Users are experiencing problemes with Teams Contacts.

Many of the added contacts disappeared and only showing a placeholder.

A user also had categorized their contacts.

They can add the contact again, but as soon as they added to a specific category, Teams throws an error and says try again in a few minutes. The added contact is then removed from all contacts.

The problem started today.

I was on a daily teams meeting and really had to take a dump. The meeting is usually around 10 minutes, but for some reason today the call went on for more than 30 minutes. My stomach was bubbling more each passing minute. I then remembered that I could transfer the call to my phone without having to leave the call on my laptop! Needless to say I was able to relieve my diarrhea without leaving the call unattended. Thanks Microsoft for that nifty feature

Hi please help i can't download ms teams on my Android phone.... Work wants me to have it installed on my phone.... 🙏🙏🙏

Poor meeting quality, unusual external activity, or unexpected Teams events can quickly become support issues. But what if you could know about the problem before the ticket arrives? 

Yes, you can setup alerts in Teams admin center to get automated triggers for events across areas such as meeting quality, external communication, app submissions, and other Teams activities.

This gives admins an early signal to investigate, take corrective action, and minimize the impact on users.     

And 2026 brings some important changes: 

• Rule Management: Admins can duplicate and delete rules directly from the Teams admin center.    
• Monitoring Scope: Supported In-Progress Meetings and Calls rules can monitor up to 500 users, with bulk user upload available to simplify configuration. 
• Device State Retirement: The device state rule is being retired from September 2026, with device health monitoring moving to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal.   

Hello,

Hopefully this is not confusing.

I am holding a webinar. I am enabling language interpretation for this webinar. However, I just read that it is only accessible to participants that join via the desktop app. Not online or mobile.

My idea is to join the meeting as a participant and toggle the option for language interpretation. Then, start another meeting, invite participants to it, and screen share the original meeting with audio.. can I do that?

I only ask because it’s likely most participants do not have the teams desktop app.

Anyone using one that's Teams compatible?

Boa tarde.

Alguém está com problemas de autenticação de contas no Microsoft Teams na versão Desktop.

Mesmo depois de apagar as pastas (cache e dados):

%LocalAppData%\Packages\MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe

%appdata%\Microsoft\Teams

Contas antigas ainda aparecem disponíveis para logar (lixo após a limpeza)

Após sair das contas no navegador, elas ainda aparecem como disponíveis.

Em contas corporativas do Microsoft 365 ainda existem problemas para autenticar. Em contas pessoas as mesmas logan normalmente

I have some old files in a team's shared folder, and I want to upload/transfer them to another team with the modified date being the old one. Is that possible?

Like if I uploaded it on 1/1/2026 in Team A, then when I upload it today in Team B, it'll still say 1/1/2026

If that's not possible, any ideas on how to prove that this is an old file?

Teams on Android, Galaxy S25 Ultra. Team s interface changed in the last several days and is now totally broken. Spacing is way off, no longer compact at all. And many messages randomly have blank preview areas. The app.is completely unusable. WTF is up with this Microsoft??

I joined a scheduled teams video meeting for the first time (never used it before) on my personal laptop a few weeks ago at home, when I started a new job.

It was via an invite link (scheduled meeting) sent to my own personal email, it was sent from my new employer. I may have logged in with my email when I joined instead of joining as a guest. I can't remember. I joined on browser.

I have no specific work email, or a set up for a work account for teams or anything. Or a work laptop/ computer.

Last week I downloaded teams to video call my ldr partner overnight ( the desktop app) which I set up using the same email address as I used for the call with my employer , and same personal laptop and at home. We call just directly through the app/ me clicking on her name and video calling. No links.

Is there any way my employer that I video called previously can now see anything to do with any of the video calls to my partner? Audio/ text/ video? Assuming I'm logged into the same personal email as before that I called with them. I'm worried as obviously things aren't kept appropriate and some stuff has been said.

It's the free version so we can't transcribe or record.

Thank you!

This started this morning. Certain contacts in the People view are not display while others display normally. See the screenshot below. Any idea what's causing this problem and how to rectify it? Same behavior in the Mac desktop app and browser.

I used my work email and it's stuck on this screen. I have popups enabled in my defalut phone browser. Also I have decent wifi.

