More control with Teams chat notifications (Duration, marking as Read)
Currently in Teams it shows you if you have unread chats in your taskbar notification icon (small red bell). But to mark that notification as read you have to open up Teams and then highlight the conversation to mark it as 'Read'. Does anyone know if there is a way, or given thought to building a way, to have more control over the notification pop-up that would allow you to control how long the notification displays when a new chat is received and to also add a button that would allow you to mark the chat as read rather than opening the entire Teams application? I'm not seeing this ability in either the "Teams built-in" or "Windows" notification styles.' Thank you for your consideration! ChrisPrivate Teams visible in Global Address List (GAL) – Seeking clarification on expected behavior
Hello Microsoft 365 Team, We are an ISV that develops a Microsoft Teams-integrated solution used across multiple customer tenants, and we have encountered a privacy and security concern regarding the visibility of private teams in the Global Address List (GAL). Issue Private teams are expected to remain private and undiscoverable. However, we have found that in some tenants, private teams are visible in Outlook and the GAL by default. Microsoft Support initially indicated that private teams should be hidden by default and that a fix was in progress. More recently, Microsoft Support has stated that this behavior is "by design," but we have not been able to find any official documentation confirming this. Seeking Microsoft’s guidance We would greatly appreciate clarification on the following: What is the expected behavior for private teams and GAL visibility? Is there an official Microsoft document that confirms whether private teams should be visible or hidden by default? If private teams should be visible by default, is there a roadmap update that will allow admins to configure this more easily? Has this behavior been reviewed by Microsoft’s Security & Compliance teams as a privacy concern Why this is important As an ISV, we develop solutions that integrate with Microsoft 365 and need to provide accurate guidance to our customers. Some customers have security & compliance requirements that depend on private teams being fully private. Understanding whether this is a recent change, a misconfiguration, or the expected behavior will allow us to implement appropriate solutions for our customers. If this issue has been raised internally, we would appreciate any insights from Microsoft’s product or engineering teams. I am tagging Jeff Teper Alym Rayani and Karuana_Gatimu_MSFT in case they can provide clarification. We appreciate any guidance you can provide on this issue and look forward to your response. Best regards, Anne Hegle Jespersen Founder & COO, ONwork

Hi everyone, I'm using the Microsoft Teams API with the Psi Bot Service to record participants' video feeds. However, I’ve noticed that even when participants have Full HD (1080p) or HD (720p) cameras, the recorded video is significantly lower in resolution, sometimes as low as 240p or 480p. /// <summary> /// Receive video from subscribed participant. /// </summary> /// <param name="sender">The sender.</param> /// <param name="e">The video media received arguments.</param> private void OnVideoMediaReceived(object sender, VideoMediaReceivedEventArgs e) { this.logger.Info($"[VideoMediaReceivedEventArgs(Data=<{e.Buffer.Data.ToString()}>, Length={e.Buffer.Length}, Timestamp={e.Buffer.Timestamp}, Width={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.Width}, Height={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.Height}, ColorFormat={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.VideoColorFormat}, FrameRate={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.FrameRate} MediaSourceId={e.Buffer.MediaSourceId})]"); this.mediaFrameSourceComponent.Received(e.Buffer, e.Buffer.MediaSourceId); e.Buffer.Dispose(); } I’d like to understand: Why is the recording resolution so low? Is there a way to ensure that participants' videos are recorded at their original resolution (e.g., 720p or 1080p) without down scaling or compression? Are there any settings in the API, bot configuration, or Teams policies that control the recording quality? Does this depend on network conditions, Teams recording policies, or another factor? If anyone has experience dealing with this or knows of a workaround to get higher-resolution recordings, I’d appreciate any insights! Thanks in advance.
Display Teams chat message with date stamp rather than relative day
Is there a way to force Teams Chat messages to display the date of a message rather than "yesterday" or "today"? e.g. display "27/08/2024" instead of displaying "yesterday 2:12 pm". (I'm creating this post on 28/08.) We use screenshots of Teams messages in our processes, and having to wait for the actual date to displayed invariably means taking the screenshot is forgotten. Immersive reader always shows the actual date, but not the recipient of the message. No help there.
Teams meeting - to show a shared mailbox name, NOT real members
Hi All, There is a group of several people added to a shared mailbox named "Technical group 5" with the following permissions: Full Access Send as Send on behalf Of course, these people can send messages as the shared mailbox email address and in this case their personal email addresses are hidden for the recipients. QUESTION: Is it possible to hide their personal information when participating in the Microsoft Teams meetings the same way as for exchanging email messages described upper? So, as requested, in a Teams meeting all participants see "Technical group 5" but NOT the real member of this group, currently taking part in this event. ------------------------------------------------- I tried 2 ways: --- Creating a Teams meeting from a shared mailbox like this way - https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/create-a-teams-meeting-from-a-shared-mailbox/491628f5-9895-42e2-96bd-87947f574a74 --- Adding a shared mailbox as a participant of the Microsoft Teams meeting But unfortunately, in both cases I couldn't "hide" the real members of "Technical group 5", all the meeting's participants see the real person, not the requested shared mailbox name ("Technical group 5") Please share your opinion or experience in this area. Thanks !Teams Meeting Room Calendar - Fetch time taking too long
Hi All, Just wondering if there's any way to change the time in which the Teams Room System checks the calendar for updates? We're having a few issues where they send a calendar invite, then go to the meeting room to begin the Teams call only to then notice that they've forgotten to add the Teams link within the invite. They franticly run to their desk, update the invite and send it off. Most times it happens within 3-4 minutes, but we've seen it take as long as 15 minutes in the past. Does anyone have the same problem?Cannot share screen with system audio from AVD when using teams with SlimCore optimizations
Doesn't matter if it is a call or a meeting, "Include sound" toggle does not work, can not be clicked or toggled when attempting to share screen with system audio from within AVD host that is using Teams SlimCore optimization. When teams is showing legacy AVD Media Optimized then this toggle can be toggled on and system audio is shared in a teams calls or meeting. Short of disabling SlimCore optimization all together, is there another setting that needs to be configured or step that we are missing on client or session host? Client device is using Remode Desktop client app and SlimCore optimization is being loaded as well as Microsoft Teams VDI is shown as installed.
