Microsoft can accuse you of Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse
So there is cloud hosting / storage website out there called 1fichier.com and if you write that in Teams, it's fine, but if you put https:// in front of it, like https://1fichier.com then it will ne censored in Teams and you'll get an e-mail saying: Content associated with your account was detected by Microsoft as violating our terms and policy or code of conduct. The details are as follows: • Service or product used: Microsoft Teams • Policy violated: Reference to Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Content • Actions taken: We have removed the content in violation. This is a pretty serious accusation to throw around like this, considering this is an obvious "false positive".
Team and Channels continually disappearing from Teams App
Can anyone advise what else we can try to ensure the list of Teams/Channels a user is part of appears in their Teams app list please? A user is having a recurring problem where Teams are missing from their list. They are still Members/Owners of those Teams. We have continually reset the app, cleared the cache, checked the app version, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the issue resolves for a short period of time and then it comes back again. What are we missing? What can we do to permanently resolve this? Is this a Teams app issue or is it linked to the computer?Microsoft 365 Community Conference: A Beacon for Builders, Innovators, and Icons of Intelligent Work

Our goal in Teams is to make hybrid work and communication easier and more inclusive than ever before. This pursuit is core to the effort we put into creating meaningful connections between people through our end-to-end events platforms, whether one-to-one meetings or large one-to-many hosted digital events. We introduced our new digital streaming event solution for large events, town hall, in September 2023. Town hall has continued to drive new, exciting experiences for our customers, such as the ability to bring multiple presenters on stage, send out attendee emails, and see real-time health analytics for the event. As we move forward, we are excited to continue to share our latest features with you and let you know what to expect from town hall in the next year.Microsoft Teams Town Hall: Host Professional Digital and Hybrid Events at Scale
Over the past year, Microsoft Teams town hall has made significant strides, continuing to evolve as a platform for scalable digital and hybrid events. It now provides enhanced production controls and richer attendee experiences. Whether you’re hosting a company-wide all hands, a hybrid town hall from your headquarters, or a large presentation for clients, Teams town hall provides a unified, professional solution that keeps everyone engaged and connected, supporting up to 100,000 simultaneous attendees. If you are new to town hall or are considering consolidating your communication on Teams to host scalable events, we’d like to share the latest progress and key features that make town hall a great choice for large-scale events with enhanced customer experiences. Scalable event experience in Teams Rooms - Hybrid events made easy Modern events often combine an in-person audience with remote participants. Teams town hall now fully supports these co-located experiences through seamless integration with Teams Rooms systems. When using Teams Rooms on Windows, a conference room system assigned as a presenter can join the event in presenter mode, with the front-of-room display defaulting to the attendee view. From the console, presenters maintain complete control over what appears on screen, including access to the green room and off-stage management. They can also switch the front-of-room display to presenter view without affecting what remote attendees see. The result is a smoother, more coordinated hybrid experience—transforming the on-site AV setup into a powerful production studio. In addition to this new capability for Teams Rooms on Windows, town hall is now supported for Teams Rooms on Android. These systems can now join a town hall as an attendee, allowing a group to participate together in-person with a Teams Room on Android device. Ultra-low latency (ULL) streaming – Real-time engagement Historically, large broadcast-style events had a significant delay of around 20–30 seconds for attendees. Town hall now reduces that delay with ultra-low latency (ULL) streaming for Teams Premium users. When enabled, ULL streaming dramatically reduces the delay for attendees watching the live stream to less than five seconds. This means your audience hears and sees the presenters in near real-time allowing more natural engagement. . This low-latency stream is auto-activated for town halls organized with a Teams Premium license, and it works with Microsoft’s eCDN solutions to scale securely for up to 20,000 concurrent event attendees. 