Using a text chat

Starting a new conversation with a new person

We launch Microsoft Teams on the computer.

We select the Chat option and then place the mouse cursor in the Search field.

In this field, we start typing the first or last name of the person we want to chat with.

Searching an employee

After selecting a person, a separate conversation window will open.

The Type a new message field allows communication with specific people.

After typing the text, you can click Send or press Enter to send the message.
There are also tools available to format the text before sending, attach files, set the message priority, etc. When you hover over each icon, a tooltip with information about its functionality will appear.

Replying to a Conversation

All conversations in the channel are organized by date and assigned to threads. Responses within threads are placed under the original message, making it easier to follow multiple conversations. To reply to a specific conversation, hover over it with the cursor, then click on the three dots and select the Reply option.

After writing the answer we send it by clicking Send or clicking Enter.