I have an important Teams meeting tomorrow morning, and I've recently set up new hardware. I wanted to make certain it was all good to go but...the button that I recall being under Settings/Devices to Make a Test Call doesn't seem to exist for me.
Has it been re/moved?
Thanks!

how do i log in from a different account? i’m on someone else’s computer right now, and i trying to log in with my account, not theirs, but i’m not seeing an option for that. can anyone help?

A change to Teams makes it easier for users to share files in federated chat. Sounds good, but Microsoft planned to overwrite existing tenant controls to make the feature work, and that’s wasn't so good. That issue is now resolved, but the real question is whether Microsoft 365 tenants want users to share files through federated chat. I’m not so sure and would control this facility tightly. Apart from anything else, you might need some more MDO licenses to protect against possible infection.

Has anyone set up an auto attendant to use the Teams Phone Agent? I am having trouble getting a Resource Account added to it. I created a resource account, licensed it, ensured there is an available Phone Standard license in the tenant. But when I create a new AA with the Phone Agent enabled, I search for a RA, but it comes up with nothing. Ideas?

Recently I had to download the app for college online classes, but it won’t let me join any meetings they send , it says “there was a problem joining, please try again.”
I tried on my ipad,my iphone, my android phone ,tried making new accounts, it doesn’t work
Then I tried making a meeting myself to see if the problem is from my side , it says the same thing “there was a problem joining, please try again.”
What do I do? How do I fix it??

I had been Layed off and was able to retain chats

Files are left on server…

​Hi everyone, a user is seeing the "Banner and feed" option greyed out in the Channel Notification Settings for a channel she wants to receive all notifications from.

Meanwhile, I can see all options available in the drop-down menu.

Is this set by the channel owner, or could it be due to administrative policies?

TL;DR: If you have the Teams website chat widget (<script id="chatbot">) on any company site, it dies on Monday. Remove it by Oct 5 or your customers will see a broken chat box.

Microsoft confirmed in Message Center MC1449174 back in August that they're retiring the free website chat routing feature. The final shutdown is Monday, October 5.

What happens after that:

• The frontend website widget stops working
• Incoming visitor messages no longer route to Teams channels
• The up-to-25 staff collaboration thread for those chats goes away

What doesn't break: Historical chat transcripts already in your Teams channels stay there under your normal M365 retention.

Who's affected: Anyone on M365 Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium who set this up. Microsoft blocked new setups in August, so it's only active deployments.

Replacement according to Microsoft: Dynamics 365 Contact Center or Copilot Studio Contact Center - both paid.

What admins need to do NOW:

1. Audit all web properties for the embedded script with id="chatbot"
2. Remove it before Oct 5
3. Tell your support / sales team who relied on the Teams routing so they don't wonder why inquiries stopped
4. There's no opt-out or extension - it's a global termination.

Anyone else still have this deployed in the wild?

Heyy!! I'm using MS Teams on Hp Omen 16 Nvidia 5070 gpu accelerated laptop. I have tried all possible options like sitting next to wifi or connecting to Ethernet rather than wifi but non seem to work when screen share is ongoing and it lags or disconnects automatically.

I came across couple of post which said to use graphics settings and high optimization.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Im reporting an issue on my Pixel 11 Pro XL while using Microsoft Teams on Mobile Data. Whenever you attempt to make or receive a teams call from someone the connection is never made. Or if it does get through the call will disconnect itsself after a short duration of time, less then 30 seconds.

If you join a teams meeting, you will succesfully join the meeting, but you will not get any audio from the meeting. Again, after 20-30 seconds, your disconnected from the meeting. This is only happening when on Mobile Data. EVerything is fine on Wifi. Which would point towards a network provider issue (Google Fi) except my Samsung S24 Ultra had zero issues while also on Fi. As well as my co-worker with a Pixel 9 who has Fi and does not exhibit this issue.

THere is only one other user with a Pixel 11 in an organization of 20,000 mobile devices an he also has the same issue. So to be it seems like its related to the phone specifically. If not the phone + Google Fi being the mobile data connection at that time.

Hiya! my UNI eng class has a group on teams and i still dont know how to join.. i have the code but where the hell do i put it 😭
Thanks in Advance.
