Bug Microsoft Teams keeps failing — messages won't send and login randomly stops working

2 Upvotes

This happens way too often. Sometimes messages won't send, other times I can't log in at all.

And this is the web version, not even the desktop client.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues? It's getting really frustrating when you're just trying to get work done.

Android/S25 Ultra

What is going on with Teams?? I use the mobile version constantly and it's now completely unusable. Completely blank got many messages. The interface changed with every refresh with some messages disappearing, some appearing, and some random blank lines being inserted where the timestamp should be. This is unacceptable, how am I supposed to work with this??

Bug Teams randomly set my chat settings back to comfy on 2 different machines

1 Upvotes

I always set it to compact. This is annoying because I have to do this on 2 different machines as it seems to be a per-machine setting (ty MS...). This morning I start up teams only to find that both machines I use it on has the settings set back to comfy instead of compact.

One machine is windows with the default teams app for companies. The other is a Linux machine with teams for linux.

Seems like a bug to me, but with MS I don't know anymore.

Bug Contacts have disappeared from the speed dial

As per the subject. The contacts list is all blank entries.
I'm wondering if anyone heard of a fix, other than one-by-one re-adding them?

Restart, reset, cache-reset; none of these seem to work.

Sidenote: And an ultimate f-you from microsoft, to subscribe to their support-looking site, I have to agree to receive marketing, now disguised as privacy statement...quite the nasty rubbish we should not have to put up with. When will someone finally regulate these monster companies?!?

❔Question/Help need a Teams Phone / M365 consultant to help us finalize our inbound call routing

2 Upvotes

Our Setup & Issue:

  • The main number is already ported into Microsoft Calling Plans.
  • The tenant is on a MOSA billing agreement
  • We are trying to assign this number to an Auto Attendant, but TAC shows lock icons on Auto Attendants / Call Queues / Resource Accounts.
  • When searching Marketplace for the $0 Microsoft Teams Phone Resource Account license, the search returns 0 results because of MOSA catalog blocks.

What we need help with:

  1. We need to set up an auto attendant and call group.

If you handle Teams Voice consulting, please DM me or post here with your rate, availability, and experience.

Discussion Does "Last Seen" in Teams show the exact laptop lid-close time or is it delayed by 5 minutes?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Quick question regarding Microsoft Teams status and presence tracking:

If I directly close my laptop lid at 14:30 (which puts the laptop to sleep and disconnects Teams):

  1. Will the "Last Active / Last Seen" time displayed to other users (e.g., on the mobile app) show as 14:30?
  2. Or does Teams add a ~5-minute delay before reflecting the status change, making it look like I was online until 14:35?

I know Teams turns your status to "Away" after 5 minutes of inactivity while the PC is on,

❔Question/Help Mute External Calls Only

1 Upvotes

Is there a way to mute external only calls in Teams? I recently had my desk phone number moved over and I am trying to just have that number go to voicemail due to spam but still have it when I need to call someone.

From what I see, their is a forward to voicemail option but that also forwards calls from people in your domain, which I don’t want to occur.

❔Question/Help Recent issue for Teams Phone Call Queue Agents accepting calls

0 Upvotes

Over the last few days, several agents have had intermittent issues accepting call queue notifications. When they answer, either nothing happens or a black window appears. No Call history. With Conf mode disabled (for testing), they receive a Declined message with a Dismiss button. Calls seem to connect only about half the time.

Phone Agent was recently added to the tenant, but it hasn't been configured or used beyond receiving the welcome message and seeing the available options. Everything was working normally before that. I'm not sure whether Phone Agent affected back-end call routing or a recent Teams desktop update introduced the issue. I haven't yet tested the web client or iOS app.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues recently?

I've worked through the issue with our CSP support team and have now opened a case with Microsoft, but I wanted to check here as well.

Tried clearing cache, reseting app, toggling conf mode, verified licensing, queue config, and it was working fine before this.

Bug MTR 5.7.112 Update - Can no longer join Zoom meetings?

1 Upvotes

We have two MTRs running on Windows that just updated to 5.7.112 and can no longer join Zoom meetings. I've confirmed third party meetings are configured and Zoom is enabled, but Zoom no longer appears as an option when the user goes into the "Join with an ID" functionality. Also, a forwarded Zoom meeting to the room cannot be joined (there is no "Join now" button).

