No devices show for CEO's device in Teams
Vladimir_Tchalkov I found the previous version and downloaded it and installed it on his computer and it works so as long as it doesn't auto-update until the next version Microsoft releases, hopefully he'll be fine.
I have an assumption what might be causing the issue, although I don't know how to solve it (teams updates automatically so I don't think installing old version is a permanent solution).
Our users have display name that includes company name with brackets (i.e. Vladimir Tchalkov (Crossroad)).
When I open the Device tab of Teams the following error shows in error logs and dev console:
0.2-angular-jquery.min-eee9041.js:114 Error: SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /C:\\Users\\VladimirTchalkov(Cro/: Unterminated group
at v (<anonymous>:17:181254)
at Object.get (<anonymous>:17:182711)
at e.getSlimCoreVersion ...This error does not appear in logs with the older version of teams.
It looks like my the path to my profile folder (that includes my display name with the brackets) is being used as a part of a regular expression and the bracket in the display name is causing the problem. Changing display name or recreating profile with different path is not feasible for us.
Jeffrey Allen , can you check if your profile paths have similar symbols (i.e. brackets)?
I don't know if Microsoft is monitoring this forum. Might be a better idea to submit a support incident about this issue.
There is one additional workaround that helps me with this issue - making calls in the web based teams - https://teams.microsoft.com
Vladimir_Tchalkov, yes our CEO does have what we call a title account and his name at the end is in () and so your issue might be related. I asked the support person to pass along the fact that the current version is buggy. No issue with this until the current version and I hope his Teams won't auto update until maybe a fix but I told him no guarantee.
