Teams - Follow discussions and organize channels in Teams Tutorial

Follow discussions and organize channels in teams shows three core actions: publishing messages in a channel, following a conversation with a three-dot menu to open it in a new window and enable conversation tracking, and displaying a channel in a custom section for quick access. It explains the chronological message flow, the follow discussion view with a right-pane conversation, and quick actions like mark unread, turn off tracking, or share a chat link. It also covers arranging channels into sections while keeping the original team structure.

00:00:09

publish a message,

00:00:10

follow a conversation,

00:00:12

and display a channel in a section for faster access.

00:00:16

In a channel in a published layout,

00:00:19

messages appear below each other in a chronological stream.

00:00:23

Each new post appears with its content,

00:00:26

responses,

00:00:27

and reactions,

00:00:29

giving a clear overview of the channel's activity.

00:00:33

To focus on a specific conversation,

00:00:36

open the three dot menu to the right of the post,

00:00:39

then choose the option that opens the conversation in a new window.

00:00:44

The chat appears in a separate window and remains visible

00:00:48

even when browsing to another channel.

00:00:51

From the same menu enable conversation tracking.

00:00:55

The post will then enter the followed discussion view.

00:00:59

In this view,

00:01:00

clicking on a post displays the entire conversation in the right pane.

00:01:05

The original message,

00:01:06

all replies and reactions appear in this panel,

00:01:10

allowing you to follow the exchange without leaving the overall view.

00:01:15

The 3 dot menu on each item offers several quick actions.

00:01:19

Turn off tracking when the conversation no longer needs to be monitored.

00:01:24

Mark the chat as unread to come back to it later.

00:01:28

Go directly to the conversation in its original channel.

00:01:32

Open the chat in a new window

00:01:34

or copy the conversation link to share with other members.

00:01:38

This makes the follow discussion view a

00:01:40

central point for keeping tabs on important exchanges

00:01:45

without going through all channels.

00:01:47

In a channel in a discussion layout,

00:01:49

the operation is similar to a classic conversation in a discussion group.

00:01:54

The messages flow naturally and form a continuous thread between the members.

00:02:00

This mode is used to quickly discuss a subject

00:02:03

while remaining in the context of the channel.

00:02:06

To keep essential channels at your fingertips,

00:02:08

display a channel in a custom section of the list.

00:02:12

To do this,

00:02:13

open the menu of the three dots to the right of the channel name

00:02:17

and then select show in.

00:02:19

Choose an existing section or create a new section.

00:02:23

Enter a clear name

00:02:24

and add an icon to quickly identify this area.

00:02:29

The channel will then appear in this section in

00:02:31

addition to its usual position below the team.

00:02:35

Teams doesn't physically move the channel.

00:02:37

He remains attached to his original team.

00:02:41

The view in a section acts as a personal shortcut

00:02:44

convenient for quick access to channels used in everyday life

00:02:49

without

00:02:49

changing the overall structure of the workspace.
