Today's Teams Tip - 15 October 2020

15 October 2020

This week we are highlighting the read receipt function in Teams and how to check who has read your message.

Teams Tips - MS Teams logo

Read receipts are ‘on’ by default in Teams unless you choose to turn them off (go to Settings > Privacy > Read receipts). When a colleague has read your message an eye icon will appear next to it. If they haven’t read it, or if they have turned off read receipts, you will only see a tick to show the message has been sent.

Top Tip:Ìýin Group chats (of up to 20 people), it’s possible to seeÌýexactlyÌýwho has read your message.

Click on the ellipsis (…) by your post and you’ll see a ‘Read by’ figure, which will show how many of the group have seen the message e.g. 5/8. If you then click the > to the side of the number, it will list which 5 people out of the group have seen the post.

Please note:Ìýthis function is only available in group chats, and not channel conversations or meeting chats.
