Module 4: Chat Tab

Microsoft Teams chat is a feature of Microsoft Teams that allows users to have real-time conversations with one another. Chats can be one-on-one or group chats, and they can be used for anything from quick questions to lengthy discussions.

You can start a chat by clicking on the "Chat" icon in the left-hand navigation pane.

When you start a chat, you can either type a message or start a voice or video call. You can also add files to your chat, such as documents, images, or videos.

You can create a new conversation by selecting the New Chat option at the top of the left navigation pane.

Once you send a message, it will appear in the chat window for the other person to see. They can then reply to your message, or they can start a new conversation.

You can type your message directly into the chat box at the bottom of the chat window.
