Hello, just wondering if anyone can help...

When I have a teams meeting open and click on "show conversation" (little speech bubble) it breaks the window in that the top bar disappears. I can't then do anything other than close the window.

Did a google and couldn't find anything similar.

I run two monitors, one in portrait mode.

Anyone else come up with this?

>the top bar disappears

two options - is it full screen? try hitting f11

or more likely the top bar is off the screen, try alt+spacebar to bring up the context menu then use the "move" option to bring it back onscreen

Have you had half a windows update apply and need a reboot - most windows apps tend to suffer random weirdness if it needs a reboot

Try it using one monitor to rule that out as a possible quirk.

Take a screenshot and show us?

My wife's laptop can't share application windows in Teams for some odd reason, you just get a black screen shared. Does seem to be a bit buggy...

Not had this issue myself and use Teams with two monitors, NBT's suggestions above are good though

My company has recently switched off Skype and Sharepoints and most stuff is on teams now. Its infuriating...every man and his dog has their own spreadsheet or tracker and you can't cross reference between anything as far as I can tell...

Work on one teams spreadsheet, need to enter something on another and you have to switch over...

Want a load of of dates from one page...end up copying them into notepad to then transfer into another.

Pre-empt interuptions by popping out conversations of the people you regularly talk to and then go to a spreadsheet, someone else messages (or you accidentally click the popup of a new message) and boom, out of what you were doing and back in the chat view.

I find it really unfriendly, why can't it use tabs or something 🙁

Spooky - the short answer to your frustrations is “you’re doing it wrong”. You don’t need to be viewing those spreadsheets inside the teams app. I think rather than talk you through that specific issue, I’d recommend you look for a short training vid or something. Is your organisation providing anything? If not YouTube. An hour or two doing that will pay off in spades.

The biggest issue with teams is only being allowed to log into one account.

Thanks Goldfish, I'll look into that!
