Is there any foreseen capabilities in Team's channel which could act as a forum ? So, create a Forum channel type would be perfect, and here is why: 1. Within Teams, it is commonly to find use-cases where a community drops some issues, questions and so on, and being able to : - pin discussions/communications - set tags and filter them - Mark as solved (which may help others, and save ans best answer) sort based on people following would be a perfect integrations. looking forward to see the answers.
Native Teams Phone - Background Image
Hello all, Recently Our org. have purchased a few Native Teams Desk phone Poly CCX600 & Conference Trio C60. It appears the default Teams background image, which looks almost blank, after signing in the phone. I followed up the background image document provided by the vendor Poly without luck. Is anyway to modify the background image on these native Teams phones? Your information and support are highly appreciated. Best regards, EZ
Missing activity messages from a user

I have a few users that are using the Lists app in Microsoft Teams to track information and have a multi-line text column with enhanced rich text enabled. When a user enables dark mode in Microsoft Teams and fills out the field, it automatically sets the text color to white instead of changing how black text is presented on the screen. This is causing issues for their teammates because the white text shows on a white background for users with the default color settings in Teams. Are there any workaround recommendations other than: Turn off the enhanced rich text on the column Request that users don't use dark mode in Teams Have the dark mode users interact with the List from a browser that isn't using dark mode Here's a similar post from about a year ago - Microsoft Lists Enhanced Rich Text is not compatible with Teams' - Microsoft CommunityActivity reminder in Shifts tab?

New to Teams and looking to roll this out across the team but want to make sure everything we need is available before doing so. TIA, M
Teams 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).
Reaction's notification in the activity feed
We should not have to go to the activity feed to read the notification of a reaction we read in a conversation in the chat section. It feels like it has to be read twice to remove the notification of that reaction (in the chat section and the activity feed).Manage location sharing in Microsoft Teams
In progress of testing Windows 24H2 and found that the location service is default to "on" and that was default "off" in our earlier windows installation. It seems that Microsoft Teams default to "allow/on" and that causes Microsoft Teams application to launch a pop up to the team users. (see pic") Some information is available here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/manage-location-sharing-in-microsoft-teams-583dd649-87fc-4b23-aed6-f4e2279297f9#id0ebbd=windows But still hard to understand why it seems Teams on OS level default to "Allow/on" anyone seen this and taken any action to prevent Teams to through the pop up to all Teams users. Strange thing is we've installed Teams 3 times on a test machine and first 2 times is was "Allowed" now the 3rd time it's registry value is "prompt". HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CapabilityAccessManager\ConsentStore\location\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe strange a clean installation can differ. Anyone know how ti should work? I've tried to find a way through Teams policy to supress the pop-up but wouldn't find any policy or settings that manage this.Copy time and users name when copy paste conversation.
As far as I can se this was removed due to the fact that some people copy paste code directly into production system where time and usernames caused problems. However in the normal world it not to uncommon to quote, even between organisations or even mail. And then you REALLY REALLY need to have time and user name. This was also what was default until recently, and currently everyone is sending screenshots, something that ofcourse is not a good solution. In order to make everyone happy, make an option in settings to not copy username/time and make it unset as default, those who need it will find it for sure, the rest will get the expected "what you mark is what you copy" behavior.
