Unable to follow the Viva Glint Blog
This post was originally submitted as a question in MS Learn on July 2 and I was advised to move it to the tech community. Hi MS team, I continue to click "Follow" on the Viva Glint blog to ensure I receive release updates but then get automatically set to not follow. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/Viva-Glint For the second time, I am being automatically set to not follow. I checked with my admin team (there are 4 of us) and this is not an individual/isolated incident. They are also being automatically set to unfollow the Viva Glint blog. Please see screenshots attached from myself and my manager. We should be seeing the button as "Unfollow" indicating that we are following, instead it is showing "Follow" indicating that we are not following. I have opened an MS ticket about this already and was directed to contact the Microsoft Tech Community platform team. I followed the Glint blog back on 4/9/2026 and then was set to unfollow. I followed again at the beginning of June (maybe on 6/4/2026) and I was set to unfollow again. I did receive one "Microsoft Community Hub Weekly Digest" email on 6/7/2026 so I must have still been following then but I have not received any communications before or after. Can you please provide an explanation and a solution? We need to receive email notifications about updates and releases. Following the blog should be a reliable process. As of today, 7/28/2026, I am still following the Glint blog which is great but how do I know I won't be automatically set to "unfollow" a third time?
Custom notification sounds on multiple accounts in New Outlook
So, with this configuration/setting, am I correct in assuming that whatever sound I choose for a New Mail notification should apply to all accounts (I have four)? No matter what I do, I can configure only the Primary account sound, while all others insist on using the default sound. Very frustrating...Techcommunity Follow email notification no longer working
Hello, Not sure if this is the right place to post this issue but I could not find another method to report this issue.. As an Exchange Admin in our invironment it's very usefull to stay up to date on the latest new posted in a variety of blogs on this website (Exchange Blog, M365 Blog, ...) This all went well until a few months ago where I started noticing I didn't receive any weekly updates anymore regarding new blogposts & tried to manually go check periodically, thinking it would be a temporary system. After investigation i've noticed that i'm not the only admin in our company that no longer receives these emails from mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons So I wonder if something bigger is up or if it's only my company being affected, not receiving these follow notifications anymore? Is there any other way that I should report this issue, to those managing this website so it can be investigated in detail if it's only us? Already tried to unfollow/delete follows in my profile - save - follow again, same on the respective blog pages, but this does not seem to change anything.
Graph API: summary field ignored for Adaptive Card message notifications/preview
Hello, Problem Summary When sending Adaptive Cards via Microsoft Graph API to Teams chats, the `summary` field in the message payload is completely ignored. This results in unhelpful generic notifications like "Card" or "Sent an attachment" instead of meaningful preview text. Environment - **API**: Microsoft Graph API v1.0 - **Endpoint**: `POST /chats/{chat-id}/messages` - **Platform**: Microsoft Teams (Desktop, Web, Mobile) - **Adaptive Card Version**: 1.5 Expected Behavior According to the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/chatmessage?view=graph-rest-1.0, the `summary` property should be used for: > "Summary text of the message that could be used for push notifications and summary views or fall back views" When sending a message with `summary: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue"`, I expect: - ✅ Teams notification toast displays: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" - ✅ Chat list preview shows: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" - ✅ Activity feed shows: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" Actual Behavior The `summary` field has **no effect** on notifications or previews: - ❌ Notification shows generic text: "Card" or "Sent an attachment" - ❌ Chat list preview shows generic text or first TextBlock from card - ❌ Activity feed shows generic text - ❌ The `summary` field appears to be completely ignored Minimal Reproduction Request Payload ```json POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/chats/{chat-id}/messages Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer {token} { "body": { "contentType": "html", "content": "<attachment id=\"card001\"></attachment>" }, "attachments": [ { "id": "card001", "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "content": { "type": "AdaptiveCard", "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.5", "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Critical Alert", "weight": "bolder", "size": "large", "color": "attention" }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Database connection has failed. Please investigate immediately.", "wrap": true } ], "actions": [ { "type": "Action.OpenUrl", "title": "View Details", "url": "https://example.com/alerts/12345" } ] } } ], "summary": "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" } ``` Steps to Reproduce Create a test chat in Microsoft Teams Obtain OAuth2 token with `Chat.ReadWrite` scope Send the above payload via Graph API Observe notification/preview in Teams client **Result**: The `summary` field is ignored, notification shows generic text. Business Impact This limitation severely impacts user experience for: - **Alert/incident notifications** - Users can't identify urgency without opening the chat - **High-volume scenarios** - Users can't triage messages efficiently - **Time-sensitive operations** - Critical alerts look identical to routine messages Our team manages 200+ incident notifications daily via Adaptive Cards. Without meaningful previews, users must open every notification to assess priority, defeating the purpose of notifications. Workarounds Attempted ❌ **Setting `summary` at message level** - Ignored when attachments present ❌ **Adding preview text in `body.content`** - Overwritten by attachment ❌ **Using different `contentType` values** - No improvement ❌ **Including fallback text in Adaptive Card** - Not displayed in preview ✅ **Only working solution**: Send plain text message first, then card separately (terrible UX) Questions **Is this a bug or by design?** If by design, why does the documentation describe `summary` as useful for notifications? **Is there an alternative mechanism** to control preview text for Adaptive Card messages? **Is this being tracked internally?** This seems like a fundamental limitation for bot developers. Full Reproduction Package I've created a complete reproduction package with test scripts and detailed documentation: - Test payload JSON - Bash/PowerShell test scripts - Step-by-step reproduction guide Can share via GitHub gist if helpful for the team to investigate. Request Please either: **Fix the implementation** to honor the `summary` field for Adaptive Card messages, OR **Provide an alternative mechanism** to control notification/preview text, OR **Update the documentation** to clarify that `summary` is not supported for Adaptive Cards This is blocking our production alert system deployment. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! ---Can we get more guidance and feedback on the moderation being done on the messages
I have been an active poster on the Excel forum but every so often my posts will just disappear. Sometimes our message will be there but an attachment will be missing. Sometimes messages disappear but then show up hours or days later. Can someone PLEASE give us some insight into what is happening. Is this an auto-moderator or actual person? Either way can we please get a message informing us that our message is being held or rejected and why. How are we supposed to learn if we get no feedback. I don't appreciate spending time re-creating a worksheet (because these new posters aren't even allowed to attach their excel file for us to see) and then create a formula solution, write up how it works and then just have it all disappear. Makes me think Microsoft doesn't really care for me to help. And BTW, can you please revisit the reasoning behind not letting new accounts attach files. Is it a space/size issue? or is it a security issue? if the concern is space/size then make a limit on the file size. Security issue, make a limit on file types. All this tends to do is force members to ask the user to post the file using a file share service like onedrive, but if they use another service it can be a much larger security risk.