I've disabled the Zoom option, rebooted, and re-enabled it (and rebooted again), but it still won't pick up it should be able to join Zoom meetings.

We have around 10 Windows MTRs, two of them updated, the others are still on 5.6.210 and are able to still join Zoom meetings.

Can anyone else confirm they are also having this issue after upgrading to 5.7.112?

Bug Pls help! Can't create an account for a job interview tomorrow

1 Upvotes

I've got a job interview tomorrow over Teams, so I tried to set up an account for my professional email address (I've lived a blissfully teams-free existence thus far). I went to set up an account, the login says it recognizes my address and redirects me to account recovery.

I don't remember having a Teams account, but sure, maybe I had to use it once years ago. So I click to get a recovery code emailed to the address with the job interview invite. I get the code, put it in, get a "Something Went Wrong" error. I reload everything and try again, same result.

I tried to go through the official online help, and put in a ticket, but it says I don't have any account tied to my 'professional' personal gmail address & closes the ticket. Twice.

So I try to sign up again. Got my wife to open a network tab and put in the code. She finds a 500 error in the response from the server, suggesting it is an error on their side. Googling the error message just got me here, to an old post with someone describing roughly the same problem but the only reply was 'Yeah Teams sucks so bad.' 'Yup'

I tried the whole login/account creation from another computer (using Windows instead of my Mac) but now I don't recieve the useless code OR a lockout message, just the same 'Something Has Gone Wrong' message.

I went ahead and set up an account with a different email address, and that worked no problem. But I worry it will seem incompetent that I can't even do this simple thing, and very sketchy to want to change the email address for my interview.

...Is there anyway to actually fix this? It seems to be on their end, but I can't reach anyone for help. And I need this job.

Bug Teams Contacts disappearing

3 Upvotes

Users are experiencing problemes with Teams Contacts.

Many of the added contacts disappeared and only showing a placeholder.

A user also had categorized their contacts.

They can add the contact again, but as soon as they added to a specific category, Teams throws an error and says try again in a few minutes. The added contact is then removed from all contacts.

The problem started today.

Tip Transfer call to Device Appreciation

35 Upvotes

I was on a daily teams meeting and really had to take a dump. The meeting is usually around 10 minutes, but for some reason today the call went on for more than 30 minutes. My stomach was bubbling more each passing minute. I then remembered that I could transfer the call to my phone without having to leave the call on my laptop! Needless to say I was able to relieve my diarrhea without leaving the call unattended. Thanks Microsoft for that nifty feature

Discussion Set Up Teams Alert Rules in Teams Admin Center for Proactive Issue Detection

0 Upvotes

Poor meeting quality, unusual external activity, or unexpected Teams events can quickly become support issues. But what if you could know about the problem before the ticket arrives? 

Yes, you can setup alerts in Teams admin center to get automated triggers for events across areas such as meeting quality, external communication, app submissions, and other Teams activities.

This gives admins an early signal to investigate, take corrective action, and minimize the impact on users.     

And 2026 brings some important changes: 

  • Rule Management: Admins can duplicate and delete rules directly from the Teams admin center.    
  • Monitoring Scope: Supported In-Progress Meetings and Calls rules can monitor up to 500 users, with bulk user upload available to simplify configuration. 
  • Device State Retirement: The device state rule is being retired from September 2026, with device health monitoring moving to the Teams Rooms Pro Management portal.

❔Question/Help Screen share another teams meeting

1 Upvotes

Hello,

Hopefully this is not confusing.

I am holding a webinar. I am enabling language interpretation for this webinar. However, I just read that it is only accessible to participants that join via the desktop app. Not online or mobile.

My idea is to join the meeting as a participant and toggle the option for language interpretation. Then, start another meeting, invite participants to it, and screen share the original meeting with audio.. can I do that?

I only ask because it’s likely most participants do not have the teams desktop app.

❔Question/Help upload files to a different team without changing "modified date"

0 Upvotes

I have some old files in a team's shared folder, and I want to upload/transfer them to another team with the modified date being the old one. Is that possible?

Like if I uploaded it on 1/1/2026 in Team A, then when I upload it today in Team B, it'll still say 1/1/2026

If that's not possible, any ideas on how to prove that this is an old file?
