presentation is not visible in teams

What to do if you can’t see a shared presentation or video in Teams?

A few days ago, i was participating in a Microsoft Teams meeting with several colleagues and customers. I then noticed that the presenter was describing a slide which i wasn’t able to see. I then opened a private chat with a colleague and quickly understood that the presentation was fully visible to other participants but not to me.

In this short post i would like to describe the simple troubleshooting process i went through to be able to access that presentation. I use a Windows 10 operating system, so this should be relevant for previous Windows versions. Took 2 minutes and i was up and running.

Can’t join / view Microsoft Teams presentation – how to fix?

Step #1: check your network.

I initially thought the issue was related to my Virtual Private Network connection (VPN). I disconnected, and the issue wasn’t solved. I then look into the WIFI signal in home office – all good. Problem still there.

Step #2: Re-start Microsoft Teams

Quit and restart the Microsoft Teams app.

• From the Windows taskbar (bottom of your screen), find the Microsoft Teams icon.
• Make a right Click and hit Quit .
• Then from taskbar hit the Search icon (Magnifying Glass).
• Then type Microsoft Teams and hit Enter to launch the application.
• Next step was to try again to view the presentation, again – no luck.

Step #3: Clear Teams cache

My third step was to reset the application cache. Here’s how that is done:

• First off, quit Microsoft Teams. Note that Teams won’t allow you to clear the cache if the app is still running in the background.
• From the Task bar, hit the Search button. Alternatively, use the Windows button + S shortcut.
• Type %appdata% .
• The Windows Explorer dialog will open. Now navigate to the Microsoft folder.
• You’ll see a folder named Teams . Make a copy of that folder, and store it in a safe place in your PC.
• Now enter the Teams folder and delete the Cache folder.
• Restart Teams, the problem should be gone.

Hello Office Insiders, I’m Lishan Yu, a program manager on the PowerPoint team. You might have heard that we announced the PowerPoint Live in Teams feature at Microsoft Ignite last month. Today, I’m excited to show you how to check out this new experience, and start presenting in Teams meetings from PowerPoint.

Presenting in Teams meetings

Presenting in a meeting used to be as simple as clicking Slide Show in your PowerPoint deck. Nowadays, even though you may not be in the same room as your audience, we believe your flow to present should be as easy and intuitive – clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint is the only step you need to take to present the deck in your Teams meeting!

How it works

Give the feature a try next time you need to present in a Teams meetings:

• Join a Teams meeting or an ad-hoc Teams call.
• Open your presentation in PowerPoint for Windows.
• Click the Present in Teams button in the top right corner.

Scenarios to try

Ready to take the PowerPoint Live feature for a spin? Try some of the scenarios below.

As a presenter :

• After clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint, notice that you can see both the chat and your content at the same time in Teams (and don’t feel like you’re missing out on the discussion).
• Take advantage of features like grid review and slide notes to present more effectively.

As an audience member :

• If you joined late, move back through the deck and quickly catch up without having to ask the presenter to stop and recap what was already shared.
• Interact with and experience the richness of the content being presented such as better video quality, live web links, and more.
• Make any adjustments you need to more fully enjoy the presentation (i.e., use high-contrast mode).

Requirements

In order to try out the feature, you will need to:

• Have the latest Teams desktop app installed.
• Store the presentation on OneDrive for Business or SharePoint.
• Join a Teams meeting before clicking the Present in Teams button in PowerPoint for Windows.
• Be using an Office 365 E3/A3, Office 365 E5/A5, or Microsoft 365 for Government license. 

Availability

This feature is rolling out over the next several days to Insiders running Beta Channel Version 2104 (Build 13926.20000) and later.

We’d love your feedback, so please let us know how you think. To get in touch, do either of the following:

• Inside the app, select the Help button in the top-right corner of the app.
• Respond to this post or tweet at @OfficeInsider .

Learn what  other information you should include in your feedback  to ensure it’s actionable and reaches the right people. We’re excited to hear from you!

