Teams Adds Snapchat Lenses to Video Effects for Meetings
Teams meeting participants can now choose from 24 Snapchat Lenses as effects to apply to their video feed. It’s unclear how advantageous these lenses are to the efficient running of Teams meetings, but beauty is very much in the eye of the individual meeting participant. Some will find the Snapchat Lenses create a compelling effect. Others will be less positive. But across the 280 million monthly active Teams users, there’s bound to be some who absolutely love these effects. https://office365itpros.com/2023/04/12/snapchat-lenses-teams-meeting/
Unable to set "end appointments early" for Teams Meetings
Hi We recently enabled the Outlook o365 setting End appointments and Meetings early. However it seems this setting do not apply to Teams meetings created from Outlook or Teams. There are no such policy in the Teams Admin Policy interface as well. Anyone solved this by gpo, powershell or is it a feature that didn't find its way to MS Teams just yet ?
MTR Video feeds blank
Hi, We are working on a proof of concept for Microsoft teams rooms video conferencing within my business and i have been working on testing different products. I am currently using a Lenovo ThinkSmart hub 500 and i am having a problem where the TV we have the smarthub connected to is working fine until we join/create a call, at which point the screen flashes white then stays black afterwards, with neither of mine or my colleagues video feeds showing, but on the other end of the call the video feeds are working fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried using the MTR recovery tool with no success and i have used this TV with another device so i know it isn't the TV itself?
How to set up meetings with Skype for Business users
My organization just switched from Skype for Business to Teams. Our customer still uses Skype for Business and I want to set up a meeting with them and send them the appropriate link to the meeting room. Is this possible? I tried to set this up through the coexistence settings, but it says Microsoft has disabled this so I cannot move back. This is quite urgent for us. Can anybody provide any advice on how to set up the meeting, or, if not, how to move back to Skype for Business? I prefer Teams but my customer is still using SFB and it is important we are able to arrange meetings with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Teams Room System and MS Whiteboard
Hi Everyone, I am currently experimenting with the Logitech Smart Dock Teams Room System. I have set the device up with 2 external monitors, one which shows the participants/video streams, the other being used for content. The second display has a touch input with the idea of collaborating with Whiteboard. However, when I try to share a whiteboard from my laptop in the room, it fails to open and I get the "It's taking a little longer than expected" and then "Something went wrong". Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Alex.
