Project in teams not opening task chat window
Hi, I have been using Microsoft Project for the web and the Teams chat connection with my development team. Unfortunately, something has happened since Thursday 13-02-2025 that means the chat window is not opening for a task (Microsoft Teams -> Channel -> Project -> Task -> Window) It is extremely annoying, as we use the chat to show examples of development (screenshots, etc.) Does anyone have the same problem, or a solution to how to solve the problem? Regards, LasseSkype for Business Online - End of Life - July 31, 2021
Today Microsoft announced that Skype for Business Online will be retiring on July 31, 2021. Though we didn’t know the exact date until today, we have been preparing for this for the past year and are ready to support you however we can as we work together to help you make this transition. We knew this was coming, we have been preparing for this for the past year, now we know the official date. We hope this does not come as a shock to you as MS Teams has taken center stage for Intelligent Communication and Modern Collaboration and Microsoft as an organization is not going to support Skype for Business (SfB) online in the long term. All of our investments and feature enhancements have been in Teams and Teams will continue to receive these investments for the future.
Which tool when: Project or Planner?
There's a reasonably new project management tool in play. When should you use Microsoft Project versus the newer Microsoft Planner? There are pros and cons to both and it's important you know them before getting started. That, and proponents of Project may be going overkill now that there's a user-friendly 'competitor'. Here's some guidance to help you along the way. Hopefully you find this info useful! https://icsh.pt/ProjectOrPlannerProject Online and Azure DevOps Integration
Any ideas on the plan for Project Online and Azure DevOps integration? The process for TFS to Project Server on prem is no longer supported. Predefined field maps only available connectivity, so not really a solution we can use. How are others replacing the TFSFieldMapping? Thanks!
Project for the web - Roadmap from Microsoft?
Hi Is there somewhere a development roadmap of features coming to project for the web? Particular dependencies are so limited, I find shameful the price MS is charging for an annual license considering how primitive it is. Lags seem to only to work by dragging it on the timeline, but they get deleted when things move around overall. You cannot edit them in the grid, like in the project version for desktop and is missed any basic features around lags ( as in task +- time, start to start, or finish to start etc. ) . Options for manual and automatic scheduling of tasks ...? e.g. I can move task 2 ahead of task 1 on the timeline to create a lag/gap of 2 weeks. But if I move task 1 around task 2 does not follow task1 with a constant 2 week lag. The lag disappears if I move task 1 forward in time, or the lag extends if I move task 1 backwards in time. It seem to me that once you create a lag on the time line, then the task behalves like manual scheduled, but can start no sooner than the predecessor. This implementation of lags is very useless in practice. That means larger schedules with lag cannot be readjusted ones schedules as lags all get messed up when things move around. I hope this sees some updates soon!! Are there any known plans to make the lags usable in project online?
Skype for business meetning invitation in online o365 calendar
Please correct me if I am wrong, but why is it no longer possible to create a skype for business meeting/invitation in the o365 web calendar? I believe I did this before, but now I need to go to Outlook (local) to manage this. Hope this functionality will enter the stage again.Session Expired - Please refresh error message
Another user and I are working on the same word document online. When he works in a table entering data, we both receive the "Sorry your session expired. Please refresh the page to continue". This only happens when he is entering data in the table. He can copy and paste tables in the document and he can enter text in other places without issue. It is only when working inside the table. I receive the same error when he does even if I'm not doing anything in the document. I could just be watching what he is typing and I get the error. Any suggestions?Using Canvas for Figures creates large files
Hello, I am looking for a solution / help regarding file sizes. To describe the problem I'm facing: We have a lot of Word documents describing different tasks. The documents contain a lot of pictures, some with many inserted shapes to highlight / point to a certain things. Currently I use Drawing Canvas to keep the pictures and shapes in place and not to fall apart when editing. The problem is, doing it this way, the file size dramatically increases. I have compared the same document with figures in Canvas and another with pictures inserted without Canvas, the size increases drastically (e.g. form 10MB to 120MB). Some things i've tried: -Not using Canvas - obvious, but the shapes and figures do tend to fall apart, leaving small shapes scattered in the document. The documents are edited by many users with different levels of Word knowledge and attention to detail, thus rendering this solution unviable. -Using Tables to anchor the shapes - this also proved unviable, because when deleting a picture from the table, the cells resize regardless of the shapes (which are still anchored to the table itself, but are now outside of the table overlapping a text), and when deleting the Table, the shapes remain. -Inserting already edited pictures - while this solves the problem with shapes, it is also unviable, because the shapes often changes. Creating a collection of stock pictures that can be re-edited to suit changes could resolve this, but there are thousands of different pictures, so that would be counterproductive. -Using an alternative software to Word - unviable due to internal restrictions...and the fact that almost everyone has at least some experience with Word to be able to edit a document. -Compression of pictures - that is the only "kind of" working solution, but another problem was discovered. When trying to compress all pictures and deselecting the option to "Apply only to this picture", strangely not all pictures get compressed. When multiple pictures are in a Canvas, only one picture gets compressed. When pictures are "Grouped" with shapes, sometimes the compression skips them entirely. Hopefully my description of problems is understandable... Thank you all in advance 🙂
