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.
Microsoft Teams File Permissions: Why Can't I Remove Direct Access?
While working with files stored in Microsoft Teams, I recently encountered an issue related to file permissions that may affect other users as well. A file was uploaded to a Microsoft Teams channel, which means it is physically stored in the SharePoint document library connected to the Team. At some point, direct access permissions were granted to an individual user using the Manage Access feature. Later, when attempting to remove this direct permission, the option was no longer available. What Happened? The file's permission overview shows that the user has Direct Access (View Only) permissions. However, when opening the permission details, SharePoint displays the following message: "Grant access is unavailable because you are not the owner of this item." Although the file was originally uploaded by the user attempting to manage permissions, SharePoint does not recognize that user as the owner of the item for permission management purposes. As a result: The granted permission remains visible. Permission levels (View, Edit, Block Download) can be selected. The Remove Access option is missing. Changes cannot be applied because the user is not considered the owner.

My organisation have been facing an issue for few weeks on Microsoft Teams for iOS. If we open the app, go to Teams, icon, select a channel then go to file. you have the option to add a file or an image. If we try we get the folowing error All of our users we have tested with have this issue. Android seems fine... version 2.0.15 and 2.0.16. we have some mam policy but I excluded myself and the problem is still there. What's really weird is I can send an image in the chat section without any problem... so it's not an issue to access the file itself and on pc I can upload file no problem to the channel... Best Regards,Don't expire attached chat files | Show a warning.
Teams allows users to upload files to share with others in a chat. These files inherit the organization's sharing policy. So whether you use Share or Copy Link in SharePoint or OneDrive or you use Attach File in Teams, the same default policy is applied. The issue, what makes the Teams experience different from SharePoint / OneDrive, is that the message with the attached file persists in the chat. A file that was attached to a conversation two months ago appears to still be in the chat. However, the default policy blocks access to the file that appears present. Moreover, there is no method for the sender to alter the sharing policy using the Attach function. When this an issue, this is a HUGE issue. Suggestions: Actually attach the attached file and store in the recipient's Attachments folder. Don't use a paperclip icon that says "Attach file" for files that aren't actually attachments. Warn the sender that the attached file inherits the organization's 'Share with anyone' policy and may expire. Prompt the sender to alter the sharing link before sending. Put a timer on the attachment showing the countdown to expiration. After the expiration date, the file should be labeled "Your organization's sharing policy has expired access to this file". Add a button for the recipient to request access to the file again.
Transforming Microsoft Teams into a Project Management Hub
If you use Microsoft Teams only for chats and meetings, you’re missing much of what it can actually do. While Microsoft Teams is often seen as a communication tool, it can also function as a central workspace for managing projects - from planning and brainstorming to execution and documentation - all in one place. When combined with tools like Microsoft Planner, SharePoint, and Microsoft Loop, Teams can become a practical project management hub that keeps work organized and reduces the need to switch between systems. This article walks through a clear, practical approach to setting up and using Teams for real-world project delivery. Why Use Microsoft Teams for Project Management? Organizations often hesitate to introduce new tools due to cost, training effort, or resistance to change. Microsoft Teams offers a strong advantage: it is already widely adopted in many organizations as part of Microsoft 365. Using Teams for project management allows you to: Centralize communication and documentation Reduce tool fragmentation Improve team visibility and collaboration Leverage existing infrastructure without additional cost Instead of switching between multiple platforms, teams can manage conversations, files, tasks, and workflows in one place. Structuring Your Project in Teams A well-structured Team is the foundation of successful project management. Create a Dedicated Team Start by creating a Team specifically for your project. Avoid mixing multiple projects in one Team, as it leads to confusion and poor organization. Recommended channels structure: General (announcements and overview) Planning (timelines, scope, requirements) Execution (daily work discussions) Risks and Issues Documentation Onboarding Lessons Learned This structure ensures clarity and separates strategic discussions from operational ones.
attach file option not visible with bot joined call
I have created bot using azure and recall.ai When bot joins adhoc or schedule team meetings, it is appearing as an external user. While we have created bot email as well in azure AD. And I think due to this we are not able to see attach file option in teams chat when bot gets invited into the adhoc or schedule meeting
Teams Planner Duplication
Does anyone know if you can duplicate Microsoft Teams Planners for onboarding tasks? I am trying to create an easily replicable Teams Planner with links to files in Sharepoint folders, for example. I want to be able to copy this planner for each new hire and have a copy of all the files and planner tasks in the new copy. Any advice or expertise would be much appreciated!
