Sharing files with others 

Sometimes words aren't enough, and you may need to post a file to a channel conversation.

1. In your channel conversation, select 
   Attach  under the box where you type your message.

2. Select from these options:

   • Recent

   • Browse Teams and Channels

   • OneDrive

   • Upload from my computer

3. Select a file > Share a link.

   If you're uploading a file from your computer, select a file, select Open, and then select Send .

You can always see all the files you post to a channel by going to the Files tab.

Using memes, emoji and GIFs 

Express yourself and impress your peers or colleagues. 

• Select Sticker  under the box where you type your message, then pick a meme or sticker from one of the categories.

The Sticker  catalog contains a wide variety of customizable stickers and memes — you can even upload your own! Check out Emoji  for smiley faces and Giphy  for animated GIFs.

Replying to conversations

Conversations in channels are organized by date and then threaded. 

The replies in threads are organised under the initial post so it's easier to follow multiple 

conversations. 

1. Find the conversation thread you want to reply to.

2. Select Reply, add your message, and select Send .

Next we will look at how we can collaborate using Microsoft Teams.
