The Teams web app is updated weekly. Teams desktop client updates are released every two weeks after rigorous internal testing and validation through our Technology Adoption Program (TAP). The update usually takes place on a Tuesday. If a critical update is required, Teams will bypass this schedule and release the update as soon as it’s available.
While we were writing we ran into the inquiry “Is it possible to update Microsoft Teams devices remotely?”.
The scheduled date and time are ignored. Additionally, updating Microsoft Teams devices remotely is a feature not yet available on US Government Cloud tenants (GCC-High). To manage devices, you need to be a Global admin, Teams Service admin, or Teams Device admin.
You may be asking “How do I check for updates to my Microsoft Teams profile?”
The answer is these log files contain personally identifiable information (PII) and so they’re not sent to Microsoft. Teams can automatically start the update process (depending on the policy) or users can manually check for updates by going to their profile picture > Check for updates. Both methods use the following sequence of events. Check for updates.
This of course begs the question “What happens to the log file after a Microsoft Teams update?”
It will likely contain failure information. These log files contain personally identifiable information (PII) and so they’re not sent to Microsoft. Teams can automatically start the update process (depending on the policy) or users can manually check for updates by going to their profile picture > Check for updates.
Does microsoft teams do polling?
With Microsoft Forms, you can create an instant, real time poll in seconds in Microsoft Teams. Post a poll in your Teams channel or quickly gather feedback in a chat pane. Note: This feature is not available for GCC, GCC High, and Do, and d environments. Go to the channel or chat in which you want to include a poll.
Here’s how to use and create polls in Microsoft Teams meetings. Adding a poll to a meeting is part of the administration of the meeting, so only organizers or presenters can add and manage polls. External guests and other attendees can all respond to Microsoft Teams polls, though.
One idea is that If your meeting has been forwarded to someone outside of your team or organization, they won’t be able to create or edit polls nor see the poll notification that appears in the middle of their meeting screen. They can, however, access the poll in Chat during the meeting. Only meeting owners and presenters can create, manage, and launch polls.
How to vote in polls in teams without being in chat?
Your attendees can vote in polls from their mobile devices without having to visit the Teams chat. They can directly respond via the pop-up window, an experience on par with the desktop experience. With this update, anonymous (guest) attendees will be able to view the poll and vote just like registered users.

Where does Microsoft Teams store channel conversations?
Team channel conversations are stored in azure and copied to the same folder on the attached group mailbox (hidden) similar to chats. Files in chats get saved to the uploaders or chat starter’s MIcrosoft Teams Chat Files (Upload) or inplace share from One, and drive.
One of the next things we asked ourselves was: where are chat messages saved in teams?
I don’t know where chat is saved but you can search for past chat messages in the search box at the top of the Teams window (with the transient text, “Look for messages, files, and more. Or type / for a list of commands.”).
How do I quickly call people that I previously saved to teams?
Go to Calls and review the History section in the center of the screen. Select any item from the list and then choose Call in the Details section on the right side of Teams. From your speed dial, you can quickly call people that you previously saved to this list.
Can I create a poll and see the results?
Even better, any member of the team can create a poll, and all members of the team can vote and see the results. This means it’s both democratic and transparent, as well as recorded if you need to refer back to the poll results at a later date.
