Two different Delete-Only Retention Policies for Microsoft Teams chat
I have created two different delete-only retention policies for Microsoft Teams chat. Four of us use a 90-day deletion policy and the rest of our staff use a 30-day deletion policy. My question is: If I am using the 90-day policy and I chat with someone who uses the 30-day policy, will my chats remain visible for 90 days and theirs for 30? Or will the most restrictive policy take over and delete the chats from both sides after 30 days?
Issue with Teams RSC Permission TeamMember.Read.Group
I want to use Teams RSC to allow a bot to add and remove members of (private) teams channels. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/graph-api/rsc/resource-specific-consent#supported-rsc-permissions the API scope ChannelMember.ReadWrite.Group is appropriate for that. -> "Read and write the members of this team's channels." I have created a teams app and added the RSC API application scope (ChannelMember.ReadWrite.Group) to the App manifest and published the app to my org. The app has the "team" scope. Then I installed the app in a team and tested the API access. I sign-in with the Application SP using app-only auth. What is working: I can read the members of a public channel in the team using: invoke-mggraphRequest -Uri https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/[team id]/channels/[channel id]/members -Method Get I can also read the members of a shared channel in the team using the same request. What is not working: I cannot access a private channel in the team: The above request yields the response: "code":"Forbidden","message":"Caller does not have the required roles for accessing 'Private' channel data. To access 'Private' data, API requires one of 'ChannelMember.Read.All, ChannelMember.ReadWrite.All, Group.Read.All, Directory.Read.All, Group.ReadWrite.All, Directory.ReadWrite.All'. Roles on the request 'Group.Selected'." I cannot remove a member from a shared channel. The request: invoke-mggraphRequest -Uri https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/teams/[team id]/channels/[channel id]/members/[member id] -Method Delete yields the error: "code":"Forbidden","message":"Caller app is not enabled for requesting the channel of 'Shared' channel type. To access channel data app has to be enabled in the requesting channel." Has someone successfully used the RSC TeamMember.Read.Group in a shared or private channel? Why does the API not work in private channels and only for read in shared channel? The documentation says "of this team's channels", it does not mention any restriction to public channels. Also a write scope only to public channels does not make sense, as members of a public channel are inherited from the team and cannot be managed seperately. What do I need to do differently to be able to read and modify members of private and shared channels in a team using RSC permissions?Show Meeting Attendees in Order They Joined the Meeting
Bottom line up front: Is there a way to show meeting attendees on the "People" tab in the order they joined the meeting vs alphabetically? Facilitating Teams meetings is a big part of my job and it's important to know when certain, usually high level, people join the call. Usually the call can't start until a key person joins. Let's say the important person's last name is "Wright"; currently, I have to continuously scroll down to the bottom of the list of People to see if Ms. Wright has joined the call, since her name will be at or near the bottom of the list. To add to the complications, many times the call is large, so I have to hit "See More" to be able to see the bottom of the list (and in the process not be able to allow any external attendees in the meeting). Is there a way to sort the People list in the order they arrive to the meeting? E.g., most recent attendees get added to the top of the list vs slotted in alphabetically.
Teams recordings and transcript
Hey everyone, I’m trying to set up Teams recordings and transcripts for certain Client Advisor meetings so that -Only advisors can access them -Deleted automatically after 24 hours -Other meetings by the same advisors remain unaffected Teams meeting policies aren’t ideal because they apply to all meetings for a user. Retention labels in Purview are tricky to apply per meeting. Has anyone: -Done per-meeting 24h retention for Teams recordings? -Found ways to automatically detect specific meetings? -Automated retention + access restriction using Power Automate or other tools? Looking for practical advice or examples ideally something fully automated, without relying on manual deletion.Teams video quality around 1 Mbps in the EMEA region
Since Corona we have noticed very poor video quality (1Mbps). We understand you had a capacity issue and had to set this limit. The limit has been lifted in other regions but not in EMEA. We are paying for this service and use it a lot. We have large meeting rooms based on this and we are getting a lot of negative feedback from our users because if the low video quality. People are now pushing us towards Cisco Webex and we will be installing the first couple of Webex meeting rooms next month. You owe your customers a deadline and some more details about this. And no this is not an issue in our end, we have had support cases with Microsoft and have had this verified.
