Kari's Tips and Tricks #101:  The NEW Chat Details Pane in Teams

Teams: The Chat Details Pane

Since I'm in the business of learning - there are 2 ways you can learn this tip #1 - Read the step by steps with screenshots or #2 - watch the video (or #3 - both 😊)

Same Chat, More Deets

The Chat Details Pane is new as of October 2024. It's one of the more useful new features, honestly.  If you've been using Teams a while, some of your chats, like mine are REALLY REALLY long. Also, the nature of a chat is there are lots of short replies.  When you need to find something, it can be frustrating...and take a LOOONNNGGG time to scroll and find files or pinned messages. 

Enter...the Chat Details Pane

The Chat Details Pane is a small little icon in the upper right hand corner of your chat window.

Click on it...and ta-da...the Chat Details Pane shows up on the right side of your screen. It's a toggle so you can toggle it on and off as needed.

What's in the Chat Details Pane

• Files sent in the chat.
• Pinned messages.
• A place to search for content.
• Easy place to see all the people that are part of the chat.
