Hello, we are wondering if deleted messages in a chat in teams can be retrieved. Maw are messages received from others but also deleted by the other person logged somewhere?
we wonder if a complete chat history can be fully retrieved by the ict log? Surely the licensee must also keep logs?
Hello! Is it possible to find out who deleted a team? Of course it must be the owner of the team but how can I find the owner who deleted the team if a team has a couple of owners?
Hi Harald! should be possible with these instructions. But you had to turn on audit logs upfront. It's most of the time not enabled. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/audit-log-events
Hi Jasper,
I accidentally deleted a team. Using Outlook, I managed to restore the Outlook group as well as its SharePoint space. I followed your steps and noticed that it is not in Azure's list of deleted groups. However, the Teams team is nowhere to be found. Every time I try to open it by clicking on the team's link in either Azure or Outlook, Teams displays a message that it is unable to open the group due to a connectivity error. Do you have any suggestions?
Hello Ricardo!!! No real suggestions here... I would raise a support ticket towards Microsoft to be sure not to harm the restoration process in any way....
Good Day,
I did not know Azure and also see that I do not have access. Is it also possible to retrieve a team without Azure?
Hi Linda!!! Every Office 365 environment has an azure panel. Only the administrator can restore teams . Are you an administrator?
