Inaccessible colour contrast for high text in Microsoft Teams in Dark mode on desktop
Issue: All highlighted text in Teams has poor colour contrast when in Dark mode on desktop. While some may be readable, none of the highlight colour options meet WCAG colour contrast minimums. How to reproduce Go to MS teams app on Win 11 and set appearance to dark mode. Create any default coloured text (this is white in dark mode) and apply any text highlight colour The result is inaccessible: it does not meet WCAG colour contrast thresholds and is very hard to read. Notes on behaviour On mobile (android MS Teams app) - the text colour changes to black which does meet the colour contrast minimum. This behaviour (illegible white text) on light backgrounds is also found on high contrast mode. This is different behaviour from MS word, which meets colour contrast minimum in a different way. Here highlight colours in dark mode are adjusted (e.g. the background highlight ffff00 --> is shifted to 393900 when dark mode is selected), and the text colour remains unchanged so there is enough contrast between the highlight and the white text colour. What happens next This needs a fix in make this accessible to users in dark mode so content can be read if another user has highlighted text. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I was unable to register my MS account on the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/answers/This is why you should switch to Windows 11
A lot a people criticize Windows 11 for bloats and what so ever but actually Windows 11 has great features such as Game bar (if you're a gamer), Phone link which you can send photos from your PC/Laptop to your Phone (works for both Android and Iphone) And best of all Task view which is very important because you can open Microsoft Word/Excel/Powerpoint while chatting on Microsoft Teams or Whatsaap. Windows 11 maybe bad but still it has great features.
Allow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.
Limitations of Microsoft 365 Copilot for Excel workflows?
I've been exploring Microsoft 365 Copilot for Excel workflows recently. It works well for simple queries, but I still find it limited when dealing with: - messy data cleaning - converting images/PDFs into structured tables - more complex data transformations Curious how others are using Copilot for these scenarios? Are you relying purely on Copilot, or combining it with other tools/workflows?EFS Certificate Lost After Format – Files Cannot Be Decrypted
Windows installation. I formatted Windows and copied the encrypted files to an external hard drive before formatting. After reinstalling Windows and signing in with the same Microsoft account that was linked to the original installation, the EFS certificate is no longer available and files cannot be decrypted. Error: "The specified file could not be decrypted" Command tried: cipher /d — returned ERR on all files Important detail: After the new Windows installed, I saw the Windows.old folder and permanently deleted it using Shift+Delete, thinking it was unnecessary. During deletion, some files showed an error saying they could not be deleted. I believe the EFS certificate (.pfx) may have been inside Windows.old — is there any chance it still exists on the drive since some files failed to delete? Can you help recover it? These files contain irreplaceable personal memories. Any help is appreciated. i really really need those files and many files as soon as possible if you know how please help me.
