I´m able to create Custom Summary templates on MS teams. I can preview the results. I save and apply and when I try to execute i get this: We couldn't load custom AI summary. Something went wrong. Try again. If I edit my Custom Summary template, I do not see anything under: Describe your summary format. It seems MS Teams is not saving the prompt. Could you please help?

    Same problem for several users on our side also, since yesterday.

    Works fine in Teams online. Notihing has changed after a Teams clear cache.

    Hi Julio,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Based on your description, after saving and applying the template, you tried to use it but received the following error message:

    “We couldn't load the custom AI summary. Something went wrong. Please try again.”

    In this case, please check and try the following steps:

    1. Check whether the issue continues to occur when you use Teams on the web.
    2. Try clearing the Teams cache.

    You can refer to the following article for instructions on how to clear the cache in New Teams:

    Clear the Teams client cache - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn

    If the two steps above do not resolve the issue, I recommend contacting Microsoft Technical Support so that they can investigate the issue further.

    To create a support request with the technical support team, you can refer to the following article:

     Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn

    I hope this information is helpful.

    If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel free to share them in the comments on this post so I can continue to support you.

    I look forward to continuing the conversation.

    We've had similar issues with custom summaries in recap and used the clear cache instructions shared, seems to be working for us now. Interim measure was to login to teams in the browser to access them.

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I checked and the issue does not continue to occur when you use Teams on the web. Should I try to clear cache now? Will I lose all my chats if I do that?
