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/
Cannot Create Conversation on multiple ios and android devices with translator app.
Our schools heavily use the Microsoft Translator application on iOS and Android devices. Starting 10/2 all devices have started receiving the following error message "Cannot create a new conversation, please try again". This has been tested on iOS and Android devices and on multiple networks to verify the issue isn't related to filtering / firewall rules. Application has also been uninstalled / reinstalled and still receive the same error. It's clear this is affecting lots of customers yet we can't get any response from Microsoft on the issue. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5580071/microsoft-translator-conversation-feature-stopped?comment=question#comment-2261689Microsoft 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.
M365 Copilot Android Application Not Working
I am using a Samsung S24 FE phone, and the Microsoft Copilot app is not working. When I open the app, I only see a black screen. I cannot open any menus. I cannot create or search for anything. There is only an empty home screen with dead buttons. I cannot sign out of my current account, nor can I figure out which account I am signed into (it logs in automatically). Here’s what I have already tried, but the issue persists: Enabled all permissions in the app settings. Deleted and reinstalled the app. Cleared the app cache and reopened it. Cleared the app data and reopened it.Open shared Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files on Android devices without a Microsoft account
Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! My name is Juan Karmy and I’m a Product Manager on the Office team. Back in March, we announced Anonymous file sharing for iPhone and iPad. I’m excited to announce that we are now extending Anonymous file sharing to Android. Note: Files shared using an Enterprise account will still require recipients to sign in. Others can now open files you share with on Android devices without being signed into a Microsoft account We're extending the ability for recipients of shared files using their personal Microsoft account to open and view them in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Android without signing in. To make edits or leave comments, they will still need to sign in with a Microsoft account. This means that you can now confidently share documents, worksheets, and presentations, from your personal Microsoft account, and make them available for review with others while giving recipients an effortless way to open and view the content on their mobile devices. How it works Make sure you are signed into your personal Microsoft account. Open a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file that you want to share. Select Share > Link settings (the gear icon in the top-right corner), ensure that either the Anyone with the link can edit or Anyone with the link can view option is selected, and then select the Apply button. To share the link with others, type their email address in the Share dialog box, and then click the Send button, or click the Copy link button and paste it in a message created using an app such as Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Teams. Note: Choosing the Anyone with the link can view setting will allow users to view the content of the file but not edit, even if they are signed in. When recipients open the link you shared with them, they'll be able to open and view the file even if they're not signed into the app. Availability File recipients, running Version 16.0.18827.20066 or later, will be able to open files anonymously using Word, Excel or PowerPoint on their Android devices. Note for our users in China: The use of our iPhone, iPad and Android apps is subject to the Personal Information Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, including opening files anonymously. For more information, please visit: https://personalinformationprotectionlaw.com/ Feedback We’d love to hear from you!
