Randomly getting opt-out / opt-in in a CallQueue
Dear All, Once again one of my customers is experiencing something no other words can describe but: magical. Set-up: CallQueue "CQ1" Call answering: "Team1" (with 8 people in it) Conference mode: on Routing: attendant and not precence-based Users can opt out of taking calls 2 out of the 8 persons in Team1 is experiencing that they are randomly getting opt-out or opt-in during the day. Already deleted the cache, re-installed teams (newest versions) but this unwanted magical thingy is still occurring multiple times a day. Anyone else having or had this symptoms? Can't figure out what to do next. Thanks for you thoughts and time! BenjaminBvdL79Jan 22, 2026Brass Contributor574Views4likes8CommentsCreating channel meetings triggers emails to all Teams members
I'm struggling with a delicate and strange problem. We mainly use Channel Meetings in Microsoft Teams. The problem is that absolutely all team members receive an email about the meeting, regardless of whether they are invited to the meeting or not. As I understand it, only those who are invited to the Channel Meeting should receive an invitation. However, I should be able to choose to notify all Team members if I wish, but that is not the case. When I check the M365 groups, the setting "Send copies of team emails and events to team members inboxes" is disabled and I think this should be enough, but it clearly is not. Does anyone here have a solution to this?482Views1like5CommentsChannel Meeting Chat can only be viewed from the channel
Why can't chats from a meeting channel appear in the chat section of Teams? Our project team have decided against holding meetings in channels due to this reason because it's a hassle to navigate back to the Team. I have the view set up correctly an you cannot see the chat where we would do all other regular meeting chats. Apparently this is by design? Why...?hoopermJan 21, 2026Copper Contributor18Views0likes0CommentsGuest users removed from Teams Group Chat
Our users are sharing a group chat with an external organization, users were invited by the creator of the group chat. Today all of the external users were removed from the group, we have no idea why. We have a guess that it happened because the user who created the group chat left the organization and his user was disabled in Entra-ID. This is the second time this has happened to this group of users, last week, in a similar way, all of our users were removed from a group created by a user in the other organization. Any explanation or more information as to how to prevent/debug this situation is welcome. Thanks!

I am absolutely hating the new filters that only allow you to view "regular" chats and meeting chats separately. I don't know why they didn't include an "all" tab. Is there a way to view all chats at once that I am missing?CAS98Jan 19, 2026Copper Contributor3.3KViews4likes7CommentsStrange ringtone is played through Bluetooth headphones when receiving call in MS Teams
Windows 11 22621.1413 (happened on previous builds as well) Asus Zephyrus M16 GU603ZW Microsoft Teams Version 1.6.00.4472 (64-bit) (happened on previous versions as well) Headphones: Jabra Elite Active 7 Have a very weird and annoying problem: if I connect a headset to the notebook via Bluetooth, I am getting a strange ringtone when I receive a call in MS Teams. I have turned off "play sound for incoming calls and notifications" option, but it is still ringing. I thought it was a feature of Jabra headphones (tried on Jabra 75t), but when I connected wife's Samsung headphones (Samsung Buds 2), I got the different ringtone! 🙂 Neither of these ringtones are MS Teams ringtones (checked all available) and weirdly enough, none of them are visible on visualization in System->Sound->More sound settings -> Playback (it seems it plays on headphones itself). Jabra support said they do not have any pre-loaded ringtones on the headphones. Additionally, when I'm on the meeting in MS Teams, this ringtone is not playing when I receive calls. Having this issue for a year already, but to be honest, was not able to understand the cause of it. When I connect a non-Bluetooth headset (SteelSeries Arctic 7) I don't hear any additional ringtone. Reinstalled Teams completely - did not help. Any ideas how to disable it?Ivan_LYJan 19, 2026Copper Contributor4.3KViews0likes3CommentsAllow 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.er008Jan 19, 2026Iron Contributor127KViews188likes149Comments## Advanced Copilot Prompt for High‑Fidelity Teams Meeting Analysis (v1.5)
