Turn GitHub notifications into code with GitHub Copilot in Microsoft Teams
GitHub can now bring repository updates into a channel, group chat, or private chat. When an update needs action, reply to the notification and @mention GitHub with the task you want GitHub Copilot to carry out. GitHub Copilot uses the issue or pull request linked in the notification and the conversation in the thread to understand the task. It can reproduce a bug, run tests, implement a fix, and prepare a pull request for review. Turn an issue notification into a pull request If the player doesn’t load, open the video in a new window: Open video For a bug report, the workflow starts in the notification thread: A GitHub Issue notification arrives in a Teams channel with a link to the reported bug. You @mention GitHub to investigate the issue and prepare a proposed fix in a pull request. The team reviews the pull request, iterates with GitHub Copilot, tests the proposed changes, and decides whether to merge. Starting from the linked issue and thread lets your team delegate the work to GitHub Copilot without rebuilding the request from scratch. The same workflow can be used to implement a feature, expand test coverage, update documentation, and more. Product and engineering teams at Microsoft are already leveraging the GitHub app in Teams to build products today. Get started Explore the new GitHub app in Microsoft Teams (previously called GitHub Notifications). If you already have GitHub Notifications installed, update the app to the latest version. The legacy GitHub app will be renamed “GitHub (deprecated)” and retired on November 16. Learn more at teams.github.com! Turn the updates your team follows into code your team can review.
Can I use forms inside Teams to automate surveys at intervals?
I’m trying to set up a few recurring surveys for things like monthly pulse checks and occasional employee feedback, ideally without someone from HR having to remember to send them out every time. I know Forms works inside Teams, but I’m not sure how far the automation goes. Can you schedule the same survey to go out every month or quarter, send reminders to non-responders, and keep the results together so you can compare them over time? Has anyone built a decent setup for this?The New Unified Events Experience in Microsoft Teams: Webinars & Town Halls in One Place
Hi everyone 👋 Microsoft has redesigned the Meet app in Teams into a new unified Events app. Webinars, town halls and custom events now share a single workflow for creating, discovering and managing events. I recorded a step-by-step video walkthrough, and I'd like to share the key points here for anyone planning the transition in their organization. 🔍 What's new • Discover tab: attendees, presenters and organizers can find upcoming events, register, and watch past recordings without relying only on calendar invites • Manage tab: a central hub to create, edit and track events across every stage • Templates: schedule webinars, town halls and custom events faster • Create from scratch: custom events follow Town hall policies for broadcast-style events and Webinar policies for collaborative ones • Event landing pages with integrated Q&A and Polls • Scheduling from shared and delegate mailboxes ⚙️ Admin & licensing notes • Existing Webinar and Town hall policies continue to apply, and no admin action is required for the rollout • Since April 1, 2026, several event features that used to require Teams Premium are included in Teams Enterprise • Events with up to 3,000 interactive attendees are supported; larger events (up to 100,000) require an attendee capacity pack • Teams Live Events was retired on June 30, 2026, so town halls are now the way to run large broadcast-style events 💬 I'd love to hear from you: • Have you already moved from Live Events to town halls? • Which do you use more in your organization, webinars or town halls? • Any tips or gotchas from your rollout? Thanks for reading, and feel free to share your experience in the replies! Giuliano De Luca Solutions Architect | Microsoft 365
Shared Channels: @Channel mentions fail to trigger activity notifications for team-shared members
Hello everyone, I am facing a persistent issue regarding notification behavior in Microsoft Teams Shared Channels that I hope someone can clarify or help with. Scenario: We have a Shared Channel that is shared with multiple teams (e.g., 17 teams in total). Note: I know that this way of communicating is not the recommended way, but we are not allowed to use any Viva products etc. Users accessing the channel are members of those shared-in teams, but they are not listed as direct individual members in the Shared Channel's own member list. Users have their channel notification settings correctly configured to receive notifications (e.g., "All new posts" or standard banner/activity settings). The Problem: When someone uses a channel mention (e.g., @ChannelName) in this shared channel, the users who have access via the team-sharing mechanism do not receive any activity feed notifications. The workaround/oddity: They only receive the activity notification if we explicitly add each user as a direct individual member to the Shared Channel. The dilemma: Since the channel is shared with 17 teams, adding hundreds of users manually or via scripts as direct members creates massive redundancy and clutters the UI (users see the team and the channel redundantly). Inconsistency: We noticed that in older shared channels created some time ago, channel mentions worked across team shares without needing direct individual memberships. It seems newer shared channels behave differently and strictly require direct membership to trigger activity feed notifications for @Channel mentions. Questions: Is this a known design limitation or a recent backend change in Microsoft Teams for newer Shared Channels regarding how @Channel mentions resolve indirect team members? How are organizations supposed to utilize @Channel mentions effectively in large-scale collaborations involving multiple shared teams without bloating the direct membership list? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!What's New in Microsoft Teams | August - September 2026
