Customize the Basic Approval Request
Is there any way that I can customize the Basic Approval Request in Teams? For example, at the top, it states Approvals. Can this be changed to state Acknowledgement instead? Is there anything else that can be customized just by using the MS Teams Basic Approval template?
Teams duplicates contacts until it maxed out at 15000
Hi, I have a weird issue with some users, Teams seems to be duplicating old Skype for Business contacts until it maxes out at 15000 contacts. I have been digging into it a bit and found out the location of the folder through Exchange powershell but I can't clear or delete it. Skype for Business is phased out and disabled in my tenant for a long time now so I couldn't do much there, I can't login to it through powershell. We've had Teams since like 2017 so I suspect this is a niche legacy issue popping up recently somehow. Manual deleting is possible through the browser environment but that is such a hassle because it keeps glitching if you delete per 100 and skipping pages and stuff, need to refresh constantly. Just a pain, it would take days. And no guarentee its not coming back either. See screenshots. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this? Thanks for reading, cheers!
Unable to unmirror camera on Microsoft Teams
Hello, I am currently unable to un-mirror any camera feeds that go in microsoft teams. The button and option is completely missing in the options. See pic below. What is even more baffling is that I did see this option there earlier but now it is missing. I am on a Mac running macOS Big Sur 11.6 and Microsoft teams desktop app is running version 1.6.00.19353. Why is this option missing and how can I bring it back?
Providing Early Feedback - Simplified Teams app bar 557169
How do we provide early feedback to prevent this from happening or requesting the option to disable this feature? If anything, I want Teams to de-simplify. Microsoft keeps going out of their way to hide things that are crititical to productivity. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=557169 I mean - generally - how do we get Microsoft to stop making things worse? It seems like the recommendation is to use the feedback button in the app; but by that time it's too late. Telling the 100+ people who ask me what Microsoft broke this week to use the feedback button is not helping avoid their distaste and distrust of this platform. This is why people are avoiding Teams and prefer text messaging and WhatsApp. We desperately need to increase adoption but Microsoft keeps obscuring features that lead to increased confusion. Where do we make requests to decrease simplicity and increase productivity?
Formal Complaint: The UX Failure of Microsoft Authenticator and Teams Guest Access
To the Microsoft Product & Engineering Teams, I am writing this not just as a frustrated user, but as a systems engineer and developer who has just spent several hours navigating the Kafkaesque labyrinth that is your current authentication ecosystem. The transition to a new mobile device while maintaining "Guest" access to an external organization (Rihter d.o.o.) has been an exercise in systemic failure. Specifically, I would like to highlight the following critical UX flaws: The Identity Paradox: Your system’s inability to gracefully handle a personal Outlook account acting as a Guest in an Entra ID tenant is baffling. Receiving the error "You can't sign in here with a personal account" while trying to access a tenant I am already a member of is a fundamental logic failure. Visual Inconsistency (The "Briefcase" vs. "Initials"): The fact that an account can appear in Authenticator as a "One-time password" nalog with initials, yet be completely non-functional for Teams until it is manually re-added as a "Work/School" nalog with a briefcase icon, is a UI disaster. The "Action Required" Loop: I was trapped in a cycle where the app demanded action but provided no path to resolution within the mobile environment. I had to resort to using a desktop browser in Incognito mode just to force the system to generate a valid QR code for the new hardware. Mandatory Hardware Security (Passwordless): Forcing users to implement device-wide PINs or biometrics on their private hardware just to use the "Approve" notification feature is overreach. There should be a clear, frictionless fallback to TOTP codes within Teams without degrading the entire app's functionality. App vs. Web Desynchronization: It is unacceptable that a web browser (in Desktop mode) can successfully authenticate a session while the native Teams app on the same device remains stuck with stale tokens and cached AADSTS90023 errors. As someone who designs low-level architectural specifications (DREL), I find the lack of interoperability and the "black box" nature of these errors (like AADSTS90023) to be a significant step backward for professional productivity. I hope this feedback reaches someone who prioritizes user flow over bureaucratic security layers.

When I set up an intranet for our companies in SharePoint alone, I always create them as a Team site (we have over 200 companies in one tenant). In SharePoint I use dynamic groups "All-Users-Company" so users in each company have access by default. BUT... when they open Teams, they can't see their company's team unless they're added as a member of the site. I would love if Teams would "see/add" users from a dynamic group in SharePoint so they automatically have access to their own Teams site as well - is this possible? 💫🤗💫💫💫
