Where is the Pay-As-You-Go Calling Plan for GCC Tenant License
Currently we are using Direct Routing for calling and want to transition to a PAYG calling plan for GCC license. Unfortunately, direct purchase through Microsoft 365 Admin Center "Microsoft Online Subscription Agreement" (MOSA) billing account is not available; and the license does not appear on our reseller "Microsoft Customer Agreement" (MCA) billing account price list. https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs/documents/download/Modern%20Work%20FAQ_Microsoft%20Teams_July2024.pdf (last updated July 29, 2024), item 103 states pay-as-you-go calling plan is available for GCC. Has anyone successfully purchased a PAYG calling plan for GCC license since the implementation of the new Microsoft billing experience?
Removing Teams from a Specific User Profile via Script in Intune
Hi, Working on a process with using PowerShell to remove Microsoft Teams from a specific user that is not the primary user of that computer on multiple Windows 11 devices using Microsoft Intune. However, I need a script to make this happen. Can I get some help from the community on this? Has anyone else seen this before? Thanks, ZC46
Teams, SharePoint, Viva Engage - which to use for dept comms?
I lead a 300‑person department, and I’m looking for guidance on the best Microsoft tool(s) to improve employee engagement and awareness across our organization. Right now, most of our communication happens in Microsoft Teams (channel posts, group chats), but we have dozens of channels and each group has its own space, which makes it hard to share department‑wide news, cascade annual strategic initiatives, report monthly progress, and celebrate wins or employee recognition. We don’t currently have any SharePoint sites built out, and we’re not using Viva Engage or communities. For those who’ve tackled similar challenges: Which Microsoft tools or combinations have worked best for broad communication, engagement, and consistent messaging across a large department? I’d love to hear what’s been effective for you. Thanks in advance for any insights!Microsoft can accuse you of Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
So there is cloud hosting / storage website out there called 1fichier.com and if you write that in Teams, it's fine, but if you put https:// in front of it, like https://1fichier.com then it will ne censored in Teams and you'll get an e-mail saying: Content associated with your account was detected by Microsoft as violating our terms and policy or code of conduct. The details are as follows: • Service or product used: Microsoft Teams • Policy violated: Reference to Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Content • Actions taken: We have removed the content in violation. This is a pretty serious accusation to throw around like this, considering this is an obvious "false positive".Team and Channels continually disappearing from Teams App
Can anyone advise what else we can try to ensure the list of Teams/Channels a user is part of appears in their Teams app list please? A user is having a recurring problem where Teams are missing from their list. They are still Members/Owners of those Teams. We have continually reset the app, cleared the cache, checked the app version, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the issue resolves for a short period of time and then it comes back again. What are we missing? What can we do to permanently resolve this? Is this a Teams app issue or is it linked to the computer?
[iOS] Custom App Icon still renders as white square
I am following up on a rendering issue where my custom app icon appears as a blank white square on the iOS client. Current Status: Despite following the standard guidelines, the icon fails to render on iOS (Works perfectly on Android/Desktop). What I have tried (and failed): Changed accentColor: Updated manifest from #FFFFFF to #4B6BF5 (Brand Blue) to avoid white-on-white issues. Version Bump: Increased manifest version from 1.0.17 to 1.0.18 to force cache invalidation. Re-installation: Completely uninstalled the app on iOS, cleared app data, and re-added it. Direct Upload via Teams Admin Center: I tried uploading the app package directly through the Admin Center, but the icon still fails to render on iOS. Commercial Marketplace: I have users who installed the app via the Commercial Marketplace, and they are also seeing a blank icon. "Publish to Org" via Developer Portal: I also tried the "Publish to Org" feature within the Developer Center, and the result is the same. Icon Validation: color.png: 192x192, PNG, Transparent background. outline.png: 32x32, PNG, Pure white pixels only with transparent background. Manifest Snippet: { "version": "1.0.18", "manifestVersion": "1.22", "id": "e4fae5da-30ea-4f90-9eae-807b2a13a127", "icons": { "outline": "outline.png", "color": "color.png" }, "accentColor": "#4B6BF5" } Questions & Request for Assistance: Has anyone faced a similar "blank white square" issue on iOS recently? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.How do I record videos on Teams using a personal account?
