Participant Camera Questions
During trainings, we'd like to be able to require all attendees turn their cameras on, however, their cameras are only visible to the presenter and not other attendees. We run a 2 person training team, so one presents and the other would monitor the participants. We are trying to eliminate as many distractions as possible and this is one way to do that. We had the Premium subscription, but could not require cameras on.kellykellz4Jul 10, 2025Copper Contributor40Views0likes2CommentsAlways Show All Teams + Channels
I am getting an increasing number of befuddled users complaining that they have lost access to Teams and Channels as well as countless efforts to create channels for projects that already exists. I have had to take a lot of time out of my daily workflow to scour "See all your Teams" to find all the teams and channels Microsoft has determined on its own that I don't need to see. I get that some people may want to hide stuff they don't want to see and that would be a fantatic OPTION to have. In fact, Teams is not intelligent enough to hide the Teams people don't want to see so the option to hide or not hide permanantly should be implemented. We require a way to LOCK all Teams and all Channels to be visible. _ Let Teams decide what to hide. _ Always Show / Hide This Team _ Always Show / Hide This Channel _Pin this Team Why is this so hard?Anthony-123Jul 10, 2025Iron Contributor42Views1like1CommentUsers receiving Teams Notifications for other people's meetings
Hello! Has anyone encountered this before - some users are receiving Teams notifications for meetings they are not invited to. So User 1 creates a Teams meeting with User 2. User 3 is receiving Teams notification about this meeting. All 2 users are in the same department so I wonder if this is linked somehow to a group they may all be part of? TIA!RMDUser1Jul 10, 2025Copper Contributor28Views0likes1CommentUnable to Get Link for MS Teams directly, getting SharePoint instead
Hey Everyone! For the past couple of weeks, I have been using the 'Get Link' feature in MS Teams to directly share the link to my peers so that they can directly access the link from Teams without having to go to another external page. But recently, since yesterday as I was checking, I am getting only the option to copy the Sharepoint link (attached). Earlier, I had the option to either copy the link from MS Teams or from Sharepoint. But now, I am only getting the option to copy from Sharepoint. Now, every time someone would try to click on the link, they are getting redirected to a webpage instead of being redirected within Teams. Is there any way this issue can be resolved?Solvedcr2007Jul 09, 2025Copper Contributor49KViews1like39CommentsMindmap in Teams - Please come to the party Microsoft.
We are looking for a Microsoft app for Mind Mapping. Similar to how Whiteboard is a standalone app as well as one that is integrated into Teams. Use Cases: Individual brainstorming for individual work Individuals brainstorming for team work Teams brainstorming for team work I notice that whiteboard continues to add more templates that are useful for team work but the lack of mind mapping function in Whiteboard is is glaring. I have added my vote to user voice for this but with the amount of votes there I doubt this request will make it onto the radar for consideration. I can see there are a number of 3rd party options but we would rather use something by Microsoft that is designed to be integrated and works well. We would even be willing to consider an in-built mind mapping feature anywhere else in M365 e.g. OneNote, Word etc. Has anybody encountered this feature elsewhere in M365 and I have just missed it?

From the Teams list on the left, you can select a channel to Show In [favorites]. From the list of channels in a Team in the center of the app, the option is Move To [favorites]. Why are these different phrases for what appears to be the same action and why are they not just called Pin? As a user, I would never want to move a channel out of a Team. Showing something outside the Team it belongs in is confusing and disconnects the user from the originating location.Anthony-123Jul 08, 2025Iron Contributor9Views0likes0CommentsVerify creator of content on Whiteboard
Hi Can I verify who created what (and when) on Whiteboard? I read that mouse-over should do that but it does not work for me... I am mainly using Whiteboard in TEAMS, but also the stand alone app. Thanks for your ideas, MoritzSolvedHofmannMoritzJul 08, 2025Copper Contributor4.6KViews1like5CommentsHow to revert UNWANTED Change to the Teams UI
Is there a way I can roll back changes to Teams UI with regards to the tabs on the left side? Recently the TEAMS tab was removed and now the TEAMS are grouped underneath the list of users in the CHAT tab and IMHO it sucks. It's like the Office Ribbon fiasco of a decade ago where MS just changes what it wants irrespective of what users want. So how can we undo unwanted damage to the Teams UI so we can return Teams to amore user friendly and desirable layout?edcardenJul 08, 2025Copper Contributor6.2KViews0likes4CommentsTeam not visible in Teams admin centre or from get-Team powershell by owner and global admin.
In my organization we currently have 16 teams. However in teams admin->manage teams I only see 14. Two of them do not show up. All were create a couple years ago and for the most part have been fine. I also think they may have shown up in the past but no long but my memory is not 100% on that. The 2 team with issue I am able to fully use the team but unable to manage them from an admin point of view. I recently as asked to add some member to private channels in these teams. However I am able to do so. I am both owner of the team and my account has global admin role. I have also run powershell get-Team and only list 14 teams with the 2 in question being missing. Under https://portal.office.com/adminportal/home#/groups > "Active teams and groups" I can see all 16 groups however the 2 in teams question don't have the "Teams" icon under "team status". From this groups window if I click "Add Teams" it tries and comes back with "We couldn't create a team for this group. Please try again." All 16 teams show under "Sharepoint admin center">active sites with "Teams" icon showing share point being connected to the team. Is there a way to reconnect these teams back to there groups?
