Channel limitation - Teams free
Hello. I've created a community on Teams free and I've reached a limitation of 5 channels. Everywhere site I've searched mentions a much larger limit (with the smallest one being 10 channels), but after only 5 I'm getting the message that I've reached the limit. Is this a new (lower) limit implemented recently for the free version, or do I have something configured wrong in the free version? I've searched in every setting and can't find anything that would cause the channels to be limited to only 5. Anyone knows?
Cannot delete organisation from Teams
Hi, It appears to be impossible to delete an organization from Teams Please see the picture below. I am unable to remove the organization beginning with L. I have used my personal email for many years, so I should be the one in control of it! I am the owner/ admin of the email account. However there is no way to delete the rogue /linked organization to which I no longer have access. How can I take back full control of my email/Teams account and remove this rogue organization? I've clicked on everything I can find and nowhere else mentions this organization. Clicking on the organization in Teams just takes me to a page saying "Microsoft Teams Free (Classic) is no longer available" with options to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade I want it deleted! TIA
Adding Custom Header to Microsoft Teams Login Requests Using mitmproxy Causes HTTP 404 Error
Hi Team, We are using mitmproxy to add a custom header to all requests during the login process in the Microsoft Teams Windows application. The purpose of adding this custom header is to verify that the request is coming from a specific device by checking this header on our sso server. Unfortunately, we are unable to bypass the login URLs. Adding the custom header is a crucial part of our verification process. However, we are encountering the following issue: When using mitmproxy to modify requests, the Microsoft Teams app fails to connect and shows the error: "We can't connect you. HTTP 404 login.microsoftonline.com" Is there a way to add a custom header to requests from the Teams app without breaking the connection to the Microsoft login endpoint? We appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue or insights into how Teams validates its login requests to avoid potential interference. Looking forward to your reply. ThanksHow to Use Copilot with Microsoft Teams
In today’s fast paced work environment, good collaboration is the backbone of any successful team. Microsoft Teams has emerged as one of the leading platforms for communication and collaboration, and with the addition of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Teams is now supercharged with AI powered assistance. If you’re looking to streamline teamwork, organize projects, and enhance productivity, Copilot in Microsoft Teams offers robust features that make managing tasks, meetings, and communication more intuitive and effective. In this post, we’ll explore what Copilot brings to Microsoft Teams, how to use its features to streamline your workflows, and ways to leverage it to take collaboration to the next level. What is Microsoft 365 Copilot? Before diving into its capabilities in Microsoft Teams, it’s important to understand what Microsoft 365 Copilot is. Built on OpenAI’s advanced language model, Copilot is designed to be a proactive assistant that integrates seamlessly within Microsoft 365 apps, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and, of course, Teams. It works by offering real time suggestions, automating repetitive tasks, and providing insights based on the data at hand. In Microsoft Teams, Copilot is particularly geared toward improving team collaboration and project management. Whether you’re coordinating a project, leading a meeting, or managing team files, Copilot’s capabilities can help make the experience smoother and more efficient. Key Features of Copilot in Microsoft Teams Copilot’s functionality in Microsoft Teams covers a wide range of collaboration activities, from generating meeting summaries to assisting with action item tracking. Here are the standout features Copilot brings to Teams: Intelligent Meeting Summaries and Notes Copilot can automatically generate meeting summaries, capturing key points, action items, and decisions made. This is especially useful for team members who couldn’t attend a meeting or need a quick recap. You can even prompt Copilot to highlight specific topics discussed during the meeting, making it easy to focus on the areas that matter most. Real-Time Task Assignments and Follow-Ups During meetings, Copilot can help track and assign tasks in real time, ensuring that action items are never lost in the shuffle. It identifies follow-up tasks discussed in the meeting and creates assignments for each team member. Once tasks are assigned, Copilot tracks them and provides updates, so you always have a clear view of the project’s progress. Instant Summaries of Chat Conversations In Teams, conversations often contain valuable insights, project updates, and decisions that are important for everyone involved. However, sifting through lengthy chats can be time consuming. Copilot’s chat summarization feature lets you generate quick overviews of long conversations, making it easier to stay informed without having to scroll through entire chat histories. Enhanced File Search and Suggestions Teams files and resources are scattered across different channels and groups, making it challenging to locate the right document quickly. Copilot’s intelligent search capabilities make it easy to find specific files based on content, keywords, or even project details. Additionally, it suggests files and resources that are contextually relevant to the current conversation or meeting, saving time and reducing interruptions. Proactive Insights and Data Analysis Copilot doesn’t just passively wait for instructions; it