Hi,
I'm a teacher using a teams account connected with the school! When I start a meeting in Teams I can't see the icon for the use of breakoutrooms. I checked the microsoft guide for working with the breakout rooms, but I can't get the icon to appear in the meeting. I checked my settings according to the guide and it should work.
Some tips on how to get the icon in would be much appreciated! :)
Cheers!

Looking at this again, I think it's created so it's not run again on the same system.
$file = 'c:\windows\system32\fixTeamsBreakoutButton.txt'
#If the file does not exist, create it.
if (-not(Test-Path -Path $file -PathType Leaf)) {
try {
Remove-Item "HKLM:\Software\Citrix\PortICA" -Recurse
Get-ChildItem C:\Users |%{Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$_\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Teams\*" -Force -Recurse}
$null = New-Item -ItemType File -Path $file -Force -ErrorAction Stop
}
catch {
throw $_.Exception.Message
}
}
Hi Alan. In your script above, what is the purpose of creating "FixTeamsBreakoutButton.txt"? My thought is that if the removal of Teams AppData is successful, the file exists. Is that correct? I am curious why it's being created in the system32 folder.
We are looking into pushing this out via SCCM to run at startup. I am just wondering if we could place the output of the command in that file, though I don't know if SCCM can do anything with it. Possibly instead, it could write a line into a file on a network drive that would include a timestamp, the machine name and the result.
I am similarly curious: do all Teams accounts—paid as well as free—have breakout rooms available? If not, how can I purchase a subscription of some sort that enables breakout rooms?
The directory rebuilds upon startup, note there are also image directories and other that may also require refreshing. As I noted, the fix I posted also resolves an issue with Video not working correctly in Meet Now meetings in Teams as well. The deletion of the entire contents of the %userdata%\roaming\microsoft\teams directory was also recommended by a Microsoft Teams CE.
Thanks, Alan. I should have said "renaming the folder" (better than deleting) and, you're right, I experienced no real issues after doing so, other than I had to go into Settings and turn dark mode back on. But I now have the new meeting experience, including breakout rooms! 🙌🏻
We were also experiencing a Teams video issue, where you couldn't see anyone else's video if Teams was maximized. Had a ticket open with Microsoft, which did not provide a solution, but one day it just started working again. No changes on our side (and we do not use Citrix nor have that folder).
The wonderful, magical, world of Microsoft. ✨
