Add Group Chat As A Channel
Hi all, I am wondering if there is a way to make a channel in a team that behaves the same as a group chat. I understand the advantages and disadvantages of conversations vs chats. Basically I like having conversation for work related things, the threads are good for organizations etc. At the same time I would prefer having a channel for general chit chat that behaves like a group chat (with the reply behavior of a chat and the general flow of a chat.) Yes I could just make a group chat that has the same members as my team but it is less comfortable to continuously go between the Teams tab and the Chats tab, and also inviting members to both the Group and the Chat can be annoying when there are many of them. Is there a way to do this that I missed?ohanochMay 14, 2025Brass Contributor131KViews25likes39CommentsHide bar at top of teams sharing
Hi all When I share my screen in meetings it involves using a browser i.e. I`m presenting things using google chrome. I get a bar asking me to change my screen size/settings etc on teams. It's frustrating because I have to click away or wait a moment. Is there a way to stop this from appearing?? thanks!Solvedrayted22May 14, 2025Iron Contributor441KViews55likes137CommentsTeams Recap - remove permissions
Hello! Is it possible to remove meeting participants access to a Teams recording and transcription via the Recap? I cannot see any setting to change who has access to the Recap. Is the only way to download then delete the transcription? And change the recording permissions via Stream?

Hi there! I'm trying to create a new classroom team in Teams, but neither my normal account or my GA account has permissions to create teams from templates, nor from another team. The options are greyed out and the tooltip says I don't have permission. The "from scratch" option is completely missing, only "From a group" is available. I've ensured that both accounts have a license (Education A3) and the appropriate permissions in the Teams Admin Portal (where I can create normal teams from scratch with my admin account no problem). Am I missing something? Are there any more permissions required? I've tried both in a browser and in the desktop app.13Views0likes0CommentsAnswering calls when call queue agents are unavailable or away
I am in the process of setting up Teams voice to replace an on-premises PBX. This is my first foray into voice systems and I could use some guidance. We still use a receptionist to answer incoming calls to our local and toll-free number. I'm trying to replicate current PBX call flow over to Teams Voice. Our current call flow is very simple. During normal business hours incoming calls ring on four handsets: Receptionist, Hall Phone, Conf Phone, Common Phone. If the receptionist is away from either of these phones, another user can pick up a handset, select the flashing phone line, answer the call then transfer caller to another user or to voicemail. I have created the following Main Call Queue Resource account Main Line 123-555-4545 Toll Free Line 888-555-4545 Call answering: Reception User Common Phone Conf Phone Hall Phone Call timeout handling Max wait time 15 seconds Redirect call to Voice app MainCallTimeout (auto attendant) Is there a way to answer calls out of the call queue if any or all of the call agents are unable to answer an incoming call?SolvedNoNotMeMay 14, 2025Iron Contributor6.1KViews0likes7CommentsSigning in gets stuck for my work account
I can sign in and use Teams with my personal account without any issues. However, when I try to sign in with my work account, it gets stuck: The error message: Request Id: 3b2d9150-dc97-4de8-a48c-44dc53b6fa00 Correlation Id: 84d596d1-4451-4f88-999b-6ff8d34b3f72 Timestamp: 2025-05-07T10:42:26Z Message: AADSTS7000112: Application '1fec8e78-bce4-4aaf-ab1b-5451cc387264'(Microsoft Teams) is disabled. I have been trying for about two hours. I checked my work account with Microsoft and saw no problems. Actually, I am using my work account to post this message. Could anyone offer a tip on how to diagnose this?83Views0likes6CommentsWhere do I find the messages I sent through "Share to Outlook from Teams"
On 3/20 I forwarded a chat message to several people using the "Share to Outlook from Teams" feature available in the horizontal ellipse menu for that message. Today I was going through my notes and realized I never received a response from the person the message was directed to so I looked in my Outlook Sent box for the message to follow up on it. It was not there. Even more confusing, there is no indication in Teams that the message was sent. Embarrassingly I had to ask one of the "Cc" recipients to forward it back to me so I could follow up with the "To" person I needed to. This confirms the message did go out. Just to make sure this wasn't a one-time thing my buddy used the "Share to Outlook from Teams" feature on a Teams conversation we had. I received his email, and just like me he had no trace the message was sent. Where do you go to find your messages sent through the "Share to Outlook from Teams" feature?2.6KViews4likes1CommentPersistent Bluetooth Headset Issues in Microsoft Teams
Many users, including myself, have encountered persistent issues using Bluetooth headsets with Microsoft Teams, particularly in the desktop app. Common problems include: Audio Output Problems: Low audio quality or no audio at all. Microphone Issues: The microphone does not function consistently or at all. Connection Drops: Devices disconnect unexpectedly during or after breakout sessions. Specific Trigger Points: These issues are often limited to Teams and do not occur in other applications. Notable Observations: Disabling the "Handsfree Telephony" service on the headset in Windows resolves many of these problems but renders the headset as a simple audio output device, necessitating an external microphone. The issues seem prevalent across various brands (e.g., Jabra, Poly Voyager, Sony, Bose) These issues are frustrating, especially since they are less frequent in other apps like Zoom or on the Teams web app. It seems related to how Teams interacts with Bluetooth profiles (A2DP vs. HFP) and prioritizes them during meetings. Action for the Community: To help Microsoft prioritize this issue, I’ve submitted detailed feedback on the Microsoft Teams Feedback Portal. If you’re experiencing similar problems, I encourage you to upvote and comment on the feedback to bring more visibility to this matter.

I share an office computer with several colleagues and when I turn it on I see the Teams welcome screen with several accounts of those who have used it, including a former colleague who no longer works with us. I want to remove her name, but I don't know how. I have removed her account in the general Windows settings, but her name is still there in Teams and gives me a little trigger every time (she left to avoid mobbing charges...) How can I make Teams forget about her?Solvedtatiana_larinaMay 13, 2025Copper Contributor2.4KViews1like2Comments