DII NCAA men's basketball championship history

The Division II men's basketball championship consists of a 64-team field with eight qualifiers from each region competing at a single regional site. Twenty-three teams earn automatic qualifications and the remaining 41 receive at-large bids to the tournament. Once the eight regionals conclude, respective teams will advance to the Men's Elite Eight at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.

The DII men's basketball national championship dates back to 1957, skipping 2020 due to COVID-19, with the first-ever championship trophy going to Wheaton (Ill.). Kentucky Wesleyan is the winningest team, with eight national championships. Evansville follows with five titles.

Below is a list of all DII men's basketball champs since 1957:

Getting started with Planner in Teams

The Planner app in Microsoft Teams brings together all your tasks and plans across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem in a single convenient location. It helps you manage tasks more efficiently for individual plans and team initiatives, as well as larger scale projects that are aligned to goals and key strategic objectives. 

Once you add the Planner app to Teams, you'll find:

My Day : Includes any tasks that are due today, along with any tasks you choose to add to this view.

My Tasks : Includes a dedicated place called Private Tasks for you to quickly create tasks, Flagged Emails, and Tasks that have been assigned to you from Team’s meeting notes, basic plans, premium plans, and Loop components.

My Plans : Includes all of your To Do lists, basic plans, and premium plans.

New Plan : Create new personal or shared plans directly in the app.

You can also use the Planner app to get notifications about Planner tasks.

Add the Planner app

Tip:  To pin the app for easy access, right click on Planner after adding the app and select Pin . To open the Planner app in a separate window, select Open in new window .

Note:  If you don't see Planner, your organization might not have the app turned on. Check with your administrator to find out more.

Plan your day with My Day 

My Day is a clutter-free focus space that helps you stay on top of tasks that you want to focus on today. Tasks from My Tasks and personal plans that are due today will show up in My Day. You can also create tasks that you feel are important and may need your attention.

Your daily dashboard:

Handpicked priorities: Determine and add your main tasks for the day.

Auto-population: Tasks from My Tasks and personal plans that are due today automatically appear on My Day, keeping you on top of important deadlines.

Prioritize and work on these tasks: Once the tasks are on My Day, you can prioritize the tasks in the order you want to accomplish them today.

Start fresh in My Day each day: My Day clears itself every night, so you can start the next day with a blank slate and personalize your day. Any unfinished tasks in My Day that are left over before it clears will be available in the original Plan that they came from.

Track your tasks in My Tasks

Planner offers a purpose-built My Tasks view, designed to centralize all the tasks relevant to you. My Tasks is organized into four distinct views, each serving a unique purpose:

Private tasks :   Private tasks is a place for you to quickly jot down tasks at the speed of thought. This is a place where you can create tasks that do not belong to a plan yet. You can then further organize these tasks inside Plans by selecting More actions, which will help you move these unorganized tasks in definitive plans.

Assigned to me :   Includes all of the tasks that have been assigned to you in Teams meeting notes, basic plans, premium plans, Loop component, and shared lists in To Do.

Flagged emails : All your flagged emails from Outlook appear in the Flagged emails section. You can also navigate to the emails directly from the task by selecting the attachment.

All : The All view provides an aggregation of all your individual tasks from Private tasks, Assigned to me, and Flagged emails. You can then filter and sort to meet your needs. For example, if you want to see all your tasks that are due tomorrow and are urgent, just apply the filter on this view and you will get a curated list of tasks.

See all of your plans with My Plans

The My Plans page in Planner shows all of your plans, no matter where they were created. This includes lists created in To Do, plans created in Planner and Project for the web, Loop plans, plans from Teams meeting notes, and more.

The My Plans page provides five filters to help find the right plan or list:

Recent:  Shows your most recently accessed plans and lists.

Shared:  Shows your shared plans and lists.

Personal:  Shows your personal plans and lists.

Pinned:  Shows all plans and lists you have pinned.

My teams:  Shows all of your plans that are shared with a Team’s channel.