## Advanced Copilot Prompt for High‑Fidelity Teams Meeting Analysis (v1.5) I’ve been working on a structured Copilot prompt designed to dramatically improve the quality of meeting analysis inside **Microsoft Teams**, especially when the default Intelligent Recap doesn’t capture enough nuance, decisions, or actionable follow‑ups. This prompt produces a detailed, repeatable output that includes: - TL;DR executive summary - Meeting quality assessment - Prioritized action items table - Confirmed vs. tentative decisions - Open questions & risks - Mind‑map style outline - Timeline of key moments - Confidence & source citations - Tech jargon glossary - Planner‑ready task export It’s now at **version 1.5**, and I’m sharing it publicly for anyone who wants deeper meeting insights or more reliable task handoff into Planner. --- ### Why I Built This In many engineering, security, and cross‑functional meetings, clarity is everything. The default recap is helpful, but sometimes too generic. I wanted something that: - Reduces ambiguity - Surfaces decisions clearly - Highlights risks and open questions - Produces actionable, Planner‑ready tasks - Works consistently across different meeting types - Enforces strict inference rules to avoid hallucinations If your team relies heavily on Teams + Copilot, this can significantly improve meeting outcomes. --- ### What’s Included The full prompt includes: - Strict ordering rules - Anti‑hallucination constraints - Fallback rules for missing data - TL;DR section - Speaker‑labeling rules - Timestamp restrictions - Bullet‑length limits - Planner task title constraints - Deduplication rules - Tone consistency - Signal‑to‑noise filtering I’ve included the complete prompt below for anyone who wants to use or adapt it. --- ### How to Use It 1. Open the **Recap** tab of any Teams meeting with transcription enabled. 2. Click **Open Copilot**. 3. Paste the entire prompt into the Copilot compose box. 4. Wait for the structured output (usually 30–120 seconds). 5. Copy the Planner tasks section directly into Planner or Copilot for Planner. --- ### Looking for Feedback If you try this prompt, I’d love to hear: - What worked well - What didn’t - What you’d like added in v1.6 - Any edge cases or meeting types where it struggled I’m planning to maintain this as a community resource, so suggestions are welcome. Thanks to everyone experimenting with Copilot in Teams — the creativity in this community is incredible. --- ### Full Prompt (v1.5) ````markdown ```markdown # ============================================================ # PROMPT NAME: Advanced Teams Meeting Analyst (Copilot Enhancement) # ============================================================ # Version: 1.5 # Author: Scott M # Last Updated: 2026-01-14 # # Goal: # Use Microsoft Copilot in Teams (Recap tab or live meeting) to generate a highly structured, # high-signal meeting analysis that goes far beyond the default Intelligent Recap output. # Produce executive summary with TL;DR, prioritized action items table, confirmed/tentative decisions, # risks/open questions, mind-map outline, timeline, quality assessment, confidence/sources, # tech jargon glossary, and Planner-ready task export—all derived strictly from the transcript, # shared screens, chat, and attachments. # # Why This Is Superior to Default Teams/Copilot Processing: # - Default Recap: Basic chapters, highlights, simple tasks, attendance—often generic and misses nuance. # - This custom prompt: Forces strict inference rules (no hallucinations), adds confidence labeling, # decision status, risks section, mind-map structure, quality flags, source citations, # jargon glossary, and direct Planner integration for seamless task handoff. # Delivers scannable, professional-grade notes + actionable tasks for tech/engineering teams. # # Audience: # Microsoft 365 Copilot users in Teams-heavy environments who want deeper analysis # and direct bridge to Planner for follow-up execution. # # Non-Goals: # - This is NOT a replacement for legal/compliance-grade minutes. # - This is NOT verbatim transcription (use the native transcript for that). # - Relies on Teams transcription quality (enable Intelligent Speakers if available). # # Usage Instructions: # 1. Prerequisites: # - Ensure the meeting had transcription enabled (Meeting options → Record & transcribe → Allow