safeguarding personal email addresses when sending out invites
Hi, I'm organising a Teams based partnership event and want to send invitations to 50 plus people from external organisations and private individuals. This creates issues under GDPR as they haven't all given consent to share their email addresses with one another. Looking at other similar questions I get the impression the only way to keep individuals emails private is to send the link via outlook and BCC the recipients. The issue I can see with doing this is that whilst they'll have a link to the event unless they email me back I won't know if they've accepted the invite and it won't go automatically into their calendar. Is there a way around this? I've seen some posts refer to "Hide attendee list" under "response options" tab in outlook but I don't appear to have that option in my version of Outlook. Any suggestions?
Custom Teams AI Bot does not have attachment button
My team is developing a custom teams AI bot that allows for file uploads. When testing this feature using the edge and chrome debugging, the attachment button does not appear, or it will appear for a moment and then disappear. This seems to be an ongoing issue, and we would like to know if it has a simple remedy or if this problem needs to be escalated to Microsoft Engineers. Please see the following Microsoft developer forum topic discussing the same issue: https://vyebmmo1fw.proxynodejs.usequeue.com//discussions/teamsdeveloper/file-upload-option-disappearing-in-teams-bot/4397456 My Manifest.json: Sensitive data has been removed "$schema": "https://8xxprk5q5u.proxynodejs.usequeue.com/en-us/json-schemas/teams/v1.19/MicrosoftTeams.schema.json", "manifestVersion": "1.19", "version": "2.0.0", "id": "${{TEAMS_APP_ID}}", "developer": { "name": "", "websiteUrl": "", "privacyUrl": "", "termsOfUseUrl": "" }, "icons": { "color": "", "outline": "" }, "name": { "short": "", "full": " " }, "description": { "short": "s", "full": "$[file('description.txt')]" }, "accentColor": "#005DAB", "bots": [ { "botId": "${{BOT_ID}}", "scopes": [ "personal", "team", "groupChat" ], "supportsFiles": true, "isNotificationOnly": false, ... }Unlock the Power of Webinars with Microsoft Teams for Nonprofits (With Video Tutorial)

Clarification regarding the URL change Hi , I noticed the shift from the old URL format to the new URL format for old Office 365 Connectors. After the transition to new URL format in O365 connectors it looks like this : New URL format for 0365 connectors : https://frq6j5njy3.proxynodejs.usequeue.com/... In new MS teams workflows the URL format is this : https://f1bjsl079t.proxynodejs.usequeue.com/workflows/... We want to differentiate between the O365 connector URLs and new MS Teams Workflow URLs currently if we observe the URLs we can see that for 0365 connectors we have webhook term in the URL and for new MS Teams Workflow URLswe have workflows term in the URL . So that we can use MessageCard or AdaptiveCard accordingly in the mean time for O365 connector and MS Teams Workflows respectively. Can we rely on this logic to differentiate between the O365 connector URLs and new MS Teams Workflow URLs . Will this pattern of using "webhook" for old connectors and "workflows" for new MS Teams Workflow URLs continue to be followed in the future, allowing us to differentiate between legacy and new integrations? Regarding the MessageCard support in new MS Teams Workflows In this doc. it is mentioned that We are currently developing a method for webhooks in the Workflow app to support the following scenarios and will share more details before March 30, 2025. Could you provide a specific ETA or date for when MessageCard support in the Workflow app will be fully available? We understand more details are expected by March 30, 2025, but we’re looking for a clearer timeline.

Hey there.

I just noticed that Teams does not allow users to delete the messages sent by others, but only allows users to delete the messages sent by themselves. This is different from a lot of IM software, e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram, and WeChat. However, Teams allow users to delete the whole conversation history with other users, which definitely contains the messages sent by others.
