Microsoft Teams Third-Party Chat and Meeting Shortcuts

Message ID: MC992216 (Updated)

Updated July 9, 2025: We have updated the timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Users familiar with keyboard shortcuts from third-party chat and meeting applications can use those same shortcuts in Microsoft Teams. To enable this, go to the Settings and more button in the upper right, access the keyboard shortcuts dialog, and select a communication or meeting layout. This allows users to apply the shortcuts they are used to from other applications.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 472913.
