Has anyone successfully used "Hide attendee names" in Teams Meetings or Webinars with Teams Premium?
Hello, I'm trying to understand the current status of the**"Hide attendee names"** feature in Microsoft Teams. Our organization has Teams Premium, and according to Microsoft's documentation, the feature should be available for both Meetings and Webinars. The documentation even provides separate instructions for each scenario. However, during a recent Microsoft Support call, I was told that the feature is actually available only for Town Hall events and not for standard Teams Meetings or Webinars. This appears to contradict the current Microsoft documentation, so I'm looking for real-world feedback from other administrators. Questions: Has anyone successfully enabled Hide attendee names in a standard Teams Meeting? Has anyone used it in a Webinar? We have Teams Premium. If it works for you, what licenses are assigned to the organizer? Do you actually see the Hide attendee names option in Meeting Options? Is there any specific policy, rollout, or configuration required? Has Microsoft Support ever told you that the feature is Town Hall only? Microsoft documentation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/teams/meetings/hide-attendee-names-in-microsoft-teams-meetings-and-webinars At this point I'm trying to determine whether: The documentation is incorrect or outdated. The feature is being rolled out gradually. There is an undisclosed licensing or policy requirement. Microsoft Support provided incorrect information. The feature has been silently restricted to Town Hall events. Any feedback from tenants where this is actually working would be very helpful. Thanks! Giuseppe
Microsoft Teams Calendar Request
My US public k-12 school district would really love to integrate our Google Calendar with Microsoft Teams calendar. We don't have Exchange licenses, but we'd like to be able to still sync the calendars if possible. I found this support article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/setup-calendar-syncing-with-google-workspace but it looks like the feature is set to be deprecated later this year. I did try to get the feature working using the Admin app in Teams, but I ran into several issues and Microsoft Support stated development was paused. We would really love this feature to come back and work correctly if possible. Thanks.
Multi-device Meeting and Synchronization Issues
Microsoft Teams Bug Report – Multi-device Meeting and Synchronization Issues Date: August 21, 2026 Approximate time of occurrence: 10:30 AM Platform: Microsoft Teams Devices involved: iPhone and desktop computers Issue type: Meeting connection, multi-device support and synchronization Summary I would like to report a possible bug in Microsoft Teams related to multi-device support, meeting connections and synchronization between different devices. The issue occurred during a group meeting on August 21, 2026, at approximately 10:30 AM. The meeting had been scheduled in the Teams calendar, and all participants joined using the same meeting link. However, when the meeting organizer joined the meeting from an iPhone, the organizer and the participants ended up in different meeting sessions, even though everyone had used the same meeting link. Observed behavior The following issues were observed: The Teams meeting was scheduled in the calendar and participants joined using the meeting link from different devices. When the meeting organizer joined the meeting from an iPhone, the organizer and the participants appeared to be placed in different meeting sessions. The participants remained waiting, while the organizer was alone in a separate meeting session. The organizer then had to call the participants directly from the meeting she had joined in order to connect everyone to the same meeting session. The organizer had only created one meeting link, and everyone had used the same link. One or more participants experienced problems starting or joining the meeting from their original device. At least one participant had to switch devices in order for the meeting to work correctly. The meeting chat did not appear to synchronize correctly between devices. One participant did not receive or see chat messages in Teams on their computer, while the same information was visible in the meeting chat on their phone. The behavior therefore appeared to differ depending on which device was being used, despite the users being signed in with the same Teams accounts and participating in the same meeting. Expected behavior A Teams meeting should allow participants to join the same meeting session regardless of whether they are using a desktop computer, iPhone or another supported device. Meeting-related information and functionality, including the meeting chat, should also remain synchronized between supported devices. If a user is signed in to Teams on multiple devices, the meeting experience should remain consistent and the relevant meeting information should be available across those devices. Actual behavior The meeting experience differed between devices. In some cases, participants could not properly join or start the meeting from their original device. In addition, the meeting organizer and participants were initially placed in separate meeting sessions despite using the same meeting link. The meeting chat also appeared to be out of sync between devices. Information that was visible in the meeting chat on a mobile device was not visible on the user’s computer. Possible cause The issue may be related to multi-device support and synchronization between the Teams clients on desktop and mobile devices. It may also involve how Teams handles meeting links, meeting sessions and meeting chat synchronization when users join meetings from different device types. Additional issue – Teams feedback function I also attempted to report this issue directly through the Teams iOS application. However, when selecting the feedback/help functionality, the application displays the error message: “Something went wrong.” This prevents me from submitting the feedback through the Teams application. Furthermore, the feedback interface does not provide me with a usable way to select an existing image from my photo library to document the error. The instructions appear to suggest taking a screenshot, but in this particular case that does not adequately document the problem because the relevant error occurs within the feedback interface itself. I would therefore like to be able to attach the screenshot showing the “Something went wrong” error directly from my photo library when submitting this bug report. Request Please investigate this as a possible Microsoft Teams bug, particularly regarding: Multi-device meeting support. Meeting links and meeting-session handling across different devices. Synchronization between desktop and mobile Teams clients. Meeting chat synchronization between devices. The Teams iOS feedback function displaying “Something went wrong”. The ability to attach existing screenshots/images when submitting feedback from the Teams iOS application. I would appreciate confirmation if this is a known issue or if additional diagnostic information is required. device Meeting and Synchronization Issues Date: August 21, 2026 Approximate time of occurrence: 10:30 AM Platform: Microsoft Teams Devices involved: iPhone and desktop computers Issue type: Meeting connection, multi-device support and synchronization Summary I would like to report a possible bug in Microsoft Teams related to multi-device support, meeting connections and synchronization between different devices.

Additional issue – Teams feedback function does not work Microsoft’s support documentation currently directs users to submit feedback and report technical problems directly through the Teams application. I have attempted to follow this recommended procedure using the Microsoft Teams app on an iPhone in Sweden. However, the feedback function does not work. When attempting to submit feedback through the Teams iOS application, the application displays the error message: “Something went wrong.” As a result, I am unable to submit the bug report through the feedback function that Microsoft itself recommends. This appears to be an additional technical issue with the Teams feedback functionality, at least when using the Teams mobile application on iOS in Sweden. Furthermore, the feedback interface does not provide me with a usable way to select an existing image from my photo library to document the error. The instructions appear to suggest taking a screenshot, but in this particular case that does not adequately document the problem because the relevant error occurs within the feedback interface itself. I therefore have two related issues when attempting to report this problem: Microsoft’s recommended in-app feedback function fails with “Something went wrong.” The feedback interface does not provide a practical option to attach an existing screenshot from the iPhone photo library. I would therefore like Microsoft to investigate not only the original Teams meeting and multi-device synchronization issue, but also why the recommended feedback mechanism is not functioning correctly on the Teams iOS application. Please note that I am reporting this based on my experience using Microsoft Teams in Sweden on an iPhone on August 21, 2026.
Tams chat - everyone losing access after meeting ends
Hi All, I have a lot of regular Scrum meetings and lately people have started to complain that after call ends they see "no longer has access to the chat" message and can't write to the chat. Googling the solution showed that the problem is relevant and related to the invited external people, but we are all from the same organization - there are no external participants in the initial invitation. My first guess was that I'm sending an invitation via Outlook to a Distribution List that contains a lot of participants, so I tried to re-create series with direct emails, but that didn't work. Right now I'm guessing the reason is that I sent out the meeting request with "Request Responses" button disabled... Maybe someone here had the same problem and can suggest the correct way to solve it instead of trying all the possible options?Teams Freezes ~90 seconds into a 1:1 Mac OSX
