Unsupported card when using Outlook card sharing of card created with Workflows
Hello, The full setup is an automation in Confluence that "send a message to teams". It was previously a teams "webhook" connector that have been replaced by a Teams Workflows "send webhook alerts to a channel" from existing templates. On Confluence side we have configuration for title, message, icon (?) and webhook url. The workflow works but when using Outlook sharing from the posted card in Teams I get: Workflows Card - access it on go.skype.com/cards.unsupported I have have removed Confluence from the equation and used postman to test things. I was not able to find a way to fix that issue. I noticed there is a advanced card id attribute in "Post card in a chat or channel" but I was not able to find what are legit values. There is a mention somewhere that adding a subject could help but it doesnt look like it's compatible with the expected "Adaptive Card" configuration in "Post card in a chat or channel". From what I understand, the workflow just pass the "attachment" structure to the "Post card in a chat or channel" so if the subject is a sibbling element it will obviously not be handled. Any idea on how to do things right? I would surely expect Workflows to provide an integration that would let us create a simple card compatible with how Teams works so maybe it's just a "simple" bug to be reported somewhere. Thanks for any help!
App Validation Issue - Bot must send a proactive welcome message in personal scope
I'm working on a bot application for MS Teams using the Python SDK and encountered a challenge with app validation and the proactive welcome message requirement. What Happened: Initially, our bot handled the welcome message through on_installation_update, but app validation failed with the error: "Bot must send a proactive welcome message in personal scope." To satisfy validation, we added on_members_added_activity to send the welcome message for personal scope, which resolved the validation error. However, this created a new problem: on_members_added_activity is being triggered when we call the Graph API to query chats or users: {graph_url}/me/chats $filter=chatType eq 'oneOnOne' and installedApps/any(a:a/teamsApp/id eq '{teams_app_id}') {graph_url}/users/{user_id}/chats $filter=chatType eq 'oneOnOne' and installedApps/any(a:a/teamsApp/id eq '{teams_app_id}') According to a Stack Overflow discussion (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57496329/proactive-messaging-bot-in-teams-without-mentioning-the-bot-beforehand), this appears to be a known issue: calling this API triggers a conversation update event even though there were no actual updates, resulting in duplicate events and duplicate welcome messages. Questions: What is the official/recommended way to handle known issue: calling this API triggers a conversation update event? Whats the recommended way to read personal chat history of a user? Should we be using a different approach for this app validation requirement? Any guidance or pointers to official documentation would be greatly appreciated!
Inability for External Presenters to Manage Breakouts is hurting our business in the L&D industry
I've raised this topic in various forums and at numerous conferences over the years, but I'm hoping we can initiate a productive dialogue here. We operate in the L&D space, offering corporate training support for global clients across over a dozen platforms, and have been doing so since the days of Skype. Whether it's WebEx, Adobe Connect, Zoom, or another platform, the process is generally straightforward. We receive host rights, and we’re set to go. However, Microsoft Teams is an exception. From the beginning, conducting training sessions as an external vendor on Teams has been extremely challenging. Despite some improvements over the years, one critical piece of functionality is still missing: external users cannot manage breakout rooms. This oversight is severely impacting our business, as well as many other small businesses like ours, as our corporate clients transition to Teams. Many organizations move to the Microsoft ecosystem partly due to their InfoSec policies, making the issuance of internal organization credentials difficult and often necessitating additional hardware. It's not just external vendors who are frustrated. Many of our clients, including the L&D departments of Fortune 500 companies, have actively opposed their companies' transition to Teams. We want to embrace these transitions and even endorse and encourage them. Is this functionality on the roadmap? Who do we need to speak to, or what actions are required to fully address this issue? We are eager to discuss the friction points of using Teams for training from the perspective of a company that has facilitated and supported hundreds of thousands of trainings across every major platform over the last decade. Your thoughts and insights would be greatly appreciated.
Problems with synchronizing speed dial buttons between Yealink MP56 E2 and Yealink EXP50
Hello everyone, I have the following problem. We have several Yealink MP56 E2 Teams phones with connected Yealink EXP50 key extensions. Unfortunately, for about half a year now, the synchronization of speed dial keys between the phone and the key extension has only been possible to a limited extent. Specifically, you can create contacts on the phone and add them to speed dial via the phone. However, in 99 out of 100 cases, this is not synchronized. The same applies to deleting contacts. What's strange is that the deleted contact is not actually deleted from the phone itself and reappears after 2 seconds. I had already read that this error has occurred from time to time in recent years. Unfortunately, there has been no noticeable improvement in the last six months. I have already tried the following: Resetting the phone, rebooting after changes, disconnecting the connection between MP56 E2 and EXP50, logging back into the phone, updating the phone's firmware and the phone's Teams app. Unfortunately, none of this has been successful. Does anyone else have any ideas or has Microsoft made an official statement that there are problems here?
MS Teams Mission Control Center
We provide meeting/webinar support for a major client using MS Teams. Highlighting participants via "Spotlight" in large meetings is quite cumbersome, especially during Q&A sessions, and it's relatively time-consuming and causes awkward pauses. Isn't there a way to improve this? Perhaps an external control page? Furthermore, it would be very helpful to be able to switch seamlessly to different cameras and videos without having to go through OBS or Vmix, or connect a hardware video mixer. Are there any solutions on the market that don't require multiple people to manage a meeting with high demands? If not, we will need to develop this ourselves 😉.