1080p full HD video quality – Crisp, professional broadcasts Visual clarity is key to professional, high-quality event production. Town hall now supports 1080p full HD video for live event streams, a significant improvement from the former 720p limit. With 1080p, your town hall comes through with sharper, more detailed video meaning faces, text, and visuals are crystal clear for every attendee. This professional, studio-quality look helps land your message with a more engaging experience that holds audience attention. This feature enables 1080p resolution for up to 20,000 concurrent event attendees. This feature is currently in private preview, but will soon be generally available, and requires a Teams Premium license to enable. Event layouts & “Manage What Attendees See” – Polished production control Town hall gives organizers and presenters with Teams Premium powerful event layout control to craft a dynamic viewing experience for event attendees. Using the “Manage What Attendees See” feature, you can act as a producer in real-time, deciding who and what appears on the screen at any time. For example, you might start with a full-slide view during a critical data presentation, then switch to a side-by-side layout showing the presenter’s video alongside the slides for commentary. Town hall allows up to seven presenters to be shown simultaneously alongside shared content, an improvement over previous limits, so a whole panel can appear with the presentation media at once. Attendees stay focused on the content you want to highlight, and you can seamlessly transition between layouts (slides, speaker gallery, demos, etc.) to keep the presentation engaging and ensure that presenters land their key messages with the right information for attendees. Screen sharing navigation – No need to say ‘next slide’ During large events it’s common for multiple presenters to speak to the same presentation. Now presenters can share control of their slides with up to 20 other presenters at the same time, removing the need to hand off control between sections and providing seamless navigation of the slides throughout the presentation. Control is delegated by the user sharing their screen and can be adjusted at any point of your event. Live polls – Real-time audience engagement Keeping large audiences engaged can be challenging, but town hall now includes integrated polls to allow participants to stay involved. Organizers with Teams Premium can create and launch polls during the event, and results can be shared instantly with everyone. This capability transforms a one-way broadcast into a two-way conversation. For attendees, polls provide a quick and easy way to participate and contribute. For presenters, polls offer immediate feedback that can help tailor the live discussion. This can result in a more attentive audience, new opportunities for communication, and moments of collective participation. Raise Hands – Inclusive Q&A Town hall is designed to scale to tens of thousands of viewers, but we haven’t forgotten the importance of letting individual voices be heard. We’re excited to bring the raise hand feature to town hall. When an audience member raises their hand, organizers and presenters are notified and can choose to bring that attendee on screen to ask a question or share a comment, with full audio and video. This is a game-changer for live Q&A sessions. Instead of relying solely on typed Q&A or pre-submitted questions, you can invite attendees to actively participate in the discussion. For event organizers, this feature means you can foster authentic, live interaction, even when presenting at scale. Town hall Graph API – Greater control and customization Microsoft Graph APIs empower organizations to integrate Teams town hall with the internal platforms and workflows they are already using. These APIs enable organizations to automate the entire event lifecycle, by creating, publishing, and canceling town halls directly from their own systems, eliminating manual steps and reducing operational overhead. Organizations can use Graph APIs to suppress default Teams notification emails and instead trigger their own internal email communications, ensuring consistent user experiences. An additional recent enhancement is resource-specific consent (RSC), which allows apps to request permissions scoped to a specific town hall (or webinar) rather than requiring global admin rights. This improves security, simplifies consent processes, and enables developers to build integrations that respect organizational boundaries, all while ensuring compliance and scalability for enterprise events. Teams town hall has evolved into a comprehensive platform that raises the bar for virtual and hybrid events. From ultra-low latency streaming and HD video that make your broadcast feel crisp and professional, to interactive features like polls and raise hands that turn passive viewers into active participants, town hall is built to engage audiences at scale. Town hall helps mitigate the challenges of hybrid work and delivers tools for co-located experiences and Teams Rooms system integration so you can connect with people across offices and geographies in one seamless event. All of these innovations are available to use today as part of the current town hall experience. Try them out to create more impactful, inclusive events for your audiences.

Test call option not showing up in Teams?
