Summary
Chat before, during, and after a Teams meeting, find the meeting chat later, and know who can see it.
Body
Every Teams meeting has its own chat. Use it to share links and questions, and find it again after the meeting.
Chat during the meeting
Select Chat (Show conversation) in the meeting controls. A red dot means there's a new message. The chat opens on the right side.
Chat before or after
- Before: right-click the meeting in your Teams calendar and select Chat with participants.
- After: find the meeting in your Chat list (it has a meeting icon), or right-click the meeting in your calendar and select Chat with participants.
- Recurring meetings share one chat, so earlier messages stay there.
Who can see it
- Everyone invited can use the chat before, during, and after the meeting.
- Guests and people from outside NCU can only chat while they're in the meeting.
- In a channel meeting, the chat shows up in the channel for all members.
Keep sensitive information out of meeting chat. See Using Teams with Sensitive Data.
