MacBook Pro TouchBar's not working in meeting with new teams
Hello, I have a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. With old version of Teams, Touch Bar work in meeting but when I install a new version of teams (business) my Touch Bar not work. I have clear the cache, delete and reinstall Can you help me with a problem? Thank you1:1 meeting notes keep getting lost. I need a better system
So we have about 40 managers who are supposed to do weekly 1:1s with their reports. Most of them take notes in random OneNote notebooks and Ive even seen some use Teams chat as some pseudo-notebook. Is there anything that lets people take notes inside the actual Teams meeting and keeps those notes attached to that meeting in Teams?
Teams users cannot sign in if using personal account
Anyone have any luck with this? Know of a work around? Anything know if this is a known issue and if a fix is on the way? Once again Microsoft Support has lived up to my expectations so I'm reaching out here. Create a meeting invite link and share with a bunch of people. When clicking on the link the user is presented with options to download Teams, use the web or open with the Teams App. This applies to the Teams App link. Users with business accounts, and users who join as guest work without issue. On the join meeting window there's a link to sign in for a better experience. Clicking this link show a signing in page either indefinitely or for a while and reverts back to the join meeting window. It appears that signing in to a Teams meeting with a personal account (Outlook.com, Gmail) simply is not supported. If this is the case I would expect a message to say this but I suspect this is a bug in Teams.
Still Cannot Bulk Add People or Groups in Team/Channel in 2026
It's 2026, still same issue. As a regular user/leader of a large team (hundreds of people), we still cannot bulk add people in Team/Channel. It's frustrating to add one people at a time. This has been brought up in 2020, 6 years after, same issue. teams and bulk adding of members | Microsoft Community Hub No real resolution.
Teams on RDS - Issue with Meeting Plugin
I've installed Teams on Server 2022 RDS and have so far envcountered an issue with the Teams Meeting addon for Outlook.

Is Microsoft Teams a good Intranet?
Our company is fully on Microsoft 365, but employees still struggle to find basic information like policies, company updates, forms, department resources, and important links. Most of it is scattered across SharePoint sites, Teams channels, emails, and random folders. I want to turn Microsoft Teams into that hub where all of this lives, kind of like an intranet. Any suggestions?
Teams Webinar without a registration form - unable to see who has accepted or not.
We have a webinar where we wanted to invite contacts and not have them register. We set this up as a Teams Webinar, then added the invite list as attendees. This did two things which doesnt seem right: Each attendees was sent an email with all the other attendees listed in the to box - they can see who was invited. This is a GDPR risk and there is no option to turn this off. If the person accepts or declines, this data doesn't go back into the the list, they're all listed as 'No Response' If we do this again, we'll set up the webinar and send the invites from Outlook, but the two things about feel like bugs.
Allow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.
"None" option missing from Teams background options
Hi, Our teams "none" background option is missing. Forcing users to use a background or the blur backgrounds. I have tried to revert back to classic teams to see if that is a fix, but I am unable to toggle it off and it takes me to download the classic teams which is just the new teams download. I do see this message "Your org sets background to blur unless something else is selected" when trying to update the background in a call. We are not disabling this option as an organization. And I can switch to other backgrounds.
How are you handling performance review data across Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint?
We just wrapped up our mid-year review cycle and it was a mess. Managers had to go through old Teams chat messages to find feedback they gave or go through our sharepoint documents to see where everyones goals were. You think there is a way I can use copilot inside Microsoft Teams to somehow parse through all of this before reviews? I saw this app performance 365 or something like that in the app store but I dont think its an official Microsoft app. Any ideas?Teams missing GIF option in messaging

First of all, I have TEAMS on my old computer. However, I bought a new computer, and I am unable to gain access to the TEAMS file on my new computer. I gain access to TEAMS, it asks me to sign in again. But the sign-up page does not open. It ends there. I have read the instructions and have spent over an hour trying everything without success. It shouldn't be so difficult.How do we export and import Teams Chat Contacts ?
In the teams app under chat we have created a list of contacts. How do we export and import these Teams Chat Contacts? Note, we have three Microsoft 365 accounts, so we would like these contacts to be sync'd or at manually sync'd ( eg via export and import). Thank you
Microsoft Teams File Permissions: Why Can't I Remove Direct Access?
While working with files stored in Microsoft Teams, I recently encountered an issue related to file permissions that may affect other users as well. A file was uploaded to a Microsoft Teams channel, which means it is physically stored in the SharePoint document library connected to the Team. At some point, direct access permissions were granted to an individual user using the Manage Access feature. Later, when attempting to remove this direct permission, the option was no longer available. What Happened? The file's permission overview shows that the user has Direct Access (View Only) permissions. However, when opening the permission details, SharePoint displays the following message: "Grant access is unavailable because you are not the owner of this item." Although the file was originally uploaded by the user attempting to manage permissions, SharePoint does not recognize that user as the owner of the item for permission management purposes. As a result: The granted permission remains visible. Permission levels (View, Edit, Block Download) can be selected. The Remove Access option is missing. Changes cannot be applied because the user is not considered the owner.
Teams is unable to access your calendar
I started the below error on a lot of computers today. My co-worker did not get the error UNTIL he updated to the same version of Teams as me You have Microsoft Teams version 25072.1609.3541.7814. You've got the latest version. It was last checked on 4/7/2025. The issue is with multiple windows 11 users and their local teams installation. Brand new issue and trust me I'm the admin there were no changes by me. (in Exchange or Teams) I've run the Exchange connectivity test (ok) The MS remote connectivity test fails with this error Make sure user has Exchange Web Services EWS and REST API protocols enabled. The Microsoft 365 Teams Calendar App diagnostics referenced in the link requires a Microsoft 365 admin account to be executed This worked Friday, it does this today. What changed?
