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.

Hello, Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and feedback regarding the planned Upcoming change: disabling Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails. After carefully reviewing the feedback from this discussion, survey responses, and support channels, we have decided to pause the rollout of this change. The updates originally planned for June 1st will not take effect on that date. What this means for you: - Email notifications for expired Teams meeting recordings will continue as they do today. - No action is required on your part. - Recording expiration and deletion policies remain unchanged. Your input along with ongoing, internal engineering discussions helped shaped this decision. We want to make sure that any changes we make to the notification experience truly work for your organizations, and the feedback we received made it clear that we need more time to get this right. We're still committed to improving the notification experience for Teams meeting recordings and will provide updates here and through the Message Center when we have more to share. In the meantime, please continue to share your thoughts in this discussion. Thank you for your patience and for being part of our community.Upcoming change: disabling Teams meeting recording expiration notification emails
Hello, We wanted to share an important update regarding email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. Based on valuable feedback from our community, we’ve decided to make a change to how notifications are handled. What’s changing: Starting June 1st, we will stop sending email notifications for expired Microsoft Teams meeting recordings. We are making this change due to complaints we received from many customers about the high volume of notifications which they deemed low value. This change allows us to respect your preferences while ensuring critical communications remain accessible. Recording expiration and deletion policies remain unchanged and items that expire will be deleted even when notifications are not being sent. How to keep receiving notifications: For those customers that would like to continue receiving email notifications, we will create a new setting and make it available before June 1st. This will be a per-tenant setting. We will send another message center post once this setting is available and update our documentation in this discussion and on our support page. After June 1st: If you didn’t change notification settings before the deadline, you can still re-enable them at any time by running the PowerShell command. Note: Our original message center post incorrectly asked recipients to fill out a survey and failed to include a link to the survey. We are committed to providing options that work for your organization, and we would like to hear from you. If you have questions or additional feedback about this change, please complete this survey and join the discussion: Teams Meeting Recording Notification Changes – Fill out form Thank you for being part of our community.
Making shifts not visible to all team members
Is there anyway to make shifts private, where only the specific team member that the shift is intended for can see it I can not seem to find a setting to restrict team members to only viewing their own shifts. Short of creating a team for each individual member....is there a way I am missing?
How to explicitly state an external org is trusted
We have a B2B relationship with our parent company. They manage their own M365 we manage ours, but we added each others' domains as instructed in Cross-Tenant Access Settings and allowed access to each other's directory and calendar. However, on our Teams, their users pop up with a grey "external" badge stating "This person's org hasn't yet been added to your org's trusted list" even though Team's External Access Settings is set to Allow all External Domains, which means there is no trust list to begin with. Do the trusted domains have to be specified explicitly if so, is there a way to set this external domain as trusted without having to change "Allow all External domains" to "Allow only specific external domains"?
external calls with call queue or resource account.
Hi. I am setting up a call queue and an auto attendant for my customer service department. I already receive the calls and they are forwarded to my agents as I have configured in the call queue. My problem comes with the outgoing calls, I don´t want the customer service users to call directly. I want them to call through the resource account. I can do this by selecting the resource account in the teams (see image) I need that the default option is always the resource account or a way to make that when they call always do it through the resource account or the same call queue. Is it possible?Restrict Users from Creating New Teams in Microsoft Teams

Teams Transcription (Licensing / Button greyed out for some users)
Hello, i have questions regarding transcription in Teams. Our org has Microsoft 365 Business Standard licenses, two users have icrosoft 365 Copilot Business on top of that. First question: is transcription possible for users without Copilot Business License? If the meeting policy is specified as something other than "off", some people can start the transcription, even if all participants of the meeting have no Copilot Business License. Is this on purpose or am i using a loophole and am i violating my license agreement in any way? Second question: some users can start the transcriptions, while others with the same teams version, license and meeting policy can not I read that having the personal setting disabled to identify yourself automatically in meetings will prevent you from starting the transcription, but that setting is enabled for every participant. On the teams app for android, one participant can enable the transcription, in the same meeting in the desktop app it is not available (disabled by Administrator per Policy) Teams version is 26072.519.4556.7438. Any pointers how i can locate the user specific difference, that is responsible for the transcription? I checked the assigned meeting policy and it is the same. Thanks for your time and help! Best regards, AndiYOption to change default recording & transcription settings?
I've been asked to look at changing the default settings for recordings & transcriptions, specifically the “Who has access to the recording or transcript.” setting, changing it from "Everyone" to "Specific people". I've looked through Meeting Policies in Teams Admin Center but can't see an option that governs this behaviour. Although we've advised users to change this setting if needed, we have had instances where the user has forgotten to change the default and has inadvertently allowed guest/temporary participants (who may have only been in attendance for a specific item) to see the whole meeting transcript. Many thanks, Olly
