Teams incoming call dialog in background

Hello,

 

We work in Citrix fulltime in fullscreen mode. Teams is installed locally on the computer. 

For the past two weeks we've noticed a change in Teams. In the past the Teams incoming dialog would pop in front of everything. However this is no longer the case.

 

We can hear that there is an incoming call.

When we switch from our full screen Citrix windows to the local desktop we see the Teams Window, but the incoming call dialog is not visible. The only way to answer it is to ALT-TAB.

 

Can we change the behavior to bring back the dialog to the front? Or to make it visible in the task bar?

 

With friendly regards,

    well apparently version 1.4.00.914 (64-Bit) fixes this problem finally. Unfortunately this version isn't distributed through the automated updater. But i provided the link.

    Here is the behavior we are seeing:
    Normally, you get the incoming call pop-up ON TOP of any windows open on your main monitor.
    On a remote session, you will not get a pop-up over the remote session.
    If you collapse the remote session, the incoming call pop-up is on your main screen, but it is NOT ON TOP.  If you have another window covering the lower right hand corner, it will hide the incoming call pop-up. You will have to minimize that window to see the call window underneath.  You could also <alt-tab> to switch to the incoming call.

    Update on this; I raised this with Microsoft and they are pushing out a fix in an update between now and next month.

      Auch mit der neue Teams Version 1.3.00.34662 (64-Bit) gibt es leider das Problem. In der neuen Version kann die Benachrichtigung auf "Windows" umgestellt werden. Leider ändert dies nicht das Verhalten. Laut Microsoft soll es ein Update zu Windows 10 zusätzlich geben. Langsam geht mir das Thema an die Nerven!

        AlexanderWojtchek also ich habe die Option in der neuesten Version auch erst gar nicht:

        Und ja habe die Version geprüft. Das Verhalten geht mir langsam auch richtig auf die nerven. Wenn jemand anruft muss ich immer auf dem Handy schauen wer es ist, damit ich weiß wo ich es annehmen kann.

    I am also having this issue. Started happening a couple of weeks ago.

    Also using Citrix, but Teams pop-up appears behind everything outside of Citrix as well (have to minimize down to desktop to answer call).

     

    I presume this is a bug with the latest Teams update. I hope they will fix this!

    Hi, wir haben gerade das gleiche Problem... Habt Ihr den Fehler finden können? Seitdem wir das Teams Update 1.3.00.28779 installiert haben, funktioniert die Overlay Funktion nicht mehr. Wenn Citrix (VDI, RDP) im Vollbild läuft, sehe ich nur, dass mein Headset blinkt, dass Fenster ist im Hintergrund leider..

    IngeniumGwen This is also happening for one of our clients. All users are affected. They are using RDP. There is not a problem when using other software, e.g. WhatsApp.

     

    I would appreciate a response from Microsoft on this matter.

    IngeniumGwen Ich habe das gleiche Problem wenn ich mit anderen Anwendungen (z.B. Remote Desktop) im Vollbild arbeite. Bis vor kurzem kam der Dialog zum Annehmen des Anrufs noch automatisch in den Vordergrund, was sehr angenehm und hilfreich war.

     

    Viele Grüße,
