Here’s an unvarnished truth: if you’re still clicking around Teams like it’s 2010, you’re wasting time. Stop complaining and learn these three hacks your future self will thank you.
NOTE: No, I’m not becoming a Microsoft Teams blogger, it’s just these along with a few other prospective features can help when stuck dealing with Microsoft Teams. Since I have to be tortured with such an app, I’m just offering this meager help via blog entries. Otherwise, you can rest assured I’ll be back to regularly scheduled software development and related technical topics very soon!
1 >> Stop Clicking >> Use Slash Commands & Keyboard Shortcuts
- What to do: Hit Ctrl + E (Win) or ⌘ + E (Mac) to jump to the command bar (yeah, there’s a command line, also see docs), then type
/and a command:/dndto set Do Not Disturb/call [name]to ring someone immediately/filesto see your recent docs
- Plus: Memorize the basics:
- Ctrl + Shift + M to mute/unmute
- Ctrl + Shift + O to toggle your camera
- Ctrl + N to start a new chat
- Why it matters: Teams is famously sluggish, stop letting the UI slow you down. If you can’t spare ten minutes to learn these, fine then keep clicking.
