Start a Chat With Microsoft Teams
After logging in to Microsoft Teams, you can chat directly with a colleague to get a quick question answered without sending an email and waiting for a response.
Click the Chat icon on the left side menu
Start a new chat by clicking the pencil icon in the upper right corner.
You can also continue an existing chat by clicking on the recent conversations.
In the To: box at the top, start typing the name of whom you wish to chat with, just as you would if you were sending an email. Select their name from the list that appears below.
Add as many names as you wish to include in the conversation.
Type your message in the box to begin chatting!
If you wish to add others to the chat later, just click the Add People icon in the upper right corner.
