Upload Image/Banner on Announcement post is no longer available.

I'm with you Caroline, I use the announcements to grab the teams attention, it really helps it to stand out amongst the myriad of messages we pass between eachothe,r every day.

Like you I thought it was just because I was using early access, but it doesn't seem to be available at all now.

I still use it, by not using new Teams and also removing my public preview check.

Perhaps someone at MS will know what they are doing, or have the courtesy to respond :)

Now its October and they are pushing new Teams - this is still like this - as someone who uses Teams to write updates and bloggy info for engagement - its annoying..

Hi Rachel,

Using Firefox does let you use add an image, but even though it suggests you are in public preview, you are not looking at the preview.

When using preview in the app version of Teams , you start a new post from the top, and the announcement element only lets you change colour.

When logged in to Teams on Firefox, this feature is not being previewed, we're just looking at the current version.

It's all very confusing, but acceptable, as it is just a preview.

It takes arround 10 seconds to uncheck public peview and post a picture rich, announcement post. :)

I was able to also use Firefox to add an announcement banner! A crazy loophole.. but glad it is working for now... @microsoft!! Please address soon! :(

I can get an announcements banner in all the browsers (edge, chrome, firefox). The issue is that it's HUGE. Literally 2.5" tall. It takes up SO much real estate. We can also no longer customize this banner. I created 2 announcement samples. Below is the view of a large monitor and a laptop. The banner size is ridiculously large. As per someones request above, when I tried Firefox it looked smaller and more normal size but when I viewed it on a different browser and in Teams client, it was still 2.5 inches tall. Our organization relies on Teams and could benefit from using announcements but will wait until they're more reasonable size.

Looks like your version of Firefox already has the updated Teams version. Mine still looks like the screenshot below. That version lets me post like before, but every other version I've tried is the updated version and gives me these garbage banners and doesn't let me customize with graphics, etc.
