How to set Chat tab as default when starting teams
Good morning. I'm an IT contractor with M365 admin access at all of my clients who use it. I started using the new MS Teams because I am able to log into multiple accounts at once, but when I switch between clients they each default to different tabs. One defaults to chat, another defaults to teams which, for that client is a blank screen, and I wait for it to load then I realize I'm on the wrong tab (every single time, so annoying,....) I switched back to classic teams and I noticed that when I started Teams for these two clients they default to those same respective tabs when loading. This is better because I am able to load that other client once and switch to the chat tab and just keep it open, but new teams keeps loading the Teams Tab. I'm hoping that if I can change the default tab in classic Teams it'll change it in new Teams. Why are these two clients different and is there any way to change it? Thanks!Update: You can now control Teams Meeting Recording expiration notification emails
Hey Teams community, We've heard the feedback. For admins and users managing a high volume of meetings, TMR expiration emails can pile up fast. We've been working on giving you control, and that control is now here. What's new Tenant admins can now use a PowerShell cmdlet to suppress Teams Meeting Recording expiration and deletion notification emails across their organization. Notifications stay on by default (no change if you do nothing), but if you'd like to turn them off, here's how. Prerequisites Latest version of SharePoint Online Management Shell (download here). Note, it's Windows-only, so you'll need a Windows machine or Azure Virtual Desktop SharePoint Admin or Global Admin permissions Steps 1. Connect to your tenant powershell Connect-SPOService -Url https://<your-tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com 2. Check the current value powershell Get-SPOTenant | Format-List *Recording* False = notifications currently on (default). True = notifications suppressed. 3. Suppress notifications powershell Set-SPOTenant -DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification $true You'll see a confirmation prompt — enter Y to proceed. 4. Verify powershell (Get-SPOTenant).DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification True means you're all set. No more expiration emails for your tenant. Want to turn them back on later? Just run the same command with $false. What doesn't change Recordings still expire and delete on the same schedule No per-user settings, no UI changes. This is purely a tenant-level admin toggle We'll keep monitoring feedback, and as always, drop your questions below.
Trying to get support in reseting Authenticator MFA
Hello! We are locked out of our tenant's admin center as our authenticator installed device has been reset by mistake. I contacted our call MS service phone number (211 18 13 880) in Greece, but the AI bot is unable to record the case as it cannot vocally identify the admin user account and domain of our tenant, finally it terminates the call. There is no direct contact email or phone to human support from the data protection team. How are we supposed to handle this case further? .Microsoft Entra provisioning Agent Error
Hello, I have deployed the Microsoft Entra provisioning agent in my organization, with synchronization configured from AD to Microsoft Entra ID. I am encountering an issue on the server where the Cloud Sync agent is installed: when connecting to Microsoft endpoints via a Squid proxy, I receive the error shown in the screenshot. The synchronization itself works perfectly, and the configuration status in the cloud is "Healthy." I frequently see the error shown in the screenshot (error code 12015), and I also occasionally encounter error code 12011. Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Could you please advise on how to resolve it? Thanks.
Microsoft Teams transcription language settings
Hi! With a Microsoft 365 Business Premium license and a Copilot license, I can use transcription during a Teams meeting by setting the spoken language to Auto Detect. However, the transcription is sometimes inaccurate. Is there a way to limit the language detection scope? For example, is it possible that I select only English and Chinese, and Auto Detect is restricted to those two languages instead of also attempting to detect languages such as Spanish or French ?Teams External Access vs. B2B Direct Connect vs. B2B Collab
I've received conflicting info regarding whether B2B Direct Connect and Teams External Access are the same thing. Last time I looked into this, they both seemed to rely on the 'Default External Identities' controls from Entra - they were two faces of the same coin. Now it's not so clear. Can someone clarify?Sole Global Administrator locked out — no working MFA method — need account recovery
I'm the sole Global Administrator of my Microsoft Entra ID tenant and I'm completely locked out due to losing access to my MFA device, with no other admin and no working alternate verification method. Account details: - User (UPN): email address removed for privacy reasons - Custom verified domain: apip.dk - Tenant ID: can be provided - Azure Subscription ID: can be provided What happened: My phone (with Microsoft Authenticator installed — my only registered MFA method) was destroyed. I know my password and secondary email, but: - Phone-call verification during sign-in does not connect. - I have a FIDO2 security key, but it is not currently enabled/registered as a sign-in method on this account. - There is no other Global Administrator in this tenant and no other active session I can use to self-recover. What I need: An MFA/authentication-method reset on my account so I can sign back in and register a new MFA method, or guidance on an alternative recovery path. Proof of ownership I can provide: - I own the custom domain apip.dk and can add/modify a DNS TXT (or CNAME) record to verify tenant ownership. - I can provide billing details for the subscription (card on file, recent invoice amounts, billing address) if needed for verification. Additional context: I recently updated the payment method on this subscription, so I'm concerned about a billing failure at the next payment date while this recovery is pending — I'd appreciate the account being flagged so it isn't suspended during this process. Please let me know what verification steps you need from me to proceed. Thank you, Andreas
Architectural Limitation: Move LBR from Gateway to Voice Routes for Shared Trunks
The Problem: Currently, Location-Based Routing (LBR) in Microsoft Teams is hard-locked to the root OnlinePSTNGateway object (e.g., via -GatewaySiteLbrEnabled). This creates two major administrative roadblocks: Derived Trunk Limitations: For organizations utilizing multi-tenant partner architectures and derived trunking models (such as AudioCodes Live Pro/Express), the underlying global gateway configuration is owned and managed by the provider. Because administrators lack root modification rights over these shared gateway objects, they cannot enable or configure LBR. https://imgur.com/a/RzTE4nu Managing gateways via the Teams Admin Center (Voice > Direct Routing > SBCs) results in restricted or failing LBR configurations. Rigid Global Enforcement: Forcing LBR as a strict hardware-level switch creates deployment roadblocks, such as entirely blocking unmapped or remote workers. This is overly restrictive in regions like North America, where strict anti-toll-bypass compliance is not a legal mandate (unlike regions like India). The Proposed Solution: Decouple LBR from the Gateway Object: Shift LBR evaluation away from the root hardware gateway switch toggle and allow it to occur at the Voice Route, PSTN Usage, or Calling Policy layer. Support Derived & Shared Trunks: This decoupling will instantly make LBR compatible with multi-tenant SBC models, allowing enterprises to manage geographic routing via distinct voice routes (which are already peered with gateways), bypassing the need for root gateway property access. Regional Flexibility & Compliant Enforcement: Enable regional flexibility so enterprises can bypass unnecessary toll-bypass blocks in regions where they aren't mandated (like North America) without breaking calls for "Unknown" network sites. Crucially, for heavily regulated regions like India, system-enforced policies should automatically lock LBR on to strictly maintain local country regulations without relying on manual overrides. Business Impact: This enhancement will unlock advanced routing flexibility for thousands of enterprises utilizing modern cloud-hosted and derived trunking architectures. It bridges the gap between legacy PBX design constraints and modern multi-tenant cloud voice management, significantly reducing deployment friction for global organizations.