I only have a personal Teams account (no company subscription) and want to schedule a Teams meeting with a friend so she can teach me Excel pivot table techniques. However, I can't find the "Start Recording" button in the meeting settings. Now, I got that recording is only available for subscribers. If a free account can't record from the cloud or locally, what screen recording solution do you usually use to ensure clear video? And I need to record both system audio and webcam picture-in-picture. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Test call option not showing up in Teams?
Hi I've downloaded a personal version of Teams and need to test it. However, the 'Test call' option is not available? I've tried 2 methods: 1) typing 'Test call' in the search bar and pressing enter - nothing happens when I do this! 2) going to Settings then Devices then checking for the 'Test call' option - but it's not there! I've attached what I can see when I got to Devices and what I should be able to see (from a video I watched online) I'm using Version 1.4.00.22472 (64-bit). Can anyone please advise?Bot configuration config/fetch returns same channel ID when switching channels within same team
Summary When invoking a bot’s configuration flow (configuration.fetchTask) via an @mention-based settings entry point across different channels within the same Team, the request body consistently contains the same channelId, even after switching channels. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/bot-configuration-experience?tabs=teams-bot-sdk1%2Cteams-bot-sdk2%2Cteams-bot-sdk3 This makes it impossible to reliably determine which channel initiated the configuration. Environment Microsoft Teams (desktop client) Bot installed at team scope Same Team, multiple channels Bot supports team scopes. Configuration enabled via manifest: "configuration": { "team": { "fetchTask": true } } Steps to Reproduce Install the bot into a Team with multiple channels Navigate to Channel A Invoke the bot configuration using an @Bot settings / configuration entry point Observe the incoming config/fetch request payload Note the channelId in the request body Switch to Channel B (same Team) Invoke the same configuration entry point again Observe the incoming config/fetch request payload Expected Behavior The config/fetch request body should include a channel identifier corresponding to the channel where the configuration was initiated, e.g.: channelData.channel.id or another channel-scoped identifier that uniquely identifies the initiating channel Actual Behavior The config/fetch request body always contains the same channel ID The channel ID does not change when switching channels The value appears to be: either the Team’s General channel or a cached / team-level channel context As a result, the bot cannot determine which channel the user intended to configure. Impact This behavior prevents implementing per-channel configuration using the bot configuration experience because: Configuration requests cannot be reliably scoped to the initiating channel All configuration actions appear to target the same channel Users configuring different channels in the same Team unintentionally overwrite the same settings Additional Notes This occurs within the same Team Reproduced consistently across multiple channels Observed even when the configuration is invoked after explicitly switching channels Behavior suggests the configuration context may be team-scoped rather than channel-scoped, but this is not clearly documentedTeams Delivers a Slack Migration Tool
Microsoft announced the availability of a Slack to Teams migration tool in the Microsoft 365 admin center. The new tool exists to assist the 79 million monthly active users of Slack who might want to move to Teams and don’t know how to get there. ISVs have been helping people move off Slack to Teams for years, so other migration options exist. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/07/slack-to-teams-migration/What if post adaptive card and wait for a response timeout
Hi Team, Scenario: Post the adaptive card to the team chat. If the user doesn't respond after 2 hours, the adaptive card should be updated as "Expired"with a new design on the same conversation. In an attempt to comply with this, I used a "Post adaptive card in char and wait for response." Challenges: What would happen if I posted an adaptable card and waited for a response timeout? I wouldn't get a response. An error is being thrown. Expectations include waiting for a response after receiving an adapted card. In any case, your card has already produced a message ID and posted. This action should to return a Message Id in the event that a timeout occurs. Would you kindly respond if you have discovered a solution?
Unable to Auto Login on Microsoft Teams Room devices ?
