titleHow to keep conversations in organised threads? 
  • An important trick in an MS Teams chat is to reply to a conversation in the same thread instead of starting a new conversation: 
    • Use the Reply field in the conversation.
    • Do not reply by writing to the field Start a new conversation.

titleHow can I make sure my

MS Teams
MS Teams groups? 
  • If you belong to many teams, it may be rather difficult to keep an eye on all discussions in all groups. 
  • If you want to get the attention of a group, channel or person, use the @mention. 
  • Then the mentioned person will receive an active notification - a red alert in the Activity and/or Teams and/or Chat menu.
  • A person who does not actively use MS Teams (for instance, an external guest) also receives the notification by e-mail.
  • If you have switched on the notifications of a channel, you will also be notified if you are not @mentioned. 
    • By default, notifications of new messages in groups are switched off in MS Teams. 
    • See Creating a team workspace in MS Teams (turn on notifications on new group messages in MS Teams).

titleHow to manage work assignments in MS Teams? 
  • An MS Teams chat is not the best option for sending work assignments and requests to others. 
    • Since the main focus of MS Teams is conversations, it is not easy for people to take on assignments from there.
  • The MS Teams menu Assignments is meant for teaching activities and is not suitable for managing a team’s work assignments in general.
  • A more convenient tool for joint management of work assignments is the Planner that can be added to an MS Teams workgroup as a module.

titleWhy don’t I get notifications about new posts in Teams groups?
 
  • By default, notifications are disabled in Teams groups. Generally, it is reasonable to turn them on.  
  • It is important to use the @ mark before a member’s or team’s name in messages to call their attention: @name, @channel, @team. This way the person or the group will get a notification.
