Phishing Simulation Training with Teams?
Hey all, while setting up some Exchange Online Phishing Simulation Training, I saw the (greyd-out) option to use a teams payload when it comes to setting up a phishing simulation. I didnt find any very useful articles, why this is greyed out. Business Premium+ Defender and Purview Suite for BP is licensed. How do I set this up and configure it? Does this also support all types of attacks (Credital harvest, ...) I'd be happy for any recommendations! BR Schnittlauch
Continuous feedback in Teams without it getting lost in chat?
Our company is trying to move from annual reviews to continuous feedback. The idea is that managers and peers give quick feedback throughout the year and it all gets captured somewhere. Right now people just send feedback in Teams chat or email and it vanishes. By the time reviews come around nobody remembers what was said 6 months ago. Is there a structured way to give and receive feedback inside Teams that actually saves it and makes it retrievable later?
Customizing Participant Data in Teams Meetings
Hello, I have a Teams Premium account, and I would like to customize the participant data. Most of the participants are outside of my organization. Ideally, I would like participants to add their full names as well as their department when they log into the meeting. Otherwise, I am having to ask participants to add that information into the chat, and they don't always do it. What is the best way to achieve this? Thanks, David
Teams Transcription (Licensing / Button greyed out for some users)
Hello, i have questions regarding transcription in Teams. Our org has Microsoft 365 Business Standard licenses, two users have icrosoft 365 Copilot Business on top of that. First question: is transcription possible for users without Copilot Business License? If the meeting policy is specified as something other than "off", some people can start the transcription, even if all participants of the meeting have no Copilot Business License. Is this on purpose or am i using a loophole and am i violating my license agreement in any way? Second question: some users can start the transcriptions, while others with the same teams version, license and meeting policy can not I read that having the personal setting disabled to identify yourself automatically in meetings will prevent you from starting the transcription, but that setting is enabled for every participant. On the teams app for android, one participant can enable the transcription, in the same meeting in the desktop app it is not available (disabled by Administrator per Policy) Teams version is 26072.519.4556.7438. Any pointers how i can locate the user specific difference, that is responsible for the transcription? I checked the assigned meeting policy and it is the same. Thanks for your time and help! Best regards, AndiY
ad-hoc call transcripts via graph api endpoint
I have an app with the below permissions. I can successfully get list of transcripts and transcript content for online meetings. But when I try to get list for ad-hoc calls, I get the 400 Bad Request error. Any suggestions on how to get ad hoc call transcripts? Permissions Error:Create Bot without Developer Studio
Hi, We have a bit hard policies and users are not able to use the Developer Studio by they own to make new Bot: If you press [New Bot] you can give the name, but then [Create Bot] start hanging and does nothing. Previously on Azure had a user setting which block or allow users to register apps. Now I need our tenant admins or application administrators (?) to setup the bot(s) manually. Does anybody knows if the bot registration for Teams is possible to do without developer studio? The Developer Studio shows only your own Bots, so they cannot do that for me using Developer Studio.
Planner task comments no longer send email notifications – critical regression
This change removed a previously existing core functionality without providing an adequate replacement. With the new Planner experience, task comments no longer trigger automatic email notifications to assigned users. This breaks a critical communication mechanism that many teams relied on for reliable task coordination. As a result, assigned users are no longer consistently informed about updates, introducing a high risk of missed information and operational issues in day-to-day work. There is currently no supported or enforceable alternative to ensure users are notified. Previous behavior: Task comments triggered automatic email notifications Assigned users were reliably informed Communication was traceable and consistent Current behavior: No automatic email notifications No configuration to restore this @mentions required (manual, error-prone, not enforceable) Microsoft Support has confirmed that this is by design and cannot be reverted. From an enterprise perspective, this is not just a design change, but a regression of critical functionality without an equivalent replacement. Request: Please restore automatic email notifications for task discussions or provide a reliable, enforceable alternative for notifying assigned users. Question to the community: How are you handling this change in real-world scenarios? Switching tools? Enforcing @mentions? Moving communication out of Planner? Would appreciate hearing how others are dealing with this.Inaccessible colour contrast for high text in Microsoft Teams in Dark mode on desktop
