If you\u2019re using a laptop or desktop computer, make sure that the built-in mic is working and hasn&#8217;t been muted. If it has been muted, simply click \u201cUnmute\u201d under the volume control window on the taskbar to turn it back on again.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your camera is working (if you&#8217;re using one). This applies if you&#8217;re using Microsoft Teams for video calling or recording meetings with other attendees.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify that your video connection is active, and adjust your camera settings as necessary (for example, zoom in\/out) so everyone can see who they need to see during meetings\u2014especially if there are people in different locations around the world who are joining through different platforms such as Facebook Messenger or Skype for Business.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t: Forget to Check-in Regularly<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t forget to check in regularly. You may be a remote worker, but you&#8217;re still part of a team. Check-ins are an important way for team members to know what is going on with their work and their colleagues, so keep these in mind at all times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check-ins can be done individually or together as a group\u2014it&#8217;s up to you! Whether you want to share your updates in a channel or take advantage of the private chat feature by sending messages directly to coworkers, it all depends on what works best for you and your team.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Share What You&#8217;re Working On<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One Microsoft etiquette guideline is that you should share what you&#8217;re working on. It can be a document, a screenshot, a file, a video, or a web page link.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Follow the One-Conversation-Per-Message Rule<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to get the most out of the team, you need to make sure you&#8217;re only communicating about one topic at a time. By keeping your messages separate, you allow others in the channel to have their say and then move on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-197571 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-fauxels-3183150-min.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft teams\" width=\"950\" height=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-fauxels-3183150-min.jpg 950w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-fauxels-3183150-min-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-fauxels-3183150-min-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-fauxels-3183150-min-100x53.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/pexels-fauxels-3183150-min-700x368.jpg 700w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Keep Texts Short and Sweet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s a good idea to keep your team&#8217;s channels from becoming walls of text as per Microsoft Teams etiquette guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s not just about keeping things tidy\u2014it&#8217;s also about helping your teammates be as efficient as possible. If they have to scroll through a bunch of text to find the information they&#8217;re looking for, they&#8217;re going to lose time and energy that could be better spent on other projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Use Out-of-Office Replies<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re out of the office, it can be tempting to just turn off your notifications and leave your teammates in the dark. But that\u2019s not a great idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, we recommend using <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/out-of-office-outlook\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=in-line&amp;utm_term=microsoft-teams-etiquette-guidelines\">out-of-office replies<\/a><\/strong> when you&#8217;re away from work. This gives your colleagues all the information they need to know if they can reach you or not, and helps them plan their day accordingly. In addition, when you use a standard out-of-office message, it&#8217;s easier for your coworkers to get in touch with each other should they need something while you&#8217;re away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve also found that users who don&#8217;t use out-of-office messages are more likely to miss important messages when they return from vacation than those who do (because all their coworkers have been on top of things).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Using an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/solutions\/teams-central\/?utm_source=ms-teams-etiquette&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=in-line\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MS Teams first application like AttendanceBot<\/a> <\/strong>empowers your team to manage time off, timesheets, and WFO right in MS Teams.<a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/customer-success-harmonize\/attendancebot-demo?utm_source=blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-198123\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AttendanceBot-MS-Teams-Notifications.png\" alt=\"AttendanceBot MS Teams Notifications\" width=\"997\" height=\"656\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AttendanceBot-MS-Teams-Notifications.png 997w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AttendanceBot-MS-Teams-Notifications-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AttendanceBot-MS-Teams-Notifications-768x505.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AttendanceBot-MS-Teams-Notifications-100x66.png 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AttendanceBot-MS-Teams-Notifications-684x450.png 684w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>AttendanceBot allows your entire team to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay in sync with your colleagues with daily and weekly announcements showing everyone&#8217;s time off right inside MS Teams<\/li>\n<li>Manage their own time and time off without invasive activity monitoring<\/li>\n<li>Quickly clock in, track project time, and request, approve, accrue, and manage PTO or WFO with a single keystroke<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Focus on your business and let AttendanceBot empower your team to manage their own time off and hybrid work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/customer-success-harmonize\/attendancebot-demo?utm_source=blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Explore AttendanceBot and find out how it can help your business with a quick demo.<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t: Interrupt Someone if They are in a Meeting<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an employee is in a meeting, it&#8217;s best to not interrupt them in the middle of it. Avoid messaging them about anything that isn&#8217;t urgent unless the employee asks for help with something (like when all other options have been exhausted).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t: Invite Someone Who Shouldn\u2019t be There<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Microsoft Teams etiquette guidelines you should not invite your whole team to a meeting if they don&#8217;t need to be there. It&#8217;s best to set up a meeting with an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/open-door-policy\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=in-line&amp;utm_term=microsoft-teams-etiquette-guidelines\">open-door policy<\/a> <\/strong>or hold an ad-hoc meeting where only the people who need to be there are invited. If you have a large team and want everyone included, it&#8217;s best to hold separate regular meetings where everyone is invited and allowed to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Use the Right Reaction Emoji<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emojis are a great way to convey emotion and meaning in a more subtle, less formal manner. For example, if you want to say &#8220;that was a great meeting!