How can I add people to a conversation in Microsoft Teams?
Start a chat with another person
- Select New message
at the top of your list of chats and channels.
- Enter a name.
- Compose your message in the box at the bottom of the chat.
- To open formatting options, select Format
to the right of your message.
- When your message is ready, select Send
or press Enter to start the chat.
You can also start a one-on-one chat from someone's profile card. Open it by choosing their picture in a channel or finding their name using the Search box.