A quick note before we get into it: What's New in Teams is shifting from a monthly to a quarterly rhythm. You'll hear from us next in December, March, and June, and each edition will round up everything announced and released over the full quarter. One post, one fuller view of what's new. Two investments shape where Teams is heading, and you'll see both in this quarter's releases: AI transforming teamwork with agents as part of the team, and a simpler, smarter, more secure foundation underneath it all. AI in Teams is showing up in the flow of your work. Teams Phone Agent brings that to your phone line, helping callers with common requests in more than 60 languages and routing them with context attached, so a missed call turns into a next step instead of a lost one. Context carries forward, too. Video recap turns a meeting you missed into a short, narrated highlight reel, so what a meeting decided outlasts the conversation itself. And protection for everyday collaboration is always top of mind. The new Security Detection Report brings detections such as impersonation and malicious URLs into one view in the Teams admin center, so admins see the whole picture in one place. Read on for all the latest updates!

Exciting news - alongside pinning your posts/messages, you can now save them too. All your saved messages will be neatly organized under the "Saved" menu within Teams, right below the "Followed Thread" section. Look out for a special icon marking your saved messages for easy reference. And the best part? You have the flexibility to unsave messages whenever you wish. Stay organized and never lose track of important information with this handyHow to automatically record all Teams meetings?
I have subscribed to a Teams Premium trial and added the license to a user's account. As global admin, I'm trying to enable automatic recording on ALL Teams meetings for that user. I don't want the user to need to remember to record meetings. In the Teams Admin Center, I open the Global (org-wide default) meeting policy, but there is no option here to automatically record all meetings. Instead, the only option is to enable optional recording, but users still have to manually start recording or enable recording before the meeting starts. If the user forgets to select one of these options, the meeting is not recorded. In the Teams Admin Center, I have created a custom meeting template called 'Coaching'. There is an option called 'Record meetings automatically' with a toggle. That option is disabled. When I hover over it, it says, 'Locked by another option's default value setting'. There is no hint or documentation about which other option is conflicting with the 'Record meetings automatically' option. How do I record all meetings automatically for a user? It seems so simple in Zoom!
Cannot deploy Custom backgrounds for Teams in VDI environment
We have detected (or so we think) a malfunction in Teams on VDI when attempting to deploy Teams backgrounds that should be available to users for their video calls. The only article that documents how to do this is the following: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/custom-meeting-backgrounds It clearly states that the path where custom Teams backgrounds are stored is in the user profile, specifically in the folder: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds\Uploads Expected Process The process is not direct, but it is straightforward. Using a script, a UUID is generated, which is used to create two image files (JPG, BMP, or PNG format, depending on the original image). For example, if the original is a JPG: UUID.JPG UUID_thumb.JPG These two files are copied to the path above, and on the next Teams session startup they should be available to the user. ✅ This works correctly in physical (non-VDI) environments. Tested many times without issues. What We Have Observed in VDI Even when the file pair is copied to the correct path within the user's FSLogix profile, the image does not become available in the Teams client — even after restarting Teams multiple times or even the VDI session itself. After each restart, the files are confirmed to be persistent and located at the correct profile path.[ %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Microsoft\MSTeams\Backgrounds\Uploads folder contents] When a background image is added manually through the Teams UI, a folder is created in OneDrive called "Microsoft Teams User Custom Video Backgrounds". If additional images are manually added to that OneDrive folder, they do not appear as available in Teams. This leads us to believe that the upload process performs additional operations in the registry or other configuration locations beyond simply copying the file. A ProcMon capture was performed, but after an initial superficial inspection, it was not possible to determine exactly what is happening under the hood.
