ANOTHER IMPORTANT UPDATE: MindeaLLC, we have discovered that the issue only occurs for "Guest" users in Teams. Users that are native to the Azure tenant do not see this issue.

Since I have both a native and a guest account on Teams, I was able to test this issue, as shown below.

I have a ticket open with Microsoft on this. I'm not being too pushy on the ticket but I'm not letting the ticket die either. They already tried to pull the ole "this is expected behavior" on me and I didn't accept that as a resolution.

MS has told me its an "issue with design" and it will be fixed in a future update. When I asked if I could be contacted when the update is pushed out the tech assigned to my ticket said "well no, because it could be 3 months, 6 months, 1 year".

So good job Microsoft on breaking something that was working perfectly fine and then having no idea how to fix it. Of course I'm doubting if the Teams team is even working on this.

This kind of thing sort of makes me giggle. I develop apps for clients, and since I work alone I think it's understandable if something I create has a bug. What kills me is when organizations with hundreds or thousands of developers break simple features. It's always good to have a talented team for creating excuses.
