Hi Andrew, Most of what I am about to share is from memory since I haven't used Teams in a few months. You can switch between the different navigation/view area with control+ <number>; these are the items in the app bar * 1 = activity view: this shows you activity items, both chat and teams where you have been directly mentioned and/or someone has responded to something in a channel/conversation where you have posted. * 2 = Chats: this is you 1:1 conversations with another person--you can think of this as IM chats * 3 = Teams: this is where you find the different teams/channels of conversations * 4 = Calendar * 5 = Calls: (if you have this integration) For the Chat and Teams view, there is a pane (I think of the left side) that changes contents based on the navigation/view. For Chats, this would be a list of people you have had a specific Chat/IM like conversation; This is a tree view where you can have favorites pinned at the top. The Teams navigation/view is a list of Team names that can be expanded to see the different channels in that team. All Teams have a default channel named General. By default as of late 2019, JAWS will turn off the virtual cursor when in Teams; so you can use the F6/Shift F6 to navigate the larger areas--App bar, Conversation/teams area, messages area, and I think one more. The search/edit box at the top is where you can put in quick commands and you can use either / or /? To bring up a list of quick commands (not remembering the exact keystroke at present). I hope this is a little helpful.

Am getting on with the interface but wondered if anyone else was using it? I am members of a few different teams and I am struggling to work out what I need to read or not at the start of the day, i.e, unread messages. Also I am not sure exactly what is going on in the left hand pane where I can switch between teams and direct messages. Any idea of the best way of doing this? Thanks. Andrew. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave@lists.hodgsonfamily.org
