Announcement Playback Service chat ¡HEPL!
Hello, for a few weeks now, one or two chats with the same name "Announcement Playback Service" have been appearing in my recent chats without explanation. Since the new chat update, they have remained permanently static in recent chats. I can't remove them, delete them, move them, or hide them. They're very annoying. I want to remove them. Does anyone know how? I've attached photos. (desktop and web versions) is the same problem When trying to move them from container: When I hit "Discard" nothing happens:
How to Access Participants’ Camera and Mic Device Names in a Teams Plugin
Hello, I’m currently developing an integration for Microsoft Teams focused on enhancing meeting security. One of the features I’m looking to implement involves gathering information about other participants’ camera and microphone device names during or after a meeting. Could anyone point me to the appropriate Microsoft Graph API endpoints, SDKs, or supported methods that allow access to this type of device information for meeting participants? Any guidance on how to implement this functionality correctly and in compliance with Microsoft’s policies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Announcement Playback Service chat ¡HEPL!

Bot framework portal doesn't allow to create a new bot
It seems that https://dev.botframework.com/bots/new has been changed and does not allow anymore to register a new bot. It redirects to the Azure Portal where adding a subscription to the bot is forced (even for Bots not hosted on Azure). Is this intentional?Prevent 3rd Party Bots from Joining Meetings
Is there an option to block 3rd party bots from joining a Teams meeting in the Admin Center or elsewhere in Azure? Here's the backstory: company users started receiving recaps of their meetings from a 3rd party AI. From testing, if you create a free account on this 3rd party AI app and give it permission to read your calendar, it will recap all meetings associated with your calendar. So, when a user from my company sends this outside person a meeting invite, there is no visibility into whether anybody outside of the company is using this type of solution. When the meeting begins and a user from my company (organizer) starts the meeting, there is a bot request to join the meeting. While the company user has the option of admitting or denying the bot to the meeting, sometimes this can be overlooked. Due to data privacy, I want to block this bot by username/email as displayed in Teams or even by domain so it can't join Teams meetings preventing any company user from making a decision.Facilitator Agent Brings AI-Powered Notetaking to Teams Chat
The Facilitator agent can make sense of the messages posted to a Teams chat and summarize the discussion and extract to-do items and unanswered questions. It’s a very practical tool that allows chat participants to focus on the ebb and flow of a conversation instead of pausing to take notes. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required before you can use AI Notes in Teams chat. https://office365itpros.com/2025/03/18/facilitator-agent-chat/Low Resolution Recordings - (240p/480p) Instead of HD
Hi everyone, I'm using the Microsoft Teams API with the Psi Bot Service to record participants' video feeds. However, I’ve noticed that even when participants have Full HD (1080p) or HD (720p) cameras, the recorded video is significantly lower in resolution, sometimes as low as 240p or 480p. /// <summary> /// Receive video from subscribed participant. /// </summary> /// <param name="sender">The sender.</param> /// <param name="e">The video media received arguments.</param> private void OnVideoMediaReceived(object sender, VideoMediaReceivedEventArgs e) { this.logger.Info($"[VideoMediaReceivedEventArgs(Data=<{e.Buffer.Data.ToString()}>, Length={e.Buffer.Length}, Timestamp={e.Buffer.Timestamp}, Width={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.Width}, Height={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.Height}, ColorFormat={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.VideoColorFormat}, FrameRate={e.Buffer.VideoFormat.FrameRate} MediaSourceId={e.Buffer.MediaSourceId})]"); this.mediaFrameSourceComponent.Received(e.Buffer, e.Buffer.MediaSourceId); e.Buffer.Dispose(); } I’d like to understand: Why is the recording resolution so low? Is there a way to ensure that participants' videos are recorded at their original resolution (e.g., 720p or 1080p) without down scaling or compression? Are there any settings in the API, bot configuration, or Teams policies that control the recording quality? Does this depend on network conditions, Teams recording policies, or another factor? If anyone has experience dealing with this or knows of a workaround to get higher-resolution recordings, I’d appreciate any insights! Thanks in advance.
