Introducing a new feature on Microsoft Teams: "Save this message"
Exciting news - alongside pinning your posts/messages, you can now save them too. All your saved messages will be neatly organized under the "Saved" menu within Teams, right below the "Followed Thread" section. Look out for a special icon marking your saved messages for easy reference. And the best part? You have the flexibility to unsave messages whenever you wish. Stay organized and never lose track of important information with this handy
Autofilter Channel Posts
We manage a variety of digital products for a large user base across many different countries and want to curate our comms to limit irrelevant posts reaching users unnecessarily. For example a post about "Product A affecting Country X" should not reach "Country Y". What is the best practice here? Currently we've opted for a central channel with tags to assist users in managing their notifications, but they will still see all posts when visiting the channel and will need to self-filter. Is there a way for us to configure the channel so they only see posts they are tagged in? I know we could set up individual channels for each Product+Country combination but then any common posts we make would need to be duplicated into each channel separately. Thinking out loud, I suppose if we automate our posts with a workflow/AI then discrete channels is a good solution to keep things organised. Any ideas or feedback please?

StarLeaf + Teams integration

The link for instructions he used: https://support.starleaf.com/integrating/starleaf-for-microsoft-teams/#3-Install+StarLeaf+for One of the errors he gets: "Something went wrong. Reinstall StarLeaf for Teams." Any idea of what to do? Kind regards, Dino
Teams Webinars: Org name vs brand name – how are people handling this?
Has anyone else hit this with Teams webinars? Microsoft recently changed how webinar emails are sent, and the sender name now seems to come from the tenant Organisation Name. You can change that in M365 admin, but that’s where the problem starts. In a lot of companies, the organisation name is a legal/billing entity, not the public-facing brand. Example: Legal / tenant name: FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. Brand: FedEx Teams webinar emails now go out showing the legal entity, which isn’t great for external, customer-facing events. Changing the org name just to fix webinar emails can have knock-on effects for billing, contracts, and governance. As far as I can see: No way to set a brand-specific sender name No per-webinar or per-mailbox sender identity Org name is global and used across multiple services The only real workaround seems to be not using Teams-generated emails at all, and sending custom emails via Power Automate / Graph / a marketing platform, while still using Teams for the actual event. Curious how others are dealing with this: Are you just living with it? Changing the org name with legal sign-off? Or bypassing Teams emails completely? Feels like a gap for larger, multi-brand orgs.Optional Attachments in Teams Approvals?
Hello - I am experimenting with Teams Approvals. I am creating a new template which I'd like to include an attachment/upload, but the only option I see to add an attachment is the "Require Attachments" toggle, which is not exactly what I'm looking for. Is there a way to build a Teams approval with an optional file attachment field rather than a required one?
How do I record videos on Teams using a personal account?
I only have a personal Teams account (no company subscription) and want to schedule a Teams meeting with a friend so she can teach me Excel pivot table techniques. However, I can't find the "Start Recording" button in the meeting settings. Now, I got that recording is only available for subscribers. If a free account can't record from the cloud or locally, what screen recording solution do you usually use to ensure clear video? And I need to record both system audio and webcam picture-in-picture. Thanks in advance for any advice!
