Known issues with Microsoft Teams

Reduced service delivery during period
The following issue has been identified with Microsoft Teams:

Students are not found when using the New Chat button to start a new chat from the top of the Chat list in Teams. The issue has been reported to Microsoft. In the interim the following workaround can be used to initiate chats with students, using the Teams web client (Microsoft Teams) :

1) In the Search bar at the very top of the Teams window search for the students name or sNumber. If presented, click View all results

2) Select the People tab to view the search results.

3) Locate the students result. When hovering over the top right-hand corner of their record an icon with ...a diagonal arrow appears. This can be used to initiate a chat with the student.

After the student has been added to the chat, their chat will appear in the Chat list and now also in the results of the New Chat button
