I work at a rather large organization and we just switched to using Microsoft Teams. So far it has been great but what is driving me nuts is the Notification for new messages. I can't find it anywhere to turn this annoying sound off. When you have several coworkers all messaging you, I can't even wear headphones anymore it's gotten so bad. And you can't even turn it off? My options are, "Call, Mention, and Chat" , "All", "Off" How is these not separated? I would like it to be able to ring for calls but I don't need a BEEP every time someone messages me since I already get a banner and a flashing name. Please let me know if I am missing a setting somewhere.Solved233KViews38likes43CommentsAsk Microsoft Anything (AMA) Guidelines
An Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) is the same as an “Ask Me Anything (AMA)” on Reddit,or YamJam on Yammer. It provides the opportunity for the community to ask questions and have a discussion with a panel of internal and external experts on a particular topic. In order to get the best value out of this hour, here is an outline of how the flow of the AMA will go and some guidelines for etiquette. There will be a panel of Microsoft experts as well as MVPs on hand to answer questions about product and strategy. They will be introduced at the beginning. At the scheduled kick off time, an announcement will be made notifying group members that the AMA has started. Please respond to the initial welcome thread introducing yourself, but make sure you post your questions in a separate thread. Please read through the threads before posting. Your question may have been answered already. Be patient. The panel will try to get to every question, but some questions may go unanswered. Please be polite and follow normal Community Etiquette (see our Code of Conduct for reference). Any personal attacks, inappropriate language, or promotional content will be deleted. Please stay on topic. Discussions pertaining to other topics, products, or services belong in the appropriate group. If you would like to submit an idea for an AMA topic, please message one of the admins privately. When the AMA period is over, the group will remain open so people can review the content and continue to reply to existing threads, but do not expect a prompt reply. The moderator will create a summary of the AMA and share it to the community in the days following the event. Tips: Use the "Reply" function to reply to an individual comment. This will make the thread much easier to follow. You can hover over the “in reply to” portion of the comment to see the context. If you are receiving too many emails or notifications, you can change your settings by going to Profile > My Subscriptions.6.8KViews33likes0CommentsCannot hide gallery in "focus on content" or "full screen" mode
Hi There, Previously, when I selected "focus on content" on Teams, the gallery would be hidden. Recently, I reinstalled my laptop and found out that after "focus on content" is select, all the other attendants face would be hidden, but not mine. The following picture shows the screenshot of the Teams. This phenomenon also happens when I use "Full Screen". Someone knows how to solved it? Thanks in advance ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [update 1/28/2022]: A new Team v1.4.00.35564 has been released, and solved this issue. Please update your team.Solved35KViews31likes60CommentsDelay Send Feature on Teams Posts
Would anyone in this forum find it useful to be able to type a message in Teams (either 1:1 chat or a team thread), hit enter, and have that message not sent until the recipient's status is available? Ideally, this would be an option for which we could set a default (either on or off) and then toggle it for an individual message with a keyboard shortcut depending upon the message's urgency. Hopefully, it would be handled at the cloud level (not the local level like in Outlook) so that it is not dependent on the sender's computer being awake when the recipient's status becomes available. There is an idea posted for this in a UserVoice forum, but it does not have many votes yet. https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/18874141-time-delay-post In my own organization, the people I most frequently need to ping spend much time in meetings or on client calls that I would rather not interrupt, but it hinders my productivity too much to keep checking on when they will be available. If I send a message during their meeting anyway, there is too great a chance they will miss it. If anyone else would find this useful, can you please make your voice heard?Solved42KViews27likes28CommentsCompleting your profile & connecting social media profiles

How can I use my calendar invites in Outlook to automatically change my Teams Status to Do Not Disturb? I schedule out specific tasks in my Outlook calendar so I can plan and manage my day better & I would like my Status to be set to Do Not Disturb in Teams during these periods similarly to this "Focus Time" feature which MS have developed. I do not want to use this generic "Focus Time" term / feature as I like to set time aside to give my attention to a specific thing - it also helps me to remember what I should be working on and when. Any help would be appreciated as I know the "Show As" function within an Outlook Calendar invite you can use this to Change your Teams Status to Away or Busy, but annoyingly.....not Do Not Disturb.... :SSolved73KViews16likes14CommentsBackground effects missing in Teams Web version
Hello, Lat Thursday I have noticed that ALL background effects are missing form the Web version of Teams. That means no background blur or setting up some custom backgrounds. I have also heard that people who were running a custom background when the update went live now can't turn them off, because the whole feature is missing. Are there plans to bring that back? And if so when? There are plenty of people like me who work on Linux machines and for us the only way to actually use a camera blur was to use the web version of Teams. And now even that option is gone. Edit: It's back and working now. Thanks everyone 🙂Solved8.9KViews15likes18Comments
