More Chat Options

To access more chat options, locate the conversation in the chat list, hover over it with your mouse, and click on the three dots (…):

1.  Open the conversation in a separate window.

2.  Mark the conversation as unread if you want to read it later. If the conversation is already in unread mode, this option becomes Mark as read.

3.  Pin a chat if you need it always to be in front of you. The conversation is moved then to the “Pinned” conversations group:

You can unpin a conversation, by clicking on the 3-dot menu (…) (More options) to its right, and then by selecting the Unpin option.

4.    Muting a conversation means that you will stop receiving any alerts or emails from this conversation. The conversation’s icon is then replaced by a grey circle with a bell and a ligne through in the middle:

To turn on notifications again, click on the 3-dot menu (…) (More options) and select Unmute.

5.  If a chat is no longer needed, you can hide it, to clean up your chat list. You cannot hide a pinned conversation; you have to unpin it first.

    To unhide a conversation, you have to search for it first, using the search box. Microsoft Teams will bring it back into the chat list, where you can use the Unhide option from the 3-dot menu (…).

6.    Manage the apps that you can use as a tab in your chat. More is coming about apps and tabs, in the following sections.

7.    If you decide for any reason to leave a group chat, this option is for you. When you leave a chat, you can no longer send messages, of course, but you will still have access to the conversation history. A message is posted in the chat, informing the other members that you have left the chat group. If, for any other reason, you want to re-enter the group, someone must re-invite you.
