Do you want a faster and more efficient way to navigate MS Teams, for example to let your colleagues know your status on Teams or send a message? DigiTip 51 can show you quick commands to do just this. For this DigiTip we will be using the forward slash commands in the search bar on Teams.
- First open MS Teams.
- Next, we will need to access the search bar at the top, this can either be done by pressing ctrl + e or by just clicking in the search area at the top.
- Then if you press / you will receive all commands available to you to use.
- After you have chosen the command you want to use you just have to press enter.
- An example of one of these would be /busy which is a faster way of setting your status to busy.
- Another example, /chat will give you a follow up option of selecting who you want to send the message to and what you want the message to be, all in the search bar.
