Why someone cannot see/chat after leaving the meeting?
Hi folks, My company has some vendors. I setup the Teams meetings with all of them. They all called in using their company domain emails. After the call ends, one of the vendor always got kicked ...
Credmontgo Hello again, finally I have access to all work related stuff and here's the official info about the roadmap id Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365
A participants access to meeting chat will be dependent on how they were invited to the meeting:
- Who can see the chat for a single meeting?
- People who are invited to the meeting or forwarded the meeting invitation after it is scheduled have access to the chat before, during, and after the meeting (up to the 1000-person limit).
- People who are added to a meeting after it starts using the Invite someone field on the Participants pane (or are provided the meeting join coordinates in another way) will have access to the chat from the time they join to the time the meeting ends. They will not be able to see chat that takes place after the meeting ends.
- Who can see the meeting chat for a recurring meeting series?
- People who are invited to the full series have access to the chat before, during, and after the meeting (up to the 1000-person limit).
- People who are forwarded the invite of a single occurrence of the series or added to a meeting after it starts using the Invite someone field on the Participants pane (or are provided the meeting coordinates in another way) have access to the chat from the time they join to the time that meeting instance ends. They will not be able to see chat that takes place after the meeting ends.
Note: These changes do not impact channel meetings.
- Who can see the chat for a single meeting?
That's not the way the "feature" is working. I have created a recurring Teams meeting (from Outlook) and added external users to it. During the call, they have access to the chat. After the call ends, they loose access. Naturally, they don't have access to the chat before the next call in the series, until the call begins. This is very disruptive. Now, I am having to send separate communications to the external users, where I previously could post meeting minutes, agendas, and other materials in the chat and have confidence everyone on the meeting invitation was able to receive the messages. Now, that's all broken.
We have the same frustrating experience, and it seems that there is no workaround other than the crazy manual waste which wasn't necessary before this feature was introduced. Does anybody know how to report this as a new bug?
- There is nothing worse than finding out a new bug you’ve found in the software is being referred to as a new “feature” by the company that intentionally added it. All that I think we need/want is a toggle somewhere, even at the admin level, that can disable this new behaviour.
