No Tabs or Buttons Appearing in Teams
I just started a new Community in Teams. The only option I have in the tool bar is to upload files. Nothing to create anything new like folders. It's coming up that way on other computers and I've run out of ideas. Here is what I am seeing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ChuckWhat's new in Teams Free | February 2025

Transition (All Family Members) Skype to Teams
So we have a lot of families that are setup and using Skype to videocall disabled family members who cannot use a button or voice control. The equipment is usually donated so it is older, there is no one to maintain it, and there is no money to upgrade either. Very similar to TabletConnect.org which has now removed its instructions to use Skype and is only using FB messenger now. The number one complaint (time spent helping others) over the past few years is the login process, losing/forgetting the login, having to use MFA (people who dont actually have cellphones and dislike or are incapable of checking/using email). It has been getting increasingly harder to use for them. Of course if you have a Microsoft Team behind you shouldnt be a problem but if you dont!?! Everyone understands Microsoft bought Skype and kept the use free so that is a blessing. So on to Skype or find another solution for Families (kind of a Team, sometimes just as dysfunctional!). Key to the Skype functionality was the auto answer and start my video options under settings. Guess what, no such option with Teams. If we can get help to: find a method to make the unattended computer automatically answer calls/start video/unmute mic (should be easy enough for a Microsoft programmer right?) (no skype like option found so far) and move/migrate the family contacts lists "as they are" to Teams (Do they really have to export/import for each account, and redo the invites etc?) and not change the pc security behavior disabled member has to do nothing, no login to the PC as it automatic logs in from boot of the PC no Teams login (remembered and automatically logged in) then maybe a bunch of families will sincerely appreciate it and God's blessings / good karma will abound. Yes, I know as prior CISSP/CNE/MSCP/etc this flies in the face of security practices opening us up to hackers yada yada... But if so, then maybe we can keep existing computer configurations out of the scrap pile.... Yes, right, I know. Fat chance anyone cares. Teams (Free) is not Families (Free) With kind regards and hope for the families Rob
Channel limitation - Teams free
Hello. I've created a community on Teams free and I've reached a limitation of 5 channels. Everywhere site I've searched mentions a much larger limit (with the smallest one being 10 channels), but after only 5 I'm getting the message that I've reached the limit. Is this a new (lower) limit implemented recently for the free version, or do I have something configured wrong in the free version? I've searched in every setting and can't find anything that would cause the channels to be limited to only 5. Anyone knows?2024 Year in Review | Teams for personal use

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!
