Hi all, I have a user that wants to integrate StarLeaf into one of his Microsoft Teams group. He is not the owner of the group. The issue he reported: "Currently, Starleaf for Teams is installed, but when there is any attempt to setup using the integration token generated from our systems admin in Starleaf, an error occurs." 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, Dino1.6KViews1like6CommentsNew Audio-Only Recording Option for Teams Meetings
A new audio-only recording option for Teams meeting suppresses the video feed from meeting participants to generate the MP4 file for the meeting recording. The idea is to better preserve user privacy during recording playbacks. Few will miss the video stream because the audio is usually more important. The audio is also the basis for the meeting transcript, and that leads to AI-generated outputs like meetings summaries and action items. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/20/audio-only-recording-teams/148Views0likes2CommentsDefault audio devices in teams
Hi All, I use a Lenovo X1 carbon 6th Generation laptop along with a Thunderbolt Docking station. (Windows 10 operating system) I use a usb headset for teams/ meetings and calls. When I unplug my headset, Teams defaults to my docking station. When I plug it back in, my docking station remains as default without automatically placing my headset back as default. (My headset is defaulted for all sound devices) My headset will appear in device options in Teams and I have to re-select it there in order to use it in -teams again. I've found that even after unplugging my docking station and only having my PC speakers and internal microphone as options, Teams will not automatically default back to my headset. It will remain defaulted to my PC speakers and internal microphone. Teams only defaults back if every other sound option is disabled from the sound control panel. However, other meeting software like Zoom and Cisco Webex automatically default to my headset (or whatever new sound device is plugged in) each time without me having to disable other sound devices or re-select it from the Zoom/Webex devices menu. I and many other users at my company have noticed this behavior. Does anyone have any hints or clues to help us out? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!69KViews15likes18CommentsHands Up keyboard shortcut breaks if chat window opened
It is really great that you have introduced a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-K) to raise and lower a hand during a call. This is important for accessibility. Unfortunately the keyboard shortcut feature breaks, and remains broken for the rest of the call, if the user opens the chat window.1.1KViews0likes2CommentsCall Event when one user calls another user so that Bot can be added to call
We have developed our Bot application and can record all media(audio, video) locally when a user directly calls the Bot User. However, we do not get a call event when one user calls another user - so that we can add the Bot to record the call. Both users have the global default compliance policy which allows recording. We have provided the necessary permissions to the Bot. What are we missing ? Thanks57Views0likes2CommentsPlease tell me how to disable the Pin Copilot message

Is it possible to alter the co-organiser of a recurring meeting if the owner of the meeting series is not available to? They are on long-term leave and we need someone else (part of the meeting anyway) to manage the series. Is it possible as a global admin perhaps?39Views0likes1CommentAffordable Conference Room Setups for Small Businesses Using Microsoft Teams Resource Accounts
Our small business (around 40 users) recently migrated from Google to Microsoft 365, and we’re facing several challenges in optimizing our meeting rooms for Teams without incurring large costs. Here’s our current setup and the main issues we are encountering—hoping for advice or creative solutions from the community. Current Setup All computers are domain-joined. We created resource accounts for each of our three meeting rooms; these appear correctly as Rooms in Outlook and Teams booking menus. Each meeting room contains a standard desktop PC (not MTR-certified) running Windows, logged into Teams as the room’s resource account. Employees use the meeting room computer to join calls and manage the meeting calendar. Current Issues Wireless Presenting (Casting): Teams’ wireless casting feature appears to require MTR-certified hardware, which is financially out of reach for a business our size. Unplugging and plugging HDMI cables is cumbersome and error-prone, especially since not everyone uses a laptop, and reconnecting the room PC is often forgotten. Agenda & Calendar Privacy: When meetings are booked, the full Teams agenda and chat history remain accessible on the meeting room machine. That means anyone in the room can view past meetings/agendas, which isn’t ideal from a privacy perspective. Screen Sharing and File Security: To present from the meeting room PC, any files must be accessible by the resource account, creating additional security concerns and sharing/permission headaches. What We’re Looking For Affordable wireless presenting options for meeting rooms—ideally something that integrates smoothly with Microsoft Teams, but without requiring full MTR hardware. Best practices to lock down or reset the meeting room PC so meeting agendas, chats, and files are not visible after a session. Secure ways to allow guests to present (screen share, share files, etc.) without exposing company data or making users jump through complicated permission processes. If anyone has experience setting up small, cost-effective Teams Rooms, especially with regular PCs rather than dedicated MTR devices, advice would be greatly appreciated! Specific steps, hardware/software recommendations, or management tips would all be helpful. Thanks in advance for any guidance!31Views0likes0Comments
