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.
Anyone Else Having Issues?
Hello! My company uses Teams as our main communication channel. For the past two or three weeks we have had significantly more issues than usual with Teams. Messages will sit and not send for sometimes over an hour. We have tried the standard troubleshooting methods and are still facing this problem. Is it just us or is this a bug? If so, is Microsoft working on a solution? Thank you!
External Teams federation broken after Dunloe Dataplane Service provisioning failure
Repost without tenantID Since June 26, all external Teams chat/federation is broken for our organization. Messages to all external users fail with "Send failed". In our Entra audit log we found the root cause: on June 26 at 05:57 UTC, Microsoft Azure AD Internal - Jit Provisioning failed to provision "Dunloe Dataplane Service" in our tenant (multiple SpnValidationException errors, only 1 of 6 succeeded). We have verified all settings are correct: Get-CsTenantFederationConfiguration → AllowFederatedUsers: True, AllowedDomains: AllowAllKnownDomains Get-CsExternalAccessPolicy → EnableFederationAccess: True Entra Cross-tenant access settings → All B2B inbound/outbound: All allowed This appears to be a Microsoft-side provisioning issue. We need Microsoft to re-provision the Dunloe Dataplane Service for our tenant.External Teams federation broken after Dunloe Dataplane Service provisioning failure

Most users expect Mirror My Video to mirror only their camera video, while leaving the virtual background exactly as they uploaded it. However, when Mirror My Video is enabled, Microsoft Teams also mirrors uploaded background image. So someone on MS Teams Team really thought: "The user will anticipate this and manually reverse their background images, then upload the backwards image so Teams can reverse it again!" We wait in earnest to find out if the next Teams patch will drop all pretenses and just mirror the entire display, including on screen text, menus, and the Windows Start bar.
How are you handling performance review data across Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint?
We just wrapped up our mid-year review cycle and it was a mess. Managers had to go through old Teams chat messages to find feedback they gave or go through our sharepoint documents to see where everyones goals were. You think there is a way I can use copilot inside Microsoft Teams to somehow parse through all of this before reviews? I saw this app performance 365 or something like that in the app store but I dont think its an official Microsoft app. Any ideas?1:1 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?
Speaker diarisation help!
Hi! Is there a way to get speaker diarisation in Microsoft Teams meetings? This is a situation where all speakers are in the same room, and the meeting is joined through a Teams enabled device. I am aware of programs like WhisperX, however I do not know how to do any coding-based stuff, and would prefer to have as much as possible within the Copilot 'universe'
Still Cannot Bulk Add People or Groups in Team/Channel in 2026
It's 2026, still same issue. As a regular user/leader of a large team (hundreds of people), we still cannot bulk add people in Team/Channel. It's frustrating to add one people at a time. This has been brought up in 2020, 6 years after, same issue. teams and bulk adding of members | Microsoft Community Hub No real resolution.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.
