Unable to unblock a user. "We can't unblock this person at the moment. Try again later."
I'm wondering if anyone in the Teams community has run into this issue. I've got a user who erroneously blocked a contact in Teams and is now unable to unblock the user via Settings > Privacy > Managed blocked people. This happens in both the Teams desktop and web-clients. They can click on the Unblock button next to the person's name, however they get the error "We can't unblock this person at the moment. Try again later." Does anyone know why the user can't unblock the contact they accidentally blocked in the first place?
Space bar not working / extra spaces added while typing in Teams chat (Mobile)
Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue in the Microsoft Teams mobile app while trying to send a chat message. When I type on the keyboard, the space bar isn't working correctly — it's either adding extra unwanted spaces or not registering properly, making it hard to type and send a normal message. Details: App: Microsoft Teams (Mobile) Issue occurs while: Typing a message in a chat Behavior: Space key malfunction / extra spaces in the text box This doesn't happen in other apps, only in Teams I've attached a screenshot showing the issue. Has anyone else faced this? Any fix or workaround would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!Update: You can now control Teams Meeting Recording expiration notification emails
Hey Teams community, We've heard the feedback. For admins and users managing a high volume of meetings, TMR expiration emails can pile up fast. We've been working on giving you control, and that control is now here. What's new Tenant admins can now use a PowerShell cmdlet to suppress Teams Meeting Recording expiration and deletion notification emails across their organization. Notifications stay on by default (no change if you do nothing), but if you'd like to turn them off, here's how. Prerequisites Latest version of SharePoint Online Management Shell (download here). Note, it's Windows-only, so you'll need a Windows machine or Azure Virtual Desktop SharePoint Admin or Global Admin permissions Steps 1. Connect to your tenant powershell Connect-SPOService -Url https://<your-tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com 2. Check the current value powershell Get-SPOTenant | Format-List *Recording* False = notifications currently on (default). True = notifications suppressed. 3. Suppress notifications powershell Set-SPOTenant -DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification $true You'll see a confirmation prompt — enter Y to proceed. 4. Verify powershell (Get-SPOTenant).DisableTeamsMeetingRecordingDeletedNotification True means you're all set. No more expiration emails for your tenant. Want to turn them back on later? Just run the same command with $false. What doesn't change Recordings still expire and delete on the same schedule No per-user settings, no UI changes. This is purely a tenant-level admin toggle We'll keep monitoring feedback, and as always, drop your questions below.
Automatic initials are taking my business
Hello everyone, I'm a software developer, mostly based in Germany. I have a M365 Business Account and am using Teams as part of it. Since automatic initials, instead of generic profile pictures, became a thing, I'm constantly in a hurry to change my profile picture as soon as possible. This is because my initials are SS, which in the German culture is the abbreviation of the company responsible for the death camps during Nazi Germany. People are so upset about it that I even had customers not do business with me. They saw the SS initials in calls and thought I was using this on purpose to make a political stand, i.e. being in favour of the industrial scale mass murder of several million people. I'm not. So here is where my frustration is with Teams, which I'm paying for, and which is taking my business away with its stupid initials: I cant change the initials without changing my name I cant populate my picture to outside orgs preventing the initials from being shown This leads me to the incredibly uncomfortable situation that every time I connect to a new client, I need to discuss my distancing of the genocide 80 years ago before actually being able to commence a meeting. Not a very happy topic and as mentioned before I have lost business because of it. Is there please, any solution to this, that doesn't involve having to change my name? Kind Regards Sebastian

Teams for Mac retains deleted personal Microsoft account in account picker after alias change
I’m hoping someone can point me to the location where Teams for Mac stores remembered accounts, or confirm whether this is a bug. Environment Teams Version: 26163.407.4839.8659 macOS: 27.0 Problem I previously had both: a work account using email address removed for privacy reasons a personal Microsoft account that also used email address removed for privacy reasons I successfully migrated the personal Microsoft account to a new primary alias (email address removed for privacy reasons) and removed email address removed for privacy reasons from the personal account. The work account remains unchanged. However, Teams for Mac still displays the old personal account in the account picker as a second “Sherry Serdikoff” account (purple icon). When I click that account, Microsoft correctly responds: “That Microsoft account doesn’t exist. Enter a different account or get a new one.” So the account no longer exists, but Teams continues to display it. What I have already verified The personal account now signs in only as email address removed for privacy reasons. email address removed for privacy reasons has been removed as a personal account alias. Microsoft confirms that no personal Microsoft account exists for email address removed for privacy reasons. My work account continues to function normally. Troubleshooting already performed Signed out of all Teams accounts. Restarted Teams and macOS. Cleared the traditional Teams cache. Renamed the Teams Group Container (UBF8T346G9.com.microsoft.teams) so Teams recreated it. Searched Keychain (all keychains/all items) for Teams, OneAuth, ADAL, MSAL, OneAuthAccount, authority_map, login.windows.net, etc. No relevant cached identity entries were found. Verified the stale account is not present in Microsoft account settings. Created a brand-new macOS user profile and launched Teams before signing into any Microsoft account. Important observation In the brand-new macOS user profile, Teams starts with only Sign In and Join a Meeting. No remembered accounts are displayed. This suggests the stale account is stored somewhere within my original macOS user profile rather than in Microsoft’s cloud or the Teams installation itself. Question Has anyone identified where the current Teams for Mac client stores these remembered account identities, or is this a known bug in the current Teams/OneAuth implementation? I’d appreciate any suggestions before I resort to deleting additional Microsoft authentication data.
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.
