    Android Teams app stopped getting chats etc. last Sunday?

    Only major thing this week was upgrading to Android 14 on my Galaxy S22+ - other apps are fine, including Outlook. Any idea why it's not showing any more recent activity than last Sunday?

    (PS: Another post-upgrade reboot brought things back to the present - weird. Of course it reboots during the upgrade, but I guess it's always a good idea to do that once more, was also seeing apps acting slowly and this seems to have 'cleared its throat' so to speak;-)

    Procedure review documents.

    Hello, I'm looking for a method to distribute and ensure that members of the team review and acknowledge various procedural documents. The approvals app isn't quite what I'm after as if one person hits reject it kills the whole process. Just wondering if anyone might know of a method to achieve this. Basically looking to ensure that individuals read the documents and I have some auditable trail to show this. Thanks in advance.

    How to enable Chat icon on Windows 11?

    I tried every step here, which includes altering registry for both current user and local machine, as well as the Policy editor.

    None worked so far. Any suggestions on how to do this?

    Simple report of active time spent on Teams calls for the last 30 days

    I searched but couldn't find a simple (to me anyway) answer...

    I'd like to (for billing purposes) somehow export a report of my active time spent in Teams meetings. A simple CSV with the following would be amazing:

    DateTimeStart, DateTimeEnd, Duration, Title, Participants

    Is this possible (preferably with PowerShell?)

    Graph API created Chats with image attachments not displaying on mobile

    I have created an app that is posting files and images to channels and chats using the Graph API. All is working fine on the web and I am able to see the uploaded images and files as intended. However, the images simply do not appear on mobile. The files show up just fine on mobile, but any hostedContent images do not appear. Any help would be appreciated.

    Love the integrated MS Teams on Windows 11. How can I get it back?

    I got a freshly installed Windows 11 23H2, and the integrated MS Teams appears to have been removed. So I installed the one from the Windows Store and it looks like that was the old classic version. So I uninstalled it, and downloaded the new Desktop version from MS website.

    However, it behaves almost like the Windows 11 integrated MS Teams, but not quite. Most annoyingly is when I click on the teams icon, I get the "mini" view, which is great. However, if I click somewhere else on the Windows background, MS Teams (mini) doesn't go away. It stays on the screen.

    Is there a way to change that behavior to match the integrated Windows 11 version or just install the integrated version?

    Kamailio not accepting tls 5061

    I am trying to setup MS Teams Direct Routing with Kamailio version: kamailio 5.6.5 (x86_64/linux).I have setup a domain and get users registered with it.I have done all the configs following this tutorial https://skalatan.de/en/blog/kamailio-sbc-teams

    but when I checked My TLS is not coming up

    sudo netstat -tulpn | grep kamailio

    udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50600.0.0.0:* 1858/kamailio

    It's listening on 5060 but not on tls.

    These are my configs below:

    my ssl version: OpenSSL 1.1.1w 11 Sep 2023

    listen=udp:0.0.0.0:5060 advertise 1.2.3.4:5060

    listen=udp:0.0.0.0:5060 advertise abc.com:5060

    # SIP listening interface for TLS

    listen=tls:0.0.0.0:5061 advertise abc.com:5061

    listen=tls: 172.20.10.1 :5061 advertise abc:5061

    #!ifdef WITH_TLS

    enable_tls=yes

    #!ifdef WITH_TLS

    loadmodule "tls.so"

    #!endif

    #!ifdef WITH_TLS

    # ----- tls params -----

    #modparam("tls", "config", "/etc/kamailio/tls.cfg")

    modparam("tls", "private_key", "/etc/letsencrypt/live/abc.com/privkey.pem")

    modparam("tls", "certificate", "/etc/letsencrypt/live/abc.com/fullchain.pem")

    modparam("tls", "method", "TLSv1.1+")

    modparam("tls", "verify_certificate", "yes")

    modparam("tls", "require_certificate", "no")

    #!endif

    # Add the Microsoft Teams-specific code here

    event_route[tm:local-request] {

    if(is_method("OPTIONS") && $ru =~ "pstnhub.microsoft.com") {

    append_hf("Contact: sip:abc.com:5061;transport=tls\r\n");

    }

    xlog("L_INFO", "Sent out tm request: $mb\n");

    }

    need suggestions and any fix could be applied

    Notification help for missed call and new chat

    I receive 500-700 emails per week and to ensure that I don't miss anything from the most important people (CEO, my boss etc) I have an email rule that forwards any emails from those individuals to my personal email address. This means I receive and respond ASAP.

    I'm noticing more that some of these important people are sending messages to me in teams or are calling in teams and I'm not able to act quickfire like I do with email.

    Is there a way to easily get a notification for only specific people without having to turn on all teams notifications? It doesn't have to be an email, I'd be happy with anything that notifies me so that I can keep the good reputation that I have for responding pronto

    Help with document sharing on teams

    Hi, we have around 70 clients and each client has a teams site on our system with various channels that are open to all members or closed off from clients.

    We use the clientname@ourcompanyname.com email address for all support issues and general communication that is linked to our teams site.

    When I’m sharing something like an insurance document or a service update if I upload this to each company teams site in for example the “Insurance” channel many customers are saying they cannot view it.

    If one of my customers uses teams with their employers company log in would they need to log out of this to see any communication/ messages / documents that we post via our site.

    Not sure if teams is capable of what we are looking for.

    Any help would be great.

    Is there a way to be notified only about certain buzz words?

    My jobs team chat goes off 24/7 7 days a week about a plethora of things. The only thing I’m interested in is if someone is asking about coverage since I need more hours. Is there anyway I can use teams to notify me only about coverage updates?

