The latest changes to Microsoft Teams provide a new strealined layout bringing teams Chat and Channels together in one place
Rather than navigate from Chat to Channels you can access everything from one quick launch pane and even create groups of related discussions
In this article we’ll look at the changes, how to switch between the two and how to customise the new layout into related groups
It’s always easier to contact us via email rather than phone. We’re out training most days of the week
Previously you would access Teams and Chat from seperate icons in the Teams quick launch pane
Now all your Chats and Channel posts can be accessed from Chat, the Teams link has been removed
You can easily switch from the new Microsoft Teams streamlined view back to the original view by selecting the ellipses and Customse view in Chat
You then have the option to switch between Combined and Separate
Sections can now be created in Microsoft Teams to bring together conversations in Chat and Channels
To create a New section, go to the Ellipses and select New Section
Once you have named the section it will appear in Chat
To Add a Channel to the Section go to the Channel ellipses and select show in selecting the appropriate section
To add a conversation in chat to a section, locate the indiviual or group in Chat, select the ellipses and move to and select the appropriate section
You can now see channels and chats in the same section and filter for either using the links at the top of the pane
