Streamline your contact center telephony with Teams Phone extensibility

Teams Adaptive card Textrun is rendering markdown
I am making bot alarm message using adaptivecard. It is important for me to print out the user name and email accurately. So I tried to use TextRun to prevent markdowns from being supported.(https://adaptivecards.io/explorer/TextRun.html) But there is a problem that textrun is being marked down on ios mobile, tablet. this is my adaptive card json. {"type":"AdaptiveCard","$schema":"http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json","version":"1.3","body":[{"type":"TextBlock","text":"**Microsoft Entra ID**","size":"Large","wrap":true},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"user 5","size":"Medium","wrap":true},{"type":"RichTextBlock","inlines":[{"type":"TextRun","text":"- ``Use `code` in your Markdown file.(~~hspark~~@aaa.co.kr)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- + First item(test'email address removed for privacy reasons)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- ** test12041432(test'''email address removed for privacy reasons)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- > test12041435(test''email address removed for privacy reasons)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- 1. adsfsdafsdf *{}*asdfadsf*_~ark~(test'''email address removed for privacy reasons)","size":"Small"}]},{"type":"TextBlock","text":"user 5","size":"Medium","wrap":true},{"type":"RichTextBlock","inlines":[{"type":"TextRun","text":"- ``Use `code` in your Markdown file.``(~~hspark~~@aaa.co.kr)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- + First item(test'email address removed for privacy reasons)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- ** test12041432(test'''email address removed for privacy reasons)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- > test12041435(test''email address removed for privacy reasons)\n","size":"Small"},{"type":"TextRun","text":"- 1ASDFASDFSADFASD asdfadsfsd *{}*adsfasdf*_~ark~(test'''email address removed for privacy reasons)","size":"Small"}]}]} I used \ to escape markdown on textblock, but there was a phenomenon where \ for escape was output together on mobile (Android, ios) even though it was properly rendered on pc. i want to know: Is there any way to output properly without markdown on adaptive card? PC, mobile, table should be supported in all environments. and I think it's a bug that textrun is rendered as a markdown in ios environment so please solve it. that's adaptive card json rendering exapmle pc: ios mobile: and escape \ example: mobile: pc:
Tools in Teams AI Library
Hello Team, In LLM we use tools like DynamicTool, DynamicStructuredTool to determine when to call which function and with what parameters. How to do the same using Teams AI Library? My Use Case: I want to find the intent from the user query and based on that intent further call the respective function/tool to perform respective action. How can I achieve this using Teams AI Library? I went through the samples mentioned here: https://github.com/microsoft/teams-ai/blob/main/js/samples/04.ai-apps/ but couldn't find anything similar.
Meeting Agenda permissions sometimes wok
Once a week or so I create a number of internal Teams meetings generally with the same handful of individuals. Before I send it, I add a few agenda items. Unfortunately, at least half of the time, I am the only one with permissions (come meeting time someone may point it out). Having to go through, reopen each meeting, go through Shared Locations to open the loop's web page, clicking on Share, then Loop Component, then Settings, then People you choose, and then reentering the same attendees is very time consuming. I believe I am creating the meetings the same way each time, but I can't figure out why permissions are set sometimes and not others. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas other than a reoccurring meeting?
Mouse button 'Back/Forward' not working in 'New Teams'
Though there are options to 'pop out' windows from Teams, Teams is a generally a single page app. As such, one of my most used features in 'Classic Teams' is switching back 'n forth between several 'tabs' I'm currently working with. Say I've got somebody on chat, but then have to quickly check something in Teams, then go back to chat. In Classic Teams this works just fine using the mouse's back & forward buttons. In 'New' Teams, this no longer registers any action at all. I assume the feature still exists, since left of the search bar there are still the back/forward UI buttons. But moving the mouse over for every time you need to switch back and forth is a lot slower and less intuitive than just using the mouse buttons. Current behavior: Mouse 'back'/'forward' buttons do not work in 'New Teams' Expected behavior: Mouse 'back/forward' buttons register the 'back' and 'forward' navigation commands as they did in 'Classic' Teams
Green Blocky Glitch on Shared Screen in New Teams Meeting
I have a user on New Teams that repeatedly has trouble with screens being shared in meetings by other people showing up as a Green Blocky mess on her end. So far we have cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled New Teams, updated graphics drivers, tested her internet connection (measured at 300Mbps down by 35Mbps Up and she is the only user on it) performed normal system maintenance (SFC, D.I.S.M, CHKDSK), and restarts galore. No luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.AI and Microsoft Teams: A New Era of Collaboration
With the latest wave of Copilot innovation, we are giving every channel, meeting, and community an agent that can collaborate with you and your team, acting as a virtual teammate. Throughout a team’s workday, agents will keep everyone updated on project status, run smarter meetings, draft useful content, stay on top of tasks, and provide timely answers to questions. Additionally, with tools like the GitHub app for Teams and the Teams AI Library, developers now have a streamlined way to collaborate on code within Teams and powerful resources to build and deploy agents faster than ever. Let’s explore how the addition of these agents and new Copilot skills help individuals and groups streamline their work in Teams.BUG: Teams "search"/"find" functionality totally broken with rich (formatted) text
Consider the following formatted/rich text comment: Test word1 word2 word3 Using "search"/"find" (either the global "Search", or the "Find in chat" function) will fail to match the comment when searching for either "test", "word1", "word2", or "word3". This is because buggy Teams just strips the formatting (instead of replacing the formatting with breaks), effectively glueing all words together in the index; searching for "testword1word2word3" (one word) DOES match the comment. 🤦🤦🤦
