If your team already lives in Microsoft Teams, your coworkers can live there too. Add them like you would any colleague, and message them the same way.

​
What it feels like

Real-time replies

You see the answer being written as it comes together — not just a wall of text after a long wait.

Rich responses

Coworkers can reply with structured cards — a summary you can scan, or buttons to approve something — not only plain text.

​
Getting started

1

Find your coworker in Teams

Search for them by name, or ask whoever set up your workspace for the link to add them.
2

Message them like a colleague

Describe what you need in plain language, in a direct message or a channel they’re part of.
3

Watch the reply stream in

You’ll see the response build in real time, and any files or cards will appear right in the conversation.
Teams is a great fit if your team already chats there daily and wants a coworker to feel like another member of the channel.
