Teams Channels Policy – ThreadedChannelCreation Not Honored
We have noticed a change in behavior with the ThreadedChannelCreation parameter in Teams Channel Policies. Previously, setting ThreadedChannelCreation = Disabled in the Global policy prevented users from creating threaded channels. Since the end of August (coinciding with the rollout of the new threaded channel experience), this control no longer works. Users assigned to the Global policy (with the parameter set to Disabled) can still create and edit threaded channels. Microsoft documentation also flags this parameter as “reserved for internal Microsoft use.” Question: Has Microsoft removed customer ability to control threaded channel creation at the tenant level? If so, is there an alternative or roadmap for reintroducing this control?
Securing Microsoft Teams Best Practice & Cleanup
Working on a Teams environment that is fully wide open. They have seen a huge number of Teams created and are looking to get it under control from here on out and clean up. Wanted some advice on what you recommend doing and if you have the instructions to complete those tasks. My thoughts would be Block Team creation where IT would need to be involved. I believe this could be accomplished by blocking M365 Group creation. Way to expire or archive old Teams with no activity in X amount of time? Also, how are you handling guest invitations or access? Doing anything that allows but might secure things better for the organization. Thanks all.
IVR configuration in Microsoft teams - Configure Busy call message
Hi All, Please share your thoughts. I am currently working on Microsoft Teams IVR configuration for one of our customers. In my setup, I have a main Auto Attendant that transfers calls to either an English-speaking or Arabic-speaking Auto Attendant. Based on the menu selections, calls are then routed to an operator. Additionally, both Auto Attendants are configured with a "Dial by Extension" feature, allowing users to reach specific extensions directly. My question is regarding the busy message configuration. I have noticed that the Auto Attendant transfers a second call to a user's extension even when the user is already on an active call. Is there a configuration available to play a busy message, such as "The user is currently on another call. Please try again later"?
Issue with Link Redirects & Metadata Previews in SharePoint / Microsoft 365
Hi everyone, I’m running into a weird issue with external group/invite links when they’re shared through SharePoint / Microsoft 365. Here’s what happens: I’ve got a page like this: justgroup.link/online-earning-whatsapp-group-links When someone clicks a link from that page, it should redirect them into WhatsApp or another app. But sometimes the redirect doesn’t work smoothly — it either stops halfway or doesn’t open the target app. Also, when the link is shared through SharePoint, the preview (title, description, image) often doesn’t load at all. I’m wondering if this is caused by: How Microsoft 365 / SharePoint handles redirects from non-static pages OG (Open Graph) tags or headers not being read correctly Some kind of security or link-rewriting filter that blocks redirects to external domains Has anyone else run into this? And does anyone know the best way to set up metadata / headers so previews show correctly, or make sure the redirect always works?
Teams Premium Recurring Webinars
Is there a way to set a Teams Webinar as a recurring webinar? We have Teams Premium and our Training Department is running a basics type of webinar 2x/month covering the exact same topic. We want to give people options of which one they want to attend vs. having to create a single webinar for each date. Is this possible?Back button in Teams switches back to previous Teams options instead of previous webpage
I have added a new App to Teams. The app displays our intranet. But when pressing the back button to navigate to the previous intranet page, Teams switches back to the previous Teams module (for example Chat or Calendar). So Teams has back/forward buttons at the top but it looks like it is for the Teams functionalities. Is there an option to navigate back on an embedded website?Copilot Transcription Behavior Changing for Teams Meetings
Microsoft plans to deploy an update to change how transcription behaves for Teams meetings where Copilot is enabled. New meetings will not generate a transcript unless the meeting organizer explicitly enables transcription or the Microsoft 365 tenant deploys custom meeting policies that enable transcription with Copilot. The AI features work even without a transcript. But no transcript means no searchable artifact, and that’s what some want. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/15/transcription-teams-meetings/

Recently, when I connect to my vehicle with Android Auto, Teams will notify me of meetings that already occurred, many times the day before. I don't want to turn off notifications for meetings, because I do want to be notified of a current or future meeting. It is useless for Teams to notify me of meetings from yesterday. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks, Eric
