Re: Enabling Microsoft Teams Room for Meeting Forwarding and Adding External Parties
mike_powellis correct - and because these false commands are here - Copilot draws from them and continues to generate false answers. It would appear that ProcessExternalMeetingMessages $true is the command that allows you to forward a Teams Invite to a Teams Room so that you hold the meeting in the room rather than at your desk. When you do so - the originator of the meeting will get the room acceptance message - not you. So - it's best if you can open up the calendar of the room involved to verify that it was accepted.577Views0likes0CommentsRe: Can't remove Viva Insights Outlook Add-on
Jake_Caddes I did create a ticket and worked with someone who understood the issue pretty well. They gave me some powershell commands - because that's always the solution when the web options are limited - right? After being connected, you will want to use the following command to disable the add-in for your UPN: Set-MyAnalyticsFeatureConfig -Identity mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons -Feature add-in -isEnabled $false Once this has been completed, please run this command to confirm if the add-in has been disabled: Get-MyAnalyticsFeatureConfig –Identity mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons Now - this disabled it in Outlook - but the button didn't immediate disappear. However, after about 24 hours - I think I was able to remove it - without it being forced back on. I honestly can't remember the exact sequence of events. This page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/insights/advanced/setup-maint/configure-personal-insights#enable-or-disable-viva-insights-features has more powershell commands - as there is a different one if you want to do this for your tenant. Hope this helps.3.3KViews1like1CommentRe: Can't remove Viva Insights Outlook Add-on
Just checked the article - and unfortunately - it's from 2022 and none of those options exist anymore. There were some links at the bottom - but still no go. In the M365 Console / Settings / Viva / Manage settings for Viva Insights / the web experience is the only thing checked. Digest, Add in and schedule send suggestions are all unchecked. And yet, I can't even remove the button from the button bar. Frustrating.3.3KViews0likes6CommentsCan't remove Viva Insights Outlook Add-on
I've turned on Viva Insights in Teams and have even tied our SharePoint Intranet to it. But every email message in Outlook, whether classic or new, has a Viva Insights button in the button bar - and I'd like to remove it. In fact, I don't even see where I added it. It's not selected in the M365 console. I can't remove it in the Manage Apps area in Outlook - and if I edit the button bar - it comes back again. Suggestions?SolvedRe: Prepare-PlacesEnablement script fails with "Please run the PreparePlacesPowershell7 script first"

AdamK_DC I hacked away at it until I got it. But I won't be able to say that fully until I see that the web view works. We're a small org with several meeting rooms. Not even sure this will be worth it.1.9KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Prepare-PlacesEnablement script fails with "Please run the PreparePlacesPowershell7 script first"

mr_aryalcode444 Slight progress, but no success. I had failed to install and run PreparePlaces. Instead I had installed and run PrepareGroups. So I installed and ran PreparePlacesPowershell7. It started to work - but then threw up errors also. PlacesEnablement still threw up the error to run PreparePlacesPowershell7 first. I think I'm getting closer. Maybe other modules are needed?

We are a small association spread thinly around the world. We have two Microsoft Teams Room devices in our Washington Office. One is a Poly Studio X30 and the other is a Yealink A30. In both cases, we have experienced a behavior - almost repeatable at will - where, if the X30 or A30 joins a scheduled meeting FIRST - no video is broadcast from the room. But if the X30 or A30 joins SECOND or later - then the video from the room is seen - no problems. Similarly - if someone calls the room directly via Teams - they will see whoever is in the room. However, if the room calls someone directly - or creates a "Meet Now" meeting and adds a user - they will not see the room. This is a terrible bug. I've opened a ticket via our M365 admin portal - but my hopes are not high for that avenue of service. Thoughts?720Views0likes3CommentsRe: Copilot in Teams /Preview /Premium
I decided that to better understand Copilot for Teams, I removed the Teams Premium license from my user account. Right now, I'm more concerned with the limitations for the Copilot for Teams rollout. It mainly only works for scheduled 1-1 or 1-Many meetings - because you have a legacy chat area after the meeting ends. Thus, you can go back to that meeting, click the Copilot icon, and ask for a recap AFTER THE MEETING ENDS. From what I can tell, you cannot do this with a Channel Meeting or an unscheduled audio or video call. Yes - Copilot is available in those circumstances, but only during the call. Once you hang up - I cannot find a way back to those meetings to query Copilot. I find this to be very limiting. When everyone is hanging up on an unscheduled call or a channel meeting - you tend to do the same thing...hang up. It's only then that you wish to have a meeting recap. And then you discover that it's not available. Similarly - the "Follow" feature rarely shows up. I haven't seen it yet. But this video shows it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRLskfAG2P44.1KViews0likes0CommentsCopilot for Teams features for Channel Meetings as opposed to Regular Meetings
For several years, I've scheduled our small departmental meetings as channel meetings rather than one-to-many meetings. I think there is a benefit to doing this. We are now using our M365 Copilot trial licenses (1 Week) and I'm starting to activate Copilot during meetings. This starts the transcription service and allows you to request a recap. Because I also have a Teams Premium license - the meeting has a recap section - but that only works if you use the Teams Premium feature of recording the meeting - which starts transcription and offers a recap. With Copilot - it seems you have to formally request a recap of the meeting. If you leave the meeting first - you can go back into the chat section of the meeting and request a meeting recap after the fact. But with a channel meeting, there is no separate chat section of that specific meeting. The chat is in the channel and that's by design. If you start copilot during a channel meeting - it appears that you MUST request the recap of the meeting while you are still in the meeting - because after you leave the meeting you lose the copilot session for that meeting and you can no longer ask for a recap - because the meeting is over. You can, however, download the transcript after the fact. However, you are then stuck with a transcript but no summary. The best I could do was to re-download the transcription as a docx file and then open it in word and then ask Copilot in Word to "summarize this file." Very awkward. Bottom line - it's very unlikely that one can remember to ask for a recap of the meeting while you are still in the meeting. And since you can go back and get a recap in normal meetings after you leave - one would expect you can do so in a Channel Meeting - but so far you can't. All-in-all, while this shows potential - it is kludgy and painful at the moment. I hope this is improved.2.9KViews3likes4CommentsRe: Copilot in Teams /Preview /Premium
Teams Premium and Copilot are two distinct products and licenses. There is overlap between the two when it comes to Teams specifically. Without a copilot license - no copilot featuers will work. But Teams Premium will still allow you to record, transcribe and summarize the meeting.4KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Generate AI Notes and Mentions using Copilot
I've been using copilot a week - and for Teams I'm seeing the same thing. I'll start Copilot transcription at the beginning of the meeting - because my understanding is that any recap or notes is dependent on that. No recap occurs unless I specifically ask for a recap - and it's that much more difficult if I've left the meeting - and then want a recap. Tons of potential - but the process isn't smooth.23KViews0likes0CommentsResource calendar won't accept requests when created in M365 Admin.
I've stumbled onto a bug where resource calendars I create in the M365 Admin Console - as instructed - will not automatically process meeting requests. I've doublechecked systems via GUI and PowerShell. Nonetheless, meeting requests sit as tentative in the resource calendar. I've repeated this issue by creating more test resource calendars. I even opened up a ticket with 365 support and they reviewed my PowerShell scripts and declared them good. Finally - I created a resource calendar in the Exchange Online Resource Section rather than the M365 Admin console. Then, and only then, did it work. There may be many reasons why this is - but whatever it is - I found it. There is a bug where resource calendars only work when created in Exchange Online rather than in the main admin screen - in my tenant anyway.1.4KViews0likes2Comments