transcription). # - For best speaker attribution: Enable Intelligent Speakers (if your org supports it) or have participants use their names clearly. # - Copilot license required (M365 Copilot or Teams Premium for full Recap features). # # 2. Post-Meeting (Recommended – Recap Tab): # - Go to the Teams meeting chat → Click the Recap tab (appears after meeting ends and processing finishes). # - Click Open Copilot (or the Copilot icon in the top-right of Recap). # - In the Copilot pane compose box, paste this ENTIRE prompt and press Enter/Send. # - Wait 30–120 seconds (longer for 60+ min meetings) for the full structured output. # # 3. During Live Meeting (Quick Catch-Up): # - While the meeting is active → Click the Copilot icon in the meeting controls. # - Paste the prompt (or a shortened version if time-sensitive) and ask for real-time summary/actions so far. # # 4. After Output Appears: # - Review the markdown sections—copy any part (e.g., Action Items table, Planner tasks) directly. # - For Planner handoff: # - Copy the entire "10. Planner Integration" section. # - Open Planner (in Teams app or planner.microsoft.com). # - Option A: Manually create tasks by pasting titles/descriptions. # - Option B: In Planner's Copilot pane (if available): Paste the tasks list and say "Create these tasks in my [plan name] plan". # - Save/export: Copy full output to OneNote, Word, or email for sharing. # # 5. Refinement & Follow-Ups (Highly Recommended): # - In the same Copilot pane, type targeted follow-ups like: # - "Expand the Risks section with mitigation ideas" # - "Draft a professional follow-up email to attendees including the summary and action table" # - "Create these tasks in Planner plan 'Engineering Syncs'" # - "Explain [specific jargon term] in more detail" # - "Prioritize the action items by impact" # - Iterate until satisfied—Copilot remembers context in the session. # # 6. Tips & Troubleshooting: # - If output is incomplete: Re-paste the prompt or say "Regenerate full analysis". # - Short meetings (<15 min): Output may be concise—ask for more detail if needed. # - No Recap tab?

Hi. I've spent quite a while on various forums looking for a definitive conversation on this, and can't find one. (Or, at least not one I like!) So... Is there any way to invite only a specific set of required and optional people to a Channel Meeting? That is, I want to create and manage the meeting invitation in a standard Channel (because I want the inevitable intra-meeting Chat to reside in the Channel); and I want to invite a working group of people (i.e., the group engaged on the specific meeting topic); and I don't mind if everyone in the Team can or does see that the meeting exists; and indeed I want the meeting results to be visible/accessible to everyone in the Team. BUT I really don't want the meeting invitation and tentative calendar entry to go out to all Team Members. Put one more way, simply: I have lots of Teams with dozens or hundreds of members, and within those Teams we often need to schedule and manage meetings that only require a subset of the Membership to attend. This ability seems so obviously useful to me. Without it, we either (a) use Channel Meetings as designed -- which means we accept the nuisance of inviting many not-particularly-interested people to a meeting, which is noisy and irksome; or (b) use Outlook to schedule (private) Teams meetings -- which forces valuable conversations and records (meeting chat, recordings and posted files) to naturally live outside the relevant Channel, which is horrible when we're trying to break users of a nasty Chat addiction and instead drive all related work inside its designated Channel. So... Is this feature being considered? Scheduled for delivery? Surely I'm far, far from alone in wanting this capability? thanks jhSolvedJohnHolzmanJan 16, 2026Brass Contributor45KViews24likes50CommentsRemoving a Meeting in a Teams Channel when the organizer is gone
We have a staff member that used to be an Owner of a Team that created a meeting series in a Channel within the team. That person now has left the organization and we cannot figure out how to remove the meeting series from the Channel for everyone. f course we could ask each person to manually remove the meeting fr themselves in Teams from the Channel but that doesnt work for large groups - it is just a mess. Is there an Administrative way to fix that?Solved4BobRandallJan 16, 2026Brass Contributor83KViews3likes17Comments
