Additional chat-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for Education
If the person is not answering in Microsoft Teams chat, try these options:
- If private chat is disabled or limited at the school, post your question in the appropriate class team channel and @mention the educator’s name so they see it.
- If you can’t start a new chat at all, the school may have disabled private chat or enabled supervised chat. In that case, use the class channel and @mention the educator, or reply in an existing supervised chat that already includes an educator.
- If chat is enabled and messages are sending but not answered, wait for a response and, if needed, follow up in class or via whatever contact method the school recommends.
