ability to help with keeping our tenant clean, so these kinds of views or endpoints would allow us to make sure that anything uploaded and not needed may be removed or reassigned if the underlying owner leaves and someone else needs to take over something they've been developing. I've submitted a feedback item to the portal - so please help by adding a vote to the entry to bring it up as an enhancement for the Teams Developer Portal services. The Teams Developer Portal needs administrative views or PowerShell/Graph capabilities to manage uploaded solutions and other artifacts · Community
Affordable Conference Room Setups for Small Businesses Using Microsoft Teams Resource Accounts
Our small business (around 40 users) recently migrated from Google to Microsoft 365, and we’re facing several challenges in optimizing our meeting rooms for Teams without incurring large costs. Here’s our current setup and the main issues we are encountering—hoping for advice or creative solutions from the community. Current Setup All computers are domain-joined. We created resource accounts for each of our three meeting rooms; these appear correctly as Rooms in Outlook and Teams booking menus. Each meeting room contains a standard desktop PC (not MTR-certified) running Windows, logged into Teams as the room’s resource account. Employees use the meeting room computer to join calls and manage the meeting calendar. Current Issues Wireless Presenting (Casting): Teams’ wireless casting feature appears to require MTR-certified hardware, which is financially out of reach for a business our size. Unplugging and plugging HDMI cables is cumbersome and error-prone, especially since not everyone uses a laptop, and reconnecting the room PC is often forgotten. Agenda & Calendar Privacy: When meetings are booked, the full Teams agenda and chat history remain accessible on the meeting room machine. That means anyone in the room can view past meetings/agendas, which isn’t ideal from a privacy perspective. Screen Sharing and File Security: To present from the meeting room PC, any files must be accessible by the resource account, creating additional security concerns and sharing/permission headaches. What We’re Looking For Affordable wireless presenting options for meeting rooms—ideally something that integrates smoothly with Microsoft Teams, but without requiring full MTR hardware. Best practices to lock down or reset the meeting room PC so meeting agendas, chats, and files are not visible after a session. Secure ways to allow guests to present (screen share, share files, etc.) without exposing company data or making users jump through complicated permission processes. If anyone has experience setting up small, cost-effective Teams Rooms, especially with regular PCs rather than dedicated MTR devices, advice would be greatly appreciated! Specific steps, hardware/software recommendations, or management tips would all be helpful. Thanks in advance for any guidance!How to Add a Timer to Microsoft Teams Meetings | Step-by-Step Guide

Teams users can use emojis to create or rename chat section names. By incorporating emojis into section names, users create “visual anchors” to help navigate through Teams chats and channels. Sprinkling emojis around section names doesn’t really make me navigate any smarter, but it’s a feature that Slack has, so Teams can’t be left behind in the pretty interface stakes. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/08/teams-chat-section-names/Teams Bluetooth Audio Stack - Headphone vs Headset Failure
Been having a strange issue since the latest update on New Teams (1st Oct 2025 updated). This only happens with Bluetooth and with Headsets like PLT Voyager Legend and Yealink BH71 and on Windows 11. Mobile phone Teams works fine and to be clear, all other apps work fine with the Headsets. Its ONLY Teams doing this, and onluy since this update - worked perfectly for years before. When my device is connected Teams is separating the Speakers as Headphone and the Mic as Headset. This now means that when using the Mic, it won't play audio through the headphone (speaker) and vica versa when using the speaker (headphone) it won't allow the Mic (headset) to be used. This is a MASSIVE regression and extemely frustrating for any mobile user. I thought this was a PLT issue, so I bought a brand new Yealink BH71 and connected it via bluetooth and it did exactly the same thing. To be clear, this was working perfectly for months and years before this latest update.
Premium Planner major flaw: Transfer to other groups does not work
I have just realized today that it is not possible to transfer premium planners to other groups. There is the "copy plan" feature but NOT the "select a destination group" feature. Probably a miss from the product team, Should not be too hard to fix.

BUG: Teams "search"/"find" functionality totally broken with rich (formatted) text
Consider the following formatted/rich text comment: Test word1 word2 word3 Using "search"/"find" (either the global "Search", or the "Find in chat" function) will fail to match the comment when searching for either "test", "word1", "word2", or "word3". This is because buggy Teams just strips the formatting (instead of replacing the formatting with breaks), effectively glueing all words together in the index; searching for "testword1word2word3" (one word) DOES match the comment. 🤦🤦🤦
Client authentication EKU changes in public TLS certificate
Hi, Can someone clarify the upcoming change to remove the client authentication EKU and the conflicting information within MS docs for Teams Direct Routing certificates? As stated here from October 2025 there is an industry wide change to remove the client authentication EKU from issued TLS certificates: https://knowledge.digicert.com/alerts/sunsetting-client-authentication-eku-from-digicert-public-tls-certificates However, both server and client EKU's are required for mTLS and Microsoft states here that both server and client EKU's are required: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/direct-routing-whats-new#sbc-certificates-eku-extensions-test Digicert are offering an X9 PKI that includes both server and client EKU's but it seems the signing CA is not trusted by Microsoft at this stage. What guidance are Microsoft offering with this upcoming change to ensure that customers are not affected when renewing their certificates?Library switching removed
I just realize that the library switch feature is not available anymore in Teams (reachable from the main channel) We are now forced to open in SharePoint to access this feature. This is a lost of productivity for users who want to access other libraries in the site... I can't understand why this was removed. Is there a technical reason?
