Navigation
Note: If you're using the default app bar configuration in the Microsoft Teams desktop app, use the commands in the table below. If you've changed the order of your apps or added additional apps, the command depends on the app's sequential order on the app bar. For example, if you've moved Calendar to the top of the app bar, press Ctrl+1 to open it, not Ctrl+4. To view the keyboard shortcuts for your current configuration, press Ctrl+E to go to the Search field, type /keys, and then press Enter.
