Was working last week when I redirected one of our Webex users complaining about this issue.

      Adding a reply from Microsoft:

      "Actually, UserVoice is still in effect until later this year for Teams - the past few days we've experienced an administrative glitch and we are working hard to get it reinstated. When we are ready to move to a new tool, everyone will get plenty of notice. In the meantime, we ask for your patience while we work out this temporary issue. Thank you."
