Why is my MS Planner not showing on my display?

Your MS Planner board has stopped showing, or the tasks aren't updating on your display? This guide walks you through the most common causes — from connection errors to plan selection issues — so you can get your tasks back on screen.

Before You Start

Ask yourself:

• Has this MS Planner board ever worked on screen?

• Is the screen showing nothing, or is the content just not updating?

Your answer determines where to start — use the steps below if the Planner board has previously worked, or jump to the Never Worked section at the bottom.


Step 1 — Check for Notification Errors

  1. Open the MS Planner app and go to the Information tab

  2. Look at these two fields for error messages:

  • Outstanding source reports

  • Latest notification from the source

These notifications help point you in the right direction for troubleshooting.


Step 2 — Check the Source Status

  1. Go to the app's Source tab

  2. Check the Source is pushing data field:

  3. Also verify:

    • Latest content timestamp matches when your Plan was last updated. A slight sync delay is normal — Planner refreshes about every 5 minutes.

    • Current data shows the tasks you expect — including bucket names, due dates, and assigned team members.


Step 3 — Check Filters and Settings in Configuration

Go to the Configuration tab and click Show Advanced

Show Advanced button

  1. Review all active filters and settings, such as 'Group tasks by' and Use all buckets

  2. Remove or update any filters that may be excluding all tasks

• Note: images and avatars are not supported, and MS Planner is not supported on Samsung Tizen 6.5 displays.


Step 4 — Verify the Correct Plan Is Selected

The link to your plan can break if it was renamed, moved to another Microsoft group, or deleted.

  1. Go to the Configuration tab

  2. Reselect the correct Microsoft group and Plan from the drop-down menus

  3. If needed, review your bucket selection under Use all buckets

You can only do this for apps you own. Check the app owner under the Information tab.
