4 Microsoft Teams Hacks you never knew about

With many working with Microsoft Teams daily, the hidden features might pass you by. It's almost as if Microsoft predicted the current pandemic and developed an app specifically for when many businesses would be working from home.

Chat with guests

Many use Microsoft Teams as a chat platform inside the organization, but you can message anyone on Microsoft Teams that have an Office 365 account. Customers, suppliers, vendors, and prospects - if they are using Teams then you can speak with them directly.

Allow Guests to access your Team

If you don't know about this feature, then it's worth noting. Guests can be added to a Team - if you are working with a freelancer or temporary hire, you can add them into a Microsoft Team with the single click of a button.

Keyboard Shortcuts

The search bar at the top or chat area allows you to enter keyboard shortcuts that will speed up how you navigate around Teams.

Background Effects

You can blur your background or choose a virtual background for video calls - perfect for hiding a messy home office!
