Instructions
To set up a chat, phone, or video meeting with one person in MS Teams, do the following:
- Log on to Office 365.
- Select the Teams icon.
Note: if you have not opened Teams before, you may need to go to All Apps to find the Teams icon.
- In Teams, select the Chat button on the left side of the page.
- Select the person you want to chat with.
Note: If the person you want to chat with is not showing in your recent chats or contacts, select the New chat button next to the Search or type a command field at the top of the page and type in the name of the person you want to communicate with.
- To chat with the person, type a new message in the field.
- To call or video chat with someone, select the phone or video buttons in the top right corner of the chat window. It's a good idea to chat with the person first before placing a call or video to make sure they can accept the call/video.
- Wait for the person to pick up the call.
Note: if there is more than one person in the chat you select, each person will be contacted to take part in the video conversation.
