Can upload file from Teams chat files to Posts but not to Shared
I was working on an Excel file shared in a chat with members of a small workgroup. When it was ready to share with the larger team, I navigated to the appropriate Team > Channel, created a Post, clicked on + > Attach file > selected the file (which had been modified recently, so displayed on the pop-up). The team lead asked me to save it in a particular folder in the team's files, so I navigated to Shared (formerly Files)... and did not see it. I could briefly see it if I selected the "In messages" filter, but then after a moment that bugged out and displayed the "Something went wrong" error screen. This behavior persisted (briefly visible file list, then error screen) even after quitting Teams via the task bar and opening it back up. I did not want to create a separate version (especially now that the original file was linked in the Post), so I tried a few different methods to get it into Shared. I tried copying a link, but couldn't figure out a good way to paste it into Shared. I tried pasting it in a new Link, but that preserved it as a link/URL rather than a file -- serviceable but awkward. I checked whether there was an easier way to do it by opening in the web version, where Files is still active rather than Shared (same behavior, except no "In messages" filter so I couldn't test that). I poked around in SharePoint but didn't see anything interesting. I tried uploading a copy from within Shared by pasting the filepath from the "Save a Copy" dialog in Excel... ...and that's when I noticed a possible cause of the issue: another member of the original workgroup chat had created the file, and it was living in her Teams chat files, not mine. I then had her try doing it by navigating to her Teams chat files and selecting her copy, and then hallelujah, it appeared in Shared. I was able to drag it to the appropriate folder normally. Ultimately, I see two questions: Why does the file appear when the "In messages" filter is selected, but not otherwise? Why can I add a file saved in someone else's Teams chat files to a Post, but I can't upload it in Shared? Bonus: any idea why the "In messages" filter caused an error message to display?
Removing Teams from a Specific User Profile via Script in Intune
Hi, Working on a process with using PowerShell to remove Microsoft Teams from a specific user that is not the primary user of that computer on multiple Windows 11 devices using Microsoft Intune. However, I need a script to make this happen. Can I get some help from the community on this? Has anyone else seen this before? Thanks, ZC46
Library switching removed
I just realize that the library switch feature is not available anymore in Teams (reachable from the main channel) We are now forced to open in SharePoint to access this feature. This is a lost of productivity for users who want to access other libraries in the site... I can't understand why this was removed. Is there a technical reason?

How does Teams create the edit history for an uploaded document
Hello, I would really appreciate some help in understanding how microsoft teams creates the edit history for new version of a document which is uploaded to it. Here is the scenario: I download an MS Word document from teams to my laptop and over the period of a few days, I edit that document. The word document did not have track changes switched on whilst editing and therefore does not contain any edit history. I then upload the edited document to Teams. Despite the word document having no edit history embedded in it, in the version history of the document in Teams it shows each of the edits I have made since I downloaded it with a date and timestamp of the date on which I uploaded it, rather than the date(s) on which I actually made each of the changes to the document. This suggests to me that the way in which Teams creates the edit history for the document is to run a compare of the newly uploaded document with the previous version stored on Teams and attribute all the changes to me on the date upon which I uploaded it. Is this correct? If not I would appreciate a description of how that document edit history is created by Teams. If there is an official Microsoft document which describes how this works then a link to that document would be great. Many Thanks for your help Bigbigblue
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 Teams
