Definitely not the first post, but I was wondering, any mini tips for how I can keep my activity status up when I am away. I am a WFH that works through a VM remote connection for security, my company tracks these values unfortunately so are there any tips or life hacks that I can do at home to circumvent the status change? I tried to keep a claw clip on my ctrl key but that does not work, any suggestions?
Hey all! Thanks for all the discussion and feedback when posting about experiencing a bug in Teams. We realize these can really disrupt flow and hearing directly from this community shapes what we prioritize.
Submitting feedback
If you run into a bug, the fastest way to get it in front of engineering is inside Teams: Settings and more > Feedback > Report a problem (use Suggest a feature for feature requests). Including logs and screenshots makes a huge difference. The more details the better: it gives our team exactly what they need to triage quickly. If you do not see the Report a problem or Suggest a feature options, please contact your admin.
We monitor these closely, and this is the most direct way to solve bugs and helps our team address them sooner. That’s a win-win for everyone.
I’ve used teams for many years. Starting a few weeks ago when I start to talk on calls people say I sound like a robot or far away. Once I talk for a while it does get better. I thought maybe my internet was the problem so upgraded and now I’m getting over 500+ speed but yet it’s still glitching. I’m not sure what to do because talking on teams is the biggest part of my job. Any tips or ideas of what I can do?
Hi there,
We have been using the meeting recording / transcription feature in some teams. We now want to enable it for the entire company. However, HR has legal concerns regarding privacy and stuff.
Thus, we are now searching for a way to only allow recording when everyone in the meeting anonymously and unanimously agrees to it.
I have already found the "explicit consent" feature. However, this does not block recording only mutes and disables your camera if you don't consent.
Does anyone here have experience with the topic and can point me in the right direction.
Many thanks :)
So we are onboarding a new colleague on our teams channels and I've started to rethink why I chose Teams and their services.
Simply adding a new member to our current channel does not exist as an option and I still haven't found out how to do this.
OVERCOMPLICATED BLOAT Software provider = MS
EDIT: I understand that you can learn the platform, but you also need to understand that I am not the IT guy, I am the business user and I just want it to work like slack where things are understandable, placed as expected and their workflows work like we've been used to on other daily platforms.
Since our company does not yet have an IT person with experience, I'm thinking of raising a request to change with another user-friendly provider. If anyone wants to suggest any provider not well known, I'm willing to check them out. TY
When selecting Transcribe Only in; Teams Meeting -> Meeting Options -> Recording and Transcription -> Automatically record and transcribe, the error message "something went wrong" appears.
This only happens with this option; "Record and Transcribe" proceeds without issues.
We've tried this across 2 tenants so far, neither works.
So far no workarounds have been spotted either.
It only shows a check mark not that she viewed it. She doesn’t respond to others either. So is she just not checking even if she is online? We only have it on our computer not on our phones.
We run a regular Teams meeting where we review different imaging studies.
Currently, one person shares radiology images, then another person has to stop that screen share and take over to share endoscopy images.
Is there any way in Microsoft Teams for two different people to share content simultaneously, or switch between presenters more seamlessly?
Hi everyone,
we’re seeing a strange issue in the Microsoft Teams desktop app where German umlauts / special characters are no longer displayed correctly in the incoming call popup.
Example:
A caller named “König, [..]” is shown as “K�nig, [..]” in the Teams incoming call notification.
The name itself appears correctly in other places, but the incoming call screen seems to have an encoding/display problem.
Environment:
ä, ö, üHas anyone else noticed this recently?
Is this a known bug in the current Teams desktop client, or is there any workaround besides waiting for a client update?
Thanks!
I want to be able to answer the teams call from the phone and screen share from the laptop teams app.
This is available for meetings but MSFT for some reason doesn’t allow for regular calls.
Has anyone been able to hack or find a way around this?
Hi r/mondaydotcom! 👋I'm thinking about building Smart Notify — a simple app that sends real-time notifications to Slack or Microsoft Teams whenever items change on your monday.com boards.How it would work:- Pick which board(s) to watch- Choose what triggers a notification (status update, assignment, date change, etc.)- Connect your Slack/Teams webhook URL- Done — get notified in secondsMy question: Is this something you'd actually use? Do you struggle with missing board updates?Comment if this would solve a real problem for you!
Evening everyone.
The company I work for has been having some Teams issues for the last 5-6 weeks.
At first we thought it was a network issue but we've since proven its not. Now we're onto it being a Teams issue.
When joining a 1:1 call (or a meeting with only 2 people) users will experience a hold screen for a few seconds within the first 2 mins of the call. After that its fine.
As per instrcutions from support company, we tried with camera on/off, mic on/off, connected to dock/not connected to dock etc.. It happens with users at home as well as in the office.
It's almost entirely Macbooks that are seeing this but nothing on any telemetry/monitoring system. Teams Version 26106.2108.4669.9776
Just reaching out incase anyone else has seen it or experienced similar.
TIA
Finally found the solution. The issue was mac was using intel graphics and not using the AMD graphics. Due to this during teams screen share there was a lag. Go to system settings->Battery->Options...-> Turn off automatic graphics switching. Also there is an app available to this gfxCardStatus which will add switch at top bar for switching graphics.
I'm looking for an audio file for my alarm clock that's essentially Teams ringing sound and or notifications but loud and more obnoxious to help wake up up for work.
Nothing is more triggering than an unexpected teams call / notification when you work remotely, so I'm looking for a sound like that to use as my backup alarm clock sound in case I over sleep. I feel like it will quickly give me an adrenaline rush to wake up 😅
Looking for more of a remix because the original ring is a big soft and or a repeat of the teams ping and then the call sound? Idk but something like that.
Thanks in advance!
Auto lock is turned off on the phone and the app is not running in background (active on screen), does this work?
Our manager has recently mandated that we start using Out of Office status, but having to keep updating the start and end dates/times, is a bit tedious and several of us keep forgetting to do it?
Is there a way to simply select the times that I would be OoO and Teams would simply apply it to every work day?
Just what the title says…. The company that I work for is making the switch from Slack/Zoom to Teams. Everyone is in a huge panic because we don’t know anything about Teams. The switch is presumably due to cost although no one is saying so. What do I need to know about how to navigate this transition? Thanks!!
I’m really not familiar with Teams but I’m trying to help a colleague figure out an issue.
We hold video sessions with clients via Teams using a permanent link. Every client is sent the link so they can join the meeting if they choose to attend by video. They both join the meeting it when it’s time for the appointment.
A client has just informed her that while they were in the waiting room for their session they could see chat messages previously sent between my colleague and other clients. This client could read out things that had been written in previous sessions with other clients. This could be a huge problem for confidentiality reasons.
Please tell me what settings we have wrong or what we should be doing differently.
Hello, I have Teams on a Windows tablet PC and since yesterday it will not launch.
I have tried Reset and Repair with no luck. I tried uninstalling it, rebooting and re-installing with no luck.
Today I tried the Windows Reset option and it still won't launch!
I have also did the cache delete that is commonly suggested on google searches.
The tablet is on Windows 11 Education 26200.8390.
Hey everyone,
posting this as a standalone report since I'm seeing this issue pop up in multiple threads without a clear resolution.
Setup:
Symptom: Microphone works perfectly on mobile and in every other app on the laptop. The moment a Teams call starts, Teams receives zero mic input. Windows Sound Settings show the mic is active and picking up audio — Teams just doesn't receive it. Mute/unmute via headset buttons is recognized by Teams, but irrelevant since no audio gets through anyway. Speaker works fine in Teams throughout.
Already tried:
Just opened a Microsoft support ticket. Has anyone found a reliable fix or workaround?
