36 TopicsCreate permanent video meeting link in Microsoft Teams
I schedule many videoconferences with people outside my organization (some of them repeated) and the way I do it now is to create a Teams meeting link from my Outlook invitation and then send this to the meeting invitees. I would prefer to create a permanent link that I can always give to people, for example, in an email message, without having to generate a new Teams meeting each time in Outlook. I considered simply reusing the same link from a previous meeting for subsequent meetings, but it seems that each Teams meeting creates its own space in Teams. So, it seems that people I meet with later would be able to see the names of those whom I met with earlier using the same link, as well as any conversations I might have had with them. So, I don't think this is what I want--I want a link that gives meeting attendees access to only the present, live meeting, with no access to past exchanges using the same link. This is important to respect the privacy of each meeting. I initially posted this as a help question to Microsoft Teams support, but they said that it is not an existing feature. If this is not currently a feature, could anyone here possibly suggest a workaround that would let me use the same permanent link for all my videoconferences (e.g. with a short URL), but that preserves the privacy of attendees across different meetings using that same link? This is similar to what many videoconferencing services (e.g. Zoom and Whereby) offer.Solved248KViews23likes32CommentsCropping my video during calls
Hello is there a way to manually crop the my video so that not everything behind me is visible. Effectively zooming in on my face. My camera has a pretty wide area of view and I would prefer to cut some out. Skype had the functionality so I hope it comes to teams. Is this a planned enhancement at some point in the near future?34KViews2likes2CommentsMicrosoft teams not working with OBS virtual camera 23/2/2021
Recently I downloaded OBS to enable me to switch between multiple camera angles, and I have managed to get all of the inputs set up. Everything works fine with other programs such as zoom, google meet and skype but not teams. I can set the camera input to obs virtual cam, and on the preview screen everything is fine, but the other people in the meeting cannot see anything and it looks like my camera is off. Is there a solution to this problem? (I am running up to date software on a new 2020 Macbook Pro, with the latest versions of MacOS, Teams and OBS)31KViews0likes2CommentsIndividual Selection of "Fit to Frame" in Video Meetings so Conference Room Video Cameras Don't Crop
In video chats within MS Teams "Fit to Frame" should be selectable by individual users which then applies to everyone else in the meeting so conference room cameras selecting "Fit to Frame" on themselves can help everyone in the meeting see everyone in the meeting. Individual preferences of "Fit to Frame" does not work as we can not waste meeting time trying to get everyone to select "Fit to Frame" on conference room cameras each time we go into meetings. No one wants people cropped out. Implement "Fit to Frame" as individual selections that apply to everyone in the meeting.23KViews1like1CommentHow to record the teams meeting without seeing myself?
Hello, is there a way to record the Teams Meeting without seeing myself on the right hand side of the recording video? I only want to see the presenter and the presentation in this recording. Even I has put myself with no videos but my teams meeting profile picture still appear in it. Please advise! Thank you! 🙂21KViews0likes2CommentsMeeting not able to turn video on using ipad
Hi, tried this with a colleague earlier who was also using an iPad; before joining the meeting, the “video is off” was greyed out and thereafter I could see her but she could not see me. It did work well, however, in a video call. Is there settings somewhere that could enable the video function in meetings? The iPad is running the latest operating system iPadOS 13.4. I would appreciate any advise as this would be essential for giving remote lessons during school closure, thanks.17KViews0likes2CommentsTeams Meeting Large gallery shows your image mirrored and other image inconstancies
I have have been trying out the new Teams meeting experience at all my meetings over the last few days getting all the participants to set it up. There is an inconsistency in the way the images are portrayed. In the standard Gallery mode and the Together mode my own image is mirrored which is fine as that is how we are all used to seeing ourselves when looking in a mirror. However in the Large Gallery mode my image was not mirrored so when looking at my video every movement I made seemed backwards at it was opposite. This was vey disconcerting to me every time I moved it seemed alien so I had to switch this view off. I also noticed that for the other participant that the Gallery and Large Gallery showed their images one way around yet the Together mode had flipped their images. It seems very illogical not to have a standard way of displaying images, See screenshots below. Anyone know if this is a bug or just inconsistent coding?15KViews1like6CommentsWhy aren't video feeds at the top of the screen?
About 90% of webcams are located at the top of monitors, whether the user is using a laptop or desktop monitors. Why was it decided to put user video feeds at the bottom of Teams video calls? During meetings where someone is sharing their screen (which is a majority of meetings I'm in), when I watch other users talking, our video feeds all show us looking down rather than looking up into our webcams. Seeing others' video feeds of them looking back at you is far more engaging and organic feeling than seeing everyone looking down, which feels like they are looking away/not paying attention. That is why Webex puts the video feeds at the top of the window.Solved9.8KViews5likes5Comments
