Pin to top in Posts tab of a Channel is not sticking
I love that MS Teams now has the functionality to pin posts. This is especially helpful as we are looking to put a "virtual bulletin board" in place at my company. I would like to "pin" the bulletin board rules and how-to posts so they don't get buried in other posts when we launch. However, when I do pin the message, it does not pin it to the top (or bottom since new posts are listed at the bottom) of the feed. All it does is add a green bar to the left of the message window and a small green thumbtack icon on the top right. How do we actually pin this message to the top (or bottom) of a feed to ensure everyone sees it? I have pinned these, but they are not pinned to the top or the bottom of the feed. I have tested this in other Teams channels as well and the pin functionality just seems to add a green bar and pushpin - but doesn't actually pin it. I have also found out that other members can pin/unpin my posts. If there's not a solution here, that's okay. I will just have to put together a small Wiki tab with the rules and how-to. It would just be nice that it worked as I think users want it to work...What’s New in Microsoft Teams | October 2025
Before we get to this month’s new Teams features, I’m thrilled to share that Microsoft has been recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Unified Communications as a Service for the 7th year in a row. We are honored to again be positioned highest for ability to execute and furthest for completeness of vision in the evaluation’s axes. We believe this recognition underscores the product innovations we delivered over this past year, such as the launch of agents in meetings and a redesigned chat and channels experience, to make Microsoft Teams the AI-powered platform for work—one that is simple, smart, and secure. In our opinion, the support and trust of our customers and partners helped make this recognition possible. We’re deeply grateful to the hundreds of millions of users who turn to Teams to get their work done and our partners whose expertise and commitment amplify the impact of Teams worldwide. If you’ve been a member of the Microsoft tech community for a while, you might be aware that next month, we’ll highlight many exciting new Teams features at Microsoft Ignite and in our special What’s new in Teams Ignite edition blog. That’s going to be something to look forward to, but this month, we’ve got plenty of new productivity-boosting updates to celebrate too. The power of Copilot continues to grow. We first introduced meeting recaps to help you quickly catch up on what you missed, now we’re taking them further. With audio recap, your written recaps are transformed into dynamic audio experiences you can listen to anytime, anywhere. Teams Rooms just leveled up too, with smarter voice and face recognition and real-time caption translations. And if you’re a Teams Rooms on Android user, Facilitator is now available to help keep your meetings productive and on track.

