help you manage conversations in a team's channel

00:00:09

more effectively.

00:00:11

Posting a message,

00:00:13

following a conversation,

00:00:15

and adding a channel to a section so you can reach it faster.

00:00:19

In a channel set to the post layout,

00:00:22

messages appear one after another in chronological order.

00:00:26

Each new post shows its content along with replies and reactions,

00:00:31

giving you a clear overview of what is happening in the channel.

00:00:35

When you want to focus on a specific conversation,

00:00:39

open the more options menu to the right of the post

00:00:43

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

00:00:48

The discussion then appears in a separate window

00:00:51

and stays visible

00:00:53

even if you switch to a different channel.

00:00:57

From the same menu,

00:00:58

turn on follow for that conversation.

00:01:01

The post is then added to your follow conversations view.

00:01:05

In that view,

00:01:07

selecting a post displays the full

00:01:10

conversation in the right pane.

00:01:12

You can see the original message,

00:01:15

every reply,

00:01:16

and all reactions in one place,

00:01:19

which makes it easier to keep up with the discussion

00:01:22

while still staying on the main overview.

00:01:25

The more options menu

00:01:27

available on each conversation item

00:01:30

provides several quick actions.

00:01:33

You can stop following when the conversation no longer needs attention.

00:01:38

Mark it as unread so you can come back later.

00:01:41

Jump directly to the conversation in its original channel.

00:01:46

Open it in a new window.

00:01:48

Or copy a link to share it with other team members.

00:01:52

The followed conversations view becomes a central

00:01:55

place to keep track of important discussions

00:01:58

without checking every channel.

00:02:04

In a channel set to the threads layout,

00:02:07

the experience is closer to a classic group conversation.

00:02:12

Messages flow continuously between members,

00:02:15

which makes it ideal for quick back and forth communication

00:02:20

while staying within the channel context.

00:02:23

To keep your most important channels within easy reach,

00:02:27

add a channel to a custom section in the channel list.

00:02:31

This lets you organize what you see based on your priorities,

00:02:35

for example,

00:02:36

by grouping the channels you use most often into a dedicated area in the sidebar.

00:02:42

Open the more options menu next to the channel name,

00:02:45

select show in,

00:02:47

then choose an existing section or create a new one.

00:02:51

Enter a clear name and add an icon so you can spot the section quickly.

00:02:57

The channel will then appear in that section

00:03:00

while still remaining in its usual location under the team.

00:03:04

Teams does not move the channel itself.

00:03:08

It stays attached to its original team.

00:03:11

Showing a channel in a section

00:03:13

works like a personal shortcut.

00:03:16

It helps you access the channels you use every day faster

00:03:20

without changing the overall structure of your workspace.
