FAQ

Health Teams have been migrated to the UC San Diego Heath O365 tenant.
Login to the Health tenant with your @health.ucsd.edu.
If you are a member of a Campus Team:
Login to the Campus tenant with your @health.ucsd account.
Only if you belong to a Team whose Owner is on the Campus tenant.
Now that you've been migrated from Campus, you must switch to the Campus tenant and login with your @health.ucsd.edu account.
The M365 Migration Admin User is an Account that is only used by the migration tool to migrate your Chat history from the Campus tenant. Once completed the migration tool will remove the Admin from the chat.
While the desktop version of Microsoft Teams doesn't support the management Teams in different tenants, you can use this workaround to manage multiple Teams accounts:
- Open your Microsoft Teams desktop on the tenant you will spend most of your time in.
- Open a browser and go to Microsoft Teams (https://teams.microsoft.com) for the tenant you spend the next amount of time in.
-
Login with your @health.ucsd.edu email and select the tenant
External access is defined as “a way for Teams users from an entire external domain to find, call, chat, and set up meetings with you in Teams.” This means that if you work for Company “A” who uses Teams, and a colleague from Company “B” grants you external access to their Teams tenant, you can switch seamlessly between the two within the Teams app to communicate with that colleague. However,
external users have no access to your organization’s teams, channels, or team resources such as files, plans, wiki tab, etc.
Guest access lets you add individual users from outside your company to your teams and channels in Microsoft Teams. Anyone with a business or consumer email account, such as
Outlook, Gmail, or others, can participate as a Teams guest with full access to team chats, meetings, and files.
A Teams admin can control which features guests can (and can’t) use in Teams, such as delete or edit messages, use memes, stickers or Giphy in conversation, and so on. Check out
management options for Microsoft Teams guests.
See the most important differences between the Microsoft Teams guest and external access in the table below, or find the
comparison list of all features on Microsoft’s page.
You are able to add external participants to group chats like any other tenant or guest account. To add an external person, enter their email address as a participant and then use the Search externally option (Figure 2). Teams checks the external access domain list to discover if federated chat is allowed with the participant’s domain, and if it is, looks up Azure AD to find their account. If the account exists, Teams adds it to the chat.
Figure 2: Searching for an external participant to join a group chat
As shown in Figure 3, once a group chat has an external participant, Teams displays a prominent External label to advise everyone that they shouldn’t discuss company confidential information (unless it’s appropriate to share the information with an external person). External participants are also marked as such in the participant roster.

Regarding your issue, please check below suggestion, if it helps to resolve your issue.
A. Check and Remove Outlook invites with Out of Office status
If someone sends you a calendar invite with date ranges from today till future with Out of Office selected, or if you create future Out of Office appointments, then Teams is somehow changing the status as well.
The easiest fix is to check if there is any invitation mentioned as Out of Office. If you find such an invitation, then remove it from your calendar and check the result. If not, check out the next solutions.
B. Turn on/off Don’t send automatic replies
-
Go to Outlook Web App.
-
Click the gear button.
-
Choose Mail> Automatic processing> Automatic replies
-
Now, tick the option that says Don’t send automatic replies.
-
If the issue persists, then remove it and check if it works.
-
If you have no Out of Office events in your calendar, you could try to apply the above procedure instead.
C. Change your Status Message in Teams
-
Go to your profile at the top of Teams.
-
Click Set status message.
-
Then, type the message that you want to show to other people in the box.
-
Click Done and you’re all set. Teams will refresh.
-
You may now delete the message.
D. Clear Teams cache:
-
Fully exit the Microsoft Teams desktop client. To do this, either right click Teams from the Icon Tray and select ‘Quit’, or run Task Manager and fully kill the process.
-
Go to File Explorer, and type in %appdata%\Microsoft\teams.
-
Once in the directory, you’ll see a few of the following folders:
-
From within ‘Application Cache’, go to Cache and delete any of the files in the Cache location.: %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\application cache\cache
-
From within ‘Blob_storage’, delete any files that are located in here if any.: %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\blob_storage
-
From within ‘Cache’, delete all files.: %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Cache
-
From within ‘databases’, delete all files.: %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\databases
-
From within ‘GPUCache’, delete all files.: %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\GPUcache
-
From within ‘IndexedDB’, delete the .db file.: %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\IndexedDB
-
From within ‘Local Storage’, delete all files. : %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\Local Storage
-
Lastly, from within ‘tmp’, delete any file. : %appdata%\Microsoft\teams\tmp
Once finally done clearing, you can now restart Teams from your local desktop and all cache will be cleared from the desktop app.
