If someone sends a Teams meeting invitation to my private email address, the email content looks like this
Microsoft Teams Need help?

Join the meeting now

Meeting ID: 999 999 999 9

Passcode: XXXXXX

For organizers: Meeting options
For some reason, the email body doesn't contain the date and time of the meeting. How can I find out when it is? There are other threads on the Web describing the same problem .

I'm wondering if there is a way to record Microsoft Teams meetings with a smartphone; I'm using a Motorola Moto G6 Play and the record button doesn't appear. Image I tried with a screen recorder, but Android doesn't allow you to record internal audio unless you root your smartphone (in this case the warranty goes away).

Can't chat in Microsoft Teams on Android with coworker with internal phone number 911
Premise: I'm living and working in Switzerland where 911 isn't an emergency call number. One of my colleagues has an internal phone nr 911 (which can't be changed easily because it's mapped directly to the last three digits of the external phone number) Communicating with him in Teams works without...
Premise: I'm living and working in Switzerland where 911 isn't an emergency call number. One of my colleagues has an internal phone nr 911 (which can't be changed easily because it's mapped directly to the last three digits of the external phone number) Communicating with him in Teams works without any special issues in Teams on Windows. Trying to chat with him in Teams on my mobile phone fails because Microsoft feels compelled to warn me that I can't message 911 via Teams. Screenshot of Microsoft Teams suggesting to call 911 I looked for an option to skip this Message but I'm only presented with the option to call 911 or send an SMS to 911 (which makes sense in about a dozen countries in the world). A quick Google search didn't turn up anything useful for me. Can you explain to me how to get the chat with my colleague working or point me to a resource that explains how to solve that problem? **Update:** It's even weirder! The user has the internal Phone number 988 and not 911. Now I'm totally confused! With other coworkers whose internal phone number starts with 9 I can chat without any issue...

Presenting screen in Teams for Android: Screen goes blank when I move hand near camera
I have Microsoft Teams installed on my Samsung tablet. I often share my tablet screen in Teams meetings. When I move my hand near the tablet screen, the screen goes blank (temporarily). Why does this happen? Is it some sort of functionality for quickly stopping presenting in an emergency?

Squeaky voice with Microsoft Teams on eOS and iodéOS
On both Android phones I own (all systems up-to-date), MS Teams calls are not usable, since the caller voices are all squeaky. I have the impression that a compression algorithm in the background is not doing its job properly. The phones are a Fairphone 4 (with the latest eOS) and a Fairphone 3 (wit...
On both Android phones I own (all systems up-to-date), MS Teams calls are not usable, since the caller voices are all squeaky. I have the impression that a compression algorithm in the background is not doing its job properly. The phones are a Fairphone 4 (with the latest eOS) and a Fairphone 3 (with the latest iodéOS). The problem occurs every time someone calls, both with and without video. Everything else seems to be working fine, just voice is unusable. Some internet searches reveal that the issue might not be related to MS Teams itself, but I doubt that, since normal calls and VOIP works just fine. So the question is: is there a workaround, some package that I’m missing, or is MS Teams plainly incompatible with de-Google-d operating systems?

MS Teams Audio issues via Pixel 6

In the last week I began running into an issue. Not sure if there was a system update (could have happened overnight). **In short audio doesn't work in teams meetings until I clear the cache for the app.** - Issue occurs with both wired and wireless headphones - Audio will work via phone's built in speakers - Once it is reset it will work for one meeting or a couple. I haven't figured out what triggers the issue - Issue is limited to MSTeams, other applications (music/audible/youtube) work just fine. So far I have tried: - Restarts, which did nothing - Removal/reinstall of the application, this worked similarly to clearing the cache, it helped but only temporarily Teams vsn: 1416/1.1.1.2022363703 Android vsn: 12

How can I configure Do Not Disturb so calls don't interrupt a Teams meeting?

When I'm connected to a Bluetooth headset, it seems Do Not Disturb is meaningless. I turn it on (sometimes allowing Starred Contacts to interrupt, sometimes none) and put on my earbuds to work, alternating between listening to media and joining Teams meetings. Unknown callers, suspected spam and even my ex-wife ring right thru and interrupt the audio of my meetings. Even if I decline the call, it takes several seconds more meeting audio to return to my headset. Please help. If I'm giving a presentation and it's interrupted one more time by the phone ringing from someone I wouldn't answer even without DnD active I might do something drastic, like buying an iPhone. By the way, I still love my Pixel 2, but I'll upgrade if that will fix this travesty.
