Microsoft Teams More Tips - Channels, and Meetings

 

This time I will continue with Channels then I will speak about Meetings


Separating Conversations

If we have a team that working on different topics then it will be better to have our channels based on different topics such as the following pic


Channel Naming Tips

-Don't use "conversations" or "discussions" in your channel names; such as use 'Planning" instead of using "Planning Discussions".
-Use numbers only to control the order in which the channels appear to users; by default, the general channel appears first and the other channels will appear alphabetically to go around that we can use numbers.
-Acronyms; doesn't use them unless it is widely understood and standardized in the organization.

Microsoft Teams More Tips - Channels

This time I am focusing on Channels  


Bookmarks in Microsoft Teams Channels

Bookmarks are a useful tool in MS Teams channels as they allow us to save a message or a place in a conversation for future needs. To bookmark a conversation, just click the bookmark icon. To access the bookmark, you click on your profile and select "Saved" or type the slash command shortcut '/saved' into the command bar

@Mentions in Microsoft Teams Channels

When we use the mention @team in a channel, all team members get notified, as well when using @Channel each team member who follows that channel will be notified. We also can mention the members of the channel by @mentioning them.

Marking as 'Unread' in Microsoft Teams Channels

If we want to remember a conversation, it is nice to mark it as 'unread', we mark it 'unread' as follows; Go to the top of the message and select 'more options' => 'Mark Unread'.

Do Not Disturb for Microsoft Teams Channels

When we want to stop the notifications from Microsoft Teams channels. It is done by changing the status to 'Do not Disturb'. To set the status to 'Do not Disturb', type in the command bar '/dnd'.

Translation in Microsoft Teams Channels

We can translate messages from a language to another in MS Teams. To do that click the "..." on the top right side and select 'translate' in the menu that pops up. The message will be translated into the preferred language. we can use the same menu to revert the message to its original language.

Microsoft Teams Tips and Tricks

This is some tips and tricks for Microsoft Teams 

Teams Keyboard Shortcuts 

Keyboard shortcuts can help increase your efficiency while working with most software and MS Teams is no exception.

Teams has a lot of very useful keyboard shortcuts, but the first one you should learn is Ctrl + . which will open up a list of all the available keyboard shortcuts in MS Teams.

Search Bar Commands

The search bar at the top of Teams is also a command bar. You can perform a lot of actions using the / commands from here, you can use the Ctrl + / command to move the focus to the search bar and list out all the available commands.

Urgent Chat Message

If you need to ensure someone sees your message in Teams, you can send an urgent message.


From inside any chat click on the exclamation icon to select Urgent from the message status options. This will notify them of the new message every 2 minutes for the next 20 minutes.

Activity Center And Filters

To stay up to date with all your Teams activity is to use the activity center, which will show you a timeline feed of all your activity and notifications.


You can then search your activity feed by text search or filter on it to show only certain types of activity like reactions or mentions etc…

Go to the Activity center in the left navigation pane then click on the Filter icon. You can either Type to filter or click the three dots to filter by type of activity.
