In this blog post, I’ll walk you through exactly how to set up and go live from Microsoft Teams to LinkedIn. We’ll cover everything from the one-time setup to day-of event steps.

I like the Agenda and Action items built into Teams but dislike that each meeting is an island (now in Loop). What are some best practices on how to have continuity across a set of meetings, whether using those widgets or not? Do you just do it external to Teams? Sometimes these meetings are in a series but often get moved. Currently we create the meetings just in Outlook, not in a Channel. I have heard mixed success of it being in a channel.
Mention people in the comments of Tasks
How do you mention someone in the comments section of a task? I've seen other queries about this dating back to 2017, and in 2019 Microsoft said they are working on it... so has this been done? Example: My colleague and I have been assigned a task - to upload content onto the website. In the checklist it notes my colleague will write the content, and then I will upload it. I'm trying to tag her in my comment to say, "@ let me know when the copy is ready for me to upload." Is there actually no way to do this?
Skype to teams migrations
We are converting our user base from Skype to teams, a few things that are standing out as issues: 1) sync between mobile and desktop, still not working, skype goes away next week, when will this be fixed, HUGE ISSUE for user base 2) Some users are reporting that when they respond in a chat, that their reply is showing up above the next statement from the other participant, its very confusing and fastly becoming an issue. 3)Emoji's, will these be changed to a non-animated emoji? :) 4) issues installing and getting messages about "personal accounts not allowed" not clear how to get around this isxue, generally windows updates/uninstalls multiple times and eventually it works? Thanks for any ideas on these issues!Breakout room issues to assign user to a room
Anyone else seen issues to assign a user to a break out room? Screenshot in Swedish but the "i" say "This user can't access breakout room" At the time for testing that user was signed in to Teams with an external identity and used Edge browser. Ended meeting and rejoined and this time it worked but that is not the case all the time. Issue seems to be random. This happens quite often last couple of months, anyone seen this?
Chat window opens on top of meeting window when clicking on Teams icon in dock (MacOS)
When I'm on a Teams video call and I'm working on another app, if I click the Teams icon in the MacOS dock, it brings up the Teams chat window on top of the Teams video call window. So I have to minimise the chat window to see the video window. This is because there is a separate window for chats as for a video meeting (and yes I have checked my settings and I have selected that new chats and incoming notifications are opened in the main window, not a new separate window) I can't even resize the chat window so that even if it's on top it's small because of this window resizing bug. That would have been a nice workaround.
Unable to connect to OneDrive. Please try uploading again. Teams error message when uploading photos
We use Teams to communicate within the company. About 50% of the time when I try to drag and drop or click the paperclip to send a needed photo or screenshot to the team, I get a message, "Unable to connect to OneDrive. Please try uploading again." None of the solutions I see online seems to solve the problem. I have Microsoft Teams Version (the currently latest version) on a Mac. I used Skype for years without any of these problems. I have a paid OneDrive account with plenty of storageBreakout rooms and external attendees
Hi we have colleagues who use Teams to run external training/awareness sessions, these are mainly with external attendees and around 40/50 per session. Everything used to work fine until August 2024, but since then, there have been majors issues. The attendees are all using the latest version of desktop teams. the issues are: Some attendees come in as assigned attendees, others come in fine with name. When screen sharing for example slides, the ones who are unassigned cant see anything When trying to put them into breakout, some go in, others cannot and they have to remain in main room. As ive said, there this was all working perfectly prior to August 2024, when i believe there was some major upgrade to teams. any help please?Breakout rooms with external participants
hi we have an on going isssue with external participants' in breakout rooms in a teams meeting. This was all working perfectly prior to August 2024 then the issues have arisen. Some colleagues use breakroom facility to provide training to 40/50 external users, some can get in no problem, others have major issues. Some come in as unassigned attendees, thus results in them not being able to see shared screens and also not being able to be allocated into a breakout. This is obviously very stressful for the person running these session. As I say prior to Aug 2024( which i think was a time of major updates in teams) everything was working perfectly. All attendees are using the very latest version of teams and we are aware that if they are using the web version breakout rooms can sometimes prove a problem, but they are all using the lastest desktop version. any thoughts would be most welcome
Empowering Teams Meetings: Request for Individual Volume Control Feature
Hello everyone, I'd like to take a moment to bring attention to a potential feature that has been requested for quite some time now within our community. It would be truly valuable if Teams could incorporate a functionality seen in other similar platforms such as Zoom or Discord, which enables users to independently adjust the volume of each participant during calls or meetings. Additionally, it's worth highlighting that individuals with hearing impairments would significantly benefit from this enhancement. The implementation of this feature would be tremendously welcomed and valued by many!
