Re: Is there a way to clean up the More Actions section of the elipsis menu in MS Teams?
To clean up the "More Actions" section of the ellipsis (three dots) menu in Microsoft Teams, especially to remove entries added by third-party apps or integrations like ticketing systems and support bots, I think you'll need to manage or remove these apps from your Teams environment. Here’s how you can do it: For individuals If the apps were added by individual users: 1. Navigate to apps: Click on the "Apps" icon on the left-hand side of Teams to open the Apps section. 2. Find the app: Search for the app you want to remove. You can use the search bar or browse through the "Built for your org" or "All apps" tabs. 3. Uninstall the app: Click on the app to view its details, and look for an "Uninstall" option. Click "Uninstall" to remove the app from your teams. For team owners If the apps are added to specific teams: 1. Go to the team: Navigate to the team where the app is installed. 2. Manage team: Click on the ellipsis (three dots) next to the team name and select "Manage team." 3. Apps tab: Go to the "Apps" tab to see all the apps installed for that team. 4. Uninstall the app: Find the app you want to remove and click the "Uninstall" option or the trash bin icon next to it. For Teams admins If you're a Teams admin wanting to remove apps from the entire organization or prevent them from being added again: 1. Open the Microsoft Teams Admin Center: You'll need admin rights for this. Navigate to the Teams Admin Center (admin.teams.microsoft.com). 2. Manage apps: In the Teams Admin Center, go to "Teams apps" > "Manage apps." 3. Search and select: Find the app or bot you want to remove or manage by using the search function. 4. Block or allow: You can choose to block the app, which prevents users from installing it, or if it's already installed, you might have the option to uninstall it. To block an app, select it, and use the "Block" option. Cleaning up the 'More Actions' menu The "More Actions" menu is populated dynamically based on the apps and services available to a user or team. By managing the apps as described, you can clean up unwanted entries in this menu. However, some built-in features and integrations, particularly those that come standard with Teams, may not be removable through these methods. Remember, the availability of certain options and settings may vary based on the permissions granted by your organization and the specific configuration of your Microsoft Teams setup. If you're unable to remove certain apps or if the options described above aren't available, you may need to consult with your Teams or IT admin for further assistance.628Views0likes0CommentsRe: BREAK OUT ROOM
I understand how crucial it is for your meeting to go smoothly, especially with a large number of participants and the need for break out rooms. Let's troubleshoot the issue with the break out rooms not appearing in Microsoft Teams, as it sounds like you've already taken several important steps. Here are some things to consider and additional steps you can take: 1. Check Teams version Ensure you're using the desktop client of Microsoft Teams, as break out rooms are not available on the web version. Also, make sure your Teams application is up to date: Open Teams, click on your profile picture at the top right, and select "Check for updates." 2. Verify your role and permissions Break out rooms can only be managed by meeting organizers or presenters in Teams. Verify that you are the meeting organizer or have been assigned a presenter role. If you're organizing the meeting, you should have access to break out rooms by default. If not, the meeting might have been scheduled by someone else, or there might be an issue with your account permissions. 3. Teams admin settings If possible, check with your organization's Teams administrator to ensure that break out rooms are enabled for your organization: Admins can go to the Microsoft Teams admin center, navigate to "Meetings" > "Meeting policies," and select the policy assigned to you. They should ensure that the "Allow breakout rooms" option is turned on. 4. Meeting scheduling method How you schedule the meeting can impact whether you see the option for break out rooms. Try scheduling the meeting directly from the Teams desktop client instead of using Outlook or another method. 5. Reinstall teams Since you've tried updating Windows and borrowing another laptop, consider reinstalling Teams on your device: Uninstall Teams, download the latest version from the official Microsoft Teams website, and reinstall it. 6. Prepare an alternative As a contingency plan, consider having an alternative solution ready. For instance, you can manually create separate meeting links as "break out rooms" and distribute them to participants if the feature doesn't work as expected. It's not as seamless but can serve as a backup. 7. Microsoft documentation Ensure you have the correct instructions for using break out rooms. Microsoft's official documentation offers comprehensive guides and troubleshooting steps. Given the urgency and since you've experienced significant trouble, persistently reaching out to Microsoft-support is critical. If there's a specific error message or behavior when you attempt to access break out rooms, providing those details to support can help diagnose the issue more effectively. If there's any more detailed information or a specific scenario you're encountering, feel free to share, and I'll do my best to provide further assistance.5.8KViews1like0Comments