Hi I've downloaded a personal version of Teams and need to test it. However, the 'Test call' option is not available? I've tried 2 methods: 1) typing 'Test call' in the search bar and pressing enter - nothing happens when I do this! 2) going to Settings then Devices then checking for the 'Test call' option - but it's not there! I've attached what I can see when I got to Devices and what I should be able to see (from a video I watched online) I'm using Version 1.4.00.22472 (64-bit). Can anyone please advise?Bot configuration config/fetch returns same channel ID when switching channels within same team
Summary When invoking a bot’s configuration flow (configuration.fetchTask) via an @mention-based settings entry point across different channels within the same Team, the request body consistently contains the same channelId, even after switching channels. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/bot-configuration-experience?tabs=teams-bot-sdk1%2Cteams-bot-sdk2%2Cteams-bot-sdk3 This makes it impossible to reliably determine which channel initiated the configuration. Environment Microsoft Teams (desktop client) Bot installed at team scope Same Team, multiple channels Bot supports team scopes. Configuration enabled via manifest: "configuration": { "team": { "fetchTask": true } } Steps to Reproduce Install the bot into a Team with multiple channels Navigate to Channel A Invoke the bot configuration using an @Bot settings / configuration entry point Observe the incoming config/fetch request payload Note the channelId in the request body Switch to Channel B (same Team) Invoke the same configuration entry point again Observe the incoming config/fetch request payload Expected Behavior The config/fetch request body should include a channel identifier corresponding to the channel where the configuration was initiated, e.g.: channelData.channel.id or another channel-scoped identifier that uniquely identifies the initiating channel Actual Behavior The config/fetch request body always contains the same channel ID The channel ID does not change when switching channels The value appears to be: either the Team’s General channel or a cached / team-level channel context As a result, the bot cannot determine which channel the user intended to configure. Impact This behavior prevents implementing per-channel configuration using the bot configuration experience because: Configuration requests cannot be reliably scoped to the initiating channel All configuration actions appear to target the same channel Users configuring different channels in the same Team unintentionally overwrite the same settings Additional Notes This occurs within the same Team Reproduced consistently across multiple channels Observed even when the configuration is invoked after explicitly switching channels Behavior suggests the configuration context may be team-scoped rather than channel-scoped, but this is not clearly documentedBidirectional calendar sync with Google - Unexpected Error signing into Workspace as SuperAdmin
We are using the Teams Calendar Synchronization with Google Workspace, and have had it setup since the summer, June 2025. (see this link for details of functionality https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/setup-calendar-syncing-with-google-workspace#set-up-calendar-synchronization) . We have been planning to role this out to users slowly with our initial beta test group was syncronized this past fall and expanded to new users on December 4th 2025. All beta users synchronizations appear to still be working to an extent, with functionality seems being very sporadic. Sometimes an event that is created in Google will sync to Teams in a few mintues, other times it can be several hours. In addition sometimes it will not sync any new events or updates to the Google Calendar, and the only way to get a full sync is if an event is created on the Teams Calendar. So there has been some weird and inconsistent results for us when testing. On December 4th I expanded our beta test group by successfully synchronizing an additional 22 user accounts. But since mid December(12/15 until now) when I attempt to add more beta users I cannot get logged into my Google Workspace within the Admin App on the Teams Client. When signing into the Calendar Sync feature using my Google SA account it fails to make the connection to Google Workspace. Authentication to google is successful when prompted in the browser and I allow the M365 Mail Migration app successfully. But once it kicks back to the teams client it spins for a minute or two and then fails with "Unexpected Error: Please sign into your Google Workspace admin account" error being displayed. If I try to sign in again, I get the same result over and over. Keep in mind this was not the case previously, as I was able to sync additional beta users on 12/4. When viewing the article above, it states "New customer onboarding for calendar syncing between Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams is currently paused. Existing customers with sync set up can continue using the feature without interruption." I would think that since we have had this setup since June 2025, and our inital beta test group are still working to an extent, that this suspension of onboarding clients would not affect us. I wonder if the fact that I have had to Allow the M365 Mail Migration app every time I have ever setup a user to syncronized, makes me wonder if this is impacting us. The functionality is so sporadic and now that I cannot even get logged in successfully, I am not holding my breath that this will ever work. Our organization has been looking forward to using this functionality since information was published on the Roadmap almost two years ago, and I don't want to go to executive management and tell them we have to scrap the idea. That will just make my users hate Teams even more, and all the effort put in to configure our environment will be moot as users will shy away from using the tools we are trying to provide, and just use something else. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
MS Teams Meeting - Get Meeting Participants From Graph API
