tools available during a Microsoft Teams meeting.

00:00:08

When you join a meeting,

00:00:10

a new window opens

00:00:12

in the center you'll find the main meeting area with the participants videos,

00:00:17

profile pictures,

00:00:18

or initials

00:00:19

at the top of the screen,

00:00:21

the toolbar lets you manage important actions during the meeting,

00:00:26

communicate,

00:00:27

interact,

00:00:28

share content,

00:00:29

or adjust your microphone and camera.

00:00:33

Let's start with the conversation button.

00:00:36

It opens the meeting chat.

00:00:38

You can write a message,

00:00:40

ask a question,

00:00:42

or share a link without interrupting the person speaking.

00:00:46

The people button

00:00:47

displays a list of people in the meeting

00:00:50

from this panel you can see who's joining,

00:00:53

search for a person,

00:00:54

or share the meeting invitation.

00:00:57

The raise hand button indicates that you wish to speak.

00:01:01

This is useful for intervening without cutting the speaker directly.

00:01:05

Next to it,

00:01:05

the react button allows you to quickly send a reaction

00:01:09

such as a thumbs up,

00:01:10

a heart,

00:01:11

or applause.

00:01:12

This allows you to interact without activating your microphone.

00:01:16

The view button is used to change the presentation of the meeting.

00:01:20

For example,

00:01:21

you can choose gallery mode,

00:01:23

make the presenter more prominent,

00:01:25

or access other display options depending on the context.

00:01:30

The more button

00:01:31

represented by three dots contains additional options.

00:01:35

Examples include recording and transcription,

meeting information,

00:01:40

timer,

00:01:41

audio settings.

00:01:45

or help.

00:01:46

Now let's move on to the most used commands.

00:01:49

The camera button allows you to turn your video on or off.

00:01:53

If your camera is muted,

00:01:55

other participants will see your profile picture or initials.

00:01:59

The microphone button allows you to turn your microphone on or off.

00:02:04

It is advisable to mute your microphone when you

00:02:07

are not speaking in order to avoid background noise.

00:02:10

The share button allows you to present content to other participants.

00:02:15

You can share your screen,

00:02:17

window,

00:02:18

whiteboard,

00:02:19

PowerPoint presentation,

00:02:21

00:02:22

or search for a file from OneDrive or your computer.

00:02:28

Finally,

00:02:28

the leave button allows you to exit the meeting.

00:02:32

If you are a participant,

00:02:33

the meeting continues for the other people present.

00:02:36

If you are the meeting organizer,

00:02:39

you may also have the option to use end meeting.

00:02:42

This ends the meeting for everyone

00:02:44

rather than simply leaving it yourself.

00:02:47
