Create event sometimes returns 201 but no Teams meeting link
Hello, I am creating calendar events through Microsoft Graph and setting them as Teams online meetings. Most of the time it works correctly, but very rarely the API returns 201 Created and the event is created without the Teams join link in the response. I have already checked the following: isOnlineMeeting is always set to true. The correct online meeting provider is being used. The issue is intermittent, not consistent. The same integration normally creates Teams meetings successfully. What I need to understand is: Why can Graph return 201 Created but still omit the Teams meeting link? Is this a known intermittent issue with event creation or Teams meeting provisioning? Is there anything I should check in the response, headers, permissions, or follow-up GET call to verify the meeting link was actually createdAllow Custom Recurring Meetings with Different Times on Different Days
Currently, Microsoft Teams only supports recurring meetings with the same time across all selected days. I wanted to set up a recurring meeting on Tuesdays at 3:00 PM and Thursdays at 5:00 PM, but this is not possible within a single recurring event. I was forced to create two separate events to accommodate the different times. It would be incredibly helpful if Teams allowed users to create recurring meetings with: Different times on different days More flexible recurrence rules (e.g., every Tuesday at one time, every Thursday at another) This added flexibility would streamline scheduling and reduce clutter on calendars.
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 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 OFF Sunday 8/3 8p-8a OFF OFF 8a-8p OFF OFF OFF Monday 8/4 OFF 8p-8a 8a-4:30p OFF 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Tuesday 8/5 8a-8p OFF OFF 8p-8a 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p Wednesday 8/6 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p 8p-8a OFF 8a-8p 8a-4:30p 8a-4:30p KEY: AM on-call PM on-call Substitute 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 TeamsTeams Revamps its Calendar with Outlook Components
The Teams calendar app is being refreshed in November 2024 when Teams takes on the calendar UI used by OWA and the new Outlook for Windows. The unified Microsoft 365 calendar experience is based on OPX and WebView and looks much better than the old Teams calendar. It makes perfect sense for the same UI to manipulate the same calendar data in both Outlook and Teams. https://office365itpros.com/2024/10/17/teams-calendar-app/
MS Teams / Nur-Sultan (Astana, Kazakhstan) timezone and city name isn't up to date
Hello, I have some problems in both Teams for Business and Personal Teams First of all, the city is called Astana, not Nur-Sultan (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/14/kazakhstan-to-change-name-of-capital-from-nur-sultan-back-to-astana).<br Secondly, on December 7, 2023, the Kazakh Ministry of Trade and Integration proposed that Kazakhstan switch to a single time zone in 2024. Specifically, Kazakhstan would uniformly apply the fifth time zone (UTC+5) across its entire territory. On March 1, 2024, the cities of Astana, Almaty, and Shymkent, as well as the following regions, will turn back the local time by one hour: Abai, Akmola, Almaty, Zhambyl, Zhetisu, Karagandy, Kostanai, Pavlodar, North Kazakhstan, Turkistan, Ulytau, and East Kazakhstan (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/daylight-saving-time-time-zone/interim-guidance-for-kazakhstan-time-zone-changes-2024/ba-p/4048963). Currently, the time zone for Astana is UTC+5, but in MS Teams, it still shows UTC+6. Please address this issue. Looking forward to your response Best regards, Nikita.

How to resolve QuickBook𝙨 BEX Error on Windows 11?
I am reaching out for help regarding a persistent issue I am facing with QuickBook𝙨 on my Windows 11 system. Every time I try to open QuickBook𝙨, I encounter a BEX (Buffer Overflow Exception) error, which causes the application to crash. Has anyone else encountered this issue on Windows 11? If so, how did you resolve it? Are there any specific settings or patches that I might be missing? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this issue is significantly impacting my work. Thank you in advance for your assistance!Hybrid Teams Meeting Location Not Updating/ Displaying both locations
Sometimes when I schedule hybrid meetings in Outlook (Attendees can join through MsTeams or onsite in a meeting room) using the room finder tool, even when I get confirmation that the resource/meeting room is accepted as reserved, I run into these issues: 1. The onsite meeting room added shows as invited under "required", but is not listed under "location" and I have no drop down options to add it. 2. The location field updates to including both MsTeams and the booked meeting room and both can be seen when you open the invitation: but in calendar/week view only the MsTeams option shows as location: Instead of like this: It happens randomly and only on occasion, but it prevents invitees from knowing there is a room booked they can join if onsite so I'm hoping to find a solution to make sure both locations show from now on.Calendar on Teams shifts appointments
Hello all! I noticed that when I select "Week" view on the calendar in Teams, it shifts my appointments by one day ahead. Below, I have created an appointment called "Veterinary Appointment" for Wednesday, May 1st. Upon changing the view from "Work week" to "Week", the appointment now shows under Thursday, May 02. Is this a bug or perhaps a setting in my Teams? Thanks! P.S - My guess is that "Week" view should really start with Sunday and not Monday. If it did, then my appointment would indeed be in the correct spot.