&#8221; but don&#8217;t feel like writing out the words with exclamation points, emojis are a good way to get your point across. Or if someone is doing something they shouldn&#8217;t be doing&#8211;like eating in the office kitchen area&#8211;a thumbs-down emoji can let them know that it&#8217;s not okay without having to say anything negative about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emojis are also useful for creating an environment of empathy on your hybrid team: when someone doesn&#8217;t understand why another person is making a certain decision or doing something in a particular way, an emoji can help explain why without being confrontational or offensive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emojis don&#8217;t always have to be used for positive things either; they can also convey sarcasm or irony (e.g., using thumbs up when someone does something wrong). However, it&#8217;s important that everyone agrees ahead of time on what each symbol means so no one misunderstands what you&#8217;re trying to say!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Real-World Examples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emojis are great for getting your message across without having to use a ton of words. And they can help you get more done, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re just replying &#8220;okay&#8221; to someone&#8217;s message, try using an emoji instead. Not only is it faster and easier, but it also helps you avoid the all-too-common problem of sending a long string of text when all you really needed was a simple &#8220;yes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s not just about saving time\u2014emojis can save money, too! If your team is responding to tickets, emojis can let the customer know where their ticket is in the process. Just use different emojis to show what stage your team is at: for example, an emoji with sunglasses might mean &#8220;working on this,&#8221; while an emoji with ears means &#8220;we&#8217;ve heard from other people who have had similar complaints.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Use Threads<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Teams etiquette guidelines say to use threads to maintain productivity and cleanliness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that sometimes it&#8217;s hard to keep up with all the different conversations happening in your team, but we&#8217;ve found that using threads can help make things more organized and easier to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a thread helps keep everyone on the same page, which means you won&#8217;t have to worry about missing out on important information or being left out of the loop. It also makes it easier for everyone in the group to respond quickly when someone posts something new, so if you want to get a fast answer from someone, use a thread!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-196106\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Microsoft-Teams-Time-Tracking-Featured-Image.jpg\" alt=\"Microsoft Teams \" width=\"950\" height=\"500\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Microsoft-Teams-Time-Tracking-Featured-Image.jpg 950w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Microsoft-Teams-Time-Tracking-Featured-Image-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Microsoft-Teams-Time-Tracking-Featured-Image-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Microsoft-Teams-Time-Tracking-Featured-Image-100x53.jpg 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Microsoft-Teams-Time-Tracking-Featured-Image-700x368.jpg 700w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t: Get Caught in an Endless Group Chat<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all have a tendency to hang out in chat rooms, but you should only use them for short conversations or questions. If you need to have a longer conversation, send an email. Your colleagues can respond when it&#8217;s convenient for them. And if the discussion gets derailed and goes on too long, don\u2019t worry! Just wait until the next day before sending another message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking for a place to ask your question:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a) Don&#8217;t start typing it out in the main channel where everyone is focused on their work (e.g., the general channel). Instead, click on \u201cNew Channel\u201d under Team Settings and create one specifically for asking questions about using Microsoft Teams\u2014because we all know how annoying it is when someone interrupts our important tasks with idle chatter!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b) Write down the question so others don&#8217;t feel like they need to answer right away; then post it into this new channel once it has been created (and let everyone know where they can find this new resource).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes if someone responds\u2014you don&#8217;t want their response getting lost among other team members&#8217; responses; instead, move that conversation over into its own separate group chat area where only those who are interested will see what&#8217;s being said (and not everyone else!). You might also consider creating additional subgroups within these channels so there&#8217;s less clutter overall\u2014this way teammates won&#8217;t see everything unless they want to!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Have an Agenda and Stay on Topic<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is no agenda, your colleagues will quickly become confused about what they&#8217;re supposed to talk about or do at the meeting. The agenda should also be shared before the meeting starts so that all participants can prepare for what they&#8217;ll need to say or do during the meeting. In addition, once the meeting begins, stay on topic\u2014don&#8217;t get distracted by side conversations that go off-topic unless they&#8217;re related to what&#8217;s being discussed in the chat room at that moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do: Respect Your Coworkers\u2019 Availability Status<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a Microsoft Teams etiquette guideline that if your coworker&#8217;s availability status is set to unavailable, you shouldn\u2019t text them. They could be in the middle of something important and your message will only cause distraction. Similarly, don&#8217;t forget to set your own availability status too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Your Team&#8217;s Assigned Channel to Ask Questions and Brainstorm Ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Teams, you have a separate channel for each of your teams. The name of the channel can be based on your team name and\/or location (for example, &#8220;Seattle Dev Team&#8221;).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use this channel to ask questions and brainstorm ideas related to specific topics. For example, if you&#8217;re working on an upcoming project, you can post questions about what needs to get done or who is working on which project tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It will help everyone be more efficient, more productive, and make better use of their time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/blog\/microsoft-teams-time-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Teams<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great way to communicate and connect with your team members, but it\u2019s also important to follow some etiquette guidelines for hybrid teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These Microsoft Teams guidelines will help everyone be more efficient, and productive while making better use of their time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attendancebot.com\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_term=microsoft-teams-etiquette-guidelines&amp;utm_content=final\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-197692 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/themes\/veen\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220522_005411_0000.png\" alt=\"MS Teams CTA\" width=\"785\" height=\"128\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220522_005411_0000.png 785w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220522_005411_0000-300x49.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220522_005411_0000-768x125.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220522_005411_0000-100x16.png 100w, https:\/\/blog.attendancebot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220522_005411_0000-700x114.png 700w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A minor misstep in your virtual communication can lead to misinterpretation.
