Hello, I have tried to login to teams using my skype username. It prompt me to merge my skype account with my personal email. I clicked yes. it successfully logged me in into Ms Teams. I cannot see my skype chat history into teams and also not all of my contacts are there. I have enabled skype account contacts to sync from Settings => People => Sync contact => Manage but still not all contacts are synced and no chat history at all. Anyone knows how can I import the chat history as well? Thank you in advance455Views1like4CommentsIntermittent Issues with Images
We are experiencing an intermittent issue affecting a small number of users where images in chats occasionally fail to display/download. Steps Taken: Users have cleared their Teams cache. Used the business VPN. Switched networks when at home. The issue sometimes resolves but then reoccurs. Affected users have had new Windows builds and some have even received new hardware since the problem started. Request for Assistance: If anyone has insights into what might be causing this issue and potential solutions, your feedback would be greatly appreciated.15Views0likes0CommentsMicrosoft teams user analytics custom dates
Hi team, Just wondering if there is a way to get Teams analytics on a custom dates range? I know we can get trends currently for 7, 30, 90 or 180 days. But I would like to generate a report for a particular time period, for example: for the Month of December (31 days). Is there a way to action this ? Thanks1.2KViews1like3CommentsNearby in chat @mentions
Does anyone know what exactly the option "Nearby in chat @mentions" does? It's one option under Notifications and activity > Chats and channels > @Mentions. I understand all the other options available, but this one I cannot seem to make sense of. I couldn't find any sort of documentation about it either. Please help 😅47Views0likes1CommentMaximum Chat Participants needs to be increased
Hello - With how the default Teams' notifications are setup, our leadership decided we need a mass chat for all staff. This works much better and feedback has been positive from our staff. We prefer the "real time" chat and how it looks compared to the Teams' forum posting format. With that said, the chat participant limit is 250. WhatsApp just increased their limit to 512. Slack has a 1,000 person limit, Telegram is 200,000!! Does Microsoft have any plans to increase the 250 limit? We may need to move away from it if there are no plans.

Under Chat you can pin a particular chat and it will show under a "Pinned" section that can be collapsed / expanded, besides the "Recent" section that is always there. As you start pinning more conversations the Pinned section can get more cluttered. Is there a way to create custom sections? For example to group people from TeamA so I can find their contacts easily instead of having to search for them. Note that I don't want to send a message to multiple people at once, the idea is to be able to quickly find the contacts that are available from a given group. This feature is available on Slack (custom sections) and it was really useful to me, before I moved to my current employer which uses Teams instead.Solved43KViews19likes46CommentsDeveloper Tenant External User Messaging Issue
Hi everyone I have a Microsoft 365 Developer Tenant which includes 25 Microsoft 365 E5 Developer licences. I have been messaging a friend who is external to this tenant and it has been working fine up until around 2 weeks ago. Having looked into it, this seems to have coincided with Microsoft enforcing the policy to block federation with Teams trial-only tenants. Am I right in thinking that my developer tenant is considered a trial-only tenant in this instance?223Views0likes2CommentsI keep missing my @Tag notifications. Is there a way to change the sound from other notifications?
I keep missing my @Tag notifications. Is there a way to change the sound of these in Teams so they are different from all other notifications? So far, I only see that I can "Show in Activity and banner." But, I am part of a group who gets @ Tagged a lot and I need to differentiate between these notification and others just thru sound. I see that I can "Play sounds with urgent and priority contact notifications" differently.... but are @ Tags considered "urgent" or Priority contact notifications"? I tried to add my own @ Tag Group to the priority contact list in Privacy, but it didn't let me. Please help!Solved66Views0likes3CommentsCan no longer add People to a chat and include chat history in Microsoft Teams?
Used to be able to add additional people to a chat and get option to show chat history with add person icon at top of screen. Now, when press button you only get the option to start a brand new group chat and never given option to include chat history.. this was a VERY useful feature that seems to have been removed? Not sure if this on purpose or is this a bug?177KViews5likes39Comments
