Just getting back to work after vacation and noticed the Conversation button in the top right-hand corner is no longer visible when documents and spreadsheets, both existing and new, are opened in Teams. We use the Conversation button to notify and tag the appropriate channel members that the document has been updated and to share information. This button is no longer available/visible to me; however, it's visible to my associate. See the attached screenshots of a document that was created and opened in Teams.
• Screenshot #1 is from my Teams application (MacBook Pro) showing that the Conversation button is missing.
• Screenshot #2 is from my associate's Teams application (MacBook Pro) with the Conversation button circled in red.
Here are the Teams applications version numbers for myself and our associate. I'm confident that this issue is directly related to the latest version of Teams that was updated yesterday; however, Microsoft Chat Support says that's not the case.
Me: You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.17261. It was last updated on 6/29/22.
Associate: You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.15861. It was last updated on 6/14/22.
I've also confirmed that a user outside of my organization running Version 1.5.00.17867 is also experiencing this issue as of this week.
Any assistance would be very helpful.
Additional team and channel-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for business
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Not sure if it helps to convince MS, but this is a highly praised functionality in our organisation as well... C'mon MS, taking away features is NOT what we call progress! Put the conversations button back!
I also have the same issue. ANd, like others have reported, other team members do not have this issue.,
Hi AKTeel-
I'm actually running Teams on my MacBook Pro and experiencing the issue.
Thx.
I had actually opened a ticket with our IT team because I thought a change had been made with access rights to share content. I use the conversations button at least once per week if not multiple times per week and so do many others in the organization. When I built the business case for implementing Teams for collaboration this was one of the key features I presented. Commenting in documents creates a bunch of extra e-mail (if configured to notify) which is the exact opposite direction our organization wants to go. We are attempting to communicate internally using Teams instead of attempting to use e-mail as a collaboration tool. This is a very critical feature and needs to be brought back immediately!
I totally agree! Please do not ever remove this since having a conversation for a document might be the most important collaboration functionality within the plattform!
I've noticed that it is missing as soon as I change the client to preview mode.
