Better way to view employees' schedules?
Howdy, y'all. I've just been hired into a new office, and as the only member of Gen Z to be employed, I've been summarily appointed to the media committee, which includes thinking through the ways that we communicate with one another effectively. The issue that's driving me up a wall at the moment is our calendar management. We have an Excel sheet saved as a tab within one of our Teams channels that lists every employee's status in the office for every day of the year. This is helpful for a couple of reasons: We work in healthcare and must have one person on-call at all times. There are two on-call shifts per day; one from 8 AM to 8 PM, and one from 8 PM to 8 AM. There must be a minimum number of staff people working during regular weekdays (that is, aside from the on-call staffer, we must also be able to see that there are at least a couple people aside from the on-call person who are in the office during a regular week, so that the office isn't completely empty around Christmas and so on). For this, we usually look at the row for the day of the month and the column for the employee's name, with the intersecting cell being filled in with the time of their shift. In addition to the two on-call shifts per day, one person will be designated as "substitute" for one 24-hour period. If either the AM or PM on-call person call out, the substitute will clock in to replace them. Further, there is a staffer who is designated as the support member for an entire week's time. Should the on-call person have questions or concerns, the support member will be able to answer their call at any time during the week. We typically have it color-coded so we know by taking a glance at the day who is on AM, who is on PM, who is substituting, and who is backup. This is an example: Staff A Staff B Staff C Staff D Staff E Staff F Staff G Friday 8/1 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8p-8a 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Saturday 8/2 OFF 8a-8p 8p-8a OFF OFF OFF Sunday 8/3 8p-8a OFF 8a-8p OFF OFF OFF Monday 8/4 OFF 8p-8a OFF 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Tuesday 8/5 8a-8p OFF OFF 8p-8a 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Wednesday 8/6 8a-4:30p 8p-8a OFF 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p KEY: AM on-call PM on-call Support Obviously, this way of keeping track of things is archaic and has led to chaos. Is there a better way somewhere in Teams/Outlook/SharePoint calendar, or in some other application that can connect to this workspace? We run basically everything in our department out of TeamsAnyone else intermittently losing the Immersive Space (3D) option off of the View menu?
Anyone else having this issue? I've been doing a lot in Teams Immersive Spaces. It has worked in New Teams for most of the year. I've demonstrated it in front of live audiences successfully for most of the year too. Until about two weeks ago. I was in front of an audience, went to show them how it works on a Business Standard tenant I've had for about 10 months, and boom, no Immersive Space (3D) on the View menu. I have all the right settings, the right licenses, and it has been working fine until now. It doesn't matter if I am doing a "meet now" or a scheduled meeting. Alone, or with others invited. I've made sure my version is up to date. I've removed and reinstalled Teams, I've tried it with other accounts, I've done a reset and a repair. I've rebooted the computer. I've tried it on other Windows 11 machines with Teams. I have an enterprise tenant, also was able to use Immersive Spaces in Teams, that also has this issue using the clients on my computers. It is intermittent. Some of my friends who tried it for me, can see it on the menu (including on the Mac), some can't. It often works once, then the Immersive Space (3D) menu item then disappears, and even a quit and restart of Teams won't bring it back. It does seem to be more dependable on the Mesh admin trial licenses than the paid for Teams Premium licenses for some reason. Not sure if that's a red herring, but I thought I'd mention it. Also, occasionally, the users I invite (if I do a scheduled meeting and not a meet now), will show up briefly as unknown, when they've had the right licensing for a while, but this disappearing menu item thing happens even with no one else invited. Anyone else having this issue with Teams? Have you found a fix? I've just really gotten people comfortable using the feature, and now it's not dependable.How to Create a Teams Avatar from a Photo
I’ve used Teams avatars for a couple of years but never liked them all that much. The chance to create a Teams avatar from a photo seemed liked a great idea. Alas, the results obtained from uploading a professional headshot photo or from an image captured by the PC’s camera didn’t live up to expectations. The avatar is closer to my reality, but not by much. https://office365itpros.com/2025/01/03/create-a-teams-avatar-from-a-photo/
Issue with Microsoft Mesh App in Teams
Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing issues with adding the mesh app into Teams? When trying to add to a meeting or channel, I press add and it brings up a blank screen. This happens in the new / old windows client as well as the web app. I have no issue in accessing the mesh windows app, and have had several meetings through here, as well as on a meta quest device.
Teams No Longer Showing Options to Choose a Background or Blur the Background
Windows 10 22H2 Teams v1.7.00.3653 Tried clearing Teams cache Tried uninstalling/reinstalling Teams completely (removed via Programs and features the went into my user profile and cleared the junk left behind) Tried Teams Classic, Teams for Work or School, New Teams, Old Teams... I even tried Teams Premium. I also tried making changes within the Teams admin console for Microsoft 365. All of these were equally (un)successful... Tried Windows updates Backgrounds used to work. A user at my organization reported the issue last month. I tested and found that I have the same issue. I have no idea when the issue occurred and I can't tell you if it was an update that caused it. I even tried populating the New Teams backgrounds location with a background from the Microsoft website. Without the option available to select it, there is no way to add it. Also per my comment at the top, I do not have the option to blur the background. Is there a registry entry that maybe got lost that I can recreate or some files and or folders that I can dump into the Teams files within AppData? I am grasping at straws. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
