CSPP Integration: Can a Timer Be Implemented as a Word/Excel Add‑in?
Hi everyone, I’m currently integrating Microsoft Word and Excel into our platform and making sure we follow all the recommended UI guidelines. In our solution, we use an internal timer component that runs while users are working inside our product(I mean the timer shows total time left for their tasks something like this). I’m trying to understand whether this timer can be built or installed as an Office Add‑in for Word and Excel. Would implementing it as an add‑in still align with Microsoft’s UI guidelines? Any guidance or clarification would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has some insight around OneDrive files on-demand. I found that clicking the button to free up space works just fine and all of my items switch to cloud unless I am accessing something, however, when I try to implement this via group policy, I can see the policy is being pushed because the files on-demand section of settings is now grayed out but it is not uploading everything to cloud. In fact, nothing seems to change like it does when I was able to click the button. We have tried this on multiple computers and get the same results. No GPO and the button works fine, with GPO, it's grayed out but doing nothing. Am I missing something with the GPO to force that upload to cloud? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Impossible to sign in with different user account
I use this browser with two MS accounts. The techcommunity does not let me choose the user account to sign in with! I'm forced to open a private window to sign in and write this feedback. So when clicking Sign In, it thinks I want to sign in with my M365 company account, and asks me to accept certain permissions. However, I want to sign in with my personal MS account. So I click cancel and get redirected to the home page. So, in order to visit the site with my personal MS account, must either use a private windows, or clear every single cookie for every single Microsoft domain, which is also NOT what I want to do. This is simply unacceptable and driving me away from using the techcommunity at all! I made a video for you to show you how broken the sign in flow is: https://i.imgur.com/KnxnPKM.mp4
Wifi constantly drops in Windows 11
Apologies in advance of this question has been asked but I've been experiencing an issue for the past 2-3 weeks that has been driving me nuts. My wifi connection seems to constantly drop throughout the day while using my Windows 11 laptop. I've tried 1) restarting 2) restarting the router 3) uninstalling/reinstalling the latest Wi-Fi driver recommended by my manufacturer 4) Uninstalling reinstalling the latest Intel wifi driver recommended 5) Network reset and it still consistently happens. All my other devices stay connected. I've noticed that it tends to particular happen after I upload large files to Dropbox or Google Drive. Other odd happenings include being able to maintain a video call yet if I try to access a website there is no connection all the while the video call maintains. I'm tempted to take this to the Best Buy geek squad but I'm worried they either won't put that much effort into and/or will just tell me to do a complete Windows reinstall which I don't feel will help. Because the connection comes and goes, I tend to not think it's a hardware issue but let me know if you have any thoughts.
"Authorization has been denied for this request"
Hello, We’re encountering an issue with sending proactive messages to Microsoft Teams. We have multiple tenants, and in one of them the REST API works correctly. The app registration is multi-tenant, and we obtain the access token from https://login.microsoftonline.com/botframework.com/oauth2/v2.0/token, which works without any problems. However, in another tenant the same flow fails with "Authorization has been denied for this request", even though we are still able to retrieve the access token. After decoding both tokens, everything matches except for the tid. I also tried switching the app to single-tenant and requesting the token from https://login.microsoftonline.com/<my-tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token. This returns a valid token, but using it to send a proactive message results in the same authorization error. My understanding from recent documentation is that multi-tenant bot creation has been deprecated and bots should now migrate to a single-tenant model. Does this also apply to bots created in the Developer Portal? The Bot Framework REST API documentation doesn’t explicitly mention any changes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-authentication?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=multitenant#bot-to-connector I could also see multiple users facing the same issue, so is there a bug that is currently preventing some tenants from using the service?

URGENT HELP- cant access admin centre for my business

Teams B2B sync on macOS
Hi all, I have set up B2B collaboration between two Microsoft 365 tenants. Each tenant has its own Teams environment and users can switch tenants inside the Teams app without any problems. Both sides would like to work in each other's Teams channels and they also want something very specific. They want OneDrive on macOS to sync both their own tenant’s files and the other tenant’s files locally in Finder. This is where things break. Everything looks correctly configured. B2B collaboration is enabled on both tenants Guest access is allowed Sharing settings are set to the least restrictive level When a user opens a SharePoint library in the other tenant and clicks Sync, the OneDrive popup shows up and macOS asks to open the OneDrive app, but then nothing happens. No new library appears in OneDrive and there is no error. My question is whether this is simply an expected limitation. Can OneDrive on macOS actually sync document libraries from a different tenant when the user is only a B2B guest? Or is this not supported? I have seen mixed information. Some people say guests cannot sync cross tenant libraries at all. Others say it only works when the team is set up as a Shared Channel. Before restructuring everything I want to confirm the real behaviour. Do I need to create a Shared Team or Shared Channel to make cross tenant file sync work in Finder? Or is the missing sync just how OneDrive behaves for B2B guests on macOS? Any real world experience would be very helpful.RSS feed blocking readers
Hey recently my RSS feeds all stopped working, like 20 days or so ago. Using Feeder and its saying the RSS feed is likely blocking bots which means its unable to query the RSS. Anyone know who to contact about that? Or an RSS reader that still works? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/rss/board?board.id=IntegrationsonAzureBlog
Problem with E drive
Hi. I have what looks to be a software issue on E:\ drive, but when I contacted Microsoft live chat support they are saying it looks more like a hardware problem, but the error says it's about either a missing App, or an association problem. I can't attach a screenshot, or copy/paste, but this is the error that shows:- E:\ This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page. I don't have a clue what this means, or even where to look. It's a fairly new system, I only got it in Feb this year. This has only just very recently started happening. I am getting the attached error whenever I use either an SD card reader, or the External drive. I've tried several different cards, and different readers, in most of my USB ports. This makes using any external drive a bit glitchy. Is there any way that anyone can help, or any suggestions where to look? I really need this drive working properly. Thanks.
