"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 much should Teams presence influence call routing
One thing I've noticed recently is that many Teams Phone environments still treat presence as a destination state rather than a routing input. A typical flow might look like: Caller selects an option Call is transferred User is unavailable Caller ends up in voicemail or another queue Technically the routing worked. From the caller's perspective, it often didn't. I'm curious how others are approaching this. Are you using Teams presence as part of your call-routing logic? For example: Available → transfer immediately Busy → offer an alternative path In a meeting → capture context Offline → route elsewhere Or are traditional queues and escalation paths still sufficient for most scenarios? Interested to hear what people are doing in real deployments.
Is anyone building individual development plans inside Teams?
So hear me out. I discovered that if something is in a live document, sharepoint, etc, I've found that employees dont really check up on it or follow through with it unless they are regularly reminded. Same goes for any software we try to implement that requires a seperate login and lives in another app completely. Our employees spend most of their time communicating in Teams so I want to take our IDP process into Teams. Are there any decent talent or employee development apps for Teams that anyone can recommend for IDPs?Anyone found a good way to run performance reviews inside Teams?
Our company just switched to doing everything in Teams and the one thing that still lives outside is performance reviews. We use a separate web app that nobody logs into until the last minute and managers hate it. Is there anything that actually handles the full review cycle with self assessments, manager ratings, maybe even 360 feedback? Our IT team said they'd prefer something that uses our existing M365 directory so we dont have to manage another user list.
small white window that opens during sharing in a meeting
Hi, I've Teams vers. 26120.3106.4722.3411. For some time when I access to a meeting and sharing the screen, a window or a presentation, a small white windows appears at the bottom right and I cannot close it. To close this window and to prevent it from opening again I need to disconnect to Teams also for 2-3 times. Well, how could I solve a such issue permanently? Thanks This is the window image that I can capture:Planner task comments no longer send email notifications – critical regression
This change removed a previously existing core functionality without providing an adequate replacement. With the new Planner experience, task comments no longer trigger automatic email notifications to assigned users. This breaks a critical communication mechanism that many teams relied on for reliable task coordination. As a result, assigned users are no longer consistently informed about updates, introducing a high risk of missed information and operational issues in day-to-day work. There is currently no supported or enforceable alternative to ensure users are notified. Previous behavior: Task comments triggered automatic email notifications Assigned users were reliably informed Communication was traceable and consistent Current behavior: No automatic email notifications No configuration to restore this @mentions required (manual, error-prone, not enforceable) Microsoft Support has confirmed that this is by design and cannot be reverted. From an enterprise perspective, this is not just a design change, but a regression of critical functionality without an equivalent replacement. Request: Please restore automatic email notifications for task discussions or provide a reliable, enforceable alternative for notifying assigned users. Question to the community: How are you handling this change in real-world scenarios? Switching tools? Enforcing @mentions? Moving communication out of Planner? Would appreciate hearing how others are dealing with this.
How to find pictures/screenshots in a chat
HI All We use teams chat to share screenshots all the time, but it seems these shared screenshots are not saved in the file tab. It is very difficult to browse through the complete chat history to find them because I cant find a way to filter all the pictures, etc. Does anyone know the trick? Thanks