actively looks for ways to assist you by analyzing patterns within Teams. For example, it can identify recurring topics, flag potential project bottlenecks, and offer suggestions on optimizing workflows. This feature can help team leaders and project managers identify opportunities to improve team efficiency, spot areas of concern, and make data-driven decisions. Step-by-Step Guide to Using Copilot in Microsoft Teams Now that we’ve covered the capabilities of Copilot in Teams, here’s a step by step guide on how to use it effectively: Setting Up and Accessing Copilot in Teams If you’re using Microsoft 365 with a Copilot subscription, Copilot should automatically be accessible within Teams. You can find it in the Teams app menu, where it’s integrated into chat, meetings, and files. Ensure you have the latest version of Microsoft Teams installed, and Copilot should be readily available for use. Note that some features may be gradually rolled out, so check for updates if you don’t see Copilot immediately. Using Copilot for Meeting Summaries When a meeting begins, Copilot will automatically listen for key points, action items, and decisions being made. You can also use commands to ask Copilot for specific information, such as “Summarize today’s project discussion.” After the meeting, Copilot can send a complete summary with bullet points, assigned tasks, and key takeaways, which can be shared with attendees or saved for reference. Task Assignment and Follow Up Tracking During discussions, mention action items and responsible individuals clearly. Copilot will recognize these mentions and create tasks accordingly. Once assigned, Copilot provides regular updates on the progress of these tasks. To see a task list or update the status of an assignment, simply ask Copilot within the relevant channel or conversation. Generating Summaries for Ongoing Conversations In busy chat channels, ask Copilot for a “summary of the recent conversation” to get an overview of the discussion highlights. Copilot’s summarization feature is a great way to catch up if you’ve been away or need a quick refresher before responding to a message. Finding Relevant Files Quickly Use Copilot’s search by typing specific file-related queries like “find last week’s project report” or “locate the marketing presentation.” Copilot can also provide suggestions for files based on the conversation context, helping you quickly share relevant resources without interrupting the flow of a discussion. Analyzing Patterns and Insights In Teams, go to the Insights tab where Copilot provides analytical insights, identifying recurring issues or areas of focus based on chat and meeting data. For project managers, asking Copilot for a “progress update” or “bottleneck analysis” can reveal useful metrics, such as delayed tasks or frequently mentioned project risks. Tips for Maximizing Productivity with Copilot in Teams Use Natural Language Commands: Copilot is designed to understand conversational commands, so feel free to use natural language. Try asking it questions like, “What were the key points from yesterday’s meeting?” or “Who is responsible for the upcoming deadline?” Encourage Team Members to Adopt Copilot: To fully leverage Copilot’s collaborative features, encourage everyone on your team to use it actively. This allows Copilot to create a holistic view of team interactions, making its suggestions and insights more effective. Regularly Review Copilot’s Suggestions: While Copilot can automate and assist, it’s always beneficial to review its summaries and suggestions for accuracy. This ensures that important details are not overlooked, and action items remain relevant. Sum up The Future of Collaboration with Copilot in Teams With Copilot, Microsoft Teams goes beyond being a communication platform; it becomes a proactive partner in your team’s daily operations. By automating routine tasks, tracking conversations, and providing insights, Copilot helps you focus on what truly matters achieving your team’s goals. Whether you’re managing a small team or leading a large project, Copilot is a powerful tool that simplifies the complexities of modern collaborationWhy Teams is slowing down my Mac?
Microsoft Teams is so bloated that it causes even M1 Macs to slow down to crawl. It drains your battery and affects your Macbook’s performance. A few reasons why Microsoft Teams is slowing down your Mac: High Resource Usage Teams are resource-intensive due to its screen-sharing and video call feature. If it slows your Mac down, it must be due to the CPU and memory Teams are using to run the program. To run your Mac smoothly, clean your Macbook regularly to ensure memory storage is not filled to the neck. Outdated Software There is a chance your Teams version is not compatible or outdated with the macOS. This incompatibility leads to performance issues. Install an updated version of the Teams app to run it smoothly. Slow Network Microsoft Teams’ performance is affected by the speed of the internet more than you can imagine. Check your internet connection to ensure everything runs smoothly. If you can, switch to a wired connection to ensure your Macbook performs optimally. You can also run Microsoft Teams on your Chrome and Edge to make the most out of your features. Firefox and Safari miss out on most features, but you can still use it on them. If your Macbook is still not performing well, contact Expert MacBook repair technician for more information.Adding students to speed dial
I am a student within the Davis School District. I was using teams and adding other students WITHIN my district to my speed dial list. Most if not all students it would add without problems, but a certain student it kept saying that they couldn't add them to the speed dial list. Why is this? Can this be fixed? If it doesn't let me add them to speed dial does that mean that I cannot call them using teams? Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.