How to COMPLETELY delete / unistall Teams
I have an issue with the New Teams. In the old Teams I had access to a guest account and could easily switch. After updating to New Teams - the account that get shown has a combination of the guest org and my own org. I have no way to switch to the guest account. Then when I log out I see a list of other accounts I have used in the past. These are not guest accounts but actual login accounts. I don't have access to them anymore and they are not listed as organisations I'm a member of. I have uninstalled Teams, deleted cache several time but I can not get everything deleted! I have created a new windows profile to test and the issue does not appear there. (not the solution I want) So how do I COMPLETELY DELETE / UNISTALL Teams? I want everything gone from my work profile so I can get a clean install that works.
Restore Name / Timestamp Copy/Paste FEATURE in MS Teams
The ability for copy / paste to carry the sender's name and the timestamp of the comms in MS Teams was removed a while ago. Its seriously a ridiculous thing to fully remove. There are many many industries and many many use cases where having the name and timestamp EASILY copy / paste-able is NEEDED. Your devs should update with an option in settings to include Name and Timestamp on copy/paste actions in Teams. Going through multiple windows / options screens each time I want to pass along critical information is tiresome and annoying. Ad-hoc snip-it SS are as well. How narrow-sighted this change was is seriously concerning coming out of a multi-billion dollar company.The Files tab in channels is now "Shared"
I've found this Roadmap article about this feature: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?id=470597 The Microsoft 365 Admin Message Center Message ID MC1025217 says "Before rollout, we will update this post with new documentation." But I can't find any documentation and users in my organisation have this new feature. It's not in any of the blog posts here. Any thoughts on where to find useful end user materials?Unable to get a licensed teams / assigned Business Basic
I've encountered a problem since I started working in a new company, the exploratory license was assigned to me automatically, with which I could use MS Teams for 1 month, then the license expired and everybody in the company has Business Basic, which is assigned automatically (you can't assign it, manually where checkboxes are), ignorantly I thought that it would be assigned automatically, but it isn't, now i'm locked outside the teams. Apparently this Business Basic licenses that everybody uses are assigned to all in the company group, but I've checked with the boss who has admin rights and I am in that group and not as a guest or something but as an user, same as everyone else. So idk, how to solve this problem, if anyone on this forum has any ideas, because I'm out...Best intranet solution for Microsoft Teams?
We've moved from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 and Teams is serving as the main hub for our employees (we are fully remote). While Teams is already pretty solid and we are using the channels and threads to great effect, we are looking to add a sort of an intranet for company-wide announcements, universal documents, internal job boards, etc.Teams Reconnecting
Every time I reconnect to Teams I get the following message at the top of my Teams windows "Loading latest updates... in the meantime, you can still send and respond to messages". The message does not go away. It does not make it clear whether if I can really send and respond to messages. Does anyone have insight to how this behavior works?Teams VDI - Loading Latest Updates
Our VDI users on Omnissa Horizon are sporadically experiencing an issue where a banner pops up on the top of their teams saying "Loading latest updates... in the meantime, you can still send and respond to messages." When this happens, their Teams status appears as offline for other users, and they can no longer send or receive any messages. They still seem to be able to make calls though. They also cannot search for any users who are not in their recent chat messages. Anyone else will not appear when searching by name in the search bar. We have some users where this occurs several times a day, and the only fix we have found so far is to run a "reset" on teams from Add or Remove programs. This then lasts a few hours before occurring again. For others, this maybe happens once a week. It seems to have started happening after the latest updated to version 25044.2208.3471.2155 a few weeks ago. There have been no other changes to our environment. Physical PC users are not effected by this issue.
Teams stuck in "Loading latest updates..." error
I have been having the same error with Teams for the past few months, across two different computers, and with me having uninstalled and reinstalled Teams several times. Effectively, Teams works fine the first time it is reinstalled, but when I go to use it the following day, even if the computer has not been shut down in the meantime, I get a "Loading latest updates... in the meantime, you can still send and respond to messages" line in the toolbar. I cannot actually send or respond to messages (or receive them) while this is going on, though. If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate the guidance - Teams is effectively unusable for me right now, which is a problem given how much we use it to communicate in my department.Require approval from IT to join a Team and/or Shared Channels
My company has two sides to its business. Both sides are under the same Microsoft 365 tenant. They can be called Group A and Group B. Group A should not be able to add those from Group B into teams and channels on their own. Likewise, Group B should not be able to add those from Group A. If either side wants to add the other to a team or channels, they should have to get approval from IT, with IT making the additions to the team or channel. We would rather not have this just done over emails. This has to be done while still allowing members of Group A and members of Group B the ability to have 1 on 1 and group chats. Does anyone have any suggestion how to do this?Best AI Agent for HR in Microsoft Teams?
So our HR team is looking for an AI agent tool that fits into our HR processes, such as performance reviews, 360 feedback, policy management, etc. We've messed around with Copilot and while it has been solid for productivity overall, it doesn't quite handle the HR processes. Any recommendations?