Tip:  Use keywords to quickly find plans and lists by selecting  Filter by keyword .

Create new plans

With plans, you can easily manage your team workload, track work towards team goals, organize work into sprints using agile planning, track dependencies on the timeline view, and more.

Get notifications about Planner tasks

Task notifications will appear in your Teams activity feed both on your desktop and in the Teams mobile app. You'll get a notification when:

Someone else assigns a task to you.

Someone else assigns an urgent task to you.

Someone else makes a task assigned to you urgent.

Someone else makes a task assigned to you not urgent.

Someone else changes the progress of a task assigned to you.

Someone removes you from a task's assignees.

New Teams - Activity status is not visible outlook. - register teams as the chat app for office

We use onprime exchange and have office e3 license. With new teams, I can no longer see the user status on outlook. There is no "register teams as the chat app for office" option. Does anyone have knowledge about this?

Current teams application version:

You have Microsoft Teams version  24033.813.2773.520 .

You've got the latest version. It was last updated on 01.04.2024.

The client version is  49/24022924517 .

Hi Fatih_EU, Thank you for reaching out to this forum. I'm Utkarsh and as a fellow Microsoft user, I'm here and ready to help you today. I am a user like you, this is a user forum and not Microsoft directly. Do not worry, I will help you sort this issue, rest assured that I will do my best to assist you. Based on the information you provided here are the steps to resolve the issues: 1. Activity Status Not Visible in Outlook - Make sure that the Teams app is installed on your computer. - Ensure that the Teams app on your computer is running. - For the contact whose presence you can’t see, verify that their email address and Teams sign-in address are the same. - Check the registry settings on your computer to verify that Teams is registered as the default instant messaging (IM) app. - Check whether the .tlb file is present in the correct path. 2. Register Teams as the Chat App for Office - It seems like there is a known issue with the new Teams not allowing Outlook to display contact status. - A workaround suggested by users is to deactivate the "New Teams" experience to restore the presence in Outlook. - Microsoft is aware of this issue and it may be resolved in a future update. However, you can refer to the below links for further information: (1) User presence status issues in Outlook - Microsoft Teams. https://learn.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/troubleshoot/teams-im-presence/issues-with-presence-in-outlook. (2) New Teams is not allowing Outlook to display contact status.. https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/50132308-aab8-4066-8707-5dc4e2ced6bb. I hope this information helps! If I can be of help with anything else, please let me know. I will be glad to answer any other questions that you might have. Give back to the Community. Help the next person who has this issue by indicating if this reply solved your problem. Click Yes or No below. Warm Regards, Utkarsh

Was this reply helpful? Yes No

Sorry this didn't help.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

First of all, thank you for your return. I cannot access the first link you sent.

Additionally, we cannot disable new teams anymore. It gives the warning "You need to install classic Teams first". When I want to download from Microsoft, the teams field for work appears to be "new teams". I guess "new teams" are mandatory on the business side now?

Will we no longer be able to see the activity status for Onprime exchange and teams?

Hi Fatih_EU, I apologize for the inconvenience. Let's address your concerns: 1. New Teams Mandatory: Yes, Microsoft has announced that after March 31, 2024, any classic Teams users that haven't updated to new Teams, will be automatically updated to new Teams. New features and enhancements will be available exclusively on new Teams. 2. Classic Teams Download: It seems that Microsoft has phased out the classic Teams and it's no longer available for download. 3. Activity Status Visibility: The activity status visibility in Outlook requires Microsoft Teams to be installed, running, and configured to display presence. For the contact whose presence you can’t see, verify that their email address and Teams sign-in address are the same. If they are not, the contact should correct the addresses as necessary, sign out of Teams, and then sign back in. Please note that these are the best solutions available at the moment and the situation may change as Microsoft continues to update and improve Teams. I hope this information helps! If I can be of help with anything else, please let me know. I will be glad to answer any other questions that you might have. Warm Regards, Utkarsh
