This started around the time Communities have been added to the side rail (the one that shows recent chats, all your teams, etc.). I have a setup where i add channels that i need to a section called Favorites and in that section i enable to show only unread. I put this section above chats in Combined view. This way i see channels with unread messages on top and new chats also appear at the top of the Chats section. This way it is easy to notice unread messages without pesky notifications. Because there is no option to limit the size of Chats section (i would prefer it to show only last 10 chats or less). So, my Teams list is usually too far below to see channels with new messages. I had this setup since Combined view was introduced. But a few weeks ago behavior changed. Now, if a channel is in a section, the whole team is hidden from the side rail and under the Teams section it only shows a link "View all your teams". Which you need to click and it loads list of teams in the main window, then you click on a team and it loads a list of channels and so on. Very slow. It doesn't make sense to hide entire team if you add one of the channels to some section. I still might need to access other channels and i want it to be at my fingertips, not behind 3 clicks and UI loading time. It even looks more like a bug, but probably not many users run into it as i think sections are not as popular as Microsoft have hoped.34Views0likes2Commentsmissing crumb trail in Teams channel, cant get back to highest document level

I'm using three monitors, on one monitor I usually have the Teams app window. That monitor is not my main display. I can move the Teams app windows to any of my three monitors and it stays there but as soon as I switch focus to the Teams app windows it pops back to my main display. Very annoying. Anyone experienced this behavior?Solved25KViews12likes18CommentsMouse pointer lag or delay or shaky
Hi, there is an issue when joining a Teams meetings leading to a significant lag or delay of mouse pointer speed. This happens across devices (notebooks, workstations); this is affecting a novel Logitech device connected via BT and Teams joining via web-interface, but also for Teams App. IMO this is a fundamental issue (either PHY or MS level), why a software (Teams) is suddenly "interfering" with the mouse pointer (speed). Internet bandwidth is fine at > 50 mbit. Once I logout of the meeting, the pointer is "released". Additionally, the lag is immediately "released", once another users starts sharing (taking over). Note that the lag is there before sharing anything from main-user side. Does anyone experience this "phenomena"? Are there any reports, which are known to the MS Teams dev team. Are there any ideas or concrete solutions to this issue? I consider "go to settings" not the answer, this seems to be some be internal or "layers below the surface".

Anyone have any luck with this? Know of a work around? Anything know if this is a known issue and if a fix is on the way? Once again Microsoft Support has lived up to my expectations so I'm reaching out here. Create a meeting invite link and share with a bunch of people. When clicking on the link the user is presented with options to download Teams, use the web or open with the Teams App. This applies to the Teams App link. Users with business accounts, and users who join as guest work without issue. On the join meeting window there's a link to sign in for a better experience. Clicking this link show a signing in page either indefinitely or for a while and reverts back to the join meeting window. It appears that signing in to a Teams meeting with a personal account (Outlook.com, Gmail) simply is not supported. If this is the case I would expect a message to say this but I suspect this is a bug in Teams.21KViews1like12CommentsMirror My Video Apparently Means Mirror Everything?
Most users expect Mirror My Video to mirror only their camera video, while leaving the virtual background exactly as they uploaded it. However, when Mirror My Video is enabled, Microsoft Teams also mirrors uploaded background image. So someone on MS Teams Team really thought: "The user will anticipate this and manually reverse their background images, then upload the backwards image so Teams can reverse it again!" We wait in earnest to find out if the next Teams patch will drop all pretenses and just mirror the entire display, including on screen text, menus, and the Windows Start bar.54Views0likes1CommentChat window opens on top of meeting window when clicking on Teams icon in dock (MacOS)
When I'm on a Teams video call and I'm working on another app, if I click the Teams icon in the MacOS dock, it brings up the Teams chat window on top of the Teams video call window. So I have to minimise the chat window to see the video window. This is because there is a separate window for chats as for a video meeting (and yes I have checked my settings and I have selected that new chats and incoming notifications are opened in the main window, not a new separate window) I can't even resize the chat window so that even if it's on top it's small because of this window resizing bug. That would have been a nice workaround.3.2KViews22likes14CommentsFeature Request: Add native Mute/Unmute controls to Teams interface on Android Auto
The current Microsoft Teams integration for Android Auto lacks basic in-call management. When participating in an active Teams meeting or VoIP call while driving, there is no option on the vehicle's display to mute or unmute the microphone. Because Teams routes calls through the native dialer interface or operates purely in the background, steering wheel mute controls and on-screen audio toggles do not map to the Teams application state. This forces users to physically handle their mobile devices while driving to toggle their mute status. Impact: Safety Hazard: Forcing drivers to interact with a handheld phone to mute/unmute during a corporate call defeats the purpose of a hands-free infotainment system. Broken Workflow: Users frequently experience "hot mic" situations or miss opportunities to contribute to meetings because they cannot safely toggle their microphone from the center console. Requested Solution: Please add a persistent, large Mute / Unmute toggle button directly on the Android Auto screen interface during an active Teams call, and ensure it correctly hooks into native vehicle hardware controls (like steering wheel mute buttons) where supported.81Views1like2Comments"None" option missing from Teams background options
Hi, Our teams "none" background option is missing. Forcing users to use a background or the blur backgrounds. I have tried to revert back to classic teams to see if that is a fix, but I am unable to toggle it off and it takes me to download the classic teams which is just the new teams download. I do see this message "Your org sets background to blur unless something else is selected" when trying to update the background in a call. We are not disabling this option as an organization. And I can switch to other backgrounds.1.7KViews1like6Comments
