Why do I have to login when viewing the Reminders tab for the first time?​

All tabs are public websites embedded into Teams. Without authentication it might be possible for malicious actors to view or manipulate your data. Even though the exact URL of your tab might be impossible to guess, it is still a public website. This is why Microsoft recommends protecting tabs with Microsoft single sign-on (SSO) authentication. During the first authentication with Remind, Teams will display this standardized SSO popup:

Consent to share your user details with Remind

You only need to consent once and will not be asked again.

I am unable to log into the Reminders tab, I require permission​

Your admin has blocked third party apps (such as Remind) from accessing the user information that is required to log you into the tab. Please contact them and ask them to allow Remind.

Contact your admin to ask for permission to use Remind

How do I set a reminder for other users?​

Please add the Reminders tab to the conversation.

I changed the time zone on my device and when I type a reminder now the time is wrong.​

This is a long standing issue with the Teams client. After the device's time zone has been changed the bot still receives the old time zone, which causes this issue. The workaround is to restart the Teams client. Really sorry for the inconvenience 🙏

I have set a reminder on a message but never received it.​

Please make sure to unblock the bot.

I don't receive notifications for my reminders​

Teams offers every user a myriad of options to control which notifications they receive. Please check out Microsoft's extensive Teams notification tutorial.

I don't get a reminder popup notification while I'm on a call in Teams.​

Whether Teams shows a notification popup during meetings depends on your notification settings (see above). You can add Remind to the list of priority access users in your Teams settings: Settings -> Privacy.
