On July 18, 2025, starting at 10:00 PM Central European Time, Teams Q&A will undergo scheduled maintenance and will be unavailable for approximately 4 hours. Please plan accordingly.
[When this will happen:]
Starting July 18, 2025
Ending July 19, 2025
[How this will affect you organization:]
During the maintenance window, Teams Q&A will be in read only mode.
- Users can view the Q&A from prior meetings, but not be able to post new questions, edit or react to messages.
- Meeting organizers will temporarily be unable to enable Q&A for new Teams meetings directly from the Meeting Options. If they attempt to do so, the Q&A panel will display a message stating, “Q&A is not successfully enabled for this event. Turn it on from Meeting Options.” To resolve this, organizers should re-enable Q&A from the Meeting Options once the relocation window is complete.
The read-only mode is expected to last for about 4 hours, after which, Q&A will be reinstated.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
- Please inform your users that there is a planned maintenance that will keep Q&A in read-only for 4 hours on July 18, 2025, starting at 10:00 PM Central European Time.
