Communities tab in Teams
Hi there I've recently had the Communities tab pop up in my Teams alongside the Teams and Channels tab. No one else in my organisation can see this yet and we aren't sure why. I know it's being rolled out on a timeline but I was also wondering if it might be because I'm the only one in the org who has an Microsoft Viva Employee Communications and Communities licence? Does anyone have any insights into this? We'd like to make a bit of a roll out plan once this appears in our colleagues Team's set ups.
Planner task comments no longer send email notifications – critical regression
This change removed a previously existing core functionality without providing an adequate replacement. With the new Planner experience, task comments no longer trigger automatic email notifications to assigned users. This breaks a critical communication mechanism that many teams relied on for reliable task coordination. As a result, assigned users are no longer consistently informed about updates, introducing a high risk of missed information and operational issues in day-to-day work. There is currently no supported or enforceable alternative to ensure users are notified. Previous behavior: Task comments triggered automatic email notifications Assigned users were reliably informed Communication was traceable and consistent Current behavior: No automatic email notifications No configuration to restore this @mentions required (manual, error-prone, not enforceable) Microsoft Support has confirmed that this is by design and cannot be reverted. From an enterprise perspective, this is not just a design change, but a regression of critical functionality without an equivalent replacement. Request: Please restore automatic email notifications for task discussions or provide a reliable, enforceable alternative for notifying assigned users. Question to the community: How are you handling this change in real-world scenarios? Switching tools? Enforcing @mentions? Moving communication out of Planner? Would appreciate hearing how others are dealing with this.Unable to remove old account sing up form Teams on Mac OS
I cannot remove an old sing account from Teams on Mac OS. I have to delete the keychain, I delete the temp folder, and remove and reinstall Teams, and the old account is still there. I have a case open with the Microsoft team, and they cannot figure it out. Where is the login info store, and why has Microsoft not provided a solution where users can remove accounts as easily as they can add? Please help!
Providing Early Feedback - Simplified Teams app bar 557169
How do we provide early feedback to prevent this from happening or requesting the option to disable this feature? If anything, I want Teams to de-simplify. Microsoft keeps going out of their way to hide things that are crititical to productivity. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=557169 I mean - generally - how do we get Microsoft to stop making things worse? It seems like the recommendation is to use the feedback button in the app; but by that time it's too late. Telling the 100+ people who ask me what Microsoft broke this week to use the feedback button is not helping avoid their distaste and distrust of this platform. This is why people are avoiding Teams and prefer text messaging and WhatsApp. We desperately need to increase adoption but Microsoft keeps obscuring features that lead to increased confusion. Where do we make requests to decrease simplicity and increase productivity?Teams Webinars: Org name vs brand name – how are people handling this?
Has anyone else hit this with Teams webinars? Microsoft recently changed how webinar emails are sent, and the sender name now seems to come from the tenant Organisation Name. You can change that in M365 admin, but that’s where the problem starts. In a lot of companies, the organisation name is a legal/billing entity, not the public-facing brand. Example: Legal / tenant name: FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. Brand: FedEx Teams webinar emails now go out showing the legal entity, which isn’t great for external, customer-facing events. Changing the org name just to fix webinar emails can have knock-on effects for billing, contracts, and governance. As far as I can see: No way to set a brand-specific sender name No per-webinar or per-mailbox sender identity Org name is global and used across multiple services The only real workaround seems to be not using Teams-generated emails at all, and sending custom emails via Power Automate / Graph / a marketing platform, while still using Teams for the actual event. Curious how others are dealing with this: Are you just living with it? Changing the org name with legal sign-off? Or bypassing Teams emails completely? Feels like a gap for larger, multi-brand orgs.
Please tell me how to disable the Pin Copilot message
Morning! I wrote a message yesterday but nobody replied, so here's another one so it doesn't get lost Can somebody tell me how to disable the annoying "Pin Copilot Chat" popup? every morning I have to say "Maybe Later" when I really mean to say NEVER IN A THOUSAND YEARSSupport RTL Languages on MacOS
As now, It seems Microsoft teams on MacOS does not support RTL languages when texts are being typed. This makes bad feeling when users want to read the text they've typed. The issue becomes worst when the text contains English phrase (when the message is sent) As far as I remember, Skype did support RTL languages when the texts are being typed.
