Microsoft Account Already Exists (Windows 11)
While trying to change from account A to account B, I switched to a local account to make the transition smoother (as recommended). However, despite various attempts—including clearing the Credential Manager—I always receive the error: "Microsoft account already exists." I realize this issue has never been properly resolved in various forums (learn), and other users have experienced the same problem over time, with the suggested solution often being to restore Windows 11. Is this really how defect management is handled at Microsoft? Have other users faced similar issues? And this does not work either : https://learn.microsoft.com/fr-fr/office/troubleshoot/activation/another-account-already-signed-inMicrosoft Teams Timer for Recurring Meetings
Hi MSFT folks, Any chance we could have this amazing new functionality included as part of the default setup in recurring meetings, please? Ideally, not having to activate it every time could make our lives simpler. https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=494842 Thank you for the feedback. https://dimitripletschette.com/The top 10 reasons to switch to the new Microsoft Edge at work
Are you using Microsoft 365 at work? Well, I strongly suggest transitioning to Edge. It is also one of the easiest steps to prepare yourself for Microsoft Copilot, as it will be just a click away! Below, are the top 10 reasons why you should make the switch today within your company! Direct access to Copilot for Microsoft 365 in Edge. Professional work feed at the bottom of every new tab. Put inactive tabs to sleep after a specified amount of time. Immersive Reader enables everyone to benefit from the web faster. Create a QR code for this page. Microsoft Edge is not Internet Explorer! Right click open on the sidebar. Send link to your device supported by Microsoft Intune. Built on Chromium as Google’s browser, allowing you to install many Chrome extensions. Using Edge at work allows you to reserve Google Chrome for personal use at home. If you are not fully integrated into Microsoft products, there are plenty of excellent browsers available for both work and home, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Check out the browser market share statistics here: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share. Google Chrome (average market share : 65%) Apple Safari (average market share : 18.55%) Mozilla Firefox (average market share : 2.8%) Opera (average market share : 2.53%) Brave Software Feel free to jump into the conversation below.

Hi folks, After attending Microsoft Ignite Switzerland 2024, I have been thinking about the future of https://adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/ and how its capabilities could be enhanced with a proactive and predictive approach. Obviously, I understand the ability to create custom copilots, however, what I am referring to is, or could be, in a hypothetical future, various improvements baked in and activated by organization administrators. For instance, here are a couple of examples: Example 1: Based on the Microsoft Teams status on Monday morning, if a user signs in, proactively offer a recap of the previous week and an overview of the upcoming week, including days at the office and scheduled meetings. This should be done without even needing to ask the question. Example 2: Based on the Viva Engage profile activity, proactively offer recaps of items that might have been highlighted by communications managers or org-admins. Example 3: Based on the number of unanswered emails by the user prior to the end of the week, suggest a free time slot in Microsoft Teams to be blocked in their calendar. This will help wrap things up before the end of the week. Example 4: Based on the activation of the "office/remote" work location field in Microsoft Teams, offer the user the ability to postpone their office days if it's too crowded, or vice versa, encourage them to head to the office if their top 10 Microsoft Graph connections are already there. Example 5: Trigger Actions - it would be great to be able to connect with the entire desktop interface of the user, allowing us to open software programs, launch saved RPAs, and perform other actions as needed. Example 6: Custom keyboard shortcuts - Give collaborators the ability to save custom keyboard shortcuts to accelerate their time to value. For example, they could set up shortcuts like Ctrl + T for "Translate this". Example 7: Custom personas shortcuts - Give users the ability to save custom persona shortcuts to accelerate time-to-value. For example: Ctrl + Shift + R for 'Release Manager'. Example 8: Copilot profile section - Offer users a dedicated profile section where they can set up their conversation style, shortcuts, preferred languages, etc. Example 9: Microsoft vCard Integration - When a query is made in Copilot, such as @ user, offer a vCard on top of other information, including the profile picture. Example 10: Windows desktop application - Even if we can use Microsoft Teams floating window, it would be great to have the ability to pin an app in the Taskbar. Example 11: Predictive Document Collaboration - Anticipates who needs to collaborate on a document based on past interactions, suggesting collaborators and streamlining the process. Example 12: Security Guardian - Proactively identifies potential security threats and offers actionable recommendations to safeguard sensitive data. Example 13: https://marketplace.elgato.com/search?q=microsoft - Imagine having the ability to use daily physical shortcuts on your Stream Deck with a dedicated Copilot profile.

Hi folks, Could we please have an activity feed for each card to log who did what? Having the ability to know who changed the dates, the description, etc., would help increase the transparency and the integrity of the information contained in it. We might want to mimic what is currently done on Trello. For example: Dimitri Pletschette set this card to be due Jun 6 at 11:50 AM a few seconds ago Dimitri Pletschette added this card to To Do 5 minutes ago Feel free to jump into the conversation below.

Hi folks, It appears that there are some minor functionalities missing, in https://www.microsoft.com/uk-ua/microsoft-365/microsoft-whiteboard/digital-whiteboard-app. Dashboard Filters As a user, I would appreciate the ability to view some filters on my dashboard, including "My Whiteboards," "Whiteboards Shared with Me," and "My Favorite Whiteboards."

On March 8th, 2024, Microsoft Ignite Switzerland took place at the Kongresshaus in Zürich. The event welcomed Swiss business leaders and developers, for a day of keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and ask-the-expert panels. Microsoft Ignite is one of the best event in Switzerland to inspire and empower attendees with the latest innovations in business and technology.

Hi folks, Currently, profile pictures in Teams are cached on the client for up to 60 days. This means that it could take up to 60 days for colleagues to see your new picture with a nice Christmas sweater. To illustrate my point, let's consider a scenario where Satya Nadella changes his profile picture on December 1st with a great Christmas jumper. Would it be acceptable for his collaborators only to see the updated picture after their cache expires 60 days later, on February 1st? Shouldn't we purge the cache after each profile picture update to ensure the latest version is visible across all clients and solutions within 24 hours? The user's story could look like this: As a Microsoft Teams user I want my newly uploaded picture to be visible within 24 hours across all clients and solutions. So, my collaborators will always be served with the latest content. Please vote for the feedback https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/ea542f2c-b4ab-ee11-92bd-6045bd7b0481. Thank you.
