How To Use The Microsoft Teams Milestones App
This Microsoft Teams Tutorial will demonstrate how to use the Microsoft Teams Milestones sample app. The Milestones app is a lightweight project tracking tool that provides a simple visual interface that illustrates the progress to completing project work. A sample app is one built on the Power Platform to demonstrate the extensibility of Teams when using Powerapps and Power Automate to augment it with custom solutions. Note that this app is not a full fledged project management app and more importantly it doesn't integrate with Tasks By Planner and To Do out of the box. You could build flows in Power Automate to create that integration however. https://youtu.be/uPUJTuYGiQw What are your thoughts about this app?
Bot configuration config/fetch returns same channel ID when switching channels within same team
Summary When invoking a bot’s configuration flow (configuration.fetchTask) via an @mention-based settings entry point across different channels within the same Team, the request body consistently contains the same channelId, even after switching channels. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/bots/how-to/bot-configuration-experience?tabs=teams-bot-sdk1%2Cteams-bot-sdk2%2Cteams-bot-sdk3 This makes it impossible to reliably determine which channel initiated the configuration. Environment Microsoft Teams (desktop client) Bot installed at team scope Same Team, multiple channels Bot supports team scopes. Configuration enabled via manifest: "configuration": { "team": { "fetchTask": true } } Steps to Reproduce Install the bot into a Team with multiple channels Navigate to Channel A Invoke the bot configuration using an @Bot settings / configuration entry point Observe the incoming config/fetch request payload Note the channelId in the request body Switch to Channel B (same Team) Invoke the same configuration entry point again Observe the incoming config/fetch request payload Expected Behavior The config/fetch request body should include a channel identifier corresponding to the channel where the configuration was initiated, e.g.: channelData.channel.id or another channel-scoped identifier that uniquely identifies the initiating channel Actual Behavior The config/fetch request body always contains the same channel ID The channel ID does not change when switching channels The value appears to be: either the Team’s General channel or a cached / team-level channel context As a result, the bot cannot determine which channel the user intended to configure. Impact This behavior prevents implementing per-channel configuration using the bot configuration experience because: Configuration requests cannot be reliably scoped to the initiating channel All configuration actions appear to target the same channel Users configuring different channels in the same Team unintentionally overwrite the same settings Additional Notes This occurs within the same Team Reproduced consistently across multiple channels Observed even when the configuration is invoked after explicitly switching channels Behavior suggests the configuration context may be team-scoped rather than channel-scoped, but this is not clearly documented
Set work location via API (Graph?)
Hey community! The new work hours and location feature is rolling out for Outlook and Teams: https://blog.admindroid.com/work-hours-and-location-in-outlook-for-efficient-collaboration/ Does anyone know who to read and write this information (especially the location) via API / Microsoft Graph? This is a nice feature and we would like to set this programmatically. Thank you very much! Best regards, JensTeams Messaging Gets Autocorrect
The addition of Autocorrect for messaging is a small but important change for Teams messaging brings Teams up to speed with the other Office applications. It’s taken Teams a little longer than it perhaps should have to support Autocorrect and the implementation is not as functional as it is in Outlook, but that’s not a reason to overlook the update. https://office365itpros.com/2025/12/10/teams-autocorrect-messaging/
Images in Adaptive Cards in New Teams Client not showing
Hello Community, I've encountered an issue with Teams Webhook Connector where images in Adaptive Cards are not displaying correctly in the New Teams Client, although they work as expected in the classic version. Our clients have reported that while messages are visible, the images fail to appear. This problem does not occur in the classic Teams client or when viewed in a browser, which I presume is utilizing the classic client as well. To clarify, I'm using the latest Adaptive Cards version (v1.5) compatible with Teams, and this issue is consistent across both Windows and Apple versions of the New Teams Client. Unfortunately, there seems to be no information available about this compatibility issue in the Adaptive Cards documentation or designer tool. Below is a simple Adaptive Card JSON that illustrates the problem: { "type": "AdaptiveCard", "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "size": "Medium", "weight": "Bolder", "text": "This is a headline" }, { "type": "Image", "url": "https://img.cdn-pictorem.com/uploads/collection/D/DN4DFF8JRC/900_Nature-Art_colorful--paintings.jpg", "width": "300px" } ], "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.5" } For visual reference, here is how the card renders in both clients: Classic Teams Client: New Teams Client: I have not found a workaround yet and would greatly appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue. Any suggestions or updates regarding the new client's support for Adaptive Cards would be very helpful. Thank you. Best regardsPreview exited, now GA: Out of Office Scheduling

Communications Credits for GCC
Microsoft has stated that after November 1, 2025, Teams resource accounts (Auto Attendants/Call Queues) making outbound PSTN calls will require Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) licensing or Communication Credits instead of Calling Plans. For GCC tenants, where exactly are Communication Credits configured and assigned? In commercial tenants this is typically done through the Microsoft 365 admin center under Billing > Communication credits, but I’m not seeing equivalent options in GCC. Has anyone successfully set this up in GCC, or is PAYG handled differently for government tenants?Say Goodbye to "Can You Hear Me?" with Teams New Mic Volume Indicator