New features released this month: Chat and collaboration Meetings, webinars, and town halls Teams Phone Workplace: Places and Teams Rooms Certified for Teams Devices Chat and collaboration Summarize files shared in Teams chat with Copilot When a file is shared in a chat, you don’t always have the time to open it, read through, and grasp the key ideas. With file summaries in 1:1 and group chats in Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot can quickly summarize content from Microsoft Word documents so you can understand the main points without opening the file. This feature is also available on mobile, making it easier to grasp key ideas without reading an entire document on a small screen while on the move. It respects the file's security policies, ensuring that only users with access to the file receive a summary, which will carry the same sensitivity label as the original file. Add emoji updated keyboard shortcut Use colons to quickly insert the emoji you want without slowing down to use the mouse. Type : followed by the name of the emoji you want, then type : again. Once done, the emoji is selected and added to your text. The new shortcut aligns with industry standards and helps make emoji insertion intuitive and consistent. You can now type keywords to find both standard and custom emojis using the improved search. Meetings, webinars, and town halls Audio recap now generally available Staying informed shouldn’t mean being glued to your screen. That’s why we’re introducing audio recap, a new way to catch up on your meetings. With audio recap, your meeting recap is transformed into an audio experience you can listen to on the go. Whether you’re commuting, walking between meetings, or simply prefer listening, it’s a hands-free way to stay connected and informed. You can generate an audio recap for up to eight meetings at a time, and choose the delivery style that best fits how you want to listen: Newscast—one AI speaker delivering a fast, concise summary Executive—two AI speakers offering an efficient summary with minimal commentary. Casual—two AI speakers providing a summary with extra color and commentary. All your audio recaps are easily accessible from the meeting recap page, ready to replay anytime. And with availability on both desktop and mobile, you can catch up wherever work takes you. Support for multiple camera views and IntelliFrame from Teams Rooms on Windows in Teams webinar and structured meetings Multiple camera views and IntelliFrame (Multi-stream and cloud) from Teams Rooms on Windows are now available in Teams webinar and structured meetings with "Manage what attendees see" enabled. Organizers and presenters of these meetings can access intelligent camera views and bring them on the live stage for attendees. Available with Teams Rooms Pro. Event Chat now available in Town halls for GCC, GCCH and DoD [Premium] Teams is bringing richer engagement to your Town halls on more cloud environments. With Event Chat, organizers and attendees in GCC, GCCH, and DoD environments can now interact in real time during Town hall sessions. This feature enables secure, threaded conversations, allowing participants to share insights, ask questions, and stay connected throughout the event. After the session ends, the chat remains accessible for follow-up discussions, ensuring continuity and collaboration beyond the live broadcast. Teams Phone Intelligent recap popout window in Calls app Users can now access Intelligent recap pop-out pages through the Calls app. Intelligent recap uses AI to automatically provide a comprehensive overview of your recorded or transcribed calls, helping users save time catching up and coordinating next steps. Go to the Calls app, look up the transcribed or recorded call in the call history, and select "View recap". This will launch the call’s Intelligent recap as a new pop-out page containing AI-generated discussion summary notes and recommended tasks to help users quickly find the most important information from the call. Teams Phone Mobile is now generally available with AT&T Teams Phone Mobile enables end-users to make and receive calls using a single number across their mobile phone and all their Teams endpoints. AT&T customers can now enjoy seamless mobile and Teams integration with this unified calling experience. Learn more about how IT admins can configure Teams Phone Mobile in Teams admin center and view the expanding set of mobile operators providing Teams Phone Mobile. Phone Devices: Improved Feedback Sharing for Teams Certified Phone Devices Giving feedback on Teams-certified Phone devices just got easier. Previously, users rated their experience with a 1–5 star score, and then had the option to type additional comments—a process that could feel cumbersome on a phone’s touch screen keyboard. Now, after you select your rating, Teams will suggest text prompts tailored to your score, making it simple to share what’s working well or what could be improved. You can still add your own notes for extra detail, but the new prompts help streamline feedback and save time. Phone devices: Enhanced Call Transfer experiences Teams Phone certified devices now have an improved interface that simplifies transfer actions. Users can select “Consult first” to place the original caller on hold and privately speak with the recipient before completing the transfer. The “Transfer” option is only enabled after the consult recipient answers the call to reduce the risk of adding the original caller back into the call prematurely. Direct transfers without a consultation step provide real-time status updates such as “Transferring [User A] to [User B]” while the transfer is in progress and “Successfully completed” at the conclusion. This visibility into the call transfer progress helps the transferrer know when it is safe to disconnect. Workplace: Places and Teams Rooms Facilitator agent for scheduled meetings in Teams Rooms on Android You can now take advantage of the Facilitator agent in Teams Rooms on Android for real-time AI-generated notes, follow up items, and keeping everyone updated on time during scheduled meetings. Facilitator appears in the meeting chat, and participants can toggle between notes, chat, and the agent. Available in rooms licensed for Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more here. Cloud IntelliFrame support on Teams Rooms on Android Now Cloud IntelliFrame, the AI-based cloud technology that optimizes views of in-room participants for hybrid meetings, is available for Teams Rooms on Android using group framing. Group framing delivers a more natural hybrid meeting experience by focusing on individuals, allowing remote attendees to see visual expressions and gestures better. It is set as the default in Teams Rooms on Android rooms, while remaining disabled by default in others. Admins can enable or disable IntelliFrame through console settings. Learn more here. Dynamic video tile resizing based on occupancy count from Teams Rooms on Android The room video tile dynamically adjusts size based on the number of people in the room. When one person is in the room, the tile matches the remote participant's size. With two or more people, the room tile expands to be four times larger. Admins can manage this behavior through console settings. Live caption translation in Teams Rooms on Android You can now choose the translation language you prefer from 40 supported spoken languages without affecting what other meeting participants see in Teams Rooms on Android. Previously, live captions were displayed in the spoken language by default, but this change allows individuals to select their own experience. This feature is available on Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more here. Join Town Halls and Webinars as an attendee from Teams Rooms on Android Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android can now join Town Halls and webinars in Teams as attendees. You can attend directly from the invited Teams Room, with the same features that attendees have on the Teams desktop app. Available in Teams Rooms Pro. Learn more.

How do you handle rewards & recognition in MS Teams?
I'm curious to learn how other organizations are managing rewards and recognition programs within Microsoft Teams. Are you using built-in features like praise badges and announcements, third-party apps from the Teams store, or custom solutions integrated through Power Platform?Ghost notifications
Got an employee that still receives notifications for a meeting that no longer exists. Have logged her out then back in, cleared cache, cleared data, re-installed and verified with the owner/creator of the meeting that the meeting has been deleted. She only gets this on her iPhone and no where else. Ideas?

Show Meeting Attendees in Order They Joined the Meeting
Bottom line up front: Is there a way to show meeting attendees on the "People" tab in the order they joined the meeting vs alphabetically? Facilitating Teams meetings is a big part of my job and it's important to know when certain, usually high level, people join the call. Usually the call can't start until a key person joins. Let's say the important person's last name is "Wright"; currently, I have to continuously scroll down to the bottom of the list of People to see if Ms. Wright has joined the call, since her name will be at or near the bottom of the list. To add to the complications, many times the call is large, so I have to hit "See More" to be able to see the bottom of the list (and in the process not be able to allow any external attendees in the meeting). Is there a way to sort the People list in the order they arrive to the meeting? E.g., most recent attendees get added to the top of the list vs slotted in alphabetically.
Microsoft Presenter+ not working in New Teams
I've had the Microsoft Presenter+ accessory successfully working in the Classic Teams, and I'm sure this issue was resolved at one point in New Teams, but now seems to be broken again. Any help would be appreciated. I've tried removing the Bluetooth device and re-connecting. The pointer works but not the mute button which is the most important thing. Anyone else having the same issue? and how did you solve it? These are the details of the device in Microsoft Accessory Centre; Model: Presenter+ Hardware version: 1.b.7 Firmware version: 1.25
