Message team members directly, no matter what corner of the platform you’re currently in, using @mention in the search bar.
One of the best (and most widely used) Microsoft Teams tricks is to hide your background. Blur your background by simply clicking on the audio and video settings screen when you join a meeting, then select the ellipsis (…) then Blur My Background.
And the organiser can even download meeting transcriptions directly from the platform so no meeting notes required!