Experts, We recently joined our Microsoft teams rooms device to Azure AD and upgraded OS from Win10 1903 to Win 10 20H2 (automatic updates). We are not pushing any policies on this device either through SCCM or Intune but after Azure AD joined and system upgrade when the device is rebooted it did not auto login with default Skype user account, its getting stuck on login screen and waiting for user to hit enter. This is big issue now as end users need to hit enter manually to get teams rooms app launch. I tried to set AutoLogon registry also (which it was not present earlier) but still no luck AutoAdminLogon = 1 (REG_DWORD) DefaultDomainName = blank (REG_String) DefaultUserName = Skype (REG_String) Has anyone experienced this before ? Please advice. Regards, SurajBidirectional calendar sync with Google - Unexpected Error signing into Workspace as SuperAdmin
We are using the Teams Calendar Synchronization with Google Workspace, and have had it setup since the summer, June 2025. (see this link for details of functionality https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/setup-calendar-syncing-with-google-workspace#set-up-calendar-synchronization) . We have been planning to role this out to users slowly with our initial beta test group was syncronized this past fall and expanded to new users on December 4th 2025. All beta users synchronizations appear to still be working to an extent, with functionality seems being very sporadic. Sometimes an event that is created in Google will sync to Teams in a few mintues, other times it can be several hours. In addition sometimes it will not sync any new events or updates to the Google Calendar, and the only way to get a full sync is if an event is created on the Teams Calendar. So there has been some weird and inconsistent results for us when testing. On December 4th I expanded our beta test group by successfully synchronizing an additional 22 user accounts. But since mid December(12/15 until now) when I attempt to add more beta users I cannot get logged into my Google Workspace within the Admin App on the Teams Client. When signing into the Calendar Sync feature using my Google SA account it fails to make the connection to Google Workspace. Authentication to google is successful when prompted in the browser and I allow the M365 Mail Migration app successfully. But once it kicks back to the teams client it spins for a minute or two and then fails with "Unexpected Error: Please sign into your Google Workspace admin account" error being displayed. If I try to sign in again, I get the same result over and over. Keep in mind this was not the case previously, as I was able to sync additional beta users on 12/4. When viewing the article above, it states "New customer onboarding for calendar syncing between Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams is currently paused. Existing customers with sync set up can continue using the feature without interruption." I would think that since we have had this setup since June 2025, and our inital beta test group are still working to an extent, that this suspension of onboarding clients would not affect us. I wonder if the fact that I have had to Allow the M365 Mail Migration app every time I have ever setup a user to syncronized, makes me wonder if this is impacting us. The functionality is so sporadic and now that I cannot even get logged in successfully, I am not holding my breath that this will ever work. Our organization has been looking forward to using this functionality since information was published on the Roadmap almost two years ago, and I don't want to go to executive management and tell them we have to scrap the idea. That will just make my users hate Teams even more, and all the effort put in to configure our environment will be moot as users will shy away from using the tools we are trying to provide, and just use something else. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
MS Teams Meeting - Get Meeting Participants From Graph API
Hi, I’m looking to retrieve the participants of a meeting using the Microsoft Graph API. Currently, I use the calendarView API to obtain details of the meeting from a user's calendar. However, if a new participant is added during the meeting, I want to be able to see the updated list of attendees. I've tried using the onlineMeetings API with the endpoint onlineMeetings/{meetingId}, but this only provides details of the participants who were part of the scheduled meeting (basically participants present in the meeting in user's calendar). It doesn’t reflect any additions or removals of participants that occur during the call. I also explored the chats API with the endpoint https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/chats/19:meeting_Oxxx1@thread.v2/members, which gives me the current members of the meeting chat, but I need to get the list of participants present in the meeting. Is there another method to get a list of all participants in a meeting? Prasad_Das-MSFT Vaibhav-MSFTSharepoint Migration Tool migrates Data only to standard channel

Cannot print a photo. Printer(s) work fine for documents, but just stalls on the photo preview page - says it connecting to a printer, green line just continuously scrolls, never connects to any of three different printers. One printer "your printer has experienced an unspecified configuration error 0x80010105". Tried standard stuff: unplug printers, checked Windows 11 updates, Printer Troubleshooter, restart computer, checked print spooler . . . and a Quick Assist microsoft tech uninstalled/reinstalled printers with updated drivers. BTW. didn't have this problem prior to update from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Any ideas as to the problem and importantly a solution??
