However, it came into its own once the COVID-19 pandemic began and businesses needed to ensure employees could work safely from home. MS Teams is still the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessofapps.com\/data\/microsoft-teams-statistics\/#:~:text=Over%20a%20quarter%20of%20a,communication%20service%20in%20the%20world.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most popular business communication solution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> being used to communicate and enable productivity in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any technology, MS Teams isn\u2019t infallible and users do encounter the occasional issue. Fortunately, most issues that occur with MS Teams are minor and can be solved easily. Following are some of the common Microsoft Teams problems that come up on occasion, and how to resolve them quickly and easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Error when logging in\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reasonably common issue with Microsoft Teams is you see an error when trying to log in. Most often this is because your login credentials are incorrect so you should check you are using the correct username and password. If this doesn\u2019t resolve the issue, check the error message and contact the IT department to get support to access Teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common error messages:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0xCAA20003: Authorisation problem<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0xCAA82EE2: Request timed out<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0xCAA20004: Request requires approval<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Messages aren\u2019t loading properly<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some users reported only being able to view old conversations or not seeing any of the latest messages that have been sent across their channels or seeing an error message when trying to load.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be due to two possible issues:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your internet connection is the problem. Check to see if other sites and apps are working correctly. If it could be your connection, restarting your device or rebooting the internet router could be the solution.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Teams app or Teams may be experiencing a connection glitch. This happens every so often but usually forcing Teams to close and the reopening solves the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8916 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/intelliworx.co\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/08\/ms-teams-meeting.jpg\" alt=\"workers doing collaborative work\" width=\"800\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intelliworx.co\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/08\/ms-teams-meeting.jpg 800w, https:\/\/intelliworx.co\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2022\/08\/ms-teams-meeting-300x131.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microphone and webcam not working in meetings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">External devices such as microphones, speakers, and webcams can cause issues when used. If you can&#8217;t hear or see other attendees or have them hear or see you after joining a Teams meeting, there are a couple of things you can do to troubleshoot the issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check first to see that the meeting host hasn\u2019t muted you and other participants, and then ensure your devices are plugged in properly and the settings for both microphone and camera are set up properly. If you are only having problems accessing your camera and microphone in Teams, the specific issue could be permissions need to be changed to access those ancillaries. This can be done by clicking the Teams icon on the top right corner of your screen then going into the Manage Account option and then selecting \u2018App permissions). Ensure the \u2018media\u2019 toggle button is set to on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No Teams notifications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s always \u2018switched on\u2019 world means we\u2019re used to being notified when new messages or alerts are updated across our communication channels. If Teams is not giving you notifications but other desktop apps are, there could be several reasons for that:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have switched your status to Do Not Disturb or Focus Time, which means Teams won\u2019t send you notifications<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your settings have been altered so the right notifications aren\u2019t coming through. Check this in the \u2018Manage Account\u2019 option and select \u2018Notifications\u2019 to ensure the right settings are selected for all the options provided.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unable to create new Teams<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the major drawcards of Microsoft Teams is being able to create teams and channels to suit any project or task to make communication and teamwork simple! But not all users have permission to create new teams, and generally, there will be specific policies in place to limit who can do so. This might be to keep things organised or for privacy policy reasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need to create a new team and can\u2019t, talk to the system administrator and see if they can do it or grant permission for you to do it. Alternatively, you can create a channel instead of a team, including specific colleagues who are involved in the project or task, which will meet the same needs as a team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Microsoft Teams support from the experts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Microsoft Teams, you can guarantee that your company is operating efficiently and profitably.
