Feature request: "AFK" status whilst on call
We would like to use Microsoft Teams calls as a continuously open call for long periods of time whilst working remotely as a team. However the current inability to visually see on the call screen whether another attendee is at their keyboard, without everyone having their cameras on all the time (which eats a lot of bandwidth) limits our ability to do so. I would like the ability to have an "away from keyboard" status, similar to the "raise hand" status, that can be set by each attendee when they step away from their desk/keyboard to grab a drink or take a comfort break. This could either be implemented by: adding a new group in which "raise hand" is one option, and "step away" is another adding a new option along the tool bar specifically for "step away" The only way to do this currently is to create another meeting (with yourself) and join that meeting so that you appear 'on-hold' within the previous call. This is very tedious to implement for every attendee involved.
Allow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.
Cross-Tenant Shared Meeting Room Spaces
We have two M365 tenancies under our group. We need to allow users from both tenants to use Meeting room resources (book rooms, use calendars etc..). Is this just about configuring Exchange OR Sharing in EXO or do we need anything beyond that to facilitate Teams meeting room resource sharing? Would we also need to sync these meeting room objects across tenancies to allow users to see them in GAL etc.. ? Thank you!
MacBook Pro TouchBar's not working in meeting with new teams
Hello, I have a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. With old version of Teams, Touch Bar work in meeting but when I install a new version of teams (business) my Touch Bar not work. I have clear the cache, delete and reinstall Can you help me with a problem? Thank you1:1 meeting notes keep getting lost. I need a better system
So we have about 40 managers who are supposed to do weekly 1:1s with their reports. Most of them take notes in random OneNote notebooks and Ive even seen some use Teams chat as some pseudo-notebook. Is there anything that lets people take notes inside the actual Teams meeting and keeps those notes attached to that meeting in Teams?
Teams users cannot sign in if using personal account
Anyone have any luck with this? Know of a work around? Anything know if this is a known issue and if a fix is on the way? Once again Microsoft Support has lived up to my expectations so I'm reaching out here. Create a meeting invite link and share with a bunch of people. When clicking on the link the user is presented with options to download Teams, use the web or open with the Teams App. This applies to the Teams App link. Users with business accounts, and users who join as guest work without issue. On the join meeting window there's a link to sign in for a better experience. Clicking this link show a signing in page either indefinitely or for a while and reverts back to the join meeting window. It appears that signing in to a Teams meeting with a personal account (Outlook.com, Gmail) simply is not supported. If this is the case I would expect a message to say this but I suspect this is a bug in Teams.
"None" option missing from Teams background options
Hi, Our teams "none" background option is missing. Forcing users to use a background or the blur backgrounds. I have tried to revert back to classic teams to see if that is a fix, but I am unable to toggle it off and it takes me to download the classic teams which is just the new teams download. I do see this message "Your org sets background to blur unless something else is selected" when trying to update the background in a call. We are not disabling this option as an organization. And I can switch to other backgrounds.Dropped from meetings
