Hackers keep getting prompting me for a code on authenticator
Hello, I'm noticing that I get a random prompt for a code on the Authenticator app whose location appears to be in the Netherlands. I'm under the impression that these hackers just try logging into numerous accounts hoping that their victims will unknowingly push on a confirmation number and let them in. Is there a way to help prevent this? I would imagine that preventing logins based on unusal locations would help stop it but would like to hear your take. Thanks!
Question About Events, Azure, Copilot and Microsoft widgets
Hello! I am overly enthusiastic to learn more about this company, and I saw three events I'd like to attend in person as I cannot do anything online, I apologize. Does anyone know if there really is this Microsoft event on March 6th in Redmond? If not where is it as It is not coming up on the list or I cannot find it. I searched for azure events and about three came up, but after I scroll and the mouse timer comes up, nothing appears, is anyone interested in describing more about azure technology to me and how it works? I'll never tell! My last question is there is an event bsides seattle, I'm so confused is it at a hotel and how do you register because it's not listed on this platform. I wish I could do the online events like this was training, but it's better to do things in person always because it's more authentic. I tagged this as avatar, if you do not know anything about me just my love of tech what would my avatar be?
How to prevent SharePoint “Members” from approving documents?
Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with the Content Approvals Teams feature in a SharePoint document library. I noticed that a user who is only a Member of the SharePoint site was able to approve a document, even though they should not have permissions to do so. The approval went through successfully, which is not the expected behavior. I would like to block site Members from approving documents and ensure that only a designated approver (or a specific approvers group) can approve items. I have already checked the Content Approval settings and Versioning Settings, but I’m not sure what I’m missing in the permissions configuration. My question: What is the correct way to configure the library or site permissions so that Members cannot approve documents? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Can we get more guidance and feedback on the moderation being done on the messages
I have been an active poster on the Excel forum but every so often my posts will just disappear. Sometimes our message will be there but an attachment will be missing. Sometimes messages disappear but then show up hours or days later. Can someone PLEASE give us some insight into what is happening. Is this an auto-moderator or actual person? Either way can we please get a message informing us that our message is being held or rejected and why. How are we supposed to learn if we get no feedback. I don't appreciate spending time re-creating a worksheet (because these new posters aren't even allowed to attach their excel file for us to see) and then create a formula solution, write up how it works and then just have it all disappear. Makes me think Microsoft doesn't really care for me to help. And BTW, can you please revisit the reasoning behind not letting new accounts attach files. Is it a space/size issue? or is it a security issue? if the concern is space/size then make a limit on the file size. Security issue, make a limit on file types. All this tends to do is force members to ask the user to post the file using a file share service like onedrive, but if they use another service it can be a much larger security risk.

Bookings Page not sending confirmation emails to customers
Hello, I am the main technician for my company's service desk. We have a Bookings page, but any time anyone books a time slot, they receive a message indicating that they will receive a confirmation email, but no email comes to them. In the settings, it shows the checkbox to send a confirmation email is checked. I have also looked in Exchange Admin and run a message trace and cannot find any confirmation email sent to myself or other testers. In Bookings, I have unchecked the confirmation email checkbox, saved, checked, saved, and tested - same result. Additionally, this Bookings page is only for internal users, and all of them are 'customers' with their full organization email address. In researching, I found that there was mention of the Bookings needing to have an Exchange account as a shared mailbox, which I do not believe we have - when I search the email that confirms for me that someone has booked with me, it is a long string of seemingly random letters and numbers with an internal domain address. I have also tried searching in Exchange Admin for 'IT' 'Service Desk' 'Service', and 'Desk', none of which have any results under Mailboxes (which would include shared mailboxes). Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Screenshot:Apps notification settings missing in Teams settings
Hello Teams Community, I'm facing a strange issue with App notifications in Microsoft Teams. I've already researched this and found nothing. I've opened a Microsoft case and I'm waiting for an answer but it's taking longer than expected. So, I'm turning to you for expedited help! Scenario: You're an administrator in Teams. You've applied a setup policy for a pinned app like Viva Engage. After the policy is applied and the tool is launched, users complain that notifications are either too frequent or not frequent enough. You direct them to the Teams Notification and activity settings to control app notifications. The users go to Teams notification settings but report back to you that the App section of Teams settings doesn't exist. Problem Statement: Microsoft explicitly states in their documentation that in order for the App notifications section to appear, you must first add an app yourself within Teams and get at least one notification. But relying on users to add an app, somehow create a notification, and then remove it, just to access App notifications is impractical and would never work. Desired Outcome: I'm looking for a way to bypass this prerequisite and force the Apps section to appear in the Notifications and activity section without any user action whenever an app is pinned in the Teams admin center with a setup policy. I'm hoping this can work with any app, not just Viva Engage. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Teams experts! -RobGraph API: summary field ignored for Adaptive Card message notifications/preview