In this video, we explore the latest feature coming to Microsoft Teams: the Mic Volume Indicator! This new addition provides users with real-time visual feedback on their audio levels during meetings, ensuring you never have to ask, "Can you hear me?" again. Designed to minimize interruptions and boost user confidence, this feature is set to enhance meeting effectiveness significantly. #Teams #MicrosoftTeams #Tool #MVPbuzz #ProductivityTeams auto attendant holiday call flow problems
I have a holiday schedule applied to an auto attendant. That schedule contains all of our annual holidays. In the auto attendant holiday call flow routing options, I have it play an audio file and I specify menu options to redirect to voicemail or to search by name. What I want to do is just change the audio file that's played for the greeting to be appropriate for the holiday (we'll be closed for Christmas, New Year, etc.). But when I delete the current audio file and upload a new one, the Save option is greyed out. I thought perhaps it was just auto-saved, so go out to the list of auto attendants, then back into that attendant and check to see what audio file is listed. It's the one I just uploaded. Ok, cool. I refresh the browser tab and check again. Now it's the previous greeting. The only way I have found to save that new audio file, is to make some other change to the call flow (change Directory search option) which makes the Save button available. I save it and it takes me out of the holiday call flow setting, so I go back in (my new greeting is now saved) and change the Directory search option back to what it was previously and save again. There's got to be an easier way, right?
No longer able to add Teams link in invite from shared calendar in browser
Since one or two weeks I am no longer able to add a Teams link to an invite that I send from a shared emailaccount/calendar when I am using the browser link instead of the Outlook app. My situation: I am a contractor, working remotely for a company on my personal laptop. I have a personal company account (mailbox/calendar/Teams etc.). I support a specific team that meets regularly. I take care of organizing all the team meetings, and because I am not working every minute of the day, we decided to send invites for the whole team from the shared mailbox of the team, so that if I am not around immediately, others can adjust the invites as well. This worked perfectly for years. But since one or two weeks I am no longer able to add a Teams link when I access the account throught the browser (same for my colleagues). My colleagues can still add a Teams link when they use the Outlook app, however, since I am working on a personal laptop I cannot install the app and have to work from the browser. I reached out to internal IT support of course, but they can't help me unfortunately. First they stated that this never worked (which is not true, because I have been doing this for years) and later they stated that it is a change from the Microsoft end so they cannot solve it. Is this correct? And if so, what other ways of working would be available to reach the goal we are after (me setting up all initial meetings but others being able to adjust the invites as well when needed)? I also tried adding one colleague as a co-organizor, but it turned out that this colleague can still not change the meeting details..... Anyone here can help/advise?Remote participants can't hear me when they speak
Hi, I've been trying to solve this problem for a long time. We're using Windows 11 (previously Windows 10) with all the latest updates. We have a Jabra 810 connected to our computer. Everything works fine. But when the other person starts talking, he stops hearing us (or our voice is so quiet they don't notice). As soon as he stops talking, he starts hearing us normally again. What could be the cause, and how can I fix this? Best regards, DmitryTask Module shows popup but Adaptive Card does not render using M365 Agent SDK (Python)
I am using the new M365 Agent SDK for Python to return a Task Module (task/fetch). The popup opens successfully when I click the button in Teams, but the Adaptive Card inside the Task Module does not render. Instead, Teams shows the generic error: “Unable to reach app. Please try again.” My invoke handler returns the following structure: adaptive_card = { "type": "AdaptiveCard", "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.4", "body": [ {"type": "TextBlock", "text": "Sample task module card"}, {"type": "Input.Text", "id": "notes", "isMultiline": True} ], "actions": [ { "type": "Action.Submit", "title": "Submit", "data": {"action": "sample_task_submit"} } ] } task_response = { "task": { "type": "continue", "value": { "title": "Dialog", "width": "medium", "height": "medium", "card": { "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "content": adaptive_card } } } } return InvokeResponse(status=200, body=task_response) Key symptoms: Task module window opens (so invoke is successful) Adaptive card does not render Shows “Unable to reach app” inside popup No errors in server logs This happens only with Task Modules; normal message replies work fine Questions: Is the above Task Module response format correct for the new M365 Agent SDK for Python? Does the SDK require a different return type or content-type for invoke responses? Are Task Modules fully supported in the M365 Agent SDK preview? Is there an example of returning a Task Module using the Python SDK? Any clarification or working sample for Python would be very helpful. Screen shot -Graph API: summary field ignored for Adaptive Card message notifications/preview
