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At this point I'm trying to determine whether: The documentation is incorrect or outdated.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
Workflows - Posting a Card
I'm in the process of migrating our Jira integration with teams from using the soon to be deprecated Connectors, to Workflows. I have two problems that I can't see to overcome. 1. All the messages are posted as '[My Name] via Workflows posted a new message'. Is there any way the message can come from another user or no user? 2. The preview for the messages (in the notification popup and Activity screen) is 'Card', instead of anything useful. Together this makes the notifications not very useful. What I have done: The workflow is set up And what is being posted to the webhook is (for example). { "type": "message", "attachments": [{ "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "contentUrl": null, "content": { "type": "AdaptiveCard", "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.4", "body": [{ "type": "ColumnSet", "columns": [{ "type": "Column", "width": "auto", "items": [{ "type": "Image", "url": "https://i.imgur.com/FrVumxY.png", "size": "Medium" } ] }, { "type": "Column", "width": "stretch", "verticalContentAlignment": "Center", "items": [{ "type": "TextBlock", "size": "Medium", "weight": "Bolder", "text": "Component Missing [ADP-xxx]" } ] } ] }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Initiator: ", "wrap": true }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "ADP-xxx: Fixing reset password validation", "wrap": true, "weight": "Bolder", "color": "Accent", }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Status: QA Ready", "wrap": true }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Type: Bug", "wrap": true }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Assignee: ", "wrap": true } ], "actions": [{ "type": "Action.OpenUrl", "title": "Open in Jira", "url": "https://xxx.atlassian.net/browse/ADP-xxx" } ], "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.4" } } ] } I have tried posting various different combinations of summary attributes with no effect. Is there a whole better way of doing this, or is there a few tweaks I can make?
Teams audio driver causing sound problems in WoW
hi, a couple of days ago I updated Teams on my Mac and since that moment I no longer had sound in World of Warcraft. This seems to be an issue that exists for years already. https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/suddenly-no-sound-out-of-speakers-only-via-bluetooth-headphones/471188 Is anything being done to get this fixed? I mean Blizzard is basically owned by Microsoft now. It can't be rocket science to come up with a solution. rgds IgorNew build crashes on camera while April build works just fine..
Win 10 Pro on work machine using the April 2026 build Teams works fine. Each night I shutdown and reboot, Teams updates to the latest version and each time I try to bring up a video call where it accesses my logitech camera, Teams shuts down, restarts, shuts down again, then restarts. If I bring up my devices in the new version and try to view the camera, bang, Teams crashes. It's crashing in the AMD driver (using a 9060XT.) So April version works like a champ but part of my daily ritual is to remove teams, install the April build work for the day then do it again tomorrow. Claude offered what it could, disable graphics acceleration to Teams, stuff like that. Nothing worked so far. I've done an AMD wipe using their clean tool and reinstalled everything including chipset, graphics drivers. Nothing else on the system is unstable, even Zoom works just fine.

Recurring talking points on Teams meetings?
So I want to build this new meeting structure between some of the mentors and mentees in my team where they regularly meet up and have these structured conversations. I want to create almost these templates where talking points in meeting agendas keep recurring. I would also love to be able to set some non-recurring talking points alongside them so this wouldnt be a bulk thing. Does anyone know how I can do this in Teams meetings?
Make an alert icon of new messages from other accounts/Orgs on top right in TEAMs
The icon of activity in other accounts and orgs moved to bottom left sucks, user would easily miss noticing new messages from other accounts/org. It's better to keep an alert icon next to user icon on top right for easier notification.Add Location to a Webinar
Hello! I appreciate Webinars are designed to be online - but does anyone know if it's possible to be able to add the Location field to Webinars? We often have hybrid meetings and it would be great to include Location. I have tried to add Location within Outlook after it's published, but this location does not then transfer down to those who register for the webinar. If I created a custom template (which I know requires Teams Premium) can I include Location on a custom template?Meet compared to the new Events app
Am I the only one not impressed by the "Events" app that replaced "Meet"? Meet was easy to use and was great to find recent items. Now with the Events app, that app is just empty - no content at all. Now I have to instruct users to go dig around their chats for recorded meetings. Is there way to have that old Meet functionality somewhere?Is Microsoft Teams a good Intranet?
Our company is fully on Microsoft 365, but employees still struggle to find basic information like policies, company updates, forms, department resources, and important links. Most of it is scattered across SharePoint sites, Teams channels, emails, and random folders. I want to turn Microsoft Teams into that hub where all of this lives, kind of like an intranet. Any suggestions?Change meeting category default options
When creating a new meeting in Teams and clicking the drop down button to select a category, a list of about six options appears that appear to be randomly selected. These don't bear any relation to the most commonly used categories I use, meaning I then have to click through to the list of all categories to find them. Is there a way to change what categories appear in that initial short list to save me a click each time?Schedule daily recurring messages in Teams chat channels
This is my first post on this site! How do I set up a recurring message in a Teams chat channel? I want to remind my team daily at a specific time to put their project stand up status into our project channel. I'm assuming this would be a bot? If so, how can I find the bot? Thank you, Susan KeithleyAuto Attendant & Call Queue Call forwarding to external numbers failing.
Hi all, Since this weekend users accross our org. have been noticing that AA/CQ that forward Calls to external numbers FAIL. This was not the case last week. Flow example : User dials number of AA, this AA has a menu which has Internal and external numbers. Internal numbers -> no problem. Externa numbers -> message (new never heard this): "Please Hold while we forward your call, .... Sorry we could not forward your call at this time, try again later". On user level we are not experiencing this issue when I redirect my calls from work number to external number there is no issue. What is very strange in this entire scenario is that we are EU bases, the resource accounts "Usage location" is on the proper country in EU. But in the Microsoft PSTN USAGE logs we see that the "Azure region for Media" is USSC, USEA, USWE, JPWE, JPEA, MAWE, KRCE where it should be EUWE, FRCE and EUNO ... But No Fail Codes, just Bye ... The dates hold up with the issue... before 26/07 everything passed over EU Region. After 26/07 everything passes over US, KR, MA, JP ... Anyone else having this issue ? Related to the new AI routing implementation gone bad ?Teams HAL driver update skips coreaudiod restart mediaremoted spins at 100% CPU
Environment: macOS 15.7.7 build 24G720, Apple M3 Max. Teams updated from 26183.1901.4874.5228 to 26198.202.4929.7171 via Microsoft AutoUpdate. What happens: The delta package installs the MSTeamsAudioDevice component into the system-wide CoreAudio HAL plug-ins folder. The system install log shows the bundle being atomically replaced, after which the postinstall script logs that it is a non-interactive command line installation and therefore will not restart coreaudiod, then exits. Because MAU always runs non-interactively, coreaudiod is never restarted and continues running against the replaced HAL bundle. Impact: Long-lived processes holding references to the Teams audio device never converge. In my case mediaremoted entered a permanent single-core spin at 107 percent CPU, sustained for days. A sample shows 100 percent of main-thread time inside AudioObjectGetPropertyData and AudioObjectGetPropertyDataSize, with the HALObjectMap CopyObjectByObjectID and ReleaseObject methods accounting for roughly 99 percent of top-of-stack samples. HALPlugIn ObjectHasProperty also emits an os_log call on every probe, so logd burns additional CPU. Teams itself was not running. Workaround: Force-quit the core audio daemon and then the media remote daemon; both relaunch automatically under launchd. Suggested fix: Restart coreaudiod from the postinstall regardless of interactivity whenever the HAL bundle payload actually changed, or defer the bundle swap until the next coreaudiod restart.