Hi, I’m looking to retrieve the participants of a meeting using the Microsoft Graph API. Currently, I use the calendarView API to obtain details of the meeting from a user's calendar. However, if a new participant is added during the meeting, I want to be able to see the updated list of attendees. I've tried using the onlineMeetings API with the endpoint onlineMeetings/{meetingId}, but this only provides details of the participants who were part of the scheduled meeting (basically participants present in the meeting in user's calendar). It doesn’t reflect any additions or removals of participants that occur during the call. I also explored the chats API with the endpoint https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/chats/19:meeting_Oxxx1@thread.v2/members, which gives me the current members of the meeting chat, but I need to get the list of participants present in the meeting. Is there another method to get a list of all participants in a meeting? Prasad_Das-MSFT Vaibhav-MSFTWhat’s New in Microsoft Teams | December 2025
As 2025 comes to a close, I want to thank you all for being part of the Microsoft Tech community! Your suggestions and feedback have been incredibly impactful as we’ve continued working toward our goal of making Teams smarter, more secure, and easier to use. In 2026, you can look forward to new ways to collaborate and do more, with Teams as the platform where people and agents collaborate together. We hope you’ll keep sharing your experience with new Teams features in the new year! To wrap up the year and lead into the next, we’re announcing some new features that can help you customize Teams for the way you like to work and make your conversations and connections more secure. “Pop out core Teams functions into a new window” gives you the ability to organize the elements of Teams that you use most frequently however you want on your desktop. “Tenant-Owned Domain Impersonation Protection for Teams Messaging” analyzes the identity and domain authenticity of external users when they make their first contact with you, to make sure they’re not impersonating your organization’s domain. These and all the other features below are now available, so give them a try and let us know what you think. Best wishes for a very happy and productive start to 2026! Chat and collaboration Meetings, webinars, and town halls Teams Phone Fundamentals and Security Frontline Worker Solutions Certified for Teams Devices Chat and Collaboration Pop out your core Teams functions into a new window You can now organize your work environment to fit your needs by opening Teams chat, calls calendar, activity, and more in separate windows. This gives you the flexibility to multitask and organize your workspace the way you want. Whether you're catching up on chats while reviewing call history or managing notifications alongside your calendar, this update helps you stay productive without switching tabs. Simply right-click an app icon or use the app flyout to pop it out into its own window. Joining a private team by code now requires owner approval Joining a private team using a code now requires a team owner’s approval. This update gives team owners more control and boosts security by ensuring every new member is approved even when using a Join code. This helps prevent unintended or unauthorized access to private teams while keeping code-based joining convenient for those who are authorized. Meetings, webinars, and town halls Enhancements to Interpreter and multilingual meeting experience Spoken language is now automatically detected and updated across Interpreter, live captions, and live transcription when Interpreter is enabled, keeping all speech features consistent with the language being spoken – no manual setup required. When Interpreter is disabled, live captions and transcription will still work, but auto-update spoken language will not be available, and meeting participants will need to speak in the spoken language manually selected in the meeting settings to ensure accuracy. Additionally, a new “preparing” status provides clear visual feedback while Interpreter initializes, helping users know when the system is ready – especially important for multilingual meetings. Interpreter settings have also been improved with concise explanations for each configuration and field, making setup easier and minimizing confusion. Teams Phone Microsoft 365 Copilot chat in Calls app post-calling experience – Generally available The post-call Copilot experience for Teams Phone on desktop and in mobile is now powered by Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. After a call ends, users can open Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat as a side panel in the Teams ‘Calls’ app to generate summaries, surface key insights, and get suggested next steps. By using data from Microsoft Graph and the web—not just the call transcript—Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat delivers responses that are more personalized, relevant, and actionable, helping users quickly move from conversation to follow-up. Compliance Recording ISV Support for Call Queues in Microsoft Teams Phone Teams Phone now supports third‑party ISV compliance recording at the call queue level, giving organizations a simpler and more consistent way to meet regulatory requirements. Recording is applied at the queue—rather than per individual calling representative—so every call routed through that queue is automatically captured by the organization’s chosen compliance solution. This approach is especially useful for large enterprises and dynamic support teams where calling representative membership frequently changes. Admins can apply a single queue-level policy to ensure all incoming calls are recorded compliantly without managing individual calling representative user settings. Learn more. Fundamentals and Security Tenant-Owned Domain Impersonation Protection for Teams Messaging Own Domain Impersonation Detection in Teams identifies if an external user comes from a domain that is impersonating the recipient tenant's own domains during their initial contact with an enterprise user via Teams messages. This helps to protect users from bad actors spoofing tenant domains by analyzing sender identity and domain authenticity in real time, alerting users to suspicious activity and reducing phishing risks across messaging. Frontline Worker Solutions Frontline Hub Say goodbye to scattered tools and fragmented workflows. Frontline hub brings everything you need to deploy, manage, and monitor frontline Teams experiences into one streamlined destination—now available on the manage frontline teams page in the Teams Admin Center. With dynamic recommendations tailored to your deployment journey, frontline hub helps you deploy faster, simplify management, and deliver connected experiences that empower your frontline workforce.
