Portal change
Why one earth is https://m365.cloud.microsoft/ and https://portal.office.com now redirecting directly to Copilot? What a stupid change. No one wants this. Users want quick access to their files and apps, which the old office portal would facilitate nicely. Stop forcing copilot on your customers.Primer: How to Use RBAC for Applications to Control App Use of the Mail.Send Permission
The temptation to use the Mail.Send application permission in scripts can lead PowerShell developers into trouble because the permission allows access to all mailboxes, including sensitive executive and financial mailboxes. Fortunately, RBAC for Applications allows tenants to control the access that apps have to mailboxes and other Exchange content. All explained here with an example script to test RBAC of Applications. https://office365itpros.com/2026/02/17/mail-send-rbac-for-applications/
create a select all feature for onedrive for android mobile
there exists no button or other feature that allows simple "select all" in the onedrive app for android mobile. this type of feature is standard amongst other similar products. the current state is to manually check off items one by one or tap, hold, and drag to the bottom. if a folder has a few hundred items, that is rather daunting. one cannot even download en entire folder at once by selecting the folder. for photos/videos, even adding them to an album doesnt help. there doesnt exist a way to download an entire album at once. again: having to tap each one or drag. the support online on the official MS forums with responses from official MS """experts""" is to press 'ctrl a' on the 'keyboard'. not very helpful and shows the flaws of MS "support". ty. EDIT: last night i DREAMT about having this feature implemented. Microsoft: this is your chance to literally MAKE SOMEONE'S DREAMS COME TRUE. please.
Where to start my discussion?
Hi all, I don't know where to seek help - I am currently overwhelmed by the sheer amount of hubs and discussions, and I don't know where the most appropriate forum would be to post my issue. Apologies if this is the wrong spot - and I would very much appreciate some pointers where to seek help. I am a long time user of Visual Studio and I have a subscription. I run a small one-man company. Some time in the past, my subscription moved over from my personal account to Azure. I don't recall what or how. This year, my subscription renewal came up, and as far as I can tell, I am registered somehow as two entities. I got two invoices, and paid twice for my subscription. As far as I can tell, I paid once via Azure, as a company, and once more as a person. These are hefty subscriptions. I've tried finding support via the many MS web sites and I rang all of the numbers I could find, and I've been bouncing around the MS phone system and listening to muzak for many hours. Each time I find a live person they forward me to someone else, who forwards me to someone else, and like a hot potato, I get passed around and around until the connection drops and I have to start over again. The issue seems to be that I am between the cracks. If I ring the Microsoft Store area, they forward me to 'the business'. If I am in the business area, they forward me to the personal area. Or something. The most help I received was from Hannah in Shanghai who is on Azure tech support. She was willing to listen to my problem, but could not help me, except to give me some phone numbers (which I had already tried in the past). I'll try tackling the phone system again. One of the invoices came from MS Singapore (Visual Studio Professional via Azure), the other invoice came via MS New Zealand (Visual Studio Professional via the MS Store I think). All I want is for one of the invoices to be refunded: I am a one man band and can only use one subscription. I have no idea why I was charged twice: in the past there was no Azure, and then a few years ago, Azure came on the scene, and I started paying Visual Studio Processional subscriptions via Azure. For some reason, somehow, the old, pre-Azure subscription seems to have been revived. I have no idea where to turn. Does anyone have some pointers for me? I don't need yet another phone number to ring - I've done that for hours. What I really need is a person who is able to interact with both MS entities that are invoicing me, and help me sort it out.
Microsoft Translator Conversation feature stopped working (“Unable to create new conversation”)
When trying to start a conversation, the mobile app (Android/iOS) shows the message: "Unable to create a new conversation. Try again." (Swedish version: "Det går inte att skapa en ny konversation. Försök igen.") About two weeks ago, the live transcription started to become very slow, with text appearing in large chunks instead of line by line. Shortly after that, the Conversation feature stopped working completely. We have tested this on multiple devices and platforms: – Android (several users, including myself) – iOS (tested by a colleague and a user we support) All users experience the same issue — no new conversation can be created. This function is used as a speech-to-text accessibility tool for deaf and hard-of-hearing users, so it is critical for communication support nationally in Sweden.What's new in Microsoft 365 Accessibility - July-September 2022
