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.47Views0likes2CommentsStruggling to get managers to actually use 1:1 meeting agendas in Teams
We've been trying to get our managers to run structured 1:1s with their direct reports using Teams. Right now they just hop on a call with no agenda and wing it. HR wants there to be a documented agenda, talking points from both sides, and some kind of record of what was discussed. We tried using Loop components and OneNote but managers find it clunky to set up every time and most of them just stopped doing it after a few weeks. Is there a better way to handle recurring 1:1 meeting agendas directly in Teams?19Views0likes2CommentsMicrosoft Teams Presence Report
[New Blog Post] In this article I describe my #PowerShell script, which I have made available for you on #GitHub. This script is used to retroactively display the #MSTeams presence status as an HTML report per user. https://www.msb365.blog/?p=5816 #M365 #MVPbuzz800Views0likes4CommentsIs anyone building individual development plans inside Teams?
So hear me out. I discovered that if something is in a live document, sharepoint, etc, I've found that employees dont really check up on it or follow through with it unless they are regularly reminded. Same goes for any software we try to implement that requires a seperate login and lives in another app completely. Our employees spend most of their time communicating in Teams so I want to take our IDP process into Teams. Are there any decent talent or employee development apps for Teams that anyone can recommend for IDPs?37Views0likes1CommentStop Automatic Calling when Screensharing
I screenshare a lot in my position; I call the coworker (Phone/Headset) and train them on what I need them to look at. I am in a large office building, and the automatic calling of the receivers' PC is disruptive, as I do not was the whole office to hear my conversation or have people hear my trainee. I see no way to disable the team auto-call once I start to screen share or in the Options. All my coworkers feel this frustration as well. I do use the computer microphone/speaks aspect when working from home, but would disable it totally, if it would stop the auto-call. I do not want it to affect meeting invites to others, as others around the country can use their PC speak/microphone, if they want. Please advise.13Views0likes0Commentssmall white window that opens during sharing in a meeting
Hi, I've Teams vers. 26120.3106.4722.3411. For some time when I access to a meeting and sharing the screen, a window or a presentation, a small white windows appears at the bottom right and I cannot close it. To close this window and to prevent it from opening again I need to disconnect to Teams also for 2-3 times. Well, how could I solve a such issue permanently? Thanks This is the window image that I can capture:182Views1like1CommentAnything inside Teams for people management you use and can recommend?
We currently have to use one tool for goals, another for feedback, a spreadsheet for review tracking, Teams for 1:1s, and then some shared doc for engagement notes. Leadership asked me if theres anything that does all of this inside Teams so they dont have to keep jumping around. We're a mid-size company (around 200 people) fully on Microsoft 365. Anyone found a good all-in-one solution that actually works inside Teams?137Views0likes4CommentsHow are you running 1:1 meetings inside Teams without it turning into a mess?
Right now were using a shared OneNote for agendas and action items but honestly nobody updates it and half the time the meeting turns into a random chat with no structure. I tried using Planner tasks as a workaround but thats clunky because theres no real connection between the task and the meeting itself. Has anyone found a good way to keep 1:1 agendas, notes, and follow ups all in one place inside Teams? We have about 40 people so it needs to scale a bit.116Views2likes3CommentsHow to use the new Chats & Channels experience in Teams