Hello, Problem Summary When sending Adaptive Cards via Microsoft Graph API to Teams chats, the `summary` field in the message payload is completely ignored. This results in unhelpful generic notifications like "Card" or "Sent an attachment" instead of meaningful preview text. Environment - **API**: Microsoft Graph API v1.0 - **Endpoint**: `POST /chats/{chat-id}/messages` - **Platform**: Microsoft Teams (Desktop, Web, Mobile) - **Adaptive Card Version**: 1.5 Expected Behavior According to the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/chatmessage?view=graph-rest-1.0, the `summary` property should be used for: > "Summary text of the message that could be used for push notifications and summary views or fall back views" When sending a message with `summary: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue"`, I expect: - ✅ Teams notification toast displays: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" - ✅ Chat list preview shows: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" - ✅ Activity feed shows: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" Actual Behavior The `summary` field has **no effect** on notifications or previews: - ❌ Notification shows generic text: "Card" or "Sent an attachment" - ❌ Chat list preview shows generic text or first TextBlock from card - ❌ Activity feed shows generic text - ❌ The `summary` field appears to be completely ignored Minimal Reproduction Request Payload ```json POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/chats/{chat-id}/messages Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer {token} { "body": { "contentType": "html", "content": "<attachment id=\"card001\"></attachment>" }, "attachments": [ { "id": "card001", "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "content": { "type": "AdaptiveCard", "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.5", "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Critical Alert", "weight": "bolder", "size": "large", "color": "attention" }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Database connection has failed. Please investigate immediately.", "wrap": true } ], "actions": [ { "type": "Action.OpenUrl", "title": "View Details", "url": "https://example.com/alerts/12345" } ] } } ], "summary": "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" } ``` Steps to Reproduce Create a test chat in Microsoft Teams Obtain OAuth2 token with `Chat.ReadWrite` scope Send the above payload via Graph API Observe notification/preview in Teams client **Result**: The `summary` field is ignored, notification shows generic text. Business Impact This limitation severely impacts user experience for: - **Alert/incident notifications** - Users can't identify urgency without opening the chat - **High-volume scenarios** - Users can't triage messages efficiently - **Time-sensitive operations** - Critical alerts look identical to routine messages Our team manages 200+ incident notifications daily via Adaptive Cards. Without meaningful previews, users must open every notification to assess priority, defeating the purpose of notifications. Workarounds Attempted ❌ **Setting `summary` at message level** - Ignored when attachments present ❌ **Adding preview text in `body.content`** - Overwritten by attachment ❌ **Using different `contentType` values** - No improvement ❌ **Including fallback text in Adaptive Card** - Not displayed in preview ✅ **Only working solution**: Send plain text message first, then card separately (terrible UX) Questions **Is this a bug or by design?** If by design, why does the documentation describe `summary` as useful for notifications? **Is there an alternative mechanism** to control preview text for Adaptive Card messages? **Is this being tracked internally?** This seems like a fundamental limitation for bot developers. Full Reproduction Package I've created a complete reproduction package with test scripts and detailed documentation: - Test payload JSON - Bash/PowerShell test scripts - Step-by-step reproduction guide Can share via GitHub gist if helpful for the team to investigate. Request Please either: **Fix the implementation** to honor the `summary` field for Adaptive Card messages, OR **Provide an alternative mechanism** to control notification/preview text, OR **Update the documentation** to clarify that `summary` is not supported for Adaptive Cards This is blocking our production alert system deployment. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! ---The Chat Notification Badge That Won't Die
I know there's another thread on this, but literally none of those solutions worked, so I'm a starting a new thread. My chat notification won't go away. All of my chats are read. Here's everything I've done to fix this already (note- It's a corporate computer so I can't mess with the anti-virus): Signed out of the app every (desktop, web, phone) Restarted my computer Cleared the cache data from all 13 different locations Changed the setting to close the app when I shut down Closed it in the Task Manager Turned off all of my notifications Clicked on every chat I've received over the last week The only thing that seemed to maybe be the culprit was a very large company meeting and I was the last to leave. There was a lot of chat in that meeting, though I didn't participate in any of it. The reason I think this was when I went to log into to Teams from my browser, as I started to type "Microsoft Teams" I noticed in the suggested sites that there was a chat message from that meeting. So obviously I've left the meeting. I've deleted that chat. I've even left the teams channel that hosts those meetings. For what it's worth, I don't have any notifications on the phone app (android). It's just on the desktop and the web. Please, for the love of god, help. It's slowly driving me insane and I don't have the mental capacity to deal with anything else that makes me insane during quarantine. 🙂 *jk- I'm fine. It's a joke*
