Hello, I am currently unable to un-mirror any camera feeds that go in microsoft teams. The button and option is completely missing in the options. See pic below. What is even more baffling is that I did see this option there earlier but now it is missing. I am on a Mac running macOS Big Sur 11.6 and Microsoft teams desktop app is running version 1.6.00.19353. Why is this option missing and how can I bring it back?1.8KViews0likes3CommentsNew teams: call queues not showing in search
tried out New Teams and found a big problem: In the calls section, if I type the name of a "call queue" (shared line) .. it will not come up in search. So our staff wouldn't be able to find the Tech support Helpline, for example, through search. In 'old' Teams these call queues showed up with the headset icon making them distinctive. It seems to me that currently the only way to call these call queues using new Teams would be via 10-digit dialing. That won't be acceptable.Solved10KViews3likes45CommentsProviding 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?86Views0likes2CommentsFormal Complaint: The UX Failure of Microsoft Authenticator and Teams Guest Access
To the Microsoft Product & Engineering Teams, I am writing this not just as a frustrated user, but as a systems engineer and developer who has just spent several hours navigating the Kafkaesque labyrinth that is your current authentication ecosystem. The transition to a new mobile device while maintaining "Guest" access to an external organization (Rihter d.o.o.) has been an exercise in systemic failure. Specifically, I would like to highlight the following critical UX flaws: The Identity Paradox: Your system’s inability to gracefully handle a personal Outlook account acting as a Guest in an Entra ID tenant is baffling. Receiving the error "You can't sign in here with a personal account" while trying to access a tenant I am already a member of is a fundamental logic failure. Visual Inconsistency (The "Briefcase" vs. "Initials"): The fact that an account can appear in Authenticator as a "One-time password" nalog with initials, yet be completely non-functional for Teams until it is manually re-added as a "Work/School" nalog with a briefcase icon, is a UI disaster. The "Action Required" Loop: I was trapped in a cycle where the app demanded action but provided no path to resolution within the mobile environment. I had to resort to using a desktop browser in Incognito mode just to force the system to generate a valid QR code for the new hardware. Mandatory Hardware Security (Passwordless): Forcing users to implement device-wide PINs or biometrics on their private hardware just to use the "Approve" notification feature is overreach. There should be a clear, frictionless fallback to TOTP codes within Teams without degrading the entire app's functionality. App vs. Web Desynchronization: It is unacceptable that a web browser (in Desktop mode) can successfully authenticate a session while the native Teams app on the same device remains stuck with stale tokens and cached AADSTS90023 errors. As someone who designs low-level architectural specifications (DREL), I find the lack of interoperability and the "black box" nature of these errors (like AADSTS90023) to be a significant step backward for professional productivity. I hope this feedback reaches someone who prioritizes user flow over bureaucratic security layers.

When I set up an intranet for our companies in SharePoint alone, I always create them as a Team site (we have over 200 companies in one tenant). In SharePoint I use dynamic groups "All-Users-Company" so users in each company have access by default. BUT... when they open Teams, they can't see their company's team unless they're added as a member of the site. I would love if Teams would "see/add" users from a dynamic group in SharePoint so they automatically have access to their own Teams site as well - is this possible? 💫🤗💫💫💫623Views0likes4CommentsTeam GIF Search Results Changes
Obviously this is not very important, but has anyone else experienced a change (for the worse, in my opinion) to the GIF search results? I type in "Hi" and I get batman rubbing his chin and then a bunch of High-Five results.. Just wondering if there was an update or change announced by MS. Thanks!188Views0likes1CommentMouse button 'Back/Forward' not working in 'New Teams'
Though there are options to 'pop out' windows from Teams, Teams is a generally a single page app. As such, one of my most used features in 'Classic Teams' is switching back 'n forth between several 'tabs' I'm currently working with. Say I've got somebody on chat, but then have to quickly check something in Teams, then go back to chat. In Classic Teams this works just fine using the mouse's back & forward buttons. In 'New' Teams, this no longer registers any action at all. I assume the feature still exists, since left of the search bar there are still the back/forward UI buttons. But moving the mouse over for every time you need to switch back and forth is a lot slower and less intuitive than just using the mouse buttons. Current behavior: Mouse 'back'/'forward' buttons do not work in 'New Teams' Expected behavior: Mouse 'back/forward' buttons register the 'back' and 'forward' navigation commands as they did in 'Classic' Teams7.5KViews33likes24CommentsTeams Meeting Share Button
I can't say how many times users that are on a Teams meeting have accidentally clicked on the "Leave" button when they meant to click the "Share" button simply because of the close proximity to each other. Can anything be done to put some space between the two buttons to help prevent this from happening?143Views0likes3Comments
