Can't add a tab in teams channel. Can not see "+" icon to add a tab.
Hello, I can't add a tab in any teams channel. It started today and I can't see "+" icon to add a tab. I've tried to open Teams in browser and same issue occurred. Also I tried to find any Teams configuration to fix it, but I couldn't find. Anyone knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance. Raquel
Is there a way to create custom Chat sections other than Pinned and Recent?
Under Chat you can pin a particular chat and it will show under a "Pinned" section that can be collapsed / expanded, besides the "Recent" section that is always there.As you start pinning more conversations the Pinned section can get more cluttered. Is there a way to create custom sections? For example to group people from TeamA so I can find their contacts easily instead of having to search for them. Note that I don't want to send a message to multiple people at once, the idea is to be able to quickly find the contacts that are available from a given group. This feature is available on Slack (custom sections) and it was really useful to me, before I moved to my current employer which uses Teams instead.
Latest Version of Teams not installing on Server 2019
Is anyone else able to install 24335.208.3315.1951 or higher on Windows Server 2019? We use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management command but since this version it fails to install with "Error: 15606. Package could not be registered." Versions 24295.605.3225.8804 and below install without error. Very strange.How to create an RSS Status Pages Command Center in Microsoft Teams
Most of us have different ways to stay updated and on top of things when it comes to status feeds from various service providers (Okta, Atlassian, Amazon, Miro, etc...). Some of us use email notifications and other text messages.I am about to illustrate the ability to centralize, govern and deliver quickly an operation center linked to all those incident management feeds within your organization. So if you like the idea, stay tuned, grab a good cup of coffee, and follow the guide below. 1 - Create a Microsoft Teams and name it "Status Pages RSS". 2 - Create as many product channels as long as they have RSS feeds. 3 - Pick one of the channels you just created (it could be Bitly or Amazon, for instance). 4 - Right-click on the selected channel and click on "Connectors". 5 - We will use the "RSS" connector, so click on "Configure" to land on the following screen. 6 - You will need to name your connector, add the RSS feed and choose a refresh frequency. I will use some dummy examples for you to see and usually go for the lowest frequency. Name: Bitly Address of the RSS feed:https://status.bitly.com/history.rss Frequency: every 15 minutes. 7 - Once saved, your connector will probably pull some of the latest recent updates published by this company. You will realize that it requires an action we will document below. 8 - As you just most probably experienced a couple of notifications, we will make sure that in the future, this does not happen anymore for this new hub internally to get adopted. We will turn off the notifications on all channels to reduce the noise and avoid spamming half of your team. The last thing you want here is people leaving this new team on the first day because it keeps ringing. 9 - You are all set and should have constructed something like this. Please keep in mind that this article is only a proposal, and you might have found other ways to do this that I am very curious to discover. So please, feel free to comment and join the discussion below.ThanksHow to Post Video Clips in Teams Channel Posts and Replies
Later in January 2025, Teams will give users the ability to post video clips to channel conversations in posts and replies. The feature is similar to that released for Teams chat in September 2022. It’s also similar to the ability to include a video clip in Outlook messages. Given the popularity of video clips in other apps, it’s likely that this feature will be popular with users. https://office365itpros.com/2025/01/13/video-clip-teams-channel/
Integration of SharePoint/Lists, To Do/Planner, and Forms with Power Automate
Background: I'm an attorney with two legal assistants. I've found Teams is a great way to work with my assistants when I'm in court, etc. to get things done. But I want to take it to the "next level" because there are still a lot of gaps between what we are doing on Teams (tasks, approvals, communicating) and what we still do outside of Teams. Essentially, I want to bring a lot of those things outside of Teams into it so that we work smarter and not harder. Although I'm tech savvy, I'm by no means an expert or developer. Overview: Ultimately, I'd like to integrate SharePoint/Lists, To Do/Planner and Forms. My thought is that I could have one of my assistants do data entry through Forms (create/update) and then use Power Automate to create/update SharePoint/Lists and also create/update To Do/Planner tasks. I'd also like to keep a "Master Lists" in one Team where the Forms reside, and then present that information into different Teams by service so that I have one Team for one type of service, and another for a different type of service. "Master Lists" itself will have Lookup columns to relate data (client contact information, client matters, client tasks, etc.). After a lot of research, I find I can create Forms, create/update SharePoint/Lists based on Form entries and create/update To Do/Planner using Power Automate. One of the issues I'm encountering is taking that information and putting it into different Teams in a way that filters the services (so that Service A is in Team A, and Service B is in Team B, etc.). One of the reasons I want to have separate Teams for different services and not perform this in the "Master Lists" (which is in it's own Team) is because my assistants work on different services; additionally, I am relying on one assistant to do the main data entry of creating a client and populating information (the "Master Lists"), while the other one is just completing assigned tasks and updating information accordingly. I'm wondering whether I am on the right track for what I wish to accomplish. I'd like to be able to show client information in different Teams filtered on the service type so that I can keep things somewhat separate, and it'd be great that either of my assistants could update in those Teams accordingly rather than going back to the "Master Lists" I have. I don't want to keep creating new lists in each Team per my requirements if I can avoid it. Any advice or links to resources is greatly appreciated.The New Chat and Channels Experience
Since its inception, the Teams user interface has emphasize teams and channels for collaboration. But that's not how people work, and the new chat and channels experience emphasizes chats a lot more. This doesn't mean that channels are going away. They remain the foundation of teams and the right way to communicate and share information for ongoing use, but the change to highlight chats might take some getting used to. https://practical365.com/new-teams-chat-and-channel-ui/MS Teams behaviour after enabling Multi tenant organization ( MTO) feature
Hi All, So, I've been playing around with the MTO feature in my test tenant and I'm having tough time in getting the expected behaviour in MS Teams and hence this question. As documented by MS, I have setup the MTO and I'm able to see the shared users as a members on the other tenants and I'm also able to do the people search as expected and it does show the contact card with limited attributes.So, this is all fine. Now, when it comes to MS Teams, am I supposed to enable B2B direct connect on all the tenants by going to the External identities section in the Entra ID page or is that not needed and just having MTO setup with users shared will allow to have seamless 1:1 chat, channel conversations and document collaboration ? This is not clear to me and I'm not finding any proper documentation on this. So, this is what I did and none of them gave me the expected result... 1. I just enabled the MTO and shared the users across tenants (without enabling B2B direct connect on Entra ID) and tried to have a chat conversation and tried other MS Teams functionalities and it didn't work. 2. I did set up the B2B direct connect which in return enabled the shared channels feature in MS Teams and still I'm not able to have any chat or other functionalities with these users in MS Teams. So, my question here is, 1. Am I supposed to enable B2B direct connect to get the expected behaviour in MS Teams or is that not needed and I should be able to get things working just with the MTO setup? 2. What's the expected license all the users in my tenant should have to make use of the MTO feature?Teams pulls up main window after switching application windows during a meeting
I hope I can explain this properly, please let me know if it isn't clear. OS: macOS Sonoma Teams version: 24277.3502.3161.3007 When I am in a Teams call, I will often need to temporarily switch windows to Chrome or another application. When I tab back to the Teams call, the Main Teams window will pop up on top of the call, which requires me to minimize it in order to view the call window. I haven't been able to find a setting that addresses this specifically. Simplified steps: Join a Teams call from the the primary Teams window or Outlook calendar Switch applications to something else - Slack, Chrome, etc. Click the Teams icon in the dock The Teams call will take focus The Teams main window automatically pops up overlays the call, hiding it Thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if there is anything I can clarify.
