Teams: seven helpful keyboard shortcuts

Microsoft Teams is a well-integrated part of many modern work environments - and with the right keyboard shortcuts, you can use the tool even more efficiently. In this blog post, I’ll share my 7 favourite shortcuts.

During meetings

The 3 most important buttons during any meeting are the microphone, camera and screen share buttons. But you can also turn these features on and off with the following shortcuts:

• Camera: Ctrl + Shift + O
• Microphone: Ctrl + Shift + M
• Screen sharing: Ctrl + Shift + E

In Teams

When working in Teams, you can use shortcuts to quickly start a new chat conversation, edit your last message and even add a file to the chat:

• Start a new chat: Ctrl + N
• Edit your last message: Up arrow
• Add a file to the chat: Ctr + O
