Getting Started with Teams Meetings

Getting Started with Teams Meetings

Meetings are an essential place where work happens in Microsoft Teams — whether you're engaging an important client or catching up on a group discussion.

There are three parts to a Teams meeting:

• Before: When you create and send out an invite.
• During: When everyone meets.
• After: When people share recaps and action items.

Try it!

Here are the basics of how to get started with meetings in Teams.

During a meeting

Explore how to interact with others in a meeting:

• Avoid the frustration of speaking over other people and select Raise your hand to share your thoughts.
• Add your questions to the meeting chat to avoid interrupting a speaker.
• Select React and choose a reaction to express how you feel in real-time.

• Select Share to show a presentation, a window, or your entire screen.

After a meeting

Re-visit documents and follow-up with people after the meeting's done:

• Go to your calendar invite to view shared files, the meeting recording, or transcript.
• Share notes or action items with your team.
