Green Blocky Glitch on Shared Screen in New Teams Meeting
I have a user on New Teams that repeatedly has trouble with screens being shared in meetings by other people showing up as a Green Blocky mess on her end. So far we have cleared cache, uninstalled and reinstalled New Teams, updated graphics drivers, tested her internet connection (measured at 300Mbps down by 35Mbps Up and she is the only user on it) performed normal system maintenance (SFC, D.I.S.M, CHKDSK), and restarts galore. No luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.New Teams client suddenly not allowing specific characters from M365 Group naming policy
Since we deployed Teams a few years ago, we have had an M365 Group naming policy that appends " (UserCreated)" as a suffix for anything created by an end user/non-admin. There have been no changes since. Starting a few days ago, we got reports that users were getting an error of The team prefix or suffix is incorrect, please try again whenever creating a new team. After testing myself and reproducing the problem what I found is that if you're using the v2 client ("new" Teams on Windows/macOS, or https://teams.microsoft.com/v2 for the web client), it kicks back with the above error. If using a classic/v1 desktop client or the non-updated web client, the issue is not reproducible. v2 client + no parentheses in naming policy = SUCCESS - https://imgur.com/a/fun0klN v2 client + parentheses in naming policy = FAILURE - https://imgur.com/a/ZeADI6E v1 client + parentheses in naming policy = SUCCESS - https://imgur.com/a/jYae7l8 Currently unaware if this is a bug or new behavior that went unannounced, but there's at least a few other recent complaints of the same out in the community. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/naming-teams/ebb29b25-20df-4642-8fcf-ffc67896e9f5Microsoft Teams Rooms Technical Solutions Professional Exam and Training

Installing Teams using 365 suite from Intune blocked in NL
Hi There. In Intune we have a 365 app suite configured and assigned for all our devices. The suite has all the office apps enabled including Teams. This app was installing fine until approximately October 1th. After that date we noticed all installations of this suite are missing the Teams application and we can't get it to install using the 365 app suite. Reviewing the installation status in Intune for an affected device shows it's status is "Waiting for install status", "Pending install". Using https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-add-office365#additional-troubleshooting-details we enabled installation logging. In the installation log we noticed an entry "BlockedAppsByRegions" that has our country (NL) in the list. This sounds like the reason why it's not installed. Could this be related to the unbundling of Teams in EEA and Switzerland as described here?: https://blogs.microsoft.com/eupolicy/2023/08/31/european-competition-teams-office-microsoft-365/#:~:text=Accordingly%2C%20we%20plan%20to%20take,or%20%E2%82%AC24%20per%20year). All information provided by MS states that for current customers nothing would change, only for new contracts so why is the installation of Teams being blocked by region as it seems? And how do i disable this blockage? I have shared the logfile for anyone interrested: https://summacollege-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/stjo_summacollege_nl/EUqGKqC7biJInNnkhpyxqTcBBDSwiNGlKko0-pj0UwdM2g?e=eiVbKj How do we enable the installation of Teams from Intune in a supported way, still making use of the Intune build in 365 Application including Teams.
Outlook contacts not synchronising with new teams
Hello I have had this longstanding issue with Microsoft Teams and Outlook. Effectively the classic Outlook contacts are not synchronising into new teams. The classic outlook contacts did synchronise with classic teams contact but not new teams. We found by editing internal contacts (where originally synchronised by the address book or not, im not sure) the contact would synchronise. Additionally if i deleted contacts in outlook they would sync the change and remove from new teams (people). The only workaround to this from speaking with MS 365 support (engineering/support team) was to export the contacts as csv from outlook and import them again. I hadn't tested this on a same user, i had exported from my account to a test account which worked. Is this by design, a known issue being worked on or not, and if so what time lines are MS working towards? ThanksNew Teams Desktop Not Consistently Opening for Meeting Links (VDI)
I have a user where clicking to join scheduled meetings in Outlook doesn't consistently open Teams desktop. The times that it fails to open (basically nothing happens), they have to click "Continue in Browser", which is a worse experience. We can't seem to find a pattern, other than if they click to join from the little pop-up window after a meeting as started, Teams desktop opens every time. I understand that Teams for VDI is its own animal and maybe we just need to wait to see if whatever is going on is fixed in a newer version, but I thought I'd check to see if this is a common issue.
