You’re probably not working this week. But something to think about for when you go back… are you making the most of Microsoft Teams for business communication? If you’ve been using it for internal team chats and meetings, you’re already ahead of the game. But did you know that you can now send text messages via Teams to anyone, including clients and business partners?
Traditionally, Microsoft Teams was designed for internal team collaboration. With a recent update, they’ve made it super easy to extend your reach and connect with people outside your organisation.
This is really useful. Here’s how it works:
– Open up Teams and click on ‘New Chat’.
– In the ‘To:’ field, type in the phone number of the person you want to send an SMS to.
– In the ‘Add contact name’ field, enter the name of your recipient so it’s easier to identify your chat.
– Compose your message and hit send!
That’s it! It couldn’t be easier.
Your message will be sent to the recipient’s phone number, and they’ll get an SMS from Microsoft Teams. This message will let them know that you want to chat. If they’re interested and want to join the conversation, all they need to do is click the link in the SMS to open Teams via the app.
Now you can seamlessly connect with clients, partners, or anyone you need to collaborate with, all within Microsoft Teams. It’s a great way to streamline communication and stay connected with everyone, no matter where they are.
Give it a try and let us know how it works for your business.