Hello, Problem Summary When sending Adaptive Cards via Microsoft Graph API to Teams chats, the `summary` field in the message payload is completely ignored. This results in unhelpful generic notifications like "Card" or "Sent an attachment" instead of meaningful preview text. Environment - **API**: Microsoft Graph API v1.0 - **Endpoint**: `POST /chats/{chat-id}/messages` - **Platform**: Microsoft Teams (Desktop, Web, Mobile) - **Adaptive Card Version**: 1.5 Expected Behavior According to the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/chatmessage?view=graph-rest-1.0, the `summary` property should be used for: > "Summary text of the message that could be used for push notifications and summary views or fall back views" When sending a message with `summary: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue"`, I expect: - ✅ Teams notification toast displays: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" - ✅ Chat list preview shows: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" - ✅ Activity feed shows: "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" Actual Behavior The `summary` field has **no effect** on notifications or previews: - ❌ Notification shows generic text: "Card" or "Sent an attachment" - ❌ Chat list preview shows generic text or first TextBlock from card - ❌ Activity feed shows generic text - ❌ The `summary` field appears to be completely ignored Minimal Reproduction Request Payload ```json POST https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/chats/{chat-id}/messages Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Bearer {token} { "body": { "contentType": "html", "content": "<attachment id=\"card001\"></attachment>" }, "attachments": [ { "id": "card001", "contentType": "application/vnd.microsoft.card.adaptive", "content": { "type": "AdaptiveCard", "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json", "version": "1.5", "body": [ { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Critical Alert", "weight": "bolder", "size": "large", "color": "attention" }, { "type": "TextBlock", "text": "Database connection has failed. Please investigate immediately.", "wrap": true } ], "actions": [ { "type": "Action.OpenUrl", "title": "View Details", "url": "https://example.com/alerts/12345" } ] } } ], "summary": "🚨 Big Alert: This is a real issue" } ``` Steps to Reproduce Create a test chat in Microsoft Teams Obtain OAuth2 token with `Chat.ReadWrite` scope Send the above payload via Graph API Observe notification/preview in Teams client **Result**: The `summary` field is ignored, notification shows generic text. Business Impact This limitation severely impacts user experience for: - **Alert/incident notifications** - Users can't identify urgency without opening the chat - **High-volume scenarios** - Users can't triage messages efficiently - **Time-sensitive operations** - Critical alerts look identical to routine messages Our team manages 200+ incident notifications daily via Adaptive Cards. Without meaningful previews, users must open every notification to assess priority, defeating the purpose of notifications. Workarounds Attempted ❌ **Setting `summary` at message level** - Ignored when attachments present ❌ **Adding preview text in `body.content`** - Overwritten by attachment ❌ **Using different `contentType` values** - No improvement ❌ **Including fallback text in Adaptive Card** - Not displayed in preview ✅ **Only working solution**: Send plain text message first, then card separately (terrible UX) Questions **Is this a bug or by design?** If by design, why does the documentation describe `summary` as useful for notifications? **Is there an alternative mechanism** to control preview text for Adaptive Card messages? **Is this being tracked internally?** This seems like a fundamental limitation for bot developers. Full Reproduction Package I've created a complete reproduction package with test scripts and detailed documentation: - Test payload JSON - Bash/PowerShell test scripts - Step-by-step reproduction guide Can share via GitHub gist if helpful for the team to investigate. Request Please either: **Fix the implementation** to honor the `summary` field for Adaptive Card messages, OR **Provide an alternative mechanism** to control notification/preview text, OR **Update the documentation** to clarify that `summary` is not supported for Adaptive Cards This is blocking our production alert system deployment. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! ---
Teams recording unavailable when Copilot is disabled tenant‑wide
When Copilot is disabled tenant‑wide, the ability to record meetings in Teams disappears. This is a bug: recording and Copilot should be technically independent features. The issue is reproducible and has major compliance impact. Previous support cases were closed without resolution, and new incidents receive no response. We urgently request Microsoft to acknowledge this as a bug, provide a temporary workaround, and communicate a permanent fix.Removing someone from team and team meetings
Good morning I have set up a team with several internal and external contacts. I have created a reoccurring meeting for the team. If the team members change (a contact added or removed) will the meeting adjust accordingly? IE will those removed from the team be removed from the meeting and those added to the team - will they receive a meeting invitation? Thanks in advanceProblems with synchronizing speed dial buttons between Yealink MP56 E2 and Yealink EXP50
Hello everyone, I have the following problem. We have several Yealink MP56 E2 Teams phones with connected Yealink EXP50 key extensions. Unfortunately, for about half a year now, the synchronization of speed dial keys between the phone and the key extension has only been possible to a limited extent. Specifically, you can create contacts on the phone and add them to speed dial via the phone. However, in 99 out of 100 cases, this is not synchronized. The same applies to deleting contacts. What's strange is that the deleted contact is not actually deleted from the phone itself and reappears after 2 seconds. I had already read that this error has occurred from time to time in recent years. Unfortunately, there has been no noticeable improvement in the last six months. I have already tried the following: Resetting the phone, rebooting after changes, disconnecting the connection between MP56 E2 and EXP50, logging back into the phone, updating the phone's firmware and the phone's Teams app. Unfortunately, none of this has been successful. Does anyone else have any ideas or has Microsoft made an official statement that there are problems here?
