Add Teams Chat Member API call inexplicably Failing
I have tried every possible permutation of this API call that I can imagine. Nothing works. I already started a thread on this, but now it appears to be glitched and I can no longer reply to message sin that thread for some reason. What can I do to contact Microsoft Support and speak directly to their API team? The responses I have gotten all appear to be AI generated and NONE ARE CORRECT. I really need help, from a human, that actually might understand what's going on here. Please help. "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember' for 'odata.type' is not valid for this operation." <- I am receiving this error despite the fact that we already have several users in this channel with that same type. This API call is intended to invite a user to an existing group chat. This should really be a very simple thing. 1. ALL users in the group chat already have type = '#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember' so the error message doesn't even make sense. 2. This IS a Group chat. NOT a channel. NOT a one on one chat. 3. The Inviter has permission to invite users to this groupchat through the frontend. (and in fact can do so using the frontend.) Why is this API call failing? I have tried scrubbing the API call of special characters, I have tried using the beta endpoint, I have tried several different formats for the input. ERROR: {"error":{"code":"BadRequest","message":"The provided '#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember' for 'odata.type' is not valid for this operation.","innerError":{"date":"2026-02-10T19:11:28","request-id":"XXXXX","client-request-id":"XXXXXX"}}} POST URL: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/chats/IDHERE/members BODY: { "chatType": "group", "\u0040odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.aadUserConversationMember", "user\u0040odata.bind": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/IDHERE", "roles": [] }
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.
Error creating Online Teams Meeting: Something went wrong. Edit event to try again.
Hey Gang, I have one solitary user that started getting this error a couple of weeks ago. "Something went wrong. Edit event to try again." If an offline meeting is made, it works fine. But it cannot create online meetings (With the Teams link for people to join) This is the case with all versions of Outlook and Teams. I.E. Desktop, web browser, phone apps. We have made no changes to the user's account and as far as we can tell, they are the only person to have this issue. They are a manager and need to be able to schedule meetings with links. I did attempt to assign a calling plan to the account, but it did not fix the problem. (User has a 365 BP license already) The only things I have been able to find here on the forums are from a while back, with claims that Microsoft had created a fix and rolled it out. It is odd that only a solitary user is having this issue. Tomorrow we will attempt to sign him out of all 365 apps across all devices and reset MFA, but I do not feel this will work. We are Azure joined (for users, not devices yet). Edit: A complete log out did not suffice to fix this problem. It is still prevalent across all platforms. Any insight, things to check or suggestions would be great! Appreciated! Mike
StarLeaf + Teams integration
Hi all, I have a user that wants to integrate StarLeaf into one of his Microsoft Teams group. He is not the owner of the group. The issue he reported: "Currently, Starleaf for Teams is installed, but when there is any attempt to setup using the integration token generated from our systems admin in Starleaf, an error occurs." The link for instructions he used: https://support.starleaf.com/integrating/starleaf-for-microsoft-teams/#3-Install+StarLeaf+for One of the errors he gets: "Something went wrong. Reinstall StarLeaf for Teams." Any idea of what to do? Kind regards, Dino
Status during a Teams call : "in a call" only once others have joined!
Hi, I work remotely so most of my job is through Teams calls with laypeople (i.e. not necessarily Teams savvy). I like to start the calls a few minutes before to prepare my shared whiteboard, etc., make sure sound is OK... However, the status, even when I'm alone, is automatically "in a call" and so I don't have notifications anymore, which is generally OK, except that if my client tries to call me on the phone (which is on Teams), they go directly to voicemail. It is annoying to manually switch it. I think that when we are ALONE in the call, waiting for others to join, we should appear as AVAILABLE so that all notifications, etc. are still enabled until we are not alone in the meeting... and then, yes, all the do not disturb aspects must kick in! Thanks!Creating channel meetings triggers emails to all Teams members
I'm struggling with a delicate and strange problem. We mainly use Channel Meetings in Microsoft Teams. The problem is that absolutely all team members receive an email about the meeting, regardless of whether they are invited to the meeting or not. As I understand it, only those who are invited to the Channel Meeting should receive an invitation. However, I should be able to choose to notify all Team members if I wish, but that is not the case. When I check the M365 groups, the setting "Send copies of team emails and events to team members inboxes" is disabled and I think this should be enough, but it clearly is not. Does anyone here have a solution to this?
New Audio-Only Recording Option for Teams Meetings
A new audio-only recording option for Teams meeting suppresses the video feed from meeting participants to generate the MP4 file for the meeting recording. The idea is to better preserve user privacy during recording playbacks. Few will miss the video stream because the audio is usually more important. The audio is also the basis for the meeting transcript, and that leads to AI-generated outputs like meetings summaries and action items. https://office365itpros.com/2025/10/20/audio-only-recording-teams/How do I record videos on Teams using a personal account?
I only have a personal Teams account (no company subscription) and want to schedule a Teams meeting with a friend so she can teach me Excel pivot table techniques. However, I can't find the "Start Recording" button in the meeting settings. Now, I got that recording is only available for subscribers. If a free account can't record from the cloud or locally, what screen recording solution do you usually use to ensure clear video? And I need to record both system audio and webcam picture-in-picture. Thanks in advance for any advice!MS Teams Meeting - Get Meeting Participants From Graph API
Hi, I’m looking to retrieve the participants of a meeting using the Microsoft Graph API. Currently, I use the calendarView API to obtain details of the meeting from a user's calendar. However, if a new participant is added during the meeting, I want to be able to see the updated list of attendees. I've tried using the onlineMeetings API with the endpoint onlineMeetings/{meetingId}, but this only provides details of the participants who were part of the scheduled meeting (basically participants present in the meeting in user's calendar). It doesn’t reflect any additions or removals of participants that occur during the call. I also explored the chats API with the endpoint https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/chats/19:meeting_Oxxx1@thread.v2/members, which gives me the current members of the meeting chat, but I need to get the list of participants present in the meeting. Is there another method to get a list of all participants in a meeting? Prasad_Das-MSFT Vaibhav-MSFT
