This is done rolling out and you should all be able to use this function in your Teams now. Ping me at sparavi (at) Microsoft (dot) com if you have any questions!

The restore the deleted channel is available. Here is the release note snip.

Restore a deleted channel

You’re now able to restore any channel you deleted up to 21 days after taking action (click Manage team then open the Channels tab to get started). Anyone can do this by default, but there’s a team setting that restricts restoring and deleting channels to team owners only.

Since the restore channel is available I will flag this one completed.

However, we are still working on the issue with SharePoint folder names not being synced after deleting or renaming. The UV topic tracking the SharePoint issue can be found at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/16927219-re-using-the-same-channel-name

We are happy to announce that pinning of specific participant’s video in Meetings is rolled out to the public ring now. Enjoy!

Dark theme has arrived! The android and iOS apps are both updated in the App Stores. Thanks for your patience, and enjoy!

This is completed.

The up arrow to edit the last message only works in chat or specific reply chains.

This does not work in the command box.

If you feel this isn’t working correctly or should work differently please let us know by contacting TeamsML@microsoft.com

Thank you!

Thank you all for the feedback and support.

I have confirmed with the feature team that this is, in fact, functioning as you expect today – you can share your entire desktop or a specific window directly from a private chat session, without starting audio or video. The mute microphone button is enabled so you are able to easily add audio by “unmuting”, but we realize this is causing confusion. We are working on further experience improvements.

Please feel free to respond to teamsml@microsoft.com if you are still seeing issues.

Thanks,
Alex

The feature team confirmed this feature has released as of April 4th for web and desktop.

Thank you all for the support and feedback!

This is now done for Android and iOS!

This is now available on all platforms.

Switching status to “completed” from “We have this”.

Hi everyone,

We do have this feature!
In order to have the Teams application start in the background you will need to set these two items.

Under Settings, within Teams, you need to select both of these options:
1) Auto-start application
2) Open application in background

If those two are selected, upon restart of the OS when you first login in, the Team app should start in the background and only appear in hidden application bar and not on the main Taskbar.

Please NOTE: If you exit the Teams application, then click the Teams’ icon to launch the app, it will now load in the foreground. The background start up is only when you first log into the OS and the application automatically launches in the background.

You can now hyperlink any text.

To do so click on the “A” icon just under the compose box, this will expand the compose box.
From the expanded view, you can type the text you wish, select the text then click the chain icon at the top of the compose box.
This will allow you to add a hyperlink to the selected text. You may also enter the text into “text to display” field in this pop up box.

Thank you for the suggestions and keep that feedback coming!

We have removed the 24-hour limit on all messages. We have also added the ability for owners to delete messages. HOWEVER, on the latter function, this is not on by default — the IT admin needs to enable the feature to allow team owners to delete any message.

Let me know if you have any questions!

This is done! For more details on how you can join video meetings from your smartphone, just read our blog post announcing this feature: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams-Blog/New-collaboration-features-in-Microsoft-Teams-mobile-apps/ba-p/89019

Thank you for your support of Teams and your great feedback, which made this feature possible. THANK YOU!!

I’ve gotten feedback from the feature team that copying images into chat should work, but different than you would expect with external images. External images pasted into a message will show up as a link. Prior to the update, pasting an external image simply broke.

If you wish to paste an external image and not have it appear as a link, then you will need to past it into the clipboard and then copy the image from the clipboard into the message.

This is done! Read all about it on our blog: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams-Blog/Now-available-Outlook-add-in-to-schedule-meetings-in-Microsoft/ba-p/71157

If you have any problems with this feature, email me directly at sparavi @ Microsoft.com.
