FIX: Can't load images in Microsoft Teams chat

Microsoft Teams is a unified communications platform that integrated with a company’s Office 365 subscription office productivity suite.

Microsoft Teams provides persistent workplace chat, video meetings, file storage, and application integration.

In other words, Microsoft Teams is Microsoft‘s version of a collaboration tool.

Of course, chatting also involves sending and receiving images, and some users have reported that they are having issues seeing the images in Microsoft Teams

I have quite a lot of conversations in Teams Channel that are sent via mobile devices, which allows photo to be attached. Apparently there’s a change in Teams now that the attached photos disappeared and unable to load it from the desktop client.

3. Try to send images from the desktop client

Many users observed that most of the problems arise when the images in question were sent from mobile devices.

Pictures posted from the mobile app disappear in approximately one week. So far everyone having this issue is using an iPhone. It’s a small sample size but so far Android users don’t seem to have the issue.

As such, try to send images using the Microsoft Teams desktop client whenever possible.

You can download it for free or part of the Office 365 Suite.

Do your images fail to load on Microsoft teams as well, or do you know any solution we may have missed?
