Another feature that is supposed to be rolling out right now but hasn’t hit my tenant yet is channel/folder name change sync between Teams and SharePoint. It took way longer to come out than it should have, but now is just around the corner.

Please help! In order to add members to my teams they have to already be a part of my organization. My question is, How do I add them to my organization? Please help!

We will finally be able to choose where to download files! Why has it taken so long to implement?

[tonysimpkins]

Any word on virtual backgrounds on VDI?

[floriangroeschl]

Hi, thanks for you videos I realy enjoy them. One quick question. How can I activate that "single team view" that you are using in 3:35? Never seen that before or is this view edu only?

Live captions and recording is subject to privacy issues in a number of countries where it is illegal to record people's voices. (Captions technically still violate that law because your still recording the voice to create the captions).
In the company I work for we have been told we are not allowed to record meetings

Also, when are Microsoft going to add to the few reply icons in teams chat, that is a long overdue request, almost as long as reply with quote on windows, which only recently got implemented

Not having a frown icon or to be able to select your own is long long overdue

Animated gifs as background image would be nice, other collaboration software has this

OneDrive and Teams file integration doesn't seem to exist in the desktop app. Am I missing something obvious?

[JeremiahMcaninch]

All really great enhancements. I'm awaiting tabbed conversations to make a resurgence, it made being able to handle multiple text conversations at the same time much more manageable when it was available in Skype.

I have a question for anyone who may know the answer. I've been wanting to setup a sequential Approval flow in Teams. It currently will only let you add many approves who must all approve before the request is complete however there is no order of who can first approve before it moves to the next approver. Is there anyway to create an approval flow that will work in sequential order?

Hi Mike! What determines a sharp background during Teams meetings? I have created some backgrounds following Microsoft’s guidelines, but the background gets blurry to the extent that the text in the background looks awful. Your background in this meeting looks crisp! Any tips?

i need to communicate with attendees post webinar, now i use Outlook….is there a way to reply to attendees ?

[JohnNo]

Teams is trying to be the all in one app.
What is not up there yet is the search functionality. You cannot find something easily among all those chats/teams etc.

[davidcarrico]

Great video. With some of the more recent improvements to the web experience lately, do you know if they have improved the Q&A feature? When it originally came out, there didn’t seem to be any support for external users joining via the web interface.

[danimarquez]

Hi Mike! Thanks a lot for sharing this! Do you happen to know when the Microsoft Whiteboard will be also available to work with users from outside your organization? Thank you!

[harrietfurton]

I love your demos, but when I try to reproduce them on office, it program says “ we are sorry -we are running into an issue.” Oh Microsoft!!!

[geechiisuede]

Question:. How can I download all the messages from the chat? Like capture the chat log from a meeting or webinar
