Can data be imported into Teams? Is there an Application Programming Interface (API) to allow imports?
You can use the Graph API or Microsoft Power Automate (Flow) to interact with Teams in a programmatic way. More information on this tool is available in this Microsoft Power Automate Overview video.
Can I use Grouper?
Grouper groups can be used to create a Teams group that has a large number of members, although Grouper may not be used to maintain Teams group. Type the group ID without ":uc" in the box labeled Add. The colon (:) in Grouper turns into an underscore (_) in Teams.
Why can't I log on to Teams?
First, try removing all ad blockers and any other "do not track" add-ons in your browser. If you are using the desktop or mobile client and cannot log in, please contact IT Services.
How do I restore a file?
From the Files tab in your Teams group, select Open in SharePoint. Once you're in SharePoint, you can then look for the file in the Recycle Bin and restore it.
