Where did the refresh button go?
Where is the refresh button on Teams? It seems to have moved a month or so ago, and I can't find it!
Kate_KF It appears that on the Desktop version of Teams the "Expand Tab" and "Reload Tab" have been moved to sub-items under the "Files" command in the header ribbon. I still find the "Reload Tab" in the Menu ribbon on the Web version. Hope this helps
This also applies to tabs for Teams apps.
Expand tab
Unfortunately when in Expand tab mode there is nothing to click to Reload, as the tab itself is hidden.
A user has to:- Collapse (Quit expand mode)
- Click tab - Reload tab
- Click tab - Expand tab, to go back to the Expand tab mode
Often the Expand tab mode is used during presentations/shared screen mode to hide your personal list of teams for the viewer, breaking that mode during a presentation is not something you want.
Pop out tab
Using the Pop out tab for a Teams App will still have the Reload button available.
Reload button still available
- Sieg_Sanders: Thank you pointing that out.
Pernille-Eskebo: This is a silly place to keep the Reload button. A couple of years ago, I could not find a way to refresh without clicking to another channel/site and then coming back (as mentioned above), which was ridiculous.
I was happy when the Reload/Refresh button was added earlier in the pandemic. Hiding it under the Files tab is a regression in usability, especially given how Teams does not auto-refresh like Windows Explorer (mostly) does.
