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?
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 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.
