I work with a group of 170 students and recently began using the calendar feature as a way to publish events for the group. Some of these events are applicable to all members. Some events are applicable to some members. I am now seeing all of these events on my outlook calendar, and I am sure our group is too. Is there a way to disconnect this Teams calendar from Outlook calendars?26KViews0likes4CommentsMS Teams Screen Freezes when Screenshare
Hello, I am a student and recently got a new laptop with Window's 11. My School uses MS Teams for our online lectures. I have no issues accessing logging on to the meeting, however when anyone presents their screen, the screen on my end freezes. No other students in the meeting have this issue, and audio is still live. Team's itself is still running (its doesn't crash, I can still see the comments, etc.), just the screen where my professor is presenting content is completely frozen. I've restarted and ended the program on task manager and no luck. Are there any current work arounds? I have seen some similar issues on forums.3.3KViews0likes1CommentMicrosoft Teams Android App Video Sharing Not Working
Im a Lecturer at a School who uses my Samsung Tablet for my Lectures Because or Covid19 prevention i.e wfh. Unfortunately we are required to use MS Teams only for said Lectures. To my utter surprise, having a lot of expectations for "Logical" computer company like microsoft, the Video Share option for MS Teams App on my Samsung is not working. I have a video saved on my one drive and I also uploaded a video on the MS Teams Team Files and Channel. After joining/starting the meeting, I immediately clicked on the Share Icon(Box with Arrow Up) and then clicked on Share Video option. It would then take me to window with 3 options on the bottom of the window namely: Files, Photo, Video. The Video Option is actually Sharing your video through your phone or Tablet Camera. Obviously theres no use for that in my lecture. Which leaves us with the File option, of course expecting that we can access our local android files or One Drive files. I click on the files option then it only gave me with 2 folder options. These are Onedrive and Teams and Channels. When I went into those folders, i cannot access any videos at all. Microsoft What the hell? Really? So I tried to find an alternative. I figured maybe I can use Share screen and play the video from my Tablet instead. I wasnt able to do it from my gallery, I have to use VLC. The video played but with no Audio. I mean again Microsoft what the hell? Really? For a company that creates computer, which you would expect to be logical, this is very disappointing. Why the hell can we not just play a freakien video when you created that freaken option? Why? Why? Why? Does anyone here know any work around this?3KViews0likes1CommentMicrosoft Teams in Education tips and guides

Hi, I am giving online courses using Microsoft Teams. I always have the problem that my voice and screen sharing activity are not syncronized. There is always a delay between voice and screen activity. Another problem, some of my students are raising hands for questions and I was not able to see their hand raising until they actually speak. Thanks in advance Tamer1.6KViews0likes0CommentsParental Controls over children in distance education during the Pandemic

Hi all Just wondering if anyone can help! We have set class teams up and added students with a company email address, however, we do not want the students to be able to see who else is a member of that team and their email addresses due to DP - is there anyway these can be 'hidden'? Thanks in advance. June1.1KViews0likes1Comment
