Quick Chat Feature?

[Derek Gillespie]

Since we are working from home now, I would like to mimic the in-person office quick chat experience.  In other words, when a co-worker just walked up to you and asked you a quick question at the office.

I know clicking the Audio Call button will call the person but that seems more formal and I wanted something more discrete.  I was hoping for an add-on that might:

•  allow one-click to
  • notify the user that a Teams colleague wants to have a quick audio chat in a unique discreet way: vibrate sound or an automated voice saying: "quick chat?"
• the user can then reply with one click that will either
  • yes: start the call
  • no: decline and propose to wait xx minutes

Does anything like this exist?

Hi,

Nothing like that exists, you could request it as an uservoice https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/.

There is also a Walkie Talkie function coming to Teams, but that is only in the Teams mobile App.

Other suggestions that you can do:

• Of you have an off topic or fun channel in a Team, start a meeting there and see who joins you.
• Schedule a digital coffee break and invite your coworkers.
• Start a chat with a co-worker and just write "quick call? Call me when you can".
