00:00:12

Before we open up settings,

00:00:13

let's first look at keyboard shortcuts.

00:00:16

Click the three dots at the top of teams,

00:00:18

then choose

00:00:19

keyboard shortcuts.

00:00:21

Teams displays a window with the available shortcuts

00:00:25

sorted by category.

00:00:27

In the general section you will find,

00:00:29

for example,

00:00:30

shortcuts to open the search,

00:00:33

view commands,

00:00:34

start a conversation,

00:00:35

open the settings.

00:00:38

In navigation,

00:00:39

you can see shortcuts that allow you to quickly

00:00:42

move from one area of teams to another.

00:00:45

In compose,

00:00:46

teams displays the shortcuts for composing a message.

00:00:50

Sending

00:00:51

new line

00:00:52

paste

00:00:53

copy

00:00:54

insert or apply formatting

00:00:57

below the sections related to meetings,

00:01:00

calls and activities

00:01:02

group together quick actions used during daily work

00:01:06

at the top of the window,

00:01:07

the use shortcuts from other apps menu

00:01:10

lets you choose whether Teams only uses its own shortcuts

00:01:14

or if it also accepts some shortcuts inspired by other apps.

00:01:18

In this example

00:01:19

we leave teams only to keep the behavior simple and predictable.

00:01:24

Then close the shortcut window

00:01:26

to open the accessibility settings,

00:01:29

go back to the three dots,

00:01:31

then click settings

00:01:33

in the left column,

00:01:34

choose accessibility.

00:01:36

The hearing section contains the sign language mode.

00:01:40

This mode improves the experience of people who use sign language during meetings,

00:01:45

including better highlighting signers or interpreters.

00:01:48

Teletypewriter mode is intended for certain specialized devices

00:01:52

that allow text communication via telephone.

00:01:55

In captions and transcripts,

00:01:57

the automatically identify me in live captions and live transcripts

00:02:02

helps teams associate your spoken words with your name.

00:02:06

Always show captions in my calls and meetings.

00:02:09

Allows you to display captions automatically when available.

00:02:13

The offensive words filter hides certain terms in live captions.

00:02:18

Finally,

00:02:19

single pointer controls provide an alternative

00:02:22

to dragging and dropping into certain lists

00:02:25

such as reordering conversations or channels.

00:02:28

These settings are not mandatory for everyone.

00:02:31

The goal is to get to know them so that you

00:02:34

can adapt teams to the way you work most comfortably.
