We are very excited to announce a Microsoft Teams ‘Ask Microsoft Anything’ (AMA) specific to the new Microsoft Teams, now generally available!
The AMA will take place on Thursday, October 26, 2023 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. PT in the comment section below.
An AMA is a live online event similar to an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit. This AMA gives you the opportunity to connect with members of the product engineering team who will be on hand to answer your questions and listen to feedback.

- KariolaCopper ContributorThe new teams for our Mac users has been having constant issues with notifications incoming. The users are not getting any most of the time, and then other times will receive notifications for 100s of alerts all at once. Is this a known issue with Mac New teams users?
- VaheesKBrass ContributorThis used happen for me on Mac using Classic teams as well.

As our notifications are native for non Calling specific scenarios, they are sensitive to Focus mode, if you have configured Focus mode for your working hours then they will be suppressed and displayed in the Notification center. As well the 100s flood of the alerts can be handled from the OS settings (Notification grouping). Let me know if I can help somehow doing any debugging session, feel free to reach out 1:1
- Missy_EvensonBrass ContributorMy presence status in the New Teams is very inconsistent and it doesn't sync with my mobile device all the time. For instance, I can be available and active online and others see my status as 'away' though I'm clearly available and online. When my mobile is set to available, there are many times it will show was unavailable to others when they look at my status online.

I have few questions.
- Today, with new client, we do not have option to set default file opening preferences to Desktop app. Only Browser or TEams is the option. What is the plan to roll out Desktop app option for that?
- Some features are not working in Classic Teams anymore, is that a bug or Microsoft is going to push all users to switch to new Teams by certain deadlines?
- Q&A is not visible after meeting with the new client. In Classic client, we were able to go back to meet chat and see Q&A tab.
- Auto start on login does not work with new Teams client. Does Microsoft know about this or have plan to resolve this?
- Forrest_HSteel ContributorWell, now we have a drop-dead date, and you're switching, whether you like it or not. March 31, 2024 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/MicrosoftTeams/new-teams-automatic-upgrade-announced
- rnlgreenCopper ContributorIs there a list of known issues we can refer to? Seems to be a few...
- WendyEBrass ContributorHere's the link, although reading this AMA board I get the feeling there's a whole lot more! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues
- Jessie_Hwang_MSFT

Hi rnlgreen - Here is the known issues list: https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/new-teams-known-issues.
- rnlgreenCopper ContributorOh, thanks, I'd assumed that was a "new features" list rather than a "these are all things that are broken".
- MadaniOwaisCopper ContributorHow does the default policy works for Teams New. When I assign Teams New as a Default policy to the user from TAC, user still has an option to go back to Classic Teams. Is this a expected behavior. We don't want user to have an option to go back to classic teams when they have New Teams set as default?
- Victor Guzman Lopez
Microsoft
Yes, that's the expected behavior at this time. New Teams as default will still allow the user to go back to Classic Teams. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/new-teams-deploy-using-policies?tabs=teams-admin-center - VaheesKBrass ContributorI believe its an expected behaviour.
- nhawk258Iron ContributorWhen will presence in New Teams work with Outlook?
- VaheesKBrass ContributorWhat do you mean? I can see user's presence in Outlook while using New Teams.
- Karen_TupperBrass ContributorInteresting how this is a Q & A yet there are no replies that look like they are coming from Microsoft support, the only replies are from the general population...not impressed so far considering the event is technically half over
- Michelle_SweeneyBrass Contributorit mentioned "like reddit" so maybe let's keep to objective of ama and keep it positive so Microsoft will reply and keep the forum going, we need answers and community. I like the idea here and sse some replies coming in now 🙂 yeah
- jptech9Brass ContributorWe shouldn't need to keep it positive to answer these hard questions. We all need answers for a product that's practically out the door... in a broken state.
- WendyEBrass ContributorI was just thinking that! Maybe they tuned in and handed their resignations in 🤣
- rmonksCopper Contributor
- umwiebeBrass ContributorUnder Setting > Devices the ability to change settings for an external camera are not available in New Teams. This is a great feature in Classic Teams (I use it zoom in, pan and tilt my video for meetings). Will this come to New Teams?
- Paul FredericksonBrass Contributor
Has the URL limit changed for the website tab? It looks like some tabs that worked in Classic no longer work in New Teams because the URL is too long.
- StuartHoggCopper ContributorWe've had a mixed experience re some users being able to switch then within a matter of weeks some users started to report that they were unable to do so. Our policy settings were set to Microsoft controlled. Had to change to New Teams as default to resolve. Would be great to know why the user experience changed as we made no changes ourselves.
