How to add a Teams Media Bot in an online meeting.
I am currently developing a Teams Media Bot designed to join Microsoft Teams meetings, record sessions, and perform subsequent analysis. The bot is intended to participate as a visible attendee in meetings. Below is an overview of the development environment and the key issues encountered: Current Implementation: Graph API with Application Permissions: The bot joins meetings as an application. Azure Bot Service: Facilitates communication between the bot and Microsoft Teams. Deployment: Hosted on an Azure VM. Note: No resource account is currently associated with the bot. Issue #1: Delayed Join Scenario The bot successfully joins and appears as a participant when it initiates the meeting and other participants join afterward. However, if participants are already present and the bot attempts to join later, the logs indicate successful entry, but the bot does not appear in the participant roster, nor does it begin recording. Interestingly, the bot becomes visible only after all other participants leave the meeting. The root cause of this behavior remains unclear. Issue #2: External User Access Constraints When the bot is active in a meeting and the lobby bypass setting is not configured to "Everyone," external users encounter difficulties joining. Although they receive meeting invitations and can initiate a join attempt, they are redirected to a new meeting instance instead of entering the ongoing session. This issue resolves once all participants leave the meeting, allowing external users to join successfully. Attempted Resolution: I explored creating a resource account and assigning the bot’s application ID to that account. However, I encountered authentication challenges when attempting to authorize the bot on behalf of the user account. Request for Guidance: I would appreciate any insights or recommendations to address these issues, particularly regarding the bot’s delayed visibility and the constraints affecting external user access.
The Teams Developer Portal needs administrative views
The Teams Developer portal needs some way for Teams service admins or Global admins to view everything that is being deployed to the catalog both in a published and unpublished state. Alternatively, develop some graph endpoints that could be turned into cmdlets in Microsoft Teams PowerShell module or the Graph PowerShell SDK module. As administrators we need the ability to help with keeping our tenant clean, so these kinds of views or endpoints would allow us to make sure that anything uploaded and not needed may be removed or reassigned if the underlying owner leaves and someone else needs to take over something they've been developing. I've submitted a feedback item to the portal - so please help by adding a vote to the entry to bring it up as an enhancement for the Teams Developer Portal services. The Teams Developer Portal needs administrative views or PowerShell/Graph capabilities to manage uploaded solutions and other artifacts · Community
Affordable Conference Room Setups for Small Businesses Using Microsoft Teams Resource Accounts
Our small business (around 40 users) recently migrated from Google to Microsoft 365, and we’re facing several challenges in optimizing our meeting rooms for Teams without incurring large costs. Here’s our current setup and the main issues we are encountering—hoping for advice or creative solutions from the community. Current Setup All computers are domain-joined. We created resource accounts for each of our three meeting rooms; these appear correctly as Rooms in Outlook and Teams booking menus. Each meeting room contains a standard desktop PC (not MTR-certified) running Windows, logged into Teams as the room’s resource account. Employees use the meeting room computer to join calls and manage the meeting calendar. Current Issues Wireless Presenting (Casting): Teams’ wireless casting feature appears to require MTR-certified hardware, which is financially out of reach for a business our size. Unplugging and plugging HDMI cables is cumbersome and error-prone, especially since not everyone uses a laptop, and reconnecting the room PC is often forgotten. Agenda & Calendar Privacy: When meetings are booked, the full Teams agenda and chat history remain accessible on the meeting room machine. That means anyone in the room can view past meetings/agendas, which isn’t ideal from a privacy perspective. Screen Sharing and File Security: To present from the meeting room PC, any files must be accessible by the resource account, creating additional security concerns and sharing/permission headaches. What We’re Looking For Affordable wireless presenting options for meeting rooms—ideally something that integrates smoothly with Microsoft Teams, but without requiring full MTR hardware. Best practices to lock down or reset the meeting room PC so meeting agendas, chats, and files are not visible after a session. Secure ways to allow guests to present (screen share, share files, etc.) without exposing company data or making users jump through complicated permission processes. If anyone has experience setting up small, cost-effective Teams Rooms, especially with regular PCs rather than dedicated MTR devices, advice would be greatly appreciated! Specific steps, hardware/software recommendations, or management tips would all be helpful. Thanks in advance for any guidance!Unable to get custom Teams app supported in shared channel

Monitoring of SBC
Hello Hope you have great time. Microsoft provides Power BI's QER PS v1.0.pbit QER v5.0.pbit These are good Power BI's that help monitor health of SBC's. Which metric within would you use to monitor the SBC. If one SBC is down and the configuration on Power BI Service is to alarm you than how can you avoid to get the repeated alarm of the same incident. Is it also possible to monitor there the expiration of certificates Regards JFM_12
About file download path in between Desktop and Web Teams in Mac
Dear Sir Recently, when downloading a file on Teams app, I found there is a difference between Desktop Teams app and Web Teams app in Mac case. Until a few days ago, the downloaded file is saved in the "Downloads" folder for both Teams apps (Desktop/Web). Today, in Mac (M4), when I download a file on Teams Tab app, the file is saved in "~/Library/Containers/Microsoft Teams/Data/Downloads", not "Downloads" that we all know. Is there any settings for Desktop Teams app? This can be confusing for our customers. However, on the same Mac, Web Teams still uses the Mac's default "Downloads" folder. In Windows PC, both Teams app(Desktop/Web) uses the same "Downloads" folder. Can you advise me about this? Many thanks BHCreating virtual Azure environment for teams toolkit VS code for teams toolkit.
Hi everyone, I am working on a project to create a teams bot app for my institute. I am using Teams Toolkit for VS code, and I have MS 365 app upload permission allocated. I was trying to create " https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/tree/main/samples/bot-conversation-sso-quickstart/js" using Teams Toolkit. However, after debugging the app with option of 'Debug in Edge' or 'Debug in Chrome' I faced issue with devtunnel, that the devtunnel is unable to create tunnel service use 'Test Tool' Instead. I communicated same issue with my team and came to know that firewall is blocking any tunneling service in our tenant. Then, my IT Admin suggested to create a Shared Virtualized Environment in Azure in which I should develop and deploy app for testing and production. Now I am quite confused about how to do this, because teams toolkit for VS code is installed on VS code of my local device and it's debugging will happen locally, how I should create Shared Virtualized Environment in Azure for creating, debugging and deploying Teams Bot App. Your answers are highly appreciated, this is very important project for my institute.Question about file download on MS Teams app
Dear Sir I'm developing Tab app for MS Teams application. We need a file download feature on the Tab app, which is executed by Web hosting. The thing is that it takes around one minute to download the file. Therefore, for customer notice, I want to know about if the file download is completed or not. Is there a API related to this feature? Many thanks BH
