I have an issue with Microsoft Teams where it just keeps loading, and I can't access the assignments.

Question

As you can see in the picture, there are dates on the assignments I can access normally and dates for assignments I can’t access. I've already tried all possible solutions, such as clearing data, logging out and back in, and more. My issue is that I can’t access any activities posted before I joined the team, but I can access activities posted after I became a member. Could it be that I need to be manually added to those assignments by someone who has access?

Dear Ben David B. Senin, 

Good day.

After thorough research and consulting, it’s been concluded that the assignments posted before you joined the team not automatically shared with you. It is expected behavior to access activities that were posted after you became a member of the team however to have access to the assignment you need to have permission to the assignment. You need to ask

Create an assignment in Microsoft Teams for Education and assign it to individual or small groups of students in a class. Groups turn in one copy of the assignment that can be graded separately or together. Reference: Create group assignments or assign to individual students - Microsoft Support

Reach out to the owner of the team or the person who posted the assignments. They might need to manually grant you access to the older assignments or to assignments.

Thank you very much for your response. In reply to your note, I tested it on both web and application platforms to confirm that the issue lies with Microsoft Teams and not on my end.
