New Teams: No notification badges in system tray
SOLVED BY THE FOLLOWING: NEW TEAMS IS NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME. When I activate New Teams, I give up having a notification badge in my system tray. I do get notification badges in the taskbar when Teams is minimized there, but not when it's closed and in the system tray. Notifications are turned on in Teams, but interestingly, the System > Notifications & actions setting has a toggle only for "Microsoft Teams Classic." Is that what's missing? I'm still getting the option to switch between new and old Teams. Not sure if that's a Microsoft thing or an organization thing. Will that right itself once New Teams is the only option?SolvedASFMar 04, 2026Brass Contributor74KViews8likes28CommentsAuto-saving transcription files in a folder?
I'm currently working in a project which requires the usage of meeting transcription files (not recordings!), and I couldn't find a foulder at OneDrive, or Sharepoint that contains the transcription files (.vtt), I know I can manually download it at the meeting recap but manually downloading it would make my project kinda pointless, is there any way that I can configure it to automatically save the transcription file at a folder like it happens with recordings? Thank you!5Views0likes0CommentsTeams auto selecting "Missed Calls"
I have the calls tab selected. On that tab I have "All" selected. I then click the Activity tab. Teams is selecting "Missed" on that tab. Why is it selecting "Missed"? The issue is when I click back to the calls tab Teams then selects the "Missed" on the calls area. Now if I click on "All" on the Activity tab and then click back to the Calls tab everything is fine. Seems like it is auto selecting stuff for me I didn't ask it to do.heimlich1Mar 03, 2026Copper Contributor12Views0likes0CommentsAllow only specific external domains
When External Access is set to “Allow only specific external domains” Scenario 1 If Microsoft Teams External Access is set to “Allow only specific external domains”, and a user from a domain not on the allowed list joins a meeting while signed into their work Teams account, Will they still appear with their actual name and organization, rather than as Anonymous? Is this correct? Scenario 2 If a user from a non-allowed domain joins the meeting link through a browser and selects “Join as guest”, Will they appear under the name they manually enter, instead of showing as Anonymous? Is this correct? Scenario 3 If a user joins without authenticating and meeting policy allows anonymous access, Will they appear as Anonymous only in that situation, and not because of the External Access restriction? Is this correct?AhBAy2335Mar 03, 2026Copper Contributor57Views0likes3CommentsTeams duplicates contacts until it maxed out at 15000
Hi, I have a weird issue with some users, Teams seems to be duplicating old Skype for Business contacts until it maxes out at 15000 contacts. I have been digging into it a bit and found out the location of the folder through Exchange powershell but I can't clear or delete it. Skype for Business is phased out and disabled in my tenant for a long time now so I couldn't do much there, I can't login to it through powershell. We've had Teams since like 2017 so I suspect this is a niche legacy issue popping up recently somehow. Manual deleting is possible through the browser environment but that is such a hassle because it keeps glitching if you delete per 100 and skipping pages and stuff, need to refresh constantly. Just a pain, it would take days. And no guarentee its not coming back either. See screenshots. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this? Thanks for reading, cheers!Tiger8Mar 03, 2026Occasional Reader27Views0likes1CommentBest External Access configuration

Hi everyone, We have recently changed our Microsoft Teams External Access setting from: “Block only specific external domains” to “Allow only specific external domains.” This means only explicitly approved domains are allowed for 1:1 chat, calling, and federation. I would like clarification regarding how this impacts Teams meetings. Scenario: If a user from a domain that is not on the allowed list is invited to a Teams meeting: If they join the meeting while signed into their work/school Teams account, will they still appear with their authenticated name (e.g., Name (External))? Or will they appear as Anonymous because their domain is not permitted under External Access? My understanding is that External Access (federation) controls chat and calling, but meeting identity is governed separately by meeting policies and authentication status. Can someone confirm if this is correct? Thank you in advance for your guidance.AhBAy2335Mar 01, 2026Copper Contributor23Views0likes0CommentsTeams on macOS taking up CPU and lagging
I'm not sure if it's because of Tahoe, but Teams will take up 65-90% of my CPU during calls, while only using 0.1% when not on a call. This has been present in the dev betas, 26.0 and now 26.1. If I have other apps running, they or Teams can sometimes lag or glitch. Even with nothing else running, Teams can slow to a crawl.mattcorkumFeb 28, 2026Copper Contributor322Views2likes1CommentUnable to unmirror camera on Microsoft Teams
Hello, I am currently unable to un-mirror any camera feeds that go in microsoft teams. The button and option is completely missing in the options. See pic below. What is even more baffling is that I did see this option there earlier but now it is missing. I am on a Mac running macOS Big Sur 11.6 and Microsoft teams desktop app is running version 1.6.00.19353. Why is this option missing and how can I bring it back?TheDandyFeb 27, 2026Copper Contributor1.8KViews0likes3Comments
