Organization with Folders for Chats and Meetings in Teams
One of the main challenges when using Microsoft Teams is keeping chats and meetings organized, especially when working with multiple teams and projects. With the new folder functionality, this is now a thing of the past.
How does it work?
- Right‑click on any chat, meeting, or group.
- Select the “Move to” option and create a new custom folder.
- Name the folder and group your conversations efficiently.
Key benefits:
- Improves the organization and retrieval of important chats.
- Reduces time wasted searching for specific conversations.
Advanced Filters in Teams Chat
Microsoft Teams now allows you to filter your messages more precisely with a new button panel in the Chats section. This is ideal for anyone who manages a high volume of daily messages.
What can you filter in Teams?
- Unread messages.
- Direct mentions.
- Priority notifications.
- Meeting chats or reactivated activities.
Benefits for your company:
- Find relevant information much faster.
- Prioritize critical tasks and conversations without distractions.
Discover Conversations with the New Centralized View in Teams
The “Discover” feature offers you a centralized way to manage conversations across all your teams. This functionality is designed for those who work across multiple projects or teams.
How to use “Discover”:
- Go to the Teams section and enable the “Discover” option.
- View all your teams’ conversations and activities on a single screen.
Impact on productivity:
- Avoid jumping between multiple teams to find key information.
- Keep a constant and organized overview of your projects.
Unified Calendars: Outlook and Teams in a Single View
