Use commands in teams

Commands are shortcuts for performing common tasks in Teams: update your status, go to a specific channel, show your recent files and saved messages, and more.

Scroll down to see a list of available commands or to learn how to find out when new commands are available.

To use a command, type / in the command box at the top of Teams. You'll see a menu of all the commands we currently support. Select the command you want, press Enter, and Teams takes care of the rest.

Tip: You can also press Alt+K (Windows) or Option+K (Mac) to open the command list.

Command box with default commands

Commands are available for everyone using Teams, but if a certain command isn't working for you, it could be because your organization has disabled a feature central to the command. For example, if chat is disabled for your organization, chat-based commands won't work.
