Bulk deploy the Teams auto start setting
In the blog post announcing the release of the TeamsBootstrapper.exe utility for deploying the New Teams client for Windows, it references an upcoming "auto start support" feature where the utility could be used to configure Teams to automatically launch when new users sign in for the first time. It's been over a year and there has been no update on this. I posted a comment on the blog post last week but there has been no response. Has this new feature been abandoned? Is there another supported way to do this? (Can I just mount C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT and throw a value in Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce pointing to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MSTeams_25072.1609.3541.7814_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\ms-teams.exe ?)
Create a list of clickable links to posts in a Teams channel
Hi all In a Teams channel we post tips about Microsoft 365. I want to create a list of those tips with links to the tips. I have tried using Microsoft Lists which looks good and I can categorise each tip ... but clicking on the link doesn't work. The link tries to open Teams .... which it is already. I'm working in user adoption so I don't want solutions that add more clicks. I'd just like for users to be able to click on the link and they go to the tip. The link does work (after a hesitation) if you click on it from SharePoint. But I don't want people to have to open the list in SharePoint. It defeats the object. Also, the export to Excel option to capture the links from the List doesn't work either; the export just shows plain text and not the link. I'll find a way with OneNote or a PDF .... but if anyone has the answer with a List which is theoretically the best option, I'd love to know.
Grouping chats into folders?
Hi All, Just upgraded to 'new' Teams.... and to be honest was hoping that maybe we would finally be able to group chats into folders (or similar) - but no - nothing really seems any different! Is there any chance at some point we can group chats? At present you have a never ending long list of past chats - which is super unusable! All we can do is Pin the most important as favourites.Teams pulls up main window after switching application windows during a meeting
I hope I can explain this properly, please let me know if it isn't clear. OS: macOS Sonoma Teams version: 24277.3502.3161.3007 When I am in a Teams call, I will often need to temporarily switch windows to Chrome or another application. When I tab back to the Teams call, the Main Teams window will pop up on top of the call, which requires me to minimize it in order to view the call window. I haven't been able to find a setting that addresses this specifically. Simplified steps: Join a Teams call from the the primary Teams window or Outlook calendar Switch applications to something else - Slack, Chrome, etc. Click the Teams icon in the dock The Teams call will take focus The Teams main window automatically pops up overlays the call, hiding it Thanks in advance for your help and please let me know if there is anything I can clarify.
file upload option disappearing in teams bot
We have Teams bot (we're the developer). When users first start teams, they have the file upload option available under the + button next to the type a message box. However, shortly afterwards, this option disappears. Not all users, just some. Seems to occur for both Mac and Windows users. Our manifest looks like this: { "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/json-schemas/teams/v1.19/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json", "manifestVersion": "1.19", "version": "1.0.7", "id": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx", "developer": { "name": "example", "websiteUrl": "https://www.example.com", "privacyUrl": "https://www.example.com/privacy", "termsOfUseUrl": "https://www.example.com/privacy" }, "icons": { "outline": "example_mono.png", "color": "example_portrait.png" }, "name": { "short": "example", "full": "example, your digital assistant" }, "description": { "short": "example is a digital AI assistant designed to streamline your workflow.", "full": "example is an advanced AI-powered professional assistant developed by example, crafted to enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace. With a focus on accuracy and a professional demeanor, example assists with information retrieval, scheduling, communication, and various tasks, ensuring that you have more time to focus on what matters most in your business." }, "accentColor": "#fb9745", "bots": [ { "botId": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy", "scopes": [ "personal" ], "isNotificationOnly": false, "supportsFiles": true, "commandLists": [ { "scopes": [ "personal", "team" ], "commands": [ { "title": "New", "description": "Starts a new conversation" } ] } ] } ], "permissions": [ "identity", "messageTeamMembers" ], "webApplicationInfo": { "id": "yyyyyyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyy-yyyyyyyyyyyy", "resource": "https://RscBasedStoreApp" }, "validDomains": [ "*.ngrok-free.app", "*.ngrok.app", "exampledev.ngrok.app" ] } ``` As far as I can see from the current manifest schema, the bot needs no other scopes. Is this a known bug or are we screwing something up with the config? Any help appreciated!
I cannot zoom in or zoom out with microsoft Teams now?
I am using version "25060.205.3499.6849" I used to be able to use ctrl + mouse scroll or ctrl + = to zoom in, as if I am using a Brower. Somehow I can't do it anymore? Even when I click on the three dots on the top-right side and click on keyboard shortcuts, I still see "Zoom in" and "Zoom out" shortcuts there, but they literally don't work?
How to automatically record all Teams meetings?
I have subscribed to a Teams Premium trial and added the license to a user's account. As global admin, I'm trying to enable automatic recording on ALL Teams meetings for that user. I don't want the user to need to remember to record meetings. In the Teams Admin Center, I open the Global (org-wide default) meeting policy, but there is no option here to automatically record all meetings. Instead, the only option is to enable optional recording, but users still have to manually start recording or enable recording before the meeting starts. If the user forgets to select one of these options, the meeting is not recorded. In the Teams Admin Center, I have created a custom meeting template called 'Coaching'. There is an option called 'Record meetings automatically' with a toggle. That option is disabled. When I hover over it, it says, 'Locked by another option's default value setting'. There is no hint or documentation about which other option is conflicting with the 'Record meetings automatically' option. How do I record all meetings automatically for a user? It seems so simple in Zoom!

Skype Transferred All Account Info To WRONG Teams Account!
I have a Skype account. It uses the email address MyEmail.at.myISP, which is also the email address of my Microsoft account. All my contacts know my "MyEmail.at.myISP" email address. When Skype offered to let me port over my Skype account, contacts, chats, and calls to Microsoft Teams, I let it do it. Skype automatically transitioned all the information to a completely separate email address which has no Microsoft account, MyOtherEmail.at.gmail. It created a Microsoft account under that email address. That new MS account contains none of my information... it shows no subscriptions (to MS Office365) or payment info. Not even my name exists there. In other words, Skype totally ignored my Microsoft account information and transitioned everything to a random one of my other email accounts! How do I: Transition all the Skype info to my proper Teams account (MyEmail.at.myISP)? Delete the MS Teams account and all the information now stored there from MyOtherEmail.at.gmail? Thanks in advance for any help.You're 2h ahead
For some of our colleagues "You're 2h ahead" is displayed but we're all in the same time zone (UTC+01:00, Vienna, DST)... Time zone is equal for all of us in: Windows system settings Outlook/Exchange office.com Even so, some of us living in the past... Since MS Teams has no own time zone setting there's maybe an issue/bug? --hfrmobile
