Teams - Use filters and views in Microsoft Teams Tutorial

Use filters and views in Microsoft Teams to find conversations, channels, and information. The transcript shows unread, channels, and conversation filters to limit displays, and quick views for followed discussions, saved items, drafts, and content to discover. It explains combining filters, viewing project or department channels, and customizing the conversation pane with combined or separate views, previews, timestamps, and other display elements.

filters and views make it easier to find important conversations,

00:00:09

channels and information.

00:00:11

They're especially useful when your environment contains multiple teams,

00:00:15

multiple channels,

00:00:16

and lots of private chats.

00:00:18

In the conversation space you will find several quick

00:00:22

filters at the top of the left pane.

00:00:24

By default,

00:00:26

Teams displays all of your chats,

00:00:28

teams,

00:00:29

and channels based on the organization you choose in your settings.

00:00:33

The unread filter shows only items that haven't been viewed yet.

00:00:38

These can be private conversations.

00:00:40

Group chats

00:00:41

or channels where new activities is available,

00:00:45

this filter is useful when you want to quickly identify messages

00:00:49

that require your attention.

00:00:51

You can then use the channels filter to show only your team's channels.

00:00:56

This view allows you to focus on group workspaces,

00:00:59

for example,

00:01:01

channels related to a project,

00:01:03

department,

00:01:04

or team.

00:01:06

If the unread filter is also enabled,

00:01:09

teams will only show channels that contain unread activity.

00:01:13

The conversation filter allows you to limit the display to private chats or

00:01:19

group conversations.

00:01:21

It comes in handy when you're looking for an exchange with a colleague

00:01:24

or a small group without displaying the entire team and channel structure.

00:01:29

It is also possible to combine several filters.

00:01:33

For example,

00:01:34

you can show only unread conversations or only unread channels.

00:01:40

Below the filters,

00:01:41

Teams also offers quick views.

00:01:44

These views provide direct access to certain types of information,

00:01:48

followed discussions,

00:01:50

saved items,

00:01:52

drafts,

00:01:53

and content to discover.

00:01:55

They are therefore not only used to filter the display,

00:01:58

they give access to specific categories to find what is important more easily.

00:02:04

The draft view allows you to resume a message that was started but not sent.

00:02:09

The saved view allows you to find the items you have kept and come back to them later.

00:02:14

These views help organize your work without having

00:02:17

to manually search for messages in each conversation.

00:02:22

Teams also allows you to customize the overall view of conversations and channels.

00:02:27

To do this,

00:02:28

open the menu at the top of the conversation pane

00:02:31

and choose customized view.

00:02:34

This will take you to the conversations and channel settings.

00:02:37

In these settings you can choose a combined or separate display.

00:02:42

The combined view brings together

00:02:44

conversations,

00:02:45

teams,

00:02:46

and channels in a single view.

00:02:48

The separate view helps to further distinguish

00:02:51

private conversations from teams and channels.

00:02:54

The choice depends on how you work and the

00:02:57

level of separation you want in your interface.

00:03:00

On the same page,

00:03:01

you can also enable or disable certain display elements

00:03:06

such as message previews,

00:03:08

time stamps,

00:03:09

filters,

00:03:10

or co-pilot.

00:03:12

These settings allow you to adapt teams to

00:03:14

your habits and keep your interface more readable.

00:03:18

The menu in the conversation pane also offers

00:03:21

quick actions such as marking all as red

00:03:24

or minimizing all sections.

00:03:27

These options are useful for getting your workspace in order,

00:03:31

especially when you're following a lot of conversations or channels.

00:03:35

In short,

00:03:36

filters are used to temporarily reduce the display.

00:03:40

To quickly find what you are interested in.

00:03:43

Quick views provide direct access to certain types of information

00:03:48

such as mentions or drafts.

00:03:50

Finally,

00:03:51

customization settings allow you to tailor the organization

00:03:54

of teams to the way you work.
