In Microsoft Teams (free), meeting chats are automatically created and can be found in your Chat tab, accessible before, during, and after your meetings. Utilize @mentions in your meeting chat to capture the attention of participants.
Note: This article is for Microsoft Teams (free) meetings only. For community events, please see Learn about community calendars and events in Microsoft Teams (free).
Before a meeting
Utilize the meeting chat to disseminate important information before your meeting, such as the agenda, relevant documents for the discussion, or any inquiries participants might have beforehand.
During a meeting
Use in-meeting chat or the chat list to send messages, share documents, or distribute images.
After a meeting
Use the meeting chat to take notes, list action items, and to keep everyone updated on your progress.
Meeting chat history
The chat history in a meeting is retained for the participants. Guests can access the chat history only while the meeting is in progress. Participants who join the meeting later will see the chat from the point they joined onwards.