Pin to top in Posts tab of a Channel is not sticking
I love that MS Teams now has the functionality to pin posts. This is especially helpful as we are looking to put a "virtual bulletin board" in place at my company. I would like to "pin" the bulletin board rules and how-to posts so they don't get buried in other posts when we launch. However, when I do pin the message, it does not pin it to the top (or bottom since new posts are listed at the bottom) of the feed. All it does is add a green bar to the left of the message window and a small green thumbtack icon on the top right. How do we actually pin this message to the top (or bottom) of a feed to ensure everyone sees it? I have pinned these, but they are not pinned to the top or the bottom of the feed. I have tested this in other Teams channels as well and the pin functionality just seems to add a green bar and pushpin - but doesn't actually pin it. I have also found out that other members can pin/unpin my posts. If there's not a solution here, that's okay. I will just have to put together a small Wiki tab with the rules and how-to. It would just be nice that it worked as I think users want it to work...
Teams Outlook Addin Missing
Hello Please i need your help on this issue. Teams Outlook Addin Missing. The diagnostics confirmed that the Teams add-in and Classic Teams are missing: I followed the troubleshooting instructions, and the add-in is still not enabled. Whilst the checkbox can be ticked, it cannot be enabled. I have also tried to add the add-in .dll file from the below window (following the filepath), but receive an error. This is the Teams version:Please tell me how to disable the Pin Copilot message

I'm curious to learn how other organizations are managing rewards and recognition programs within Microsoft Teams. Are you using built-in features like praise badges and announcements, third-party apps from the Teams store, or custom solutions integrated through Power Platform?Ghost notifications
Got an employee that still receives notifications for a meeting that no longer exists. Have logged her out then back in, cleared cache, cleared data, re-installed and verified with the owner/creator of the meeting that the meeting has been deleted. She only gets this on her iPhone and no where else. Ideas?Help- When I go onto the chat on a teams call, everything zoom/glitches
Recently, when I've been on a teams video call (on my computer teams app) and I go onto the chat, the whole screen view has changed. It becomes sort of zoomed in and very difficult to navigate. I can only go up and down by trying to click up through the chat messages or by trying to zoom out a lot so that I'm able to see the chat exit sign and I am not able to see any of the people in the call or any of the functions like leave/mute.... If I'm able to reach the exit button, once the chat is left the screen view goes back to normal. It's really annoying, please let me know how to fix this. Thanks
Microsoft Presenter+ not working in New Teams
I've had the Microsoft Presenter+ accessory successfully working in the Classic Teams, and I'm sure this issue was resolved at one point in New Teams, but now seems to be broken again. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried removing the Bluetooth device and re-connecting. The pointer works but not the mute button which is the most important thing. Anyone else having the same issue? and how did you solve it? These are the details of the device in Microsoft Accessory Centre; Model: Presenter+ Hardware version: 1.b.7 Firmware version: 1.25Teams build 25275.2601.4002.2815) instantly closes on launch ucrtbase.dll error 0xc0000409

Why do I have to click out of and then back into a chat for the notification to clear?
Every time I get a chat on desktop when Teams isn't in focus or is in the system tray, I get a notification (normal so far). When I open Teams, if that chat conversation was the last I had open, I have to click on a different chat and then back to the first in order for the notification to clear. Happens every time. I've uninstalled and re-installed and tested on another Win10 machine, same resultsAuto-Updating Teams Work Location is Not Employee Monitoring
As is the way of the internet, the news that a feature to automatically set the Teams work location for users created a huge fuss about the prospect that managers would keep an eye on employees based on their location. Of course, this is all rubbish. The update automates an existing feature that no sane manager would use to monitor employees. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/28/teams-work-location-auto/
