Teams (beta)

What you'll do

Message the people in your Cloud directly: one person, a whole team, or yourself. Ask Brie, the AI, into the conversation when you want it.

Step-by-step

1. Turn on Beta Features in Settings → General, if it isn't on already.
2. Select Teams in the bar on the far left of the app.
3. Select Start a Chat.
4. Pick one person for a direct message, or several for a team of up to 100 people in your Cloud.
5. Select Start Chat. For a team, enter a Team Name and select Create Team instead.
6. Write your message and send it.

The Teams home page greets you with what's new and your recent chats and people, and offers a short tour of Teams. You can replay the tour anytime from the home page.

Working in a chat

• Ask Brie. Type @Brie in a message and the AI answers in the thread, for everyone in the chat to see. Apps and connectors are available there too.
• React, reply and edit. React with an emoji, reply with the original message quoted, and edit or delete your own messages.
• Share files. Share files and screenshots in the conversation.
• Keep notes. You also have a private chat with yourself, for notes.

Staying on top of it

• An unread count shows on the Teams icon.
• The Teams list has an Unread filter, and you can pin chats to keep them at the top.
• You get a notification when someone messages you, mentions you, replies, or reacts.
• Mute a chat and you still hear about mentions.

In the desktop app, Teams messages also show as system notifications, with an unread count on the dock or taskbar icon.

Leaving a team

Open the team's settings and choose Leave Team. If you own the team, choose who takes over before you leave. Once you leave, you no longer see the chat or receive its messages. If you are the only member, leaving deletes the team.