Issue: All highlighted text in Teams has poor colour contrast when in Dark mode on desktop. While some may be readable, none of the highlight colour options meet WCAG colour contrast minimums. How to reproduce Go to MS teams app on Win 11 and set appearance to dark mode. Create any default coloured text (this is white in dark mode) and apply any text highlight colour The result is inaccessible: it does not meet WCAG colour contrast thresholds and is very hard to read. Notes on behaviour On mobile (android MS Teams app) - the text colour changes to black which does meet the colour contrast minimum. This behaviour (illegible white text) on light backgrounds is also found on high contrast mode. This is different behaviour from MS word, which meets colour contrast minimum in a different way. Here highlight colours in dark mode are adjusted (e.g. the background highlight ffff00 --> is shifted to 393900 when dark mode is selected), and the text colour remains unchanged so there is enough contrast between the highlight and the white text colour. What happens next This needs a fix in make this accessible to users in dark mode so content can be read if another user has highlighted text. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I was unable to register my MS account on the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/answers/
Teams & channels names are blank
So fun UI issue on Desktop application (26072.519.4556.7438).. Teams and channels are blank and not clickable.. I've reset & repaired app, cleared the cache and reinstalled (temp fixed but same issue came back) Web version works good, but user wants a fix not a "workaround" Any ideas?attach file option not visible with bot joined call
I have created bot using azure and recall.ai When bot joins adhoc or schedule team meetings, it is appearing as an external user. While we have created bot email as well in azure AD. And I think due to this we are not able to see attach file option in teams chat when bot gets invited into the adhoc or schedule meetingQuestion about Teams Phone licensing
Hi everyone, I have a question about Teams Phone licensing: If I have some users who have Teams Phone to make and receive external calls, when one of them receives an external call, can they transfer it to another user who only has a regular Teams license but not a Teams Phone license? Or does the user I want to transfer the call to also need a Teams Phone license? I couldn't find a KB article that clarifies this. Thanks regardsWeb Notifications API from Personal Tab app doesn't work
I have a client-side web application that we're trying to get to run as a Teams personal tab app. I have the app working as a teams app, as long as we "open in new window" so that the app doesn't get put to sleep as it needs a permanently up session with something else. Our app uses Web Notifications API (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notification) to create desktop notificiations, but this does not seem to work when running as a Teams tab app popped out into a new window. No notifications are displayed. Permissions have been requested correctly and given and Windows is set to allow notifications, but these web notifications never make it out of teams to the desktop. There are no errors in the browser console to say the web notifications are not supported in Teams. Is this not supported as a teams app? The inbuilt activity feed is useless for our purpose (for a few reasons), so please don't suggest I use graph to make use of that instead.
SSO for a Python Teams Bot (M365 Agents SDK + FastAPI) — Single-Tenant, Multi-Tenant, and UAMI
We're building, a Teams bot (Python / FastAPI) that uses the M365 Agents SDK (microsoft-agents-hosting-fastapi + microsoft-agents-authentication-msal, v0.8.0) with a CloudAdapter and MsalConnectionManager. The bot is currently scoped to personal only and runs behind an Azure Bot resource. We are trying to implement SSO to authenticate users, so far we are not successful. The main blocker is that we failed to authenticate users from tenant different than the Azure Bot resource of our app. If anyone has successfully managed to authenticate users on Teams using a setup similar than ours please do share your experience. We would love to learn from your experience. So far this was our main source of documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/authentication/bot-sso-overview Many thanksUser with intermittent poor performance in Teams
We have a Dell laptop user who has intermittent poor performance with Teams. Video and audio get laggy. Replaced all of his hardware with newer equipment, made sure drivers were all up to date, yet the problem continues. Clearing the Teams cache works most of the time. This doesn't happen with most other users in our company. Any ideas where to focus our efforts to fix this?
Can no longer "log out" (signing out is not logging out)
Hello, Up until recently, when right clicking the Teams icon on the task bar, there was an option to Log Out of teams, which had the effect of logging out (re-opening the program would instantly lead to LOGGING IN). On the most recently release, this is gone. There is now only an option to SIGN OUT, which is done through a menu in the program itself, and has further consequences (namely a full Sign in (with username/password etc) is required, themes disappear etc). How to log out of current session, but not SIGN OUT?
Struggling to keep 1:1 meeting notes organized across weeks in Teams
I have 8 direct reports and we do weekly 1:1s. Right now I'm keeping notes in OneNote but theres no easy way to carry over action items from last week or see what we talked about 3 months ago without scrolling forever. Teams meeting notes are even worse because each meeting creates a separate note. Someone in my company suggested using a Loop page but that still doesnt solve the continuity problem. How are other managers keeping a running history of 1:1 conversations thats actually searchable and organized?
