Can the built-in "No account? Create one" link redirect to a custom sign-up page?
I'm using Microsoft Entra External ID with a built-in sign-in/sign-up user flow. On the Microsoft-hosted sign-in page, the "No account? Create one" link always redirects users to the default Entra sign-up page. I already have a custom registration page and would like this built-in link to redirect to my custom URL instead. Is there any supported way to customize the destination of this link in a built-in user flow? If not, could someone confirm whether this behavior is fixed by design? Thanks!
Teams Desktop – Notification area becomes unresponsive after first notification
Summary After the first notification is displayed following Teams startup, the notification area becomes unresponsive to clicks. This persists even after the notification itself has been dismissed, and is only resolved by force-closing and restarting Teams. Environment OS: Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200.8655) Microsoft Teams version: 26163.407.4851.7751 Steps to Reproduce Launch Microsoft Teams Wait for the first notification to appear Attempt to interact with the notification area (click to open/dismiss) Observe that the area is no longer responsive to clicks, even after the notification closes Expected behavior The notification area should remain interactive after each notification, allowing normal click interaction. Actual behavior The notification area stops responding to clicks after the first notification of the session. Interactivity is only restored after a full force-close and restart of Teams. Scope Issue is specific to Teams notifications; notifications from other applications on the same system behave normally. Issue has been reproduced on multiple PCs, suggesting it is not tied to a single machine configuration. Troubleshooting already attempted (no resolution) Clearing Teams cache Resetting the app Full uninstall/reinstall of Teams Has anyone else encountered this behavior, or is this a known issue with a fix/workaround in progress? Any guidance on additional logs or diagnostics I could provide would be appreciated.
Automatic initials are taking my business
Hello everyone, I'm a software developer, mostly based in Germany. I have a M365 Business Account and am using Teams as part of it. Since automatic initials, instead of generic profile pictures, became a thing, I'm constantly in a hurry to change my profile picture as soon as possible. This is because my initials are SS, which in the German culture is the abbreviation of the company responsible for the death camps during Nazi Germany. People are so upset about it that I even had customers not do business with me. They saw the SS initials in calls and thought I was using this on purpose to make a political stand, i.e. being in favour of the industrial scale mass murder of several million people. I'm not. So here is where my frustration is with Teams, which I'm paying for, and which is taking my business away with its stupid initials: I cant change the initials without changing my name I cant populate my picture to outside orgs preventing the initials from being shown This leads me to the incredibly uncomfortable situation that every time I connect to a new client, I need to discuss my distancing of the genocide 80 years ago before actually being able to commence a meeting. Not a very happy topic and as mentioned before I have lost business because of it. Is there please, any solution to this, that doesn't involve having to change my name? Kind Regards SebastianHow to Record Snapshots for Teams Memberships
A lawyer asked if it is possible to take a snapshot of Teams memberships (people who were members at a certain point). This isn’t something that every Microsoft 365 tenant will want to do, but good reasons no doubt exist for the request. In any case, PowerShell makes it easy to find the team membership data and record it in a CSV file or XLS spreadsheet. https://office365itpros.com/2026/07/03/teams-membership-snapshot/The Misleading Teams Remove External Chat from User View API
The Graph removeAllAccessForUser API is supposed to remove external chat messages from the view of a tenant user when the chat contains some objectionable material. Unless the documentation is erroneous, the API doesn’t work as advertised and the results are disappointing. All of which means that blocking content for external chats isn’t really possible. If someone gets to start an external chat, they can pump some horrible stuff into your tenant. https://office365itpros.com/2026/07/02/external-chat-api/What the DragonForce Attack Against Teams Is All About
Recent reports from security companies and others about an attack by the DragonForce ransomware group against a U.S. services company highlighted the use of Teams. It’s true that Teams was involved in this very artful attack, but the most critical point is that the network was compromised well before the attackers went near Teams. And when your network is compromised, all sorts of bad things happen. Stop account and other compromises and stay safe! https://office365itpros.com/2026/06/26/dragonforce-attack-teams/How to Use PowerShell to Identify Inactive Teams Channels
It’s common to find that tenants have many inactive channels in their Teams deployment. Becoming inactive is a natural side-effect of time eroding interest in the topics people discuss in channels. And if you don’t go looking for inactive channels, they’ll remain silently in place doing nothing except acting as a container for potentially obsolete long-over discussions. But we can find inactive channels with PowerShell. What you next is up to you! https://office365itpros.com/2026/06/24/find-inactive-channels/
