00:00:05

Now,

00:00:05

Teams,

00:00:06

channels and conversations are combined in the conversation section,

00:00:10

centralising all your exchanges in one place.

00:00:13

You will notice that the Teams tab has disappeared from the left navigation bar,

00:00:17

making the interface cleaner and more intuitive.

00:00:21

This change aims to simplify your navigation

00:00:23

and optimise your daily collaboration.

00:00:26

To help you make the most of this new interface,

00:00:29

here is how to customise the view in Microsoft Teams to perfectly match your needs.

00:00:33

To access customization options,

00:00:35

click on the 3 small dots at the top of

00:00:37

the conversation window to open the Additional options menu.

00:00:41

In the dropdown menu,

00:00:42

select customise View to access customization settings.

00:00:46

By enabling message previews and team names for channels,

00:00:49

you can see a preview of message content directly in the list of conversations.

00:00:54

This allows you to quickly grasp the subject

00:00:56

of discussions without having to open them individually.

00:01:00

Displaying the team's name next to channels also makes it easier to identify each

00:01:04

channel and helps you navigate more efficiently

00:01:06

between your various projects or departments.

00:01:10

By activating philtres,

00:01:11

you can sort and display your conversations

00:01:13

and channels according to specific criteria,

00:01:16

such as unread messages,

00:01:17

mentions or favourites.

00:01:20

This helps you focus on the interactions that matter most to you,

00:01:23

thus improving your productivity.

00:01:25

The discovery section acts as an internal news feed,

00:01:28

highlighting posts and updates from different teams and channels.

00:01:32

It is an excellent way to stay informed about news and trending

00:01:35

topics within your organisation without having

00:01:38

to consult each channel individually.

00:01:41

You have the choice between two options for message density.

00:01:44

If you choose comfy,

00:01:46

other people's messages appear on the left,

00:01:48

while yours are aligned to the right.

00:01:50

This clear layout allows you to easily distinguish

00:01:53

your contributions from those of your colleagues,

00:01:56

offering an experience like some instant messaging applications.

00:02:00

If you opt for compact,

00:02:02

all messages are aligned to the left,

00:02:04

making the conversation more compact.

00:02:07

This option

00:02:08

is ideal if you prefer to see as many messages

00:02:10

as possible on the screen without scrolling too much.

00:02:14

Choose the option that best suits your reading style.

00:02:18

You can also choose the position of recent activities in a channel by setting

00:02:21

whether new activities appear at the top or bottom of the list of messages.

00:02:26

Select the option that matches your navigation

00:02:29

habit to make the experience more natural.

00:02:32

By enabling response suggestions,

00:02:34

Teams offers you pre-written quick responses

00:02:37

based on the context of the conversation.

00:02:40

This can save you time in responding to common messages.

00:02:43

If you prefer to write your own responses,

00:02:46

you can disable this feature.

00:02:49

If the new combined view does not suit you,

00:02:51

you have the option to revert to the previous

00:02:53

interface with separate tabs for teams and conversations.

00:02:57

However,

00:02:58

before deciding,

00:02:59

it may be useful to familiarise yourself with the new

00:03:01

features by consulting the other tutorials in this series.

00:03:05

They might bring advantages you hadn't initially considered.

00:03:08

In summary,

00:03:09

customising the view in Microsoft Teams allows you

00:03:12

to adapt the interface to your personal preferences,

00:03:14

making your use more intuitive and efficient.

00:03:18

Do not hesitate to explore these options and adjust the

00:03:20

settings to create a work environment that perfectly suits you.
