Unauthorized external user joining Class Team call
On one of our online school days, we had someone asking to join from the lobby with a changed display name with a swear word. We do not allow guest access on our platform. We do not have a log as the person was not admitted into the meeting. However everyone saw the message " so and so" is waiting in the lobby. also next to the name "External" appears. How can we stop this happening again? what should I advice our admin to set up as policies?
Assignments not accessible in Teams
The Assignment app has stopped accessibility from our classes in Teams. When student click on an new assignment, the notification that comes up is: Something went wrong - come back later ... and that has been for several months. The same goes for teachers who try to open the from the team. I can only make an assignment when I go to the global app in the Me space. And when I assign it, the students can't open it, and have to go to the Me space. Does anyone know how to fix it? We love the app, so we want it to work as smooth as possible. Thank you for any helpTeams Breakout rooms
As I'm new in this community, I don't know if this issue has been raised before, so forgive me if I'm repeating it: In our ELT school in Corinth, Greece, we have been using MSTeams since the covid pandemic and we haven't found a practical and well-functioning way to monitor all the breakout rooms at the same time. I hope there has been some improvement in this. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.Class Team calendar doesn't show in the class startpage
I used to love the startpage app in class teams, but since the spring of 2025, the calendar is not imported to show in the startpage under teaching schedule. If I add a calendar to each class, it doesn't show either. The teaching schedule says the group doesn't exist any longer, maybe it has been deleted (no it has not been deleted). All I seem to be able to. The only way is by is to make all classes to M365 groups, but that shouldn't be necessary, or is it? Sad to lose the generel calendar in class teams. Thanks for any help or advise.
Turn in Assignments for Students
I would love to be able to select multiple students and Turn in the assignment for them! I like that I can do it individually, but often I need to help out multiple students in multiple classes. I know there's a learning curve to teach them to "turn it in on TEAMS when you are done" but so many don't and then they can't remember if they completed as assignment (if it is paper based). Pretty please add this feature!
Assignmentanswers in Teams can be read by everyone
It turns out that the Excel-file that is generated for me to view the results of a Forms-test, given as an assignment in Teams, is placed in the Teams-library where Teams-members are granted editing rights by default. This, not only makes it possible for every Team-member, my students, to see everyone's result, but also to edit the answers. I know it is possible to alter the rights given to this library, but I don't like the idea of instructing every teacher in our school to do this. This Excel-file should NOT be placed in this library, but rather in my personal OneDrive as it is if I don't use the assignement-tool in Teams. Is there a way someone in Microsoft can fix this? Please? Best regards OddgeirDownload the submitted files related to an assignment
Some teachers still wants to evaluate a printed document and not just the digital one. I know they can download submitted files from the sharepoint-repository, but then they have to go through so many folders. Is there a way to download say, all word-documents submitted on the assignment "Whatever the assignment they where given"? So browsing the folders by assignment instead of by student I guess. Does anyone know? Regards Oddgeir
'Hide' assignments
Hi I am new to the MS Teams Classroom and really like the way it looks so far. I teach a group that is self paced and want to be able to give access to assignments to individual students once the have completed the learning materials, is this possible? I find that when the assignments are available my students tend to go straight there skipping the learning materials.
