Teams Wiki image can't be retained
We like Teams Wiki, where can quickly create sections and pages. However, recently found a bizarre issue about images.
By selecting a certain section, I'm able to insert images from the top menu bar, and the images could be inserted.
Insert successfully
But once others access the Wiki (or myself go to other tabs or channels and go back to the Wiki tab), and click on the image, it will just disappear! There's no way to get it back (undo, ctrl+z not working).
Click on it will 'delete' it
Anyone met the same issue, and if there's any approach to fix? Thanks.

Still having this issue as of Feb 2022:
The links in previous comments no longer work (first one lands on a page saying "This Content Was Archived" and the UserVoice link just goes to the general list of all feedback for Microsoft Teams), but here is a UserVoice complaint about this issue:

Hope everyone will go vote for it to get Microsoft's attention to finally fix this severe bug.
dustin-hansen Same problem here, April 2022.

- Take a snapshot or snaggit the image and paste it, it will not disappear.
I am looking for a resolution also. All my images in Teams WIKI turned into "Machine generated alternative text" and the images will not display.
Richard_Wu The issue is with the file size..uploading any image more than 200 KB gets disappear when anyone tries to click or edit the image
Richard_Wu I had the same issue, but when I saved my images in Files and uploaded them in the wiki from there, it solved the issue.
bruce_1605 I tried but still have the same problem.
bruce_1605 Thanks Bruce. I'll give that a go.
We are having the same problem. I voted for the issue to have priority in getting resolved at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/41253322-images-keep-disappearing-in-wiki-this-needs-to-b . I hope that helps.
Richard_Wu I am having the same problem. Hopefully a Teams developer is reading this feed.
Hello Qolin Richard_Wu, JamesAotearoa and all: The best way to communicate feature suggestions or "bugs" to the development team is to open a ticket at the Teams Uservoice feedback forum (I've checked and so far no one has reported this issue yet). Other users can vote on it and track the progress as it moves through the change process (assuming it gets enough votes to bypass all of the other features and bug fixes that users are demanding). Thank you.
ThereseSolimeno and all others following this thread, please have a look and vote for the following User Voice: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/41253322-images-keep-disappearing-in-wiki-this-needs-to-b
Richard_Wu I do have the exact same issue. Hope this will solve soon.
AudreyJoannette-Racine same issue here...
Apologies if this is already known but I found the following helped me find my images:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftTeams/comments/apv4qf/how_to_restore_wiki_in_teams/
Even though my images had disappeared from my wiki page they were still stored in the Teams Wiki Data folder accessed through SharePoint.
Of course this doesn't stop the issue re-occurring but at least the images aren't lost...
James.
Richard_Wu Yes me too, I've been seeing this for a while and just working around it but it is getting more annoying. Surely this is a known bug and there should be an official response from Microsoft somewhere?
I notice you raised in August, have you found a workaround or had a response from MS?
Thanks, James.
