Would Microsoft Teams SDK for Python (Preview) affect marketplace submission
Hi, I need to know if it's possible to publish a custom teams app and get validated to have the app in marketplace for public if it's developed using Teams SDK with python which is mentioned as still in preview. Teams SDK is now generally available for JavaScript and C#, supports Python in developer preview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/resources/dev-preview/developer-preview-intro?tabs=new-teams-client https://github.com/microsoft/teams.py Thank you!
Customize the Basic Approval Request
Is there any way that I can customize the Basic Approval Request in Teams? For example, at the top, it states Approvals. Can this be changed to state Acknowledgement instead? Is there anything else that can be customized just by using the MS Teams Basic Approval template?Delayed emails when registering for a Webinar
We are seeing delays with receiving the emails with the meeting link after registering for a Webinar. It is taking around 7 minutes for the email to appear. This is the case with various email domains. Also, Gmail users are consistently receiving the email in their spam folder.
When I install my app to a second channel in Teams, the this.onMessage will nto trigger
I have a bot which when installed to a channel will read messages using this.onMessage, if I add another channel to the same team it will also read the messages without installing the bot on that channel. However if a user installs the bot again, to the second channel which some users do, the second channel will not trigger the onMessage listener except when using the @botname command. I cant log errors anything because it just wont trigger. I feel like the context gets screwed up, all the other listeners fire on other channel Any help please?
Does editing a chat group name affect all participants?
I have a number of chats open with various combinations of team members. Since Teams insists on using full names and not "goes by" names, I've edited the chat names for myself to make it easier to locate the appropriate chat on the fly. For example, a co-worker named Albert J. Swingleton goes by Jack, so I changed the name of the chat with Jack and Jill to "Jack & Jill" instead of the default "Albert and Jillian". This is great for me, but if it changed the way that the chat is named for Jack and Jill too, that's a major issue, because now they can't tell by looking at it that I'm a participant.
Teams Voice Migration Checklist for IT Leaders

Teams 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!Group email addresses for Teams sometimes contain “+” or “/” characters
We are using Microsoft Teams in our organization. When creating multiple Teams with exactly the same team name, using ASCII alphanumeric characters only, we occasionally see that the automatically generated group email address contains unexpected characters such as “+” or “/”. I would like to know whether this behavior is expected or if it is specific to our environment. This issue seems to have been occurring since around August 2025. We manually create Teams using the Windows Teams client. For example, if we create several Teams with a simple name such as “example2026”, the corresponding group email addresses are generated in the following format: email address removed for privacy reasons However, in some cases, the XXXXXX portion includes characters like “+” or “/”. When creating around 50 Teams, this issue appears in a few of them. This causes two problems for us: A “+” character interferes with plus-addressing behavior. When a “/” is included, we cannot create events inside the Team. Has anyone else encountered this issue or knows why this happens? Any insights would be appreciated.
Auto-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!

Teams 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.Allow 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?Best External Access configuration
I’m looking for guidance on the best Microsoft Teams configuration for the following goal: Objective Prevent random external domains from: Looking up users in Teams Sending 1:1 chats Making direct audio/video calls At the same time: External users invited to Teams meetings should not appear as AnonymousExternal Accessbto “Allow only specific domains” How does this affect meeting participant identity?
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.Teams 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.
Unable 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?
Why is my conversation view left aligned for me and the person I'm talking to
Note - My question is NOT about the Compact view for the left side list of Team conversations. My question is for the conversation area itself. Why is my conversation fully left aligned versus split between my comments on the right and replies on the left? What it is NOW: What is WAS and what I want back. Just an fyi, my screenshot is from someone else, I had to use their screenshot to get the example. Either way, my comments since I'm making them should be right aligned:Introducing a new feature on Microsoft Teams: "Save this message"
Exciting news - alongside pinning your posts/messages, you can now save them too. All your saved messages will be neatly organized under the "Saved" menu within Teams, right below the "Followed Thread" section. Look out for a special icon marking your saved messages for easy reference. And the best part? You have the flexibility to unsave messages whenever you wish. Stay organized and never lose track of important information with this handy
