Controlling 'Files' location
Hi All, I'm trying to put some controls around where users are saving files within Teams as those that are not direct members of a Team e.g. management, can not find a Teams files. An easy example would be having a number of projects running, each with their own Team. Within Teams, their files are only viewable via Teams, and only by those within the Project Teams. Conversely, we have a SharePoint Hub with multiple Project Teams sites, and we can better control who can see what...all in one location. We make good use of SharePoint and I want to make better use of Teams but currently only use it for the chat/calls elements. I see that we can add a new tab within Teams and point that to SharePoint, great!. However I want to force staff to use this new tab (with its link to a SharePoint Document library) rather than uploading content to 'Files'. I notice that we can change the 'Files' policy with 'NativeFileEntryPoints' so that we can use a "a third-party storage provider"...seems a shame we can use the one we already have i.e. SharePoint. I have to be missing something here...Is there no way to redirect the 'Files' tab to a preexisting SharePoint location or just turn off the File tab altogether without the other impacts of using the above i.e. blocking OneDrive at the same time. Thanks for any input.
Additional permissions are required for FileBrowser when collaborating externally
Hello! I hope you can help. My colleague has access to an externally hosted MS Teams shared channel. They can collaborate within the channel fine, however when they navigate to the 'Files' tab and select a file (such as Word or PowerPoint) they are asking to provide additional permissions to the FileBrowser (shown in the screenshot below). Does anyone know what may be causing this? It's appears once a day or after a restart.How to Download Video Clip from Microsoft Teams Programmatically
I’m developing a bot app for Microsoft Teams, and part of its functionality involves handling videos recorded using the Teams widget(see screenshot attached). I am receiving a video clip link in the bot app's backend message. Where is this video file uploaded and how can I download the video clip using that link? I have attempted the SSO auth via Entra ID to fetch the auth token and attached it against the GET request to the video clip link as the bearer token. But still getting 401 errors? Need help and guidance in this matter. Thanks.
File handler configuration does not update
Hi team, We recently had an integration with Microsoft file handler. During the deployment of the application, we encountered some issues, so we updated the file handler configuration via the manifest file. Some users who installed our application still see the old file handler configuration and are experiencing problems because of it. They want to either update it to the latest configuration or remove it completely so they can continue their work normally. We did try to guide them to reset the file handler cache as in: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/file-handlers/reset-cache?view=odsp-graph-online But seems like only some of them got the updated config, while the rest keep getting the old one, even after 1-2 weeks. Do you have any advice on how to completely resolve this issue?Unable to download teams channel pasted image

Hello this is my first use of the microsoft teams community I would like to know if it is possible to have the versions of a document in column in the standard Teams view without going through sharepoint or open each document individually? Thanks in advance. Didier
Teams bot not working when deployed
I have developed a RAG chat bot with Azure OpenAI and Teams Toolkit for VSCode. When I run the app in debug it works perfectly as expected, the problem is when I upload it to Teams it only sends the welcome message, then error messages. I published it to Teams with "Zip Teams App Package", and uploaded the zip file there. I suspect there might be a problem with the manifest, but would be grateful for any other pointers that might cause this issue. This is what my manifest file looks like:
