small white window that opens during sharing in a meeting
Hi, I've Teams vers. 26120.3106.4722.3411. For some time when I access to a meeting and sharing the screen, a window or a presentation, a small white windows appears at the bottom right and I cannot close it. To close this window and to prevent it from opening again I need to disconnect to Teams also for 2-3 times. Well, how could I solve a such issue permanently? Thanks This is the window image that I can capture:
Feature Request: Real-Time Multilingual Voice Translation in Microsoft Teams
Hello Microsoft Teams Community, I would like to suggest a feature for Microsoft Teams that could help multilingual users communicate more naturally during meetings. Feature Idea: Each participant can speak in their own native language, and Teams will automatically translate and play the speech audio in the listener’s selected language in real time. Example: Telugu speaker talks in Telugu Kannada user hears Kannada audio Hindi user hears Hindi audio English user hears English audio This would be more powerful than subtitles because users can continue conversations naturally in their mother tongue without needing to read captions constantly. Possible Technologies: Speech-to-Text AI Translation Text-to-Speech Real-Time Voice Streaming Benefits: Better communication in multilingual countries like India Improved accessibility Easier collaboration for global teams More inclusive meetings I believe this feature could significantly improve communication in international and regional meetings. Thank you.
Persistent Bluetooth Headset Issues in Microsoft Teams
Many users, including myself, have encountered persistent issues using Bluetooth headsets with Microsoft Teams, particularly in the desktop app. Common problems include: Audio Output Problems: Low audio quality or no audio at all. Microphone Issues: The microphone does not function consistently or at all. Connection Drops: Devices disconnect unexpectedly during or after breakout sessions. Specific Trigger Points: These issues are often limited to Teams and do not occur in other applications. Notable Observations: Disabling the "Handsfree Telephony" service on the headset in Windows resolves many of these problems but renders the headset as a simple audio output device, necessitating an external microphone. The issues seem prevalent across various brands (e.g., Jabra, Poly Voyager, Sony, Bose) These issues are frustrating, especially since they are less frequent in other apps like Zoom or on the Teams web app. It seems related to how Teams interacts with Bluetooth profiles (A2DP vs. HFP) and prioritizes them during meetings. Action for the Community: To help Microsoft prioritize this issue, I’ve submitted detailed feedback on the Microsoft Teams Feedback Portal. If you’re experiencing similar problems, I encourage you to upvote and comment on the feedback to bring more visibility to this matter. https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/c460a39e-afb7-ef11-95f6-0022484d7a88

Hello, Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and feedback regarding the planned Upcoming change: disabling Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails. After carefully reviewing the feedback from this discussion, survey responses, and support channels, we have decided to pause the rollout of this change. The updates originally planned for June 1st will not take effect on that date. What this means for you: - Email notifications for expired Teams meeting recordings will continue as they do today. - No action is required on your part. - Recording expiration and deletion policies remain unchanged. Your input along with ongoing, internal engineering discussions helped shaped this decision. We want to make sure that any changes we make to the notification experience truly work for your organizations, and the feedback we received made it clear that we need more time to get this right. We're still committed to improving the notification experience for Teams meeting recordings and will provide updates here and through the Message Center when we have more to share. In the meantime, please continue to share your thoughts in this discussion. Thank you for your patience and for being part of our community.
Feature Request: Custom Status Labels for Calendar Events (e.g., 'In a Training')
Hey Teams Community! 👋 I have a small but impactful feature idea and would love your votes and feedback. --- 🔴 The Problem Right now, every calendar block in Microsoft Teams shows the same status to colleagues: "In a Meeting." Whether you're in a 10-minute standup or a 3-hour mandatory training — it all looks identical. This creates ambiguity, leads to unnecessary interruptions, and doesn't reflect how modern workplaces actually function. --- 💡 The Feature Request Allow users to assign a custom status label to a calendar event when creating it — visible to colleagues who check availability — without exposing private event details. Something as simple as a dropdown when creating an event: ✅ In a Meeting (default) 🎓 In a Training 🎯 Focus Time 📋 In a Workshop The chosen label would appear: → In the chat status indicator → On the calendar availability hover card → When someone tries to @mention or call you --- ✅ Why This Matters - Reduces interruptions during high-focus or learning sessions - Helps colleagues make smarter decisions about whether to wait or escalate - Especially valuable for schools, hospitals, training teams, and L&D departments - Lightweight to implement — no privacy concerns since it doesn't reveal event titles --- 🗳️ If you've ever been interrupted during a training because someone thought you were just "in a meeting" — please upvote and share your experience below! Let's get this on the Teams roadmap. 🚀 Tags: Feature Request, Calendar, Status, Availability, Training, Teams, Microsoft TeamsMicrosoft to Retire Together Mode for Teams Meetings
In a somewhat surprising decision, Microsoft announced plans to retire the Together mode feature for Teams meetings in June 2026. Based on personal experience, it didn’t seem that many people used Together mode. It seemed like it was something that people tried a couple of times before giving up. Maybe it’s just the meetings I attend, but I haven’t seen Together mode used in years. https://office365itpros.com/2026/05/04/together-mode-retirement/Upcoming change: disabling Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails
Hello, We wanted to share an important update regarding email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. Based on valuable feedback from our community, we’ve decided to make a change to how notifications are handled. What’s changing: Starting June 1st, we will stop sending email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. We are making this change due to complaints we received from many customers about the high volume of notifications which they deemed low value. This change allows us to respect your preferences while ensuring critical communications remain accessible. Recording expiration and deletion policies remain unchanged and items that expire will be deleted even when notifications are not being sent. How to keep receiving notifications: For those customers that would like to continue receiving email notifications, we will create a new setting and make it available before June 1st. This will be a per-tenant setting. We will send another message center post once this setting is available and update our documentation in this discussion and on our support page. After June 1st: If you didn’t change notification settings before the deadline, you can still re-enable them at any time by running the PowerShell command. Note: Our original message center post incorrectly asked recipients to fill out a survey and failed to include a link to the survey. We are committed to providing options that work for your organization, and we would like to hear from you. If you have questions or additional feedback about this change, please complete this survey and join the discussion: Teams Meeting Recording Notification Changes – Fill out form Thank you for being part of our community.How to Report Single-User Teams Online Meetings
In 2024, I wrote a script explaining how to report details of Teams online meetings, including participants. Now someone wants to report single-user meetings. Their reason is that company management believe that some remote workers schedule online meetings that only they attend with the intention of appearing active if anyone checks. It’s an odd ask, but we can do the job with PowerShell. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/28/single-user-meetings/
Teams Transcription (Licensing / Button greyed out for some users)
Hello, i have questions regarding transcription in Teams. Our org has Microsoft 365 Business Standard licenses, two users have icrosoft 365 Copilot Business on top of that. First question: is transcription possible for users without Copilot Business License? If the meeting policy is specified as something other than "off", some people can start the transcription, even if all participants of the meeting have no Copilot Business License. Is this on purpose or am i using a loophole and am i violating my license agreement in any way? Second question: some users can start the transcriptions, while others with the same teams version, license and meeting policy can not I read that having the personal setting disabled to identify yourself automatically in meetings will prevent you from starting the transcription, but that setting is enabled for every participant. On the teams app for android, one participant can enable the transcription, in the same meeting in the desktop app it is not available (disabled by Administrator per Policy) Teams version is 26072.519.4556.7438. Any pointers how i can locate the user specific difference, that is responsible for the transcription? I checked the assigned meeting policy and it is the same. Thanks for your time and help! Best regards, AndiY
