New Teams Client is crashing when Jabra Evolve 75 Headset is muted by putting the microphone up
We have a strange issue with the new Teams client. When the Mic is put up, the headset is actually muting Teams. However, with the new Teams client, if the headset is put Teams crashes sometimes. Teams crashes also reproducible if the mic is put up before joining a conference. Anybody has the same problem or a solution for that? The Evolve Headset is connected via a Jabra 370 USB dongle.
New Teams: New meetings/chats opening on wrong screen
With the new Teams version when I join a meeting the window opens on the wrong screen. Formerly the window opened on the same screen as the main Teams window. Now it opens on the main screen. Since I am running an RDP session on the main screen and the window opens in the background of it, I don't see the window. That makes the new version unusable to me. The same thing happens to chats when I start a chat out of the new "Persons" app (actually Personen since I am using the German version) that seems to have replaced the old Contacts in the Chat app. That happens even though I have configured all chat windows to open in the main window. Please fix before you force this on everyone. (I hope someone from Microsoft is listening here. The "Share your feedback" button unfortunately doesn't work, it links to a site that says "Service unavailable".)
Unable to use "callto:" to initiate a call in new Teams
We used to be able to run the command "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\ms-teams.exe callto:email address removed for privacy reasons" to initiate a call in the classic version of Teams, but since upgrading to the new Teams client we get "Sorry, we're unable to complete the call." I've tested the command with a phone number "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\ms-teams.exe callto:3059999999" and confirmed this still works and will prompt me in Teams if I'd like to call this number, it just doesn't find the person when using their email: I found the following Q&A post https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1179266/callto-working-in-teams where Microsoft stated "external deep link like callto: are not supported" but using a deeplink like the example in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/deep-link-workflow?tabs=teamsjs-v2#deep-link-to-start-an-audio-video-call-with-users, launches the browser first before redirecting to Teams, which is the behavior we are hoping to avoid. We can still use the classic Teams for now but considering it will be replaced with the new Teams by March 31, 2024, we wanted to get confirmation if callto: will not be supported in the new Teams. If it's no longer supported, how can we initiate a call in Teams from a command without launching the browser first?New Teams: Persons (Contacts replacement) doesn't show status
Formerly under Chat there was the possibility to switch to Contacts. It showed a list of contacts administrable by the user that could be split into several groups. It also showed the status of these contacts (although not a very reliable one). In the new Teams GUI this option is gone. There is however a new Persons app (actually Personen for me, since I am using German), that shows the same list and groups, so I suppose it is intended as a replacement. It would be a great improvement to have this as a separate button in the side view instead of a combo button in Chat and I always wanted that change. BUT ... The new Persons app doesn't show the status of the contacts. Although the status wasn't very reliable in the old list, it was still better than nothing. Simply removing it makes it impossible to see who in a group might still be online. That was an extremely important feature. Please add the status to the Persons app.
New Teams automatically "deselect" the Microsoft 365 Chat-App Setting
Hello everyone, I have a problem with the New Teams Client. Each time the setting that the new Teams is the Microsoft/Office365 chat app is deselected. I have already spoken to our IT department and there is no GPO or anything similar regarding this setting. The problem only occurs in the "new" Teams, I have already done a complete reinstallation. But it did nothing. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable topic online. Best regards... 🙂
