Chat window opens on top of meeting window when clicking on Teams icon in dock (MacOS)
When I'm on a Teams video call and I'm working on another app, if I click the Teams icon in the MacOS dock, it brings up the Teams chat window on top of the Teams video call window. So I have to minimise the chat window to see the video window. This is because there is a separate window for chats as for a video meeting (and yes I have checked my settings and I have selected that new chats and incoming notifications are opened in the main window, not a new separate window) I can't even resize the chat window so that even if it's on top it's small because of this window resizing bug. That would have been a nice workaround.
Teams Feedback for Meeting Recordings
Good Morning, Unfortunately, GCC Tenant users still can't post feedback through the feedback portal, so I am using this forum to post a suggestion for an improvement to teams. One gap I see is related to Teams recording notification, that I think is probably a universal challenge for most government Departments and Agencies and other sectors as well. Please see the suggestion below. Can you please add a feature to Teams that verbally tells users who join a Teams meeting via Teams or via the phone that "The meeting is being recorded," which will help with the blind attendees who can't see meeting recording icon or for the attendees that miss the icon all together. Additionally, since some people who are unfamiliar with Teams miss the meeting recording icon in the top right-hand corner and for the deaf attendees if there is an onscreen pop-up that says "Meeting is being recorded," which they would need to click "Ok" to affirm that they are okay with joining the meeting that is being recorded. Additionally, I suggest that when the meeting recording feature is turned on when you are in a meeting you have the option of doing an onscreen modal prompt that hides a majority of what is displayed until the click on the "Ok" button similar to when joining above. Just like when they join a meeting, I would also suggest that Teams does a verbal prompt telling the attendee, "Meeting is being recorded" for the attendees who are already in a meeting as well. If they do add this feature to the meeting then I would recommend that they could still centrally manage it through the Admin console to have it automatically be turned on for the whole domain, be self-managed by the organizer or have an option to have it disabled be default if that is what the admin elects to do. Thanks in advance for your consideration, Jim
How to Improve Security in Teams to Prevent Unauthorized Recordings and Anonymous Access?
Hello, We’ve faced multiple incidents in Microsoft Teams sessions where unauthorized AI recording apps were activated, and anonymous users joined. We’ve tried using Lobby Mode, restricting recording permissions, and blocking third-party apps via App Permission Policies. However, these measures have limitations, such as requiring constant monitoring of the lobby and users returning after leaving. Are there additional features, configurations, or third-party tools within or beyond Microsoft Teams (e.g., Teams Premium) that can provide robust security to: Automatically block unauthorized apps during sessions? Prevent reentry of removed participants? Enhance privacy while minimizing the burden on presenters? If Teams cannot address these, what alternative platforms offer better security for large 1-to-many sessions? Thank you!Anyone else intermittently losing the Immersive Space (3D) option off of the View menu?
Anyone else having this issue? I've been doing a lot in Teams Immersive Spaces. It has worked in New Teams for most of the year. I've demonstrated it in front of live audiences successfully for most of the year too. Until about two weeks ago. I was in front of an audience, went to show them how it works on a Business Standard tenant I've had for about 10 months, and boom, no Immersive Space (3D) on the View menu. I have all the right settings, the right licenses, and it has been working fine until now. It doesn't matter if I am doing a "meet now" or a scheduled meeting. Alone, or with others invited. I've made sure my version is up to date. I've removed and reinstalled Teams, I've tried it with other accounts, I've done a reset and a repair. I've rebooted the computer. I've tried it on other Windows 11 machines with Teams. I have an enterprise tenant, also was able to use Immersive Spaces in Teams, that also has this issue using the clients on my computers. It is intermittent. Some of my friends who tried it for me, can see it on the menu (including on the Mac), some can't. It often works once, then the Immersive Space (3D) menu item then disappears, and even a quit and restart of Teams won't bring it back. It does seem to be more dependable on the Mesh admin trial licenses than the paid for Teams Premium licenses for some reason. Not sure if that's a red herring, but I thought I'd mention it. Also, occasionally, the users I invite (if I do a scheduled meeting and not a meet now), will show up briefly as unknown, when they've had the right licensing for a while, but this disappearing menu item thing happens even with no one else invited. Anyone else having this issue with Teams? Have you found a fix? I've just really gotten people comfortable using the feature, and now it's not dependable.
Name - Job Title in Teams Meetings
Hi I would love a way to update on the video stream of a teams meeting to have the users name - title eg Joe Bloggs - Solution Architect. I work in a diverse organisation and meeting with different business units and different staff it would be very helpful to have their Name and Job title in the video not just their name. I know you can click on the user, then look at their profile but when you are in the middle of the meeting with lots of new people it would be handy to be able to see it easily.
Teams pulls up main window after switching application windows during a meeting
I hope I can explain this properly, please let me know if it isn't clear. OS: macOS Sonoma Teams version: 24277.3502.3161.3007 When I am in a Teams call, I will often need to temporarily switch windows to Chrome or another application. When I tab back to the Teams call, the Main Teams window will pop up on top of the call, which requires me to minimize it in order to view the call window. I haven't been able to find a setting that addresses this specifically. Simplified steps: Join a Teams call from the the primary Teams window or Outlook calendar Switch applications to something else - Slack, Chrome, etc. Click the Teams icon in the dock The Teams call will take focus The Teams main window automatically pops up overlays the call, hiding it Thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if there is anything I can clarify.How to revert UNWANTED Change to the Teams UI
Is there a way I can roll back changes to Teams UI with regards to the tabs on the left side? Recently the TEAMS tab was removed and now the TEAMS are grouped underneath the list of users in the CHAT tab and IMHO it sucks. It's like the Office Ribbon fiasco of a decade ago where MS just changes what it wants irrespective of what users want. So how can we undo unwanted damage to the Teams UI so we can return Teams to amore user friendly and desirable layout?The New Chat and Channels Experience
Since its inception, the Teams user interface has emphasize teams and channels for collaboration. But that's not how people work, and the new chat and channels experience emphasizes chats a lot more. This doesn't mean that channels are going away. They remain the foundation of teams and the right way to communicate and share information for ongoing use, but the change to highlight chats might take some getting used to. https://practical365.com/new-teams-chat-and-channel-ui/
