Hi Orz31 

 

Yes for some version of the Microsoft Teams Application the Feature was disabled. We have a New Version of Microsoft Teams Application which was released which has the feature back. Can you check if you have the latest version of the Microsoft Teams Application and see if you are still missing the feature option.

 

With Regards

    Thank you for the response. When in the app it indicates the following version:  'You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.4461 (64-bit). It was last updated on 3/24/20.'

     

    I am unsure what the Teams Machine-Wide Installer is in the uninstall or change a program portion of control panel but there are 2 of those with the following versions:  1.2.0.32462 and 1.1.0.31860

     

    Regarding your suggestion, when I use the Teams app and 'check for updates' it responds that I am on the most current version.

     

    When I do a web search for Microsoft Teams Version history or release history, it seems Microsoft may not publish this information.  Being as such, how do I know what version we should or could be on? 

     

    Thanks,
