How to prevent video from being cropped in a Teams recording?
Recently we recorded a video of a meeting. The meeting was hybrid where 4 of the main presenters were seated in the front of the room. We positioned the camera to have all 4 presenters in view. The output was correctly displayed in the room and on a separate laptop (all 4 presenters could be seen at all times). Upon reviewing the recording, only 1.5 of the presenters were visible, even when one of the other presenters was speaking. It seems that the "Fill frame" feature enabled itself for the recording, despite the person who recorded the meeting verifying that the "Fit to frame" option was selected on his device before recording. Is there a way to prevent videos from being automatically cropped in recordings?
Teams Room on Windows fails updating
I have some MTRoW which are failing to update windows. TeamsApp itself is on the newest version (4.19) after using MTRP Provisioning tool. Windows stucks on 19044 or 19045 and doesn't get any newer updates. Any ideas from you what I can do without Reimaging the device (Crestron C100T)?

One of my customers ran into an interesting issue recently that I have been able to replicate. I'm curious if others are also experiencing this, and if there's a way to make it work properly. Here's the scenario: A PowerPoint slideshow is shared in a Teams meeting using the "Present in Teams" button from PowerPoint. The slideshow contains an embedded *.webm video that was recorded with Stream (on SharePoint). Participants in the meeting are able to see and hear the video correctly during the meeting. In the Teams meeting recording, the audio and video from the *.webm video does not work... it appears blank on the slide as if no video was played. In some testing with the customer prior to the meeting, the video file playback quality was best when using the "Present in Teams" button instead of a screen share in Teams with computer audio. I had assumed this built-in sharing method would be our best route. We did not realize the meeting would be recorded and did not test that specifically. After the issue occurred, I recorded a new video and created a new PowerPoint slideshow to test this in 3 scenarios... First by sharing the PowerPoint app from the Teams meeting. The Teams meeting recording contained the audio and video properly from the embedded *.webm file that was played. Second, from the Teams meeting, sharing the entire screen including computer audio, the embedded *.webm video again played properly in the meeting recording. Third, when using the "Present in Teams" button from PowerPoint, the *.webm video played correctly during the meeting, but the Teams meeting recording did not contain audio or video from the embedded *.webm video, just like what my customer experienced. I can't tell if this is a known limitation, an issue with Teams meeting recording functionality, or an issue with PowerPoint. If anyone has some insight to share, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, BrianTeams Gets Inline Playback for Stream Videos
Stream video playback in Teams chats and channels is now inline, meaning that the video plays direct without any need to call the Stream browser client. It’s a good update that makes watching Stream videos a very seamless experience. It would be nice if Microsoft can improve some other integration points where Stream and Teams touch because some of the other integration features don't work so well. In other news, SharePoint Online is rationalizing how it stores user photos. https://office365itpros.com/2023/07/28/stream-video-playback-teams/Recording chat interactions as part of Teams video recording
Hello, As part of training videos I create, I need to be able to record all chat interactions as part of the Teams video recording. By design all chat interactions are recorded into a text file (chat history). What I need though is to be able to include all chat interactions natively inside the video recording. I need the same for all polls which I run during the training session. Does anyone know if this is supported by Teams at this point or if it has been requested as a new feature?
Poly x50 video call - no video.
Hi - wondered if anyone could help. Ive got a call open with Poly (for weeks now) but had no answer to my question. As above if i start a video call on our x50 i see my own video feed in the bottom corner but, in the main screen i just see the other users login avatar (or their initials in the round circle). Ive read that this is Teams deciding theres not enough bandwidth so disables the video but even if we do a test and an internal video call its no different. Has anyone else had this or, even managed to fix it?? Thanks to anyone that takes a punt. Cheers
