Teams shared or private channels email address removed for privacy reasons automatically generated emails
In Microsoft Teams, if one creates a Shared or Private channel and then adds a Meeting in it, the invites are sent from a new account, that looks like a email address removed for privacy reasons (e.g. email address removed for privacy reasons) These senders are not mail users and cannot be listed in any way (neither on the UI or programmatically). This has been the official Microsoft Premier Support reply. So, for any organization that wishes to have a full list of valid email addresses, these are all invisible to Powershell or Graph. For any organization that has a 3rd party mail protection system, these unknown internal addresses are blocked, so we cannot use them.KanakarisAFeb 13, 2025Brass Contributor30Views0likes5CommentsOn Microsoft Teams, some people can't hear me
When I use Microsoft Teams for a virtual meeting, specific users tell me that they have trouble hearing me, but not the other participants in the same virtual meeting. The interesting thing is that we all use the same HP Z book Firefly, with Windows 11 Enterprise and centrally-managed updates, so each of us should essentially have identical software, firmware, and OS. Telling the other users to fiddle with their settings so that they can hear me better isn't really an option. So far, I just move closer to the mic and speak louder; is there another solution I'm not thinking of? Thanks!philseoFeb 13, 2025Occasional Reader4Views0likes0CommentsIs 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.williamsousaFeb 13, 2025Brass Contributor42KViews18likes46CommentsIssue arising since most recent update
Hi all, Since we updated to 25007.607.3371.8436 we seem to be getting issues with our reception team consult and transferring through to call queues. The use the Team native app to transfer and when the person answers the consult you'll hear them speak for a moment then it will put the call on hold, which they'll need to resume to continue. Wondering if anyone else is having these issues? They have a Yealink MP50 as their device Handset/headset.. and whilst we have put it down to hardware so far swapping out these devices in favour of a standard Teams approved headset hasn't resolved the issue. Firmware etc are all up to date... we see no issues on the gateways and no unusual behavior anywhere.JohnMeekeFeb 13, 2025Occasional Reader27Views0likes0CommentsTeams Apps (MS apps) use First Name instead of Display Name
Some apps in Teams use an accounts First Name value instead of their Display Name value. We've also found that Microsoft Forms does this, too (but that's for another discussion). For example, the Games for Work app in Teams is a Microsoft Corp app and it uses the First Name value. Here is the issue a user brought to us: What if this is a member of the LGBTQ2+ community and using the First Name value makes them feel "outed"? Is there a way for us to force the apps (the Microsoft apps in particular) to use Display Name (as this is what we want everyone to see) instead of First Name? I know the first solution is to change it in AD, but we can't do that because our First Name and Last Name values in AD are synced from Oracle (HR system) where we must use birth / legal name. I have let the user know that in order to change First/Last Name values, they'd have to provide legal paperwork to HR about an actual name change. But does Microsoft have a way of forcing/requesting/defaulting Teams apps to use Display Name instead of First Name? For example, say we have a user whose Display Name is Taylor Smith and their First Name value is Timothy, Last Name value is Smith. In the Games for Work app, it uses Timothy (First Name).chagedorn49Feb 13, 2025Copper Contributor12KViews1like5CommentsTeams Certified Wireless Phone
Hi Team, We are looking for wireless phones to use with Microsoft Teams and we have been wondering if there is any brand/model that is Teams Certified and not requiring base station. We basically need phones to connected to wireless APs, without having any extra hardware. Thanks.SolvedMrSilver91Feb 12, 2025Copper Contributor2.1KViews0likes4CommentsTeams call and share from two different devices

I am working on building training material that can be distributed and completion tracked for our team, but it appears that the videos are no longer in a downloadable format since the audio is no longer embedded in the video. Does anyone know how to obtain these videos in a downloadable form? example: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/search-and-filter-people-and-files- *rest of URL not allowed*SwatbossFeb 12, 2025Copper Contributor13Views0likes0CommentsTeams to Begin Automatically Hiding Inactive Channels
From mid-July 2024, Teams will begin hiding inactive channels for users. The inactive channels can be unhidden, and users can opt out of the automatic process. The new clean up routine can be invoked whenever users want and if a mistake is made, it’s easy to unhide a channel. Given the number of channels in use, it’s likely that a few in everyone’s channel list are inactive and deserve to be hidden. https://office365itpros.com/2024/07/03/teams-inactive-channels/18KViews0likes25CommentsTeams Panels - check-in issues
Hey, anyone experience issues with Teams Panels check-in feature? We have seen that the "Check-In" button on the panel is there but suddenly is dissapears. When that happens the rooms is not released and the email "Booking declined: No one checked in, so the room was automatically removed from your meeting to make it available for others." is never sent to the organizer.Markus_JohanssonFeb 12, 2025Steel Contributor1.1KViews1like12Comments
