Log in and chat and share issues
Hi everyone I continue to be frustrated by the complexities of Microsoft and Teams and hope you can give me some clarity on some issues I continue to encounter using these services. 1. Signing i...
1. A Microsoft Account doesn't have a default tenant like you Work and School account, so it asks which tenant you want to access after you authenticate if you are a guest in multiple. This would seem to be the only difference. Next month a new update is coming out that will allow you to log in with both accounts at the same time, then you can switch tenants as will (and have a personal Teams account open in one window with your work account in another).
2. a. There are a few factors that effect the presence of the meeting chat. If you invite someone from a Work or School which have blocked meeting chat then that will also apply to your meetings, their policy wins. Also if you create a meeting in a channel, only channel members can access the chat.
b. There is no 1:1 in meeting chat, but you can start a chat to anyone you would be able to chat to outside a meeting from their profile card in the attendee list.
c. This sounds like you are using a browser rather than desktop client, the desktop will show you a small window with the video of the most recent speaker, and you can click it to bring back the full video window.
d. Wrong, not a Teams function. I know Zoom has this but I don't recall seeing it in any other VC client.
e. Not sure what you mean, if you are using the browser then you'll only see the active speaker (this changes to 4 next month btw). The desktop client will show 9 videos in normal mode or 49 is Large Gallery view.
f. Sounds like you are using a browser again, you can share in the desktop client unless your company has set a policy to prevent it.