    Teams Administrator can't add any Operators only Global Admin otherwise error "We can't load the details for this operator. If you continue to have problems, contact the Microsoft customer support. "

    Hi everyone,

    We are a Microsoft Partner and just started doing onboardings so we are using GDAP now for authentication. I've done this many times, but today on a customer when going to the Operators page and clicking ANY of them, it would give an error "We can't load the details for this operator. If you continue to have problems, contact the Microsoft customer support." When clicking that link it goes to basically a 404 page not found.

    Our roles currently are: Groups administrator, Teams administrator, License administrator, User administrator, Billing administrator, Service support administrator

    When having the customer try as a Global Administrator it worked immediately for them. Any ideas as that error message has 0 results on Google and both Bing and ChatGPT are like "This is a new one for me" lol. I'll contact MS Support but thought I'd try here first.

    Also to add, now that the customer added the Operator, if I go in and click it I still get the same error. It loads the page, but all images are broken as you can see below:

    Teams Room PC/NUC machine doesn't start Teams Room App after reboot

    For some reason, this might be due to auto Windows update. All of a sudden our Teams Room NUC/PC won't start Teams Room when you first log in or after a restart, it sits on the Windows desktop. We would have to manually start it. Does anyone know why? Once Teams Room is started when pressing the Windows key on the keyboard it brings back the desktop and opens the Start Menu, normally you rapidly press the Windows Key five times to get to Admin mode, but that's gone... we have to switch user manually.

    Update 1: Did a Windows reset, didn't help.

    Direct routing audiocodes problem

    Hello,

    I have a weird problem and I am not sure if it is me who is thinking wrong or if it is something that i am not doing right.

    In our environment, we currently have sfb 2019 installed and as a next step, we are going to migrate to Teams client for calling functionality. The problem i am facing now is with moving the response groups.

    I know in teams, we can use Auto-attendant/call queues to use this functionality. We are going to be using Audiocodes for the direct routing part with teams as we have been using it for our sfb setup. I have been able to figure out how to redirect 1v1 calls to users on teams using the audiocodes and teams direct routing.

    The part which is confusing me now is with the teams resource accounts. I am not sure if i need to create the resource accounts on cloud directly or not? Since our skype on prem is a hybrid setup with teams, I tried to create a resource account on prem using New-CsHybridApplicationEndpoint and used this MS documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/skypeforbusiness/hybrid/configure-onprem-ra#create-a-resource-account-with-a-phone-number.

    Using this part, i am now able to make and receive calls using the call queue with direct routing and it works fine. However, our plan is to get rid of sfb but in this scenario, i am creating resource accounts in the hybrid setup so then when we need to remove the on-premises sfb, it will again be a problem to create the resource accounts on the cloud right? In the ldap on audiocodes, it searches using msRTCSIP-Line & LDAP.Attr.msRTCSIP-DeploymentLocator == 'sipfed.online.lync.com'.

    I want to know if it is possible to use direct routing with teams directly by creating a resource accounts on the cloud rather than using the resource accounts to first be created on premise and synced to cloud with the hybrid setup? If yes, how do i need to update my ldap query, based on which parameters?

    If i am thinking wrong and have to be in the hybrid setup by creating the resouce accounts on premise and synced to cloud to use the cloud auto-attendant/call queue feature as I was able to figure out right now, how would I go about getting rid of the sfb on prem without losing a lot of time again?

    It is a huge project for us as we are a small IT team and we have a lot of user data so we want to be able to make sure we do it the right way. If anyone has any idea on this, I would really appericiate it. Thank you.

    Teams not displaying up-to-date membership info

    I've got a weird issue being reported to me that Teams membership is not being displayed correctly.

    We're a school, and make use of Microsoft's School Data Sync to have our class Teams automatically update their membership. I've had a couple of teachers in the past week meniton that their class Teams don't have the correct membership.

    When looking in the Teams admin centre, I can see that the class Team has exactly the right members.
    However, the Teams app doesn't reflect this. I can add myself into the Team and view the correct members fine.

    We've worked out we can force Teams to refresh the member info by getting the teaacher to add a new member, and then removing them again. This is fine for the odd few Teams, but if this becomes a wider issue, this won't cut it.

    What are some things that we can try to stop this from happening?

    New Teams Status Sync With Outlook Desktop

    I recently observed that after switching to new teams, user status no longer appears before their names on the Outlook desktop. I cannot know from Outlook when a user is online/away/offline. The status is graded out. But as soon as I reverted to the old Teams (classic), all status appeared normal, and I could see those online/away/offline. Has anyone come across similar, and what solution did you apply?

    Inconsistency with the meeting option "Announce when people dialing in join or leave"

    When I create a Teams meeting in Outlook the option "Announce when people dialing in join or leave" is turned on, but when I create a meeting in the Teams app the option is turned off. Can you set this somewhere so that it is consistent?

    We were able to get Shared channels to work with another test tenants. However in our tenant we are still unable to add external users to Shared channels despite having configured the B2B direct connect inbound and outbound settings.

    Join a Zoom Meeting from a Teams Room with ID & Passcode

    Hey everyone, in my org we get frequent situations where someone is sent a meeting id and passcode for a zoom meeting outside of a proper invite. With a proper invite I know it’s possible to forward to the room and join directly from the touchpad, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to join a ZOOM meeting from the room with just the ID and Passcode?

    New to Teams, trying my best. Used to Google Ecosystem. There are things I love about Teams, somethings I am gobsmacked why a function doesn't exist (not the first time with MS or other platforms. But I digress.)

    Of these task management tools (which I understand are all the same but have diff functionality) is Microsoft most gungho about, and which is legacy?
